An Innocent And Beloved Son Under The Curse Of His Merciful Father by Abdulgaffar22: 3:43am On Oct 07, 2016
Christians believe that omnipotent God of love and mercy must curse and
condemn His only beloved and innocent son on the cross of Calvary before
they can secure eternal life: yet condemnation of righteous and innocent
person is strictly forbidden in the Bible ( Matthew
12:7,proverb17:15,exodus23:7,psalm34:22). The doctrine of an only beloved
and innocent son who was under the curse (Galatians 3:13) and condemnation
of His own merciful Father is self-contradictory and repugnant to human
mind. Before the advent of Christianity, nobody would believe that such a
doctrine can even exist. It is totally foreign to our logical reasoning for
God of love, mercy and justice to curse and condemn an innocent person, let
alone His beloved and innocent Messiah, for any reason whatsoever. This is
the reason why the message of atonement through Christ crucifixion was a
stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the gentiles during the
lifetime of Jesus’ apostles (1st Corinthians 1:23). But Paul, being very
cunning, quickly fabricated some verses to solve this problem of logical
contradiction inherent in this very doctrine. One of these verses is as
follows: “For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the
weakness of God is stronger than human strength (1 Corinthians 1:25)”. He
also wrote: “The natural man does not receive the things of the spirit, for
they are foolishness to him; he cannot understand them because they are
spiritually discerned (1st Corinthians 2:14)” This is the reason why many
Christians see no logical problem again with the idea of “an innocent and
beloved son who was under the curse and condemnation of his own merciful
Father”. But why would God of reason and rationality(Isaiah 1:18 KJV ) ask
a natural man to believe in a true spiritual doctrine that is completely
foolish to his logical reasoning especially when that reasoning is the ONLY
instrument at his disposal to recognize that true spirituality in the midst
of many fake spiritualities ? If there is only one spirituality in the
entire world of human being, then Paul may be right in his claim. But there
are many spiritualities like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism,
Judaism Confucianism, Taoism, Sikhism etc. Since each of these
spiritualities is claiming to be on the right path, it is now left for any
natural man to use the only instrument (his logical reasoning) bestowed
upon him from God to recognize the true spirituality in the midst of many
fake spiritualities. This is the reason why God must design a true
spirituality in such a way that all of its fundamental doctrine does not
contradict the logical reasoning He bestowed upon any natural man.How could
true spirituality designed by God and human logical reasoning originated
from the same God be in conflict with each other? Have you now agreed that
Paul is wrong by asserting that true spirituality from God is like
foolishness to any natural man? To see further that Paul is wrong in his
claim; suppose you are invited by a friend to accept a faith that is very
rich in spirituality. But among the fundamental doctrine you must embrace
without question is that you have to believe that God can sometimes commit
an act of lying if a greater purpose calls for it (May He be Exalted). 1.
Would you just accept such faith because of its spiritual richness or
reject it because of its foolishness to your logical reasoning? 2. Would
you not ask about the actual connection that exist between that “greater
purpose" and "the act of lying" that must be committed by God before the
purpose can be achieved? 3. Would you not ask why All-knowing and
Omnipotent God decided to give preference for such irrational way of lying
to achieve a greater purpose over many rational ways He can design and
create from His infinite knowledge and His unlimited power to achieve that
greater purpose? 4. Would you just accept that the way of such a lying God
is higher and complex than your own way of doing things? Now, ponder over
these four questions cited above and then tell me the difference between
this imaginary faith which proclaim that God can sometimes commit an act of
lying to achieve a particular greater purpose and the Christian faith which
also proclaim that God can sometimes curse and condemn an innocent and
righteous soul in order to achieve a particular greater purpose- like
solving the problem of sin with humanity. The four questions asked above
are also applicable to this Christian doctrine because the two faiths
involve creating negative and bad impression about God in the minds of the
people. It is now clear that even if there are some spiritual benefits in
the inner rooms of a true faith, there is still need for the logical
reasoning to take us to the main door of those inner rooms at first
encounter. But as we have pointed above, the doctrine of ‘a merciful,
omnipotent and All- knowing God who cursed and condemned his only beloved
and innocent son on the cross of Calvary for a certain greater purpose’ is
totally foreign and contradictory to our logical reasoning; yet this is one
of the fundamental doctrine you must embrace wholeheartedly for you to
become a serious and devoted Christian. Therefore, there is need for God to
send another prophet to remove this negative and bad picture of God from
the minds of the general humanity. This is one of the many reasons why Holy
Quran was revealed to prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the Holy Quran, God
removed this bad impression from the minds of the people by declaring that,
in a miraculous way, Jesus escaped death on the cross (Quran 4:157-158). This
is exactly in line with the prayer of Jesus to God in the garden of
Gethsemane when he asked for the cup of suffering and death to be taken
away from him in three consecutive times as stated clearly in Matthew
26:36-44.
