CHRISTIANITY. Given the fact that there has never been in the history of the Torah (Old Testament) for the religion of God to be named after a Prophet(i.e:, Adamanity, Abrahamity, Mosanity,etc.),I hope to explain that Jesus did not preach the religion of Christianity, but a religion that gives all Praise and Worship to The One God, One of the questions I asked my self as I took an objective (second) look at Christianity was where did. the word Christianity come from and was the word ever mentioned by Jesus? Well, I did not find the word Christianity in the Bible, not even in a Bible dictionary. Specifically, I did not find in the Bible where Jesus called him self a Christian. The word Christian was first mentioned by a pagan to describe those who followed Jesus.It is mentioned one of three times in the New Testament by a pagan and Jews in Antioch about 43A.D.,(Acts11:26,Acts26:28 and 1Peter 4:16) long after Jesus had left this earth. To accept the words of pagans as having any value or association with divinity,Jesus or God is contrary to the teaching of all prophets. Jesus prophesied that people will worship him uselessly and believe in doctrines made by men (Matthew15:9): But in vain they do worship me,teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. This verse, Matthew15:9, is further supported by these words of the Quran,5:116-117: And behold! Allah will say: O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say unto men, Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?He(Jesus) will say: Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right. Had I said such a thing Thou wouldst in deed have known it.Thou knowst what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. Never said I to aught except what Thou didst command me to say,to wit, Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord :And I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt a mongst them; when Thou didst take me upThou wast the Watcher over them,and Thou art a witness to all things. I found that Biblical verses like John 5:30, John 12:49, John 14:28, Isaiah 42:8 and Acts2:22 support the above-mentioned verses of the Quran. Before leaving the subject of Christianity,which will be discussed throughout this book,I should mention one small,but significant,point of observation. If Christians are Christ-like, why are they not greeting each other with the words; Peace Be With You (Salamu Alaikum), as Jesus did in Luke 24:36. As you may be aware, the greeting from one Muslim to another Muslim is Assalamu Alaikum; a Christ-like saying.
