The God That never Was
By Ahmad Deedat
Islam is the only religion which teaches the existence of a PERFECT God. A perfect God means that
there is no sharer in His Nature and His Attributes:
“Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
and there is none like unto Him.” (Holy Qur’an, 112:1-4). There has appeared a man in Benoni. He is not qualified in theology, but is fondly cherishing the self-delusion that he is an apostle of Christ, appointed by God to convert Muslims to Christianity. Because he is a lawyer by profession, he is adept at juggling with words and quoting the Holy Qur’an totally out of context without knowing a word of Arabic. He wants Muslims to believe that Jesus was also a God, a belief that is abhorrent to us, because it is an antithesis of the Absolute perfection of Allah Thus intent upon reversing the process of Truth, which is: “And say: The Truth has come and falsehood vanished. Surely falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (Qur’an, 17:81). In this he will never succeed because the process of Truth is irreversible.
TWO REASONS
He has given two reasons to prove that Jesus is God, viz: (i) “When we say Jesus is deity (or even God
for that matter), we do not make him the Father! He is one with the Father and therefore HE SHARES
HIS NATURE”, and (ii) “HE IS IN EVERY WAY LIKE THE FATHER but he is not the Father”.
In short, according to him, Jesus is God because He SHARES THE NATURE OF GOD, and HE IS IN
EVERY WAY LIKE GOD. These two reasons given by him to prove the divinity of Jesus are so puerile
that they speak volumes of his legal training.
Numerous quotations from the Bible are given below to prove that Jesus neither SHARED THE NATURE
OF GOD, nor is he IN EVERY WAY LIKE GOD. He can, therefore, NEVER be GOD. We have given the
quotations from the Bible without comment, because the Bible speaks for itself! TO SAY THAT JESUS
IS GOD OR SON OF GOD IS NOT ONLY A MOCKERY OF GODHOOD, BUT BLASPHEMY OF THE LOWEST
ORDER AND AND INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF MEN! (Note: Unless otherwise stated, all
quotations from the Bible are given from the Authorized Version. In our headings and subheadings we
have referred to Jesus as “God” in inverted commas in order to show the ABSURDITY of the claim of
this man that Jesus is God!)

“God” was created from the seed of David: “Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made
of the SEED of David according to the flesh.” (Romans, 1:3)
“God” was the fruit of the loins of David: “Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn

normal stages of pregnancy. Nor was her delivery any different from other expectant mothers: “And
she being with child cried, travelling in birth, and pained to be delivered.” (Revelation, 12:2)
“God” Sucked the Paps of a Woman: “And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman
of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the

therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”
(Matthew, 22:21) He paid his tax regularly. (Matthew, 17:24-27).
THE FAMILY OF “GOD”

in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, whence hath this man this wisdom,
and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? and his
brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence

baptized by John the Baptist” (Matthew, 3:13), “which signified the confession of sins” (Matthew, 3:6),
“and repentance from sins (Matthew, 3:11).
“God” Did Not Come to Save the Sinners: “And when he was alone, they that were about him with the
twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, unto you it is given to know the mystery of
the kingdom of God: but unto them that without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing
they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they
should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” (Mark, 4:10-12)
THE RACIAL “GOD”
“God” Was a Tribal Jew: “The lion of the tribe of Juda.” (Revelation, 5:5)

the house of Israel.” (Matthew, 15:24)

up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers
of money sitting: and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the
temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables.”

because the Jews sought to kill him.” (John, 7:1)

weapons.” (John, 18:2-3)

buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands.” (Matthew, 26:67)

EPILOGUE
According to this self-appointed apostle of Christ, Jesus is God because: (i) “HE SHARED THE NATURE
OF GOD”, and (ii) because “IN EVERY WAY HE IS LIKE GOD”. But according to the quotations of the
Bible given above, we find that Jesus did neither SHARE THE NATURE OF GOD nor is he IN EVERY
WAY LIKE GOD. He is, therefore, definitely NOT God! The onus to prove that Jesus is God now rests
with this Christian. Either he must prove that Jesus is God, or he must admit that he is a polytheist,
i.e., a believer in more than one God. WITH ALL THE TRICKS AND VERBAL LEGERDEMAIN OF HIS
PROFESSION, HE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT JESUS IS GOD!!
He and his fellow-preachers in Christ, will never succeed in convincing the Muslims that Jesus was
anything other than a natural man and a prophet of God, sent unto the house of Israel to bear the
good news of the coming of the KINGDOM OF GOD, which prophecy was fulfilled with the advent of
the Holy Prophet Mohammed!
