What does "Jesus is the heir" really mean? Does it mean he is the heir of GOD Almighty, or is this just another trinitarian lie?
The sections of this article are:
1- Does the Bible really say Jesus is the heir of
GOD Almighty?
2- The author Hebrews wasn't even known!
3- Conclusion.
As brother Sami Zaatari literally smoked Sam Shamoun on almost every single point that the latter raised to him during their debate on "Is Jesus GOD and is Trinity a valid belief?", and as the extremely foul-mouthed barking missionary lost his temper in the end and started throwing excessive foul insults at brother Sami, me personally and Islam, and as brother Sami Zaatari kept his good manners and cool, and even thanked Shamoun instead, it became quite apparent and obvious that the foul-mouthed missionary (see ample other documents on his foul mouth in TEXT and AUDIO) miserably lost the debate, because that is all that he could hurl at the Truth in the end; just foul and cheap insults which actually in return made it worse on him.
Anyway, the reason why I said "almost every single point" is because there is one point that our beloved brother Sami didn't fully address that the missionary raised at him, which is "Jesus being the heir." The missionary's point was that since Jesus was the "heir" of GOD Almighty, then this makes him and/or puts him on the same level of authority, deity, divinity and holiness as GOD Almighty Himself. Very good point! Let us now see if this claim is really true in the Bible or if this was no more than another trinitarian lie that the desperate polytheist trinitarian pagans and infidels have invented.
1- Does the Bible really say Jesus is the heir of GOD Almighty?
Let us look at the following verses from the Bible:
Genesis 15:4
Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir,
but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."
2 Samuel 14:7
Now the whole clan has risen up against your
servant; they say, 'Hand over the one who struck his brother down, so that we
may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed; then we
will get rid of the heir as well.' They would put out the only burning
coal I have left, leaving my husband neither name nor descendant on the face of
the earth."
Jeremiah 49:1
[ A Message About Ammon ] Concerning the Ammonites:
This is what the LORD says: "Has Israel no sons? Has she no heirs?
Why then has Molech taken possession of Gad? Why do his people live in its
towns?
So according to the Old Testament, the
heir must be one from a blood relationship such as a son, brother,
daughter, etc... Very good. Let us now look at the New Testament:
Matthew 21:38
"But when the tenants saw the son, they said to
each other, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him
and take his
inheritance.'
Mark 12:7
"But the tenants said to one another, 'This is the
heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance
will be ours.'
Luke 20:14
"But when the tenants saw him, they talked the
matter over. 'This is the heir,' they said. 'Let's kill him, and the
inheritance will be ours.'
Acts 3:25
And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made
with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on
earth will be blessed.'
| Romans 4:13 It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. Romans 4:14 Romans 8:17 |
Galatians 3:29
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's
seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 4:7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has
made you also an heir.
Ephesians 3:6
This mystery is that through the gospel the
Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body,
and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 1:2
(this was Shamoun's verse in the debate)
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed
heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear
built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and
became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
Hebrews 11:9
By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign
country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with
him of the same promise.
Here as anyone with the least amount of brain can clearly see, Jesus, the heir,
wasn't the heir of GOD Almighty's Possessions, entire Universe, and everything
that GOD Almighty Created. He rather was only a mere heir of the rulership
of his followers and the land of Israel,
and perhaps the planet earth.
This is further supported in this OT verse:
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, the LORD our Righteousness. (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 23:5-6)" |
Please visit: Answering Jeremiah 23:5-6: A big blow to Sam Shamoun's trinity nonsense existing in the Old Testament to see how others also were given this title in the Bible.
Otherwise, how can those who wanted to kill Jesus dare to say that his inheritance will be theirs!? How could they possibly forcibly inherit all that belongs to GOD Almighty in the entire Universe?
Only a blasphemous fool would claim that they meant to inherit all of what belongs to GOD Almighty!
And as to the Hebrews 1:2 verse that Shamoun used during the debate, not only it is too ridiculously vague and is actually thoroughly refuted by the Matthew 21:38, Mark 12:7 and Luke 20:14 verses above where some Jews wanted to kill Jesus so that they can take his inheritance, which proves that we're not talking about Jesus inheriting all of what belongs to GOD Almighty here, but it also shows how desperate and ridiculous the trinity and the trinitarians are, because there is nothing about any of the AMPLE VERSES ABOVE that even remotely suggests that Jesus has the same authority as GOD Almighty! On the contrary, Jesus had no divine Will and he himself clearly declared it many times throughout the NT as brother Sami Zaatari thoroughly demonstrated in the debate. You can also read the following articles:

