Anglican bishops declare that Jesus is not God

Muslims are not the only ones who believe that Jesus
(pbuh) is mortal and not a god. The Jews also believe this,
in addition to the very first groups of Christianity such as
the Ebonites, the Cerinthians, the Basilidians, the
Capocratians, and the Hypisistarians. The Arians,
Paulicians and Goths also accepted Jesus (pbuh) as a
prophet of God. Even in the modern age there are churches
in Asia, in Africa, the Unitarian church, the Jehovah's
witnesses, and even the majority of today's Anglican
Bishops do not worship Jesus (pbuh) as God.

In the British newspaper the "Daily News" 25/6/84 under

the heading "Shock survey of Anglican Bishops" We read

"More than half of England's Anglican Bishops say that

Christians are not obliged to believe that Jesus Christ was
God, according to a survey published today. The pole of 31
of England's 39 bishops shows that many of them think
that Christ's miracles, the virgin birth and the resurrection
might not have happened exactly as described in the Bible.
Only 11 of the bishops insisted that Christians must regard
Christ as both God and man, while 19 said it was sufficient
to regard Jesus as 'God's supreme agent'"

But what is a messenger of God? Is he not "God's supreme

agent" ?. This is indeed what God Himself has already told
us in the noble Qur'an 1400 years ago, and exactly what
Jesus (pbuh) himself testified to in the Bible:
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
John 17:3

Astounding, isn't it? With every passing day, the most

learned among the Christian community are slowly
recognizing the truth and drawing closer and closer to
Islam. These are not Muslims who issued this statement.
These are not "liberal" Christians. These are the most
learned and most highly esteemed men of the Anglican
Church. These men have dedicated their whole lives to the
study of the religion of Jesus, and their study has driven
them to the truth which God had already revealed to them
in the Qur'an 1400 years ago: That Jesus was not God.
That God is not a Trinity. And that the stories of the
ministry of Jesus in the Bible have been extensively
tampered with by the hands of mankind.

"And when Allah said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say
unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods
beside Allah? he said: Be You glorified. It was not mine to
utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then
You knew it. You know what is in my [innermost] self but I
know not what is in Yours. Truly! You, only You are the
Knower of things hidden. I spoke unto them only that
which You commanded me, (saying): Worship Allah, my
Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness over them while I
dwelt among them, and when You took me You were the
Watcher over them, and You are Witness over all things."

The noble Qur'an, Al-Maidah(5):116-118

 The Church, as Heinz Zahrnt put it "put words into the
mouth of Jesus which he never spoke and attributed
actions to him which he never performed." One of those
who has shown that most of what the church says about
Jesus is baseless is Rudolph Augustein in his book "Jesus
the Son of Man." Another very comprehensive study of this
matter can be found in the book "The Myth of God
Incarnate" which was written by seven theologian scholars
in England in 1977 and edited by John Hick. Their
conclusion in this matter is that Jesus was "a man
approved by God, for a special role within the divine
purpose, and..... the later conception of him as God
incarnate ... is a mythological or poetic way of expressing
his significance for us." See also John Mackinnon
Robertson's "Christianity and Mythology" T.W Doane's
"The Bible Myths and their Parallels in Other Religions"
(A good summary of these studies is available in M.F.
Ansarei, "Islam and Christianity in the Modern World").

A University of Richmond professor, Dr. Robert Alley,

after considerable research into newly found ancient
********s concludes that

"....The (Biblical) passages where Jesus talks about the Son

of God are later additions.... what the church said about
him. Such a claim of deity for himself would not have been
consistent with his entire lifestyle as we can reconstruct.
For the first three decades after Jesus' death Christianity
continued as a sect within Judaism. The first three decades
of the existence of the church were within the synagogue.
That would have been beyond belief if they (the followers)
had boldly proclaimed the deity of Jesus."
 Is there any confirmation of this in the Bible, yes! If we
were to read the Bible we would find that long after the
departure of Jesus, his faithful followers continued to
"keep up their daily attendance at the Temple" (Acts 2:46)
It would be beyond belief to imagine that had Jesus indeed
preached to his apostles that he was God, and if Jesus had
indeed commanded them to forsake the commandments,
that they would then disregard all of this and continue to
worship in a Jewish synagogue on a daily basis, let alone
the great Temple itself. It is further beyond belief that the
Jews of the Temple would stand idly by and allow them to
do this if they were preaching the total cancellation of the
law of Moses and that Jesus was God.
Can any Trinitarian Christian, even in their wildest
fantasies, imagine that the Jews in an orthodox Jewish
synagogue would stand idly by while he took out his cross
and prayed to Jesus in the midst of their synagogue and
was publicly calling others to worship Jesus and forsake
the commandments? How much more preposterous to
imagine that they would have nothing to say to someone
who did that in their most sacred of all synagogues, the
Temple, on a daily basis yet. This is further evidence in
support of the Qur'an, that Jesus only called his followers
to a continuation of the religion of Moses and not by any
means to the total cancellation and destruction of that law.

In the previous section, we read the following verses of the

Bible:

"Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart,

that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the
earth beneath: [there is] none else." Deuteronomy 4:39.
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3
 "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD,
whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:" Exodus 34:14
"Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant
whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me,
and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no
God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, [even] I,
[am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no savior." Isaiah
43:10-11.
"Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer
the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and
beside me [there is] no God." Isaiah 44:6
"That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from
the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD,
and [there is] none else." Isaiah 45:6
"For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God
himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath
established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be
inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else."
Isaiah 45:18.
"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
for I [am] God, and [there is] none else." Isaiah 45:22

Now we should begin to ask ourselves: If there was no god

before or after God Almighty, then how was Jesus (pbuh)
"begotten" as a god? The answer is: he was not. He was a
mortal man, not a god. We even have the testimony of the
majority of today's Anglican Bishops in defense of this
basic truth. If we want the testimony of a trustworthy
witness then how much more trustworthy a witness shall
we ever find than the majority of the most learned and
respected conservative Christians of the Anglican Church?

The Bible only preaches that Jesus is God and that God is a
Trinity to those who do not know it's innermost details and
the truth of the history of the Church as these men have
come to know it. But let us move on in our study of the
Biblical verses so that we can see only a small sampling of
the evidence that has made the truth clear to these men.
