The two women decided to secretly switch places in Jesse\u2019s bed (much as Rachel and Leah were switched to trick Jacob into mating with Leah\u2013Gen. 29:16-25). From this union with Jesse, Nitzevet became pregnant with David.<br \/>\nNitzevet, not wanting to disclose the \u201cswitch\u201d to Jesse, was viewed as \u201cadulterous\u201d and her child, David, as being \u201cillegitimate.\u201d<br \/>\nIn this Psalm (51:1-5) David, lamenting his own adultery with Bathsheba, is recounting his mother\u2019s assumed \u201cadultery;\u201d that he was conceived in \u201csin\u201d\/ \u201cadultery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If Psalm 51:1-5 was about original\/inherited sin, in which David would have been a helpless partaker, it would have been an injustice for God to condemn David for dallying with Uriah\u2019s wife and had Uriah killed; and moreover to give David\u2019s wives to David\u2019s neighbor to lie with them as punishment to David\u2013(2 Samuel 11:2-5; 2 Samuel 12:9-11).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Notably, the several books after those written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are mostly the words of Paul, who was a self-admitted liar, forger of his own Gospel, subverted Jesus\u2019 teachings and became a human chameleon to snare people into following his pagan son of God.

Adam forgot and ate (the fruit) of the tree and so his offspring also forgot and he (Adam) committed an error and so did his offspring commit an error<\/u><\/strong>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ANSWER:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>My father forgot something and I forgot something (even if it is the same thing) this does not make me and my father to be the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clearly, what Adam \u2018denied\u201d was that he conferred forty of his years\/life to David.<br \/>\nIf David was given sixty (60) years plus (40) forty of Adam\u2019s this would give him a lifespan of one hundred (100) years, But according to Biblical sources on the <em>Internet<\/em> David lived only seventy (70) years.<br \/>\nWhich conveys that either the Prophet was in error or God did not give David the forty years from Adam or the Biblical sources had miscalculated or the Hadith was a fabrication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">10. \u201cThe Prophet said, &#8220;Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. &#8216;O Adam!<strong>You are our father WHO DISAPPOINTED US AND TURNED US OUT OF PARADISE<\/strong>.&#8217; Then Adam said to him, &#8216;O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand.<strong>Do you blame me for action WHICH ALLAH HAD WRITTEN IN MY FATE forty years before my creation?<\/strong>&#8216; So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses,&#8221; the Prophet added, repeating the Statement three times.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ANSWER:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>If All\u0101h had predestined this for Adam, Adam could not have been charged as having \u201cdisappointed us.\u201d Adam would have been a helpless pawn.<br \/>\nIf All\u0101h had preordained man\u2019s action then Adam was not guilty of any wrong-doing. Also it would have been preordained for mankind to inherit Adam\u2019s sin; thus, there would have been no need for God to have Jesus killed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notably, it is ADAM who says \u201cALLAH HAD WRITTEN IN MY FATE forty years before my creation.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd how did Adam know this? Is there any place in the Qur\u2019an where All\u0101h said this to Adam?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That Adam confuted Moses does not mean that Adam was right\/correct; only that Adam was wittier. Significantly the Prophet was only noting an exchange between Moses and Adam, not that it was a Divine truth.<br \/>\nIf All\u0101h had predestined our actions it would have been pointless for Him to send prophets\/messengers to guide us into goodness,\u00a0 What is preordained is the laws of nature. (See <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/nogodbutallah.org\/?page_id=356\">Islam-predestination<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">11. The Prophet said: \u201cAllah, the Blessed and Exalted, would gather people (on the Day of Judgment). The believers would stand till the Paradise would be brought near them. They would come to Adam and say: O our father, open for us the Paradise. He would say:<strong><u>What turned you out from the Paradise WAS THE SIN OF YOUR FATHER ADAM<\/u><\/strong>. I am not in a position to do that.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ANSWER:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>Adam said that it was his sin that turned them out of Paradise NOT that they had inherited sin from him.<br \/>\nThat Adam was turned out of Paradise, it was obvious his offspring would be born outside of Paradise. This does not make the offspring guilty of their father\u2019s (Adam\u2019s) sin.<br \/>\nTo restate, a man being expelled from a country, though his family is expelled along with him, does not make his family a culprit as he is.<br \/>\nIn fact if we can find the tree of life we can eat from it and live forever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Significantly. Even though Adam was turned out from Paradise, his son, Abel, was yet favored by God:<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201cAnd the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering,\u201d \u201cBy faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained WITNESS (from God) that he was RIGHTEOUS, GOD testifying of his gifts\u201d\u2013(Genesis 4:4; Hebrews 11:4).