"supposed" father according to Luke 3:23 (AV). This one name is glaring. You need
no fine-tooth comb to catch him. It is Joseph the carpenter.
From among the clear contradictions in the Bible:
The word Begotten. In [John 3:16] which is then not present in the 1981 copy.
The Muslim takes strong exception to the Christian dogma that "Jesus is the only
begotten son, begotten not made". This is what the Christian is made to repeat from
childhood in his catechism. I have asked learned Christians, again and again as to
what they are really trying to emphasize, when they say: "Begotten not made".
Can't you see that in the language of the Jew, every righteous person, every Tom,
Dick and Harry who followed the Will and Plan of God, was a "Son of God". It was a
metaphorical descriptive term commonly used among the Jews. The Christian
agrees with this reasoning, but goes on to say: "but Jesus was not like that". Adam
was made by God. Every living thing was made by God, He is the Lord, Cherisher and
Sustainer of all. Metaphorically speaking therefore God is the Father of all. But Jesus
was the "begotten" Son of God, not a created Son of God?
Although this pernicious word "begotten" has now unceremoniously been thrown
out of the "Most Accurate" version of the Bible, the Revised Standard Version
(R.S.V.), its ghost still lingers on in the Christian mind, both black and white.
Through its insidious brainwashing the white man is made to feel superior to his
black Christian brother of the same Church and Denomination. And in turn, the
black man is given a permanent inferiority complex through this dogma.
The question that should be asked here is can the words of God be altered, with
additions and omissions?
How can one consider this to be the work of God?
It is incomprehensible therefore to consider the Bible the word of God as has been
shown.