Jesus had no Divine Will according to the New Testament. How could he be our Creator?
2- The author Hebrews wasn't even known!
From http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm:
The Book of Hebrews:
"The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"
So because the guy was supposedly "well known (which we don't really know that for sure anyway)", then would that give us the right to consider his words as the Words of GOD Almighty?! I am sorry, but I don't really see the logic behind this! The Book of Hebrews is one of the highly used Books among Christians. I hear references from it a lot when listening to Christians preaching. Yet, no one really knows who wrote it!. This is quite ironic, because Christians use such highly doubtful books in their teachings as if they were the True Living Words of GOD Almighty. I don't care what you call this, but I call it blasphemy, because it is the most ridiculous insult to GOD Almighty and His Holy Words that I have ever seen.
The Roman Catholic Encyclopedia admits that the Bible had been "altered":
From brother Amir AbdulRahim; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:
The subject of Mankind's Corruption of the Bible has interested me greatly, and I have taken a closer look at this subject. Its seems it's not only your site that brings this subject up, but a couple of Christian sites too.
For example, an article in the Catholic Encyclopedia that you mentioned in regard to
the 'Theophilus' mentioned in Luke's Gospel (from your Just Who Are The Real Authors Of
The Bible? article) testifies to this fact (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14530a.htm):
"IV. TRANSMISSION OF THE TEXT
No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author-- all have been in some way altered. The material conditions under which a book was spread before the invention of printing (1440), the little care of the copyists, correctors, and glossators for the text, so different from the desire of accuracy exhibited to-day, explain sufficiently the divergences we find between various manuscripts of the same work. To these causes may be added, in regard to the Scriptures, exegetical difficulties and dogmatical controversies. To exempt the sacred writings from ordinary conditions a very special providence would have been necessary, and it has not been the will of God to exercise this providence."
Lets just go through that again - "No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author--all have been in some way altered." All have been in some way altered! In view of this blatant admission, how can anyone expect me, or any muslim, to follow an impure book?
When you compare this to the great lengths taken to preserve the original Qur'an, there's no contest!
Further from brother Vipor Poison; may Allah Almighty always
be pleased with him:
Luke 1:3
Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it
seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
The following is from the Catholic Encyclopedia:
http://newadvent.org/cathen/14625b.htm
http://newadvent.org/cathen/14625a.htm
If Theophilus existed in either the 2nd or the 4th centuries then how could the writer of this gospel be the same Luke who is supposed to be with Jesus in the 1st century.
Did he live for 200 years?

months before thine enemies, while they pursue. thee?

Also, your original scriptures are all doubtful according to the Bible's own theologians and historians. It's quite hilarious that even the Bible itself admits that it has been tampered with and corrupted by man's garbage:
"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'?
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
(From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
And regarding who wrote the books and gospels of the Bible, as I quoted above, here is a sample of what the NIV Bible's theologians and historians wrote:
"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost. (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"
"Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)"
"The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"
"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)"
"It seems safe to conclude that the book, at least in its early form, dates from the beginning of the monarchy. Some think that Samuel may have had a hand in shaping or compiling the materials of the book, but in fact we are unsure who the final author or editor was. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 286)"
"Although, according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually uncertain. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The date of the composition is also unknown, but it was undoubtedly during the monarchy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The author is unknown. Jewish tradition points to Samuel, but it is unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David (4:17,22) implies a later date. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 360)"
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368)"
"There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"Whoever the author was, it is clear that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"According to ancient Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but this cannot be established with certainty. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)"
"Although we do not know who wrote the book of Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about the author and the date of composition. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 707)"
"The unknown author probably had access to oral and/or written sources....(From the NIV Bible commentary, page 722)"
"Regarding authorship, opinions are even more divided....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 773)"
etc...

It is quite obvious that Christians today believe in third party authors' words as the words of GOD. This is a very serious corruption in the Bible that must be taken into deep consideration by the Bible's followers.

101 Contradictions in the Bible!
3- Conclusion:
Sam Shamoun had been miserably defeated in the debate. His trinity is no more than one of history's biggest lies that he was fooled into believing. His interpretation of the Jesus being the "heir" was proven to be quite absurd and that it only demonstrated his ignorance about the real meaning of the word throughout the New Testament. Trinity is a lie and its polytheist trinitarian pagan and infidel-followers are no more than deceived fools who are destined to be doomed in Hell!
Also, the lies of crucifixion and resurrection were never even prophesied in the Old Testament. On the contrary, the OT prophesied Islam's claims and that is Jesus, the Messiah, will be saved from the crucifixion!
Islam is the only Truth! Islam is not a religion of confusion and man's lies and alterations. Islam is Allah Almighty's Divine Truth that has proven Itself to be the Divine Truth from the Almighty Creator. Please visit: The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Noble Quran section to see Allah Almighty's ample Divine Signatures in the Noble Quran.
Therefore, embrace Islam and you will be saved. Otherwise, you'll only have yourself to blame like this foul-mouthed missionary fool, Shamoun, and his infidel goons.

"Son of GOD" conflict between the Bible and the Noble Quran. How is Allah Almighty telling the Jews and Christians to follow their Books when these Books had been corrupted? Books mentioned in the Bible that are not part of the "Today's Bible" More on "Who were the real authors of the Bible?" This is a great article that exposes the man made narration/corruption in the Bible. We read in the Books of Moses about Moses' own burial. Did Moses himself write it when he was already dead? If not then who did? And how can we prove that the person was appointed by GOD Almighty to write it as a Divine Revelation (since it now exists in the Bible)? And what makes us be so sure that it is indeed a Divine Revelation? Man's history of corrupting the Old Testament. Was Jesus crucified on a tree (according to Peter), cross (according to others), or never got crucified (according to Islam)? None of Jesus' disciples witnessed the crucifixion. They "all fled" and "deserted" Jesus. This further confirms Islam's claims.
