In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful
Foreword by
Dr. Abd Ar-Rahman Al-Sheha
Since the dawn of creation, human
beings have existed to worship Allah,
who created them from a single soul,
Adam, and from him, He created his
mate, Eve. From them, He spread
many men and women across the
earth. However, they would not be
able to worship Him in the proper
manner except through His
messengers, whom He sends to
guide people to the correct way of
worshiping Him.
All of these messengers, from Adam (peace and blessings be
upon him) to the final messenger, Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him), were human beings with the same
core belief: calling people to worship Allah alone without
associating any partners with Him. This belief serves as the
distinguishing factor between a believer and a disbeliever.
The previous divine scriptures were subjected to alteration
and distortion because Allah did not guarantee their
preservation, as they were revealed for specific nations at
specific times. The Torah, which was revealed to Moses
(peace and blessings be upon him) for the Children of Israel,
was later corrupted due to various influences that led them
2
astray from the teachings of Moses [See 2 Kings
22:8, where it is claimed that the Torah was found
after being lost for centuries]. So Allah, Glorified
and Exalted be He, sent Jesus (peace and blessings
be upon him) and revealed the Injeel to him to
complete the law of Moses, to rectify what people
had corrupted, and to bring them back to the right
path.
However, people exaggerated in their reverence for Jesus
(peace be upon him), elevating him to the status of a god or
the son of God, due to the miraculous nature of his birth,
being born of a mother without a father-, and his ability to
speak in infancy. Yet, Adam (peace be upon him) was created
without a father or a mother, and he was never considered a
god or the son of God. It was simply the command of Allah,
who, whenever He wills something, says to it, "Be," and it is:
{Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that
of Adam. He created him from dust, then He said to him, ‘Be,’
and he was.} (Aal-Imran 3:59)
Likewise, the miracles that Allah performed through Jesus,
such as raising the dead, healing the sick, creating birds from
clay, foretelling hidden matters, and bringing down a table
from the heavens, were all carried out by Allah’s permission
and will -not by the independent power of Jesus himself-.
These miracles were meant to affirm his mission and validate
his message.
Such miracles were not exclusive to Jesus (peace be upon
him). Other prophets before him were also granted
extraordinary miracles.
3
By the permission of Allah, Ezekiel raised a vast army of the
dead (Ezekiel 37:1-9). Likewise, Elijah revived a dead boy (1
Kings 17:21), and another prophet, Elisha, also raised the
dead (2 Kings 4:32) and miraculously fed a hundred men with
just twenty loaves of barley bread (2 Kings 4:42). Even after
his death, Elisha’s body brought a dead man back to life by
the permission of Allah (2 Kings 13:20). Abraham (peace be
upon him) was thrown into fire, yet it did not burn him, and
through him, Allah brought the dead back to life [Quran
2:260]. David (peace be upon him) was granted the ability to
soften iron and shape it as he wished, and Allah made the
mountains and birds glorify Him alongside David. Solomon
(peace be upon him) was given control over jinn and devils,
the ability to speak with birds and animals, and command
over the winds.
In contrast, the message of Islam was
divinely preserved, without any
distortion or alteration, because
Allah promised to protect it as a
universal message for all of humanity
until the end of time. Islam upholds
the true belief that is in harmony
with reason and logic. It has placed
Jesus (peace be upon him) in his
rightful status as a noble prophet of
Allah. The Islamic creed concerning
Allah is clearly stated in the Quran:
{Say, He is Allah, the One. (1) Allah, the Self-Sufficient (and
the Eternal Refuge). (2) He neither begets nor is He begotten.
(3) And there is none comparable to Him. (4)} (Al-Ikhlas 112:1
4)
4
This belief affirms that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a
human being and a messenger:
{The Messiah (Jesus), the son of Mary, was nothing more
than a Messenger; many Messengers had passed before him.
