Dan Brown&#8217;s book claims Jesus in not divine or God, and the gospels as we know them, have been changed, and after Jesus\u2019 stay here on earth, men raised his status to the level of God. Could any of this be true?<\/p>\n<p>Ancient secrets of the Church, hidden for centuries have actually been revealed and published in books prior to the fictional writings of Brown in the \u201cDa Vinci Code\u201d. Baigent and Leigh have produced other books from researcher\u2019s point of view over the last two decades, including \u201cDead Sea Scrolls Deception\u201d, \u201cHoly Blood, Holy Grail\u201d, and \u201cMessianic Legacy.\u201d These books were the talk of the religious communities when they came out in the early 90&#8217;s, and certainly they have fueled an ongoing interest into just exactly who was this man Jesus, what was his message and what happened to him?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Islam claims to \u201cbreak the code\u201d so to speak, over 1,400 years ago. The answer, according to Muslim scholars has been in the Quran for over fourteen hundred <strong>years<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Some may be surprised to learn, Muslims believe in the miracle birth and other miracles associated with Jesus. They actually consider him as the \u201cMessiah\u201d and they even say, \u201cpeace be upon him\u201d when mentioning his name. However, they are quick to negate any connection between God and Jesus as a partnership or God-head, and they rule out the notion of God having any son (or daughter for that matter).<br \/>\nHere is how Muslim scholars present their understanding and \u201cbreak the code\u201d:<br \/>\nHow Muslim scholars \u201cbroke the code\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Creation itself tells us there is a creator and from the beginning of time \u2013 Allah, (the One God in Arabic) alone is to be worshiped. This is clear teaching throughout the Old Testament (Torah), the scriptures that Jesus himself affirmed as a revelation of God. God is one not one of three; for example: \u2018He is God; there is no other besides Him\u2019. (Deuteronomy 4:35). The same is mentioned in the book of Mark in the New Testament, chapter 12, verse 29, when Jesus, peace be upon him, had been asked about the Greatest Commandment he replied,<br \/>\n\u201cTo know, O Israel, the Lord your God is One Lord; and you have to love Him with all your heart and all your mind and all your strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the oldest and most authentic copies of manuscripts and scrolls available throughout the centuries, Jesus, peace be upon him, never claimed to be God, or the creator, or the One to pray to, nor did he tell his followers to revere him as God. These notions appear on the lips of others who came along decades and even centuries later.<\/p>\n<p>While Jesus was on earth he did not claim to be the creator or ask us to revere him as God. His miraculous birth is a sign of his prophethood:<br \/>\n\u201cVerily, the likeness of Jesus before God, is the likeness of Adam. He (God) created him from dust and said \u201cBe!\u201d and he was.\u201d (Quran 3:59)<\/p>\n<p>Like all the great and noble prophets of God such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, Isaac and David, Jesus came with one message: Worship, love, obey and submit to the one true God, the creator of everything and do not worship anything besides Him.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout history, people have taken to worship things or people alongside God, or just worshiping something else like power, status or money. Even the names of religions seem have more to do with the creation and less or nothing to do with the Creator. For example: Buddhism \u2013 Buddha (the name of a man), Confucianism \u2013 Confucius (the name of a man), Hinduism \u2013 Hind (the name of an area), Judaism \u2013 Judah (the name of a tribe) and Christianity \u2013 Christ (the name of a great prophet).<\/p>\n<p>Islam is different. Islam is a word derived from the verb aslama, and it carries the meaning of \u201csurrender\u201d, \u201csubmission\u201d, \u201cobedience\u201d, \u201csincerity\u201d and \u201cpeace\u201d between one and Almighty God and not to any human or anything within creation. Anyone who practices Islam submits to and worships Allah, alone without any partners of any kind.<\/p>\n<p>The Quran states:<br \/>\n\u201cThere is only One God then have reverence for Me and fear Me (and Me alone). To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth, and to Him is duty due always: then will ye fear other than God?\u201d (Quran 16:51-52)<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it time you join Jesus, the son of Mary, along with all of the other Prophets of God and practice the \u201cSubmission to the Will of God\u201d (Islam)?<\/p>\n<p>Or simply put: \u201cWorship the Creator &#8211; and not His Creations!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.islamland.com\/eng\/articles\/da-vinci-code-broken<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Da Vinci Code controversy \u2013 It\u2019s everywhere!
