IS JESUS THE PROPHET OF NAZARETH OF GALILEE”- Matthew 21:11; “… And they said unto him,
Concerning JESUS OF NAZARETH, WHICH WAS A PROPHET MIGHTY IN DEED AND WORD
BEFORE GOD...”- Luke 24:19;
and also says on another place- “But now ye seek to kill me, A MAN THAT HATH TOLD YOU THE
TRUTH, WHICH I HAVE HEARD OF GOD...” (John 8:40); and finally says- “… but go to my brethren,
and say unto them, I [JESUS] ASCEND UNTO MY FATHER, AND YOUR FATHER; AND TO MY GOD,
AND YOUR GOD” (John 20:17).
And, what does Jesus understood to be the Hebrew scriptures main message? Salvation by
faith in the person
of a coming Messiah? Not at all! He understood it to be a plain call to repentance, and to start sowing unto
our fellow human beings the same goodness we would wish to reap for ourselves. As is written:
«FROM THAT TIME JESUS BEGAN TO PREACH, AND TO SAY, “REPENT”… I tell you, “Nay: but,
EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH”»- Matthew 4:7 & Luke 13:3; and also says,
“THEREFORE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YE WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, DO YE
EVEN SO TO THEM: FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS”- Matthew 7:12.
And finally says elsewhere- “… BUT IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS… THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR
FALSE WITNESS, HONOUR THY FATHER
AND THY MOTHER: AND, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF”- Matthew 19:17-
19.
In other words, the gospel states that he is in darkness [without knowing who God really is], the man who
doesn’t love his fellow human beings [refusing to obey God’s commandments]; as is written:
“HE THAT SAITH HE IS IN THE LIGHT, AND HATETH HIS BROTHER, IS IN DARKNESS EVEN
UNTIL NOW… HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD; FOR GOD IS LOVE”- 1 John 2:9 &
4:8;
“… FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW. FOR THIS, THOU SHALT
NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALT NOT KILL, THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT
NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THOU SHALT NOT COVET; AND IF THERE BE ANY OTHER
COMMANDMENT, IT IS BRIEFLY COMPREHENDED IN THIS SAYING, NAMELY, THOU SHALT
LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore LOVE IS THE
FULFILLING OF THE LAW”- Romans 13:8-10;
And also says on another place: “HE THAT SAITH, ‘I KNOW HIM’, AND KEEPETH NOT HIS
COMMANDMENTS,
IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM”- 1 John 2:4; And finally says,
“FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: AND HIS
COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS”- 1 John 5:3.
Curiously, in this regard the gospel tends to agree with the Hebrew scripture, when it hints at the idea that
love is greater than faith (“Now these three remain: FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE—BUT THE GREATEST
OF THESE IS LOVE”- 1 Corinthians 13:13, Christian Standard Bible); and that therefore man’s “salvation”
isn’t by faith, but rather by acts of love and kindness (toward God and toward our fellow human beings). As
is written:
«Many will say to me in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have
cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works [thereby showing proof of our faith in you]?”.
And then will I profess unto them, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity”»-
Matthew
7:22-23;
“BE YE THEREFORE MERCIFUL, AS YOUR FATHER ALSO IS MERCIFUL. JUDGE NOT, AND YE
669
SHALL NOT BE JUDGED: CONDEMN NOT, AND YE SHALL NOT BE CONDEMNED: FORGIVE,
AND YE SHALL BE FORGIVEN: GIVE, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU… For with the same
measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again”- Luke 6:36-38
In short, regardless of Jesus alleged Divinity, God’s message to mankind is that if man repents from his sins
and departs from evil [sowing the good that pleases the Creator and blesses his fellow human beings, as
outlined by God’s ten commandments], then it makes little difference whether that man follows Islam,
Christianity, Judaism, or Samaritanism, as he has thereby earned a share in everlasting life.
As is written: “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE HEART, O GOD,
THOU WILT NOT DESPISE [DENYING IT FORGIVENESS]”- Psalm 51:17; “IF MY PEOPLE, which are
called by my name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and TURN FROM THEIR
WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN, and will heal
their land”- 2 Chronicles 7:14;
“He hath shewed thee, O man, WHAT IS GOOD; AND WHAT DOTH THE LORD REQUIRE OF THEE,
BUT TO DO JUSTLY, AND TO LOVE MERCY, AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD?”- Micah
6:8; “…
FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS [TEN] COMMANDMENTS: FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY
OF MAN”- Ecclesiastes 12:13; “DEPART FROM EVIL, AND DO GOOD; AND DWELL FOR
EVERMORE [IN LIFE EVERLASTING]”- Psalm 37:27.
May God’s peace and blessings be upon all who fear and glorify Him, regardless of their race or creed.