His mother, Mary, was a truthful woman who had unwavering
faith. Both of them ate food (i.e., they were humans and not
gods, while Allah does not eat). See how We make Our verses
(and signs) clear to them; yet, look at how they turn away
(from the truth)!} (Al-Ma'idah 5:75)
{(Mention, O Muhammad) when Allah will say (on the Day of
Judgment): 'O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favor upon
you and upon your mother: how I supported you with the
holy spirit (the angel Gabriel) so that you spoke to the
people from the cradle (defending your mother against the
Jews who accused her of immorality) and later when you
became an adult (beginning your mission of calling them to
the religion of Allah); how I taught you writing, wisdom
(understanding of religion), the Torah, and the Injil (the
original Gospel of Jesus); how you fashioned from clay the
form of a bird, by My permission, and then you breathed into
it, and it became a bird, by My permission; how you healed
those born blind and the lepers, by My permission; how you
brought the dead back to life, by My permission; how I
restrained the Children of Israel from harming you (when
they planned to kill you) after you came to them with clear
proofs. Yet, the disbelievers among them said: ‘This is
nothing but clear magic.’} (Al-Ma'idah 5:110)
Jesus (peace be upon him) was a servant
of Allah whom Allah honored with
prophethood:
5
Islam also honors Mary (peace be upon her), considering her
one of the best women on earth:
{And (mention, O Muhammad) when the angels said: 'O Mary!
Indeed, Allah has chosen you (for your devotion in worship
and your noble character), purified you (from any bad traits),
and chosen you above all the women of the world (of your
time).'} (Aal-Imran 3:42)
She was pure and free from sin:
{And (Allah also presents as a good example for the
believers) Mary (the mother of Jesus), the daughter of
Imran, who guarded her chastity. So We commanded Our
angel (Gabriel) to breathe into a slit in her garment, (and
thus she conceived Jesus). She believed in the Words of her
Lord and His Books and was among the devoutly obedient.}
(At-Tahrim 66:12)
Islam also teaches that sin and accountability are individual
responsibilities:
{Whoever is guided, their guidance is only for their own
benefit, and whoever goes astray, their misguidance is only
against them. No (sinful) soul will bear the burden of
another. And We never punish until We have sent a
Messenger (to give warning first).} (Al-Isra 17:15)
Furthermore, Islam emphasizes that no matter how much a
person sins, they can always repent:
6
{Say (O Muhammad, that Allah says): 'O My servants (of
Allah) who have transgressed against themselves through
excessive sins! Do not despair of the mercy of Allah (thinking
that He will not forgive you), for indeed, Allah forgives all
sins (for those who turn to Him in repentance). Indeed, He is
Al-Ghafur (the All-Forgiving), Ar-Rahim (the Most Merciful).'}
(Az-Zumar 39:53)
Islam establishes a direct relationship between Allah and His
servants without the need for intermediaries:
{And when My servants ask you (O Muhammad) about Me,
indeed I am near. I respond to the supplication of the caller
when he calls upon Me (without any intermediary). So let
them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be rightly
guided.} (Al-Baqarah 2:186)
The goal of this book is to promote goodwill towards people
and encourage them to cooperate in righteousness and piety.
It also aims to serve as a means of saving many who have
gone astray by adopting a false belief that is neither
supported by sound logic nor reason. Such a belief leads to
undesirable consequences, for indeed, Allah does not forgive
associating partners with Him, but He forgives anything less
than that for whomever He wills.
7
The author has excellently conveyed the truth that is hidden
from many adherents of Christianity in an engaging style,
relying on rational evidence, logical arguments, and textual
proofs from the Bible to demonstrate the human nature of
Jesus (peace be upon him).
I believe that any enlightened person, free from religious
fanaticism and political biases, upon reading this book, will
recognize the falsehood of considering Jesus (peace be upon
him) as a god or the son of God. They will come to realize the
true nature of Jesus as a human being, a servant of Allah, and
a prophet sent to convey Allah’s message.
My sincere prayers are that every reader of this book is
guided to know the truth, accept it, and call others to it.