<br \/>\n<\/span>Abel could not have been crowned \u201crighteous\u201d by God if Abel had inherited sin from his father, Adam, <span style=\"color: #800080;\">(and there was no Jesus to die for his sin). One who has sin, whether inherited or committed, cannot be hailed as \u201crighteous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">12. The Prophet said, &#8220;Were it not for Bani Israel, meat would not decay;<strong>and were it not FOR EVE, no woman would ever betray her husband.<\/strong>&#8221;<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ANSWER:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>This does not mean that Eve is to be blamed for a woman betraying her husband.<br \/>\nApart from the fact that original\/inherited sin is not Divine revelation or prophetic teaching. Considering that All\u0101h has given man the choice of good and evil, it is sheer foolhardiness to assert that this hadith supports the Christian belief of original\/inherited sin or that one person bears the spiritual burden of another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Cain killing Abel, All\u0101h prescribed for the Children of Israel \u201cthat whoever kills a person, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he had killed all men. And whoever saves a life, it is as though he had saved the lives of all men\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 5:30-32).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus, this saying of the Prophet is to be taken in the above context; that a woman who betrays her husband it is as though she had betrayed all husbands (as she would not hesitate to betray again). (See next item).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">13. The Prophet said, &#8220;None is killed unjustly,<strong>but the first son of Adam will have a part of its burden<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ANSWER:<\/span><br \/>\nAll this means is that the unjust killing of a person is like killing all men, which dates back to Cain killing Abel\u2013(ref; Qur\u2019an 5:30-32 above).<br \/>\nNotably, Jesus poured the blood of all the righteous people from Abel all the way down to Zacharias, son of Barachias, onto the heads of the Jews\u2013(Matthew 23:34-35). <span style=\"color: #800080;\">And there was no inherited sin and vicarious atonement. But rather, he (Jesus) told the Jews heaven lies in them following the Mosaic Law until the arrival of the Comforter who will guide them into \u201call truth\u201d and will \u201cabide for ever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">14. All\u0101h reveals in Qur\u2019an 91:7-8: \u201cAnd the soul and its perfection!\u2014 So He reveals to it its way of evil and its way of good; <strong>He is indeed successful who causes it to grow.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>And the Prophet explans this verse:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">\u201cTwo men of the tribe of Muzaina came to Allah&#8217;s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Allah&#8217;s Messenger, what is your opinion that the people do in the world and strive for, is something decreed for them; something preordained for them and will their fate in the Hereafter be determined by the fact that their Prophets brought them teachings which they did not act upon, and thus they became deserving of punishment? Thereupon, he said: Of course, it happens\u00a0<strong>AS IT IS DECREED BY DESTINY AND PREORDAINED FOR THEM, and this view is confirmed by this verse of the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious: &#8220;Consider the soul and Him Who made it perfect, THEN BREATHED INTO ITS SIN and its piety&#8221; (91:8).<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ANSWER:<\/span><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>Since both sin and piety is breathed into man then obviously man has equal tendency of going either way: he can do either good or evil. Thus, his actions cannot be preordained. If his actions are preordained he is not guilty of sin or credited with good.<br \/>\nMuhammad Ali comments on verse 8:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe verse is a fitting sequel to the statement made in the previous verse as regards the perfection of the soul, as it points out the way to perfection. It is through <em>ilham<\/em>, Divine inspiration, or revelation, that the soul is made perfect, because Divine revelation makes clear, the two ways, <em>fujur<\/em>, or <em>the way of deviation from the Truth<\/em>, i.e., <em>the way of evil<\/em>, and <em>taqwa<\/em>, or <em>the way of observance of duty<\/em>, or <em>the way of good<\/em>. It is by avoiding the former and walking in the latter that perfection can be attained. Both Rodwell and Palmer are wrong here in translating the verse as meaning, \u201cAnd breathed\u00a0into it its wickedness and its piety\u201d (Rodwell), \u201ctaught it its sin and its piety\u201d (Palmer), for the statement in this form is not only contradicted by the whole of the Qur\u2019an, but is also self-contradictory and meaningless. <em>Ilham <\/em>always signifies <em>an intimation by inspiration from the Divine Being<\/em>, or <em>Divine revelation<\/em>. \u201c<em>And this is peculiar to that which is intimated by Allah<\/em>\u201d (R). Rz says <em>the intimation by inspiration of good and evil <\/em>means the <em>making a man to understand and know them both<\/em>, and he adds that this explanation is accepted by I\u2018Ab and all trustworthy commentators.