arpgme,
You have raised a good topic and very timely if I may so. If we are truly living in the end times, which all scriptures points to, it's about time
for mankind to be searching for the TRUTH.
You are already on the path of truth if you believe that THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.
" And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. " John 17:3
Jesus declares that Eternal Life is knowing that THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ is his messenger (that He has sent).
Jesus is NOT a false messiah. He is the Messiah sent to the Children Of Israel. He did not claim to be GOD or Son of God, but he claimed to be a
servant of God, as did the Prophets before him and the last after him.
The reason why people have problems understanding the Bible is because of the contamination of Jesus' Gospel or the New Testament, this contradiction
is due to the manipulation of the sacred texts and prophecies to fit Jesus. This, I reiterate is not Jesus' doing but of the Scribes and Priests who
did not fear the living God. This contamination had a great repercussion, it made void the true prophecies of the previous prophets before Jesus,
because it was replaced by false prophecies of Scribes and doctors and priests who have rejected Jesus.
Jesus himself has foretold this contamination of his Gospel, but towards the end the truth of his Gospel came out, written by his disciple Barnabas,
this original teachings of Jesus deserved to be given a fair hearing by Christians who are confused with the teachings of Jesus as written in the New
Testament and who are desirous to learn his True teachings.
The teachings of Jesus as told in this Gospel is supported and affirmed by The Holy Quran, the Final Testament of God to mankind. As a former
Christian, I exhort you to read the Gospel of Jesus written by Barnabas and the Holy Quran if you want to learn the true teachings of Jesus. Ask for
God's guidance as you read it, and open your heart and mind. As Jesus told his disciples, they must become a new man if they are to contain the new
doctrine, for new wines are not poured into old bottles lest they break. The same thing I ask while you read the Gospel of Jesus and the Holy
Quran.
God willing, you will find these verses in the Holy Quran fulfilled in you, as it was to me and to all Jews, Christians and Sabians who were blessed
to read God's Last Testament and recognized it as the True Words of God which will be God's witness until the Day of Judgment.
5:83 When they listen to that which hath been revealed unto the messenger, thou seest their eyes overflow with tears because of their recognition of
the Truth. They say: Our Lord, we believe. Inscribe us as among the witnesses.
5:84 How should we not believe in Allah and that which hath come unto us of the Truth. And (how should we not) hope that our Lord will bring us in
along with righteous folk?
19:58 These are they unto whom Allah showed favor from among the Prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah,
and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them,
they fell down, adoring and weeping.
17:107 Say: Believe therein or believe not, lo! those who were given knowledge before it, when it is read unto them, fall down prostrate on their
faces, adoring.
46:10 Bethink you: If it is from Allah and ye disbelieve therein, and a witness of the children of Israel hath already testified to the like thereof
and hath believed, and ye are too proud (what plight is yours)? Lo! Allah, guideth not wrongdoing folk.
3:18 Allah (Himself) is witness that there is no God save Him. And the angels and the men of learning (too are witness). Maintaining His creation in
justice, there is no God save Him, the Almighty, the Wise.
The true teachings of Jesus according to the Holy Quran:
5:72 They surely disbelieve who say : Lo! Allah is the messiah, son of Mary. The messiah (himself) said : O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord
and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden Paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evildoers there will be no
helpers.
5:118 If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Mighty, the
Wise.
5:116 And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be
glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I
know not what is in Thy mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden.
5:117 I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying) : Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt
among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things. -
5:75 The messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) had passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly
woman. And they both used to eat (earthly) food. See how we make the revelations clear for them, and see how they are turned away!
9:30 And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They
imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!
9:31 They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God.
There is no god save Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!
5:82 Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews and the idolaters. And thou wilt find the nearest
of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians. That is because there are among them priests and monks, and
because they are not proud.
5:105 O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls. He who erreth cannot injure you if ye are rightly guided. Unto Allah ye will all return; and
then He will inform you of what ye used to do.
