Part 3: Orthodox and Catholic

A Gift For The Cleverconcerning the refutation upon the people of the cross

Chapter two:1
Regarding:The splitting of the Christians and the multitude of their Methodologies and their Sects
Know– may Allah have mercy upon you -: that the Christians split into two sects.1
The first sect[1]:1
They believe that 'Isa is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things who created the heavens and the earth. Then it is said to them: you have lied, disbelieved and opposed your gospels, for verily Matthew said in the twenty-sixth chapter of his gospel: verily 'Isa -peace be upon him – said to the disciples the night before the Jews took him “I have become overwhelmed by the sorrow of death”[2].Then his sadness intensified, he changed (i.e. in behaviour) and prostrated on his face crying and he begged Allah the Most High saying: “Oh my God, if it is possible that this cup be turned away from me, then turn it away from me. And it is not what I want rather it is what You want” [3]1
So then this is an acknowledgement from the Messiah that he is from the sons of Adam, incapable, fearing the descending of death upon him, and that he has a God, he called Him as 'my God', and he begged him. Then they (i.e. the four) added: that from his humanness, fear and sadness; he was from those who complain regarding the ability of Allah the Most High when he said “ if it is possible that this cup be turned away from me, then turn it away from me”, because this is the very essence of doubt regarding the ability of Allah the Most High, exalted be His mention
The Messiah was not without knowledge that Allah is capable of all things. So then what is the meaning of his statement “if it is possible” for if he knew that Allah was not capable of that, then what is the meaning of his question and begging Him? The soul from Allah[4] and His Messenger is far from having doubt in the ability of Allah the Most High, rather he was one that knew (with) the degrees of certainty that Allah is not incapable of anything. All of that which flowed from his hands from miracles, then it was by the ability of Allah the Most High and His Godly will, there is none worthy of worship except He
It is also said to this sect: you have opposed that which John mentioned in the seventeenth chapter from his gospel: “ that the Messiah looked to the sky and begged to Allah the Most High and said: Oh Lord, I thank you for the answering of my call and I acknowledge you for that. And I know that you answer the call in every time, however I ask you because of this group that is present, for verily they do not believe that you sent me” [5] 1
Then the Messiah acknowledged that he has a God, and he begged Him and he thanked Him for His Blessings and He answered his call. So then how can they say: verily 'Isa is the one who created the heavens and the earth? Can there be in the sane minds anything more atrocious than this?1
And from that which is in their books: is that which John said in the fifth chapter in his gospel: verily 'Isa said to the Jews “he who listens to my speech and then believes in He who sent me, then he will enter paradise”[6]1
And within this chapter in his (i.e. Johns') gospel: “that the Jews said: Oh 'Isa who bares witness for you in what you say? So he said: the Lord is the One who sent me, He is the One who bares witness for me”[7]1
So then 'Isa is one who acknowledges that he is a prophet that was sent, and that he has a Lord who sent him, and that the one who acts upon what he hears from him and then believes in He who sent him, will enter paradise
And also from that which is in their books: is what Mark said in thef irst chapter of his gospel: “there was in Jerusalem one who was possessed, the Jinn was talking through his mouth, then 'Isa walked past him and the Jinn screamed at him. He (i.e. the Jinn) said: Oh 'Isa, what do you want with me? Is it that you want to remove me from this body in order for the people to know that you are a prophet, and that you are the soul from Allah and that Allah the Most High sent you? Then 'Isa ordered him to leave (the body) so it left and the man stood healthy and unhurt. So those that were present were astonished by this”[8]1
This is of the utmost clarity and proof that 'Isa was a man from mankind, and a messenger from the messengers – may the blessings of Allah be upon all of them
The second sect:[9]1
They believe that 'Isa is the son of Allah, and that he is a god and he is a man. For he is a god due to his father, and he is a man due to his mother, and the Jews killed his human form. As for his godly side –after his human body had entered the grave – it descended to hell-fire and removed from it Adam, Nuh (Noah) and Ibraheim (Abraham) and all of the prophets, they were in there due to the sins of their father Adam concerning the eating from the tree, and that all of these prophets ascended to the heaven in the company of the godly side after the coming together of his divinity and his humanity
And this belief is of the utmost disbelief, stupidity and in-correctness concerning their religion. We seek the refuge of Allah from what He tested them with, and we say to them: you have lied upon Allah and upon His Messenger 'Isa. And the proof for that: is that which is within their books
From that: is what Mark said in the twelfth chapter of his gospel: “verily 'Isa -peace be upon him – said to the disciples: Know and believe that your father, the Divine, the One in the heaven – and he intended by that: Allah the Most High – He is One alone, He begets not and neither was He begotten”[10]1
So then which testimony against their lies is more clear than this which is in their gospel, the testimony of 'Isa -peace be upon him
The remainder of the Christian sects, their beliefs are all disbelief and lies and they judge with slander, I have abandoned their mention with the intention of abridgement and conciseness
Andwith Allah lies success
