Those who claim
that Jesus (peace be upon him) is the “son of God” apparently are not
fully aware of the implications of their claim. They are so blinded by religious
fervor that they do not understand the exact meaning of what they are saying. The
statement is so far-fetched and so blasphemous, that, should any of them pause
for reflection, they would instantly renege on the claim. In plain language,
they are claiming that the Infinite and Almighty Creator actually fathered
a child with an Earth-woman, out of wedlock! In other words, the
Almighty God committed fornication, rather, adultery,
with a married woman called Mary! The implications of the claim are so
horrendous that even thinking about them makes one’s brain boil with horror
over the extent of the blasphemy.
The Roots of Fatherhood
Fatherhood is
established by the presence of genetic material from a male within
the DNA of a child. This is usually
caused by copulation between a male and a female. The female becomes pregnant because
of the exchange of sperm and the subsequent activation of her egg. Normal pregnancy requires an active
exchange of sperm and fatherhood is the byproduct of the process, usually sex.
Fatherhood cannot be claimed unless one donated the sperm that caused the
pregnancy. So to claim that Almighty God is the “father” of Jesus (peace be upon
him) is a horrendously blasphemous claim indeed. The makers of the
claim are emphatically staking their lives on the premise that He did not create
that child (Jesus) by His usual means but He actually copulated with
the woman to produce a son!
The Miraculous Process of Human Creation
People who stake their lives on this claim have
become ignorant of the miraculous processes of human creation. Although
humanity has undergone the process of human creation constantly for thousands
of years, we need to realize that the process clearly involves the input of the
Creator Himself. Despite the advances of human science and technology,
pregnancy, natal development and birth are not independent of Divine decree.
Some of the process is in human hands but the most important parts of it are
solely dependent on the Almighty God. It is God Who chooses when a woman
becomes pregnant from a sexual encounter, even if she does not want to. Neither
she nor her male companion has any control over this matter. Once they engage
in the natural act of copulation, God determines the outcome. After that,
humans are merely spectators in the process of human creation.
The Work Of God In Human Creation
Once pregnancy is
established, it is God Who determines if the process will succeed. Some women suffer miscarriages despite the
best of medical care and others complete their pregnancies despite the roughest
of conditions, again demonstrating that Divine intervention is at work. The
stages of development of the fetus and the formation of its body-parts and
limbs are completely beyond the control of the woman in whose body the creation
process is taking place. Doctors are merely on-lookers at these events. They
can do nothing to speed up the processes. The fetus’ ability to live and grow
within the mother’s body takes place without human intervention. Although the
child will become an air-breather after birth, it miraculously grows within a
water-based environment for the entirety of its developmental process. The creation of its soul, its mental
faculties and physical abilities are totally beyond the knowledge and scope of
its parents and of our greatest medical and scientific minds. There are so many
subtleties built into a human being during its creation that no-one beholding
the resulting baby can forecast its fate. So only ignorant people believe that
God is absent from the process of pregnancy and human creation. God has always
been, and will always be, involved in creating humans throughout the history of humanity.
Jesus, Adam and Eve
All “sophisticated”
nations are aware of the account of the creation of Adam, the first human. In
every account, we are told that Adam was created by God without the use of a
father or mother. No-one in their right mind would
claim that Adam is the “son” of God or that Eve is his “daughter”! We
all accept the fact that Adam and Eve are both simply creatures He made as part
of the process of Creation. So
why the surprise and wonderment over the creation of Jesus (peace be upon him)?
Jesus, it must be remembered, had a mother!
If we accept the
reality that God, in His Omnipotence, can create human beings (obviously) without the standard process of using a
mother and father figure, why should we need to blaspheme because he
created Jesus (peace be upon him) with only a mother? After the
marvelous creation of Adam and Eve, which we so calmly accept, have we become so
stupid that we cannot accept the spectacular creation of Jesus without
placing God in one of the most derogatory human categories? Did He have
to “father” a child out of wedlock
and have him sacrificed to appease His anger over a minor incident that took
place thousands of years before its birth? Examining that claim would cause one
to wonder what kind of vengeful being
would hold a grudge for thousands of years and only accept a payment of innocent blood for its resolution. We know that God is a Forgiving and Merciful
Creator, so where did that claim originate?
Was Jesus A Sacrificial Lamb?
Today’s Christian
sects, regardless of denomination, all accept as indisputable fact that
Jesus (peace be upon him) is the biological son of God and gave his
life on the cross as total expiation for the sins of humanity. This belief,
however, was not part of original Christian doctrine until it was politically
imposed at the Council of Nicaea, some 300 years
after Jesus’ departure from earth. It was never fully accepted then nor for
hundreds of years afterwards. It took persistent, ruthless and bloody
persecution of dissidents to enforce this dogma on believing Christians. Nowhere
in the recorded teachings of the life and work of Jesus (peace be upon him) is it
reported that he claimed to be the sacrificial lamb for humanity. Until the
Council of Nicaea created an “official” doctrine for
Christianity, at the behest of a heathen emperor, the various
Christian sects disputed claims of Jesus’
Divinity and sacrificial status taught primarily by the “Pauline” sects. Additionally,
all Christian zealots preaching this concept today should be aware that it is a
Roman perspective of Jesus (peace be upon him). The Bible, far from being The
Word of God, is realistically, a Roman-inspired, political compilation
of writings about Judeo-Christian beliefs about God in ancient times.