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd the footnote to this hadith (Sahih Muslim #6406) states:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis verse reveals that Destiny does not imply that man is completely bereft of will to choose and act and he becomes a helpless actor in the drama of life, who has to act and behave as his Director directs him to do\u2026.His activities are limited by forces beyond his control, but at the same time there is ingrained in his very nature power which he is free to use for the achievement of good ends or for fulfilling evil designs.\u201d (And the commentator notes the answer Hazrat Ali, the third Caliph, gave to one of his followers who had fought at the Battle of Siffin and who enquired that if it was All\u0101h\u2019s decree had led them to Syria. To which the venerable Caliph answered:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c\u201cPerhaps you consider predestination to be necessary and the particular decree to be irreversible; if it were so, then would reward and punishment be vain, and the promise and the threat would be of no account; and merely blame would not have come from God for the sinner nor praise for the righteous nor would righteous be more worthy of reward of his good deed than the wicked; nor the wicked more deserving of the punishment of his sin than the righteous. Such a remark (savours) of the brethren of devils and the worshippers of idols and of the enemies of the Merciful and of those who bear witness to falsehood and of those that are blind to the right in their affairs \u2013such as the fatalists and the Magians of this church. God hath ordained the giving of choice (to men) and forbidden the putting (of them) in fear; and He hath not laid duties upon men by force nor sent \u2013His Prophets in sport.

And to perform Hajj or any other good deed on behalf of a person could hardly be said to be similar to \u201coriginal\u201d sin and\/or vicarious atonement. Or that it is \u201cto become reconciled\u201d with God or \u201cto supply satisfaction for,\u201d or \u201cto make amends;\u201d or is a \u201creparation of an offense or injury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A person atones for committing a wrong or sin or mistake \u2013 making an oath to do a good deed is not a \u201csin.\u201d<br \/>\nBeing unable to repay a debt or fulfill a promise to make the hajj because you die before you could do so is not a wrong or sin or mistake. Thus, one who fulfills these promises\/debts on your behalf is not making up for a wrong or sin or mistake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the deceased person were not able to fulfil his oath (of sacrifice or hajj or whatever) the Prophet, rightly instructed the child to perform the act on his\/her parents (or another\u2019s) behalf, which is a good deed.<br \/>\nChildren performing hajj and other acts on behalf of their parents\/others, whether alive or deceased, is not to free their parents of any sin; their acts are voluntary not compulsory <span style=\"color: #800080;\">(as original sin and vicarious atonement are).<\/span><br \/>\nIt is gross libel to charge that All\u0101h would hold a person responsible for not fulfilling his\/her oath when He gives the person death <span style=\"color: #800080;\">(or the person is killed)<\/span> before the person could have done so.<br \/>\nIt is not only baseless but absurd to equate these allowances by the Prophet which are voluntary acts to the Christian\u2019s vicarious atonement which is a cardinal doctrine of Christianity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if these actions by relatives on behalf of their parents and other relations were \u201cvicarious\u201d acts, let the Christian show in the Bible where God says He puts Adam\u2019s sin onto man and then had Jesus killed for this sin, so that the Christian should equate these Muslim acts with the Christian doctrines of \u201coriginal\u201d\/\u201dinherited\u201d sin and vicarious atonement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, Allah and His Prophet prohibits us from even praying at the times the pagans worshipped the sun <span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u2013while it is rising and setting on the horizon and directly overhead.<br \/>\n<\/span>It is a colossal error to cerebrate that All\u0101h and His Messenger would then enjoin on us practices that ape the Christian belief of \u201cvicarious atonement\u201d which attributes gross injustice to God and makes God complicit in murder and denies God His Attributes of <em>Rahman <\/em>and <em>Raheem <\/em><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u2013His \u201cutmost degree of love and generosity\u201d and \u201cunbounded and constant favor and mercy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Muslims who hold the view that Hajj and other acts on behalf of parents and others to be like the Christian \u201cvicarious atonement\u201d need to revisit the Qur\u2019an and hadith.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if the Qur\u2019an had taught original sin and vicarious atonement; yet the Christian cannot show in the Bible that God says He puts Adam\u2019s sin onto mankind and had Jesus killed for this sin.<br \/>\nAnd as already stated. Even if Hadith had taught original\/inherited sin and vicarious atonement they would be in contradiction with the Qur\u2019an and would have to be discarded.

Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud B.D. <span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u2013\u201cthe former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect\u201d\u2013<\/span> points out: \u201cThe Holy Spirit, in all the Christian literature of diverse languages, has not a fixed gender. He, she, it, are all commonly used as the personal pronouns for the Holy Ghost;\u201d And<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Comforter \u2013the Spirit of Truth\u2013 spoken of by Jesus was no other than Muhammad himself. It cannot be taken as the Holy Ghost, as the Church theology says. \u201cIt is expedient for you that I go away,\u201d says Jesus, \u201cfor if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart I will send him unto you\u201d(John 16:7). The words clearly show that the Comforter had to come after the departure of Jesus, and was not with him when he uttered these words. Are we to presume that Jesus was devoid of the Holy Ghost if his coming was conditional on the going of Jesus: besides, the way in which Jesus describes him makes him a human being, not a ghost. \u201cHe shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear that he shall speak\u201d (John 16:13). Should we presume that the Holy Ghost and God are two distinct entities and that the Holy Ghost speaks of himself and also what he hears from God? The words of Jesus clearly refer to some messenger from God. He calls him the Spirit of Truth, and so the Qur\u2018an speaks of Muhammad, \u201cNay, he has come with the Truth and verified the apostles\u201d (Qur\u2019an 37:37). (<em>Muhammad In The Bible, <\/em>p. 6).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And Malik Ghulam Farid notes in his commentary (3037):<br \/>\n\u201cThe above prophecy in the Gospel of John closely resembles the prophecy mentioned in the verse under comment (Qur\u2019an 61:6) except that instead of Ahmad the name stated therein (in the Gospel) is Paraclete (Comforter)\u2026Jesus spoke both Aramaic and Hebrew. Aramaic was his mother tongue and Hebrew his religious language. The present Biblical version is the translation of Aramaic and Hebrew into Greek\u2026The Greek language has another word, <em>i.e.,<\/em> Periklutos, with a simi-lar meaning as Ahmad in Arabic. Jack Finegan, the renowned Christian theologian, in his book, \u201cThe Archaeology of World Religions,\u201d says: \u2018Where in Greek the word Parakletos (Comforter) is very similar to Periklutos (renowned), the latter word being the meaning of the names Ahmad and Muhammad.\u2019<br \/>\nMoreover, \u201cThe Damascus Document\u201d, a scripture discovered towards the end of the nineteenth century in Ezra synagogue, Old Cairo, (p.2), described Jesus as having foretold the advent of a \u201cHoly Spirit\u201d, named Emeth: <em>And by His Messiah, He has made them know His Holy Spirit. For it is he who is Emeth, i.e., the Truthful One, and in accordance with His name are also theirs\u2026<\/em> \u201cEmeth\u201d in Hebrew means \u201cthe Truth\u201d, or \u201cthe Truthful One and a person of constant goodness\u201d (Strachan\u2019s Fourth Gospel, p. 141). This word was interpreted by the Jews as \u201cGod\u2019s Seal.\u201d Naturally, though Jesus must have used the name Ahmad, the phonetic resemblance between the two words (Ahmad and Emeth) led later writers to substitute \u201cEmeth\u201d for Ahmad, its Hebrew synonym. Thus the prophecy mentioned in the verse (of John) applies to the Holy Prophet\u201d (Mohammad).<br \/>\nWe are yet to hear of a Holy Ghost\/Spirit named Ahmad or Emeth \u201cthe truth\u201d or \u201cthe Truthful One and a person of constant goodness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the name of All\u0101h, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