And our final supplication is that all praise is due to Allah, the
Lord of all worlds.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful
Author’s Introduction
Praise be to Allah, who sent Muhammad as a bearer of glad
tidings and a warner, a caller to Allah by His permission and
an illuminating lamp, and who favored his companions and
granted them great merit. May Allah send abundant and
continuous peace and blessings upon Muhammad, his family,
and his companions.
A Message of Love for Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him):
The love of Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) is deeply
rooted in the heart of every Muslim and Christian. Each of
them is willing to sacrifice their life and wealth for him. If
Jesus were to appear today, all sincere Muslims and
Christians would follow him and stand behind him. In fact, if
Jesus were to appear now, he would follow the teachings of
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), as the
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "If Moses were alive, he would
have had no choice but to follow me." (Authenticated by Al
Albani).
Thus, we all wish to follow the true religion, creed, and
teachings of Jesus (ﷺ) so that we may be true and sincere
followers. However, those who lie about Jesus (ﷺ) are the
ones who attribute to him a religion, beliefs, and teachings
that he neither preached nor knew of.
I have studied the creed of Jesus (ﷺ), his teachings, and the
history of the Church, and I found a fundamental difference
between the doctrine of Jesus (ﷺ) and the doctrine currently
taught by the Church.
9
Initially, this difference was small, but over time, it grew and
led to major theological problems.
The Church attempted to resolve these issues by inventing
new ideas, but these ideas only deepened the differences
further. The situation reached a point where the Church
resorted to inventing an astonishing and strange idea, one
that neither Jesus nor his disciples nor Paul nor anyone in
their time had ever imagined!
This idea is the most dangerous secret that most Christians
are unaware of regarding the doctrine of today's churches,
that:
“Jesus had two spirits: one divine and one human, two
minds: one divine and one human, and two wills: one divine
and one human!”
In this book, with Allah’s permission, we will discuss this
concept in detail, exploring how it became the fundamental
and official doctrine upon which the faith of all modern
churches is based, despite its severe contradictions with the
beliefs of Jesus, the early Church fathers, the Christian
Bibles, and all human logic!
We will go back to the time of Jesus (ﷺ) to highlight the
doctrine he explicitly declared, which his disciples believed
in, and which all his true followers adhered to. This doctrine is
clearly mentioned in the Christian Bibles.
Furthermore, we will examine the intense
theological conflict between Jesus’ disciples
and Paul the Apostle, and how the Christian
world later split into two schools: the school
of Jesus and his disciples and the school of
Paul and his followers.
10
We will analyze how today’s Christian world follows Paul’s
school rather than that of Jesus, and how that school
evolved over time, changing doctrines and teachings until it
established a completely different religion from that of Jesus
(ﷺ).
This shift became especially pronounced when churches
abandoned their original doctrine and the beliefs of the early
Church Fathers, and, under political pressure from a pagan
emperor, they adopted the creed of a young Egyptian man in
his twenties who, at that time, was not even a priest!

1. The Hypostasis of the Essence (the very being of God).
2. The Hypostasis of the Word or the Mind (God's Rational
Word or His Speaking Intellect).
3. The Hypostasis of the Spirit (the Spirit of God).
1. Some believe that Jesus is the Son of God because he
was born without a father. However, they do not consider
him to be God Himself but rather a sacred human being
connected to heaven. Nevertheless, they also see him as
divine because "the Son of God must be God." According
to this belief, God sent Jesus to be crucified and to die in
order to redeem humanity from original sin.
2. Others believe that Jesus is truly the Son of God,
similar to the ancient Greek gods who had children.
3. Another group follows the official doctrine of the
Church, which teaches that Jesus is God Himself, who
took human form so that people could see Him.
Chapter One
Did Jesus Have Two Spirits and Two Minds?
Christians' Perception of Jesus:
The Christian perception of Jesus has been a subject of
intense debate among churches and clergy since the first
century and continues to be so today. Each group has its own
understanding of who Jesus was. Generally, Christians are
divided into three main beliefs regarding Jesus:
A Brief Overview of the Doctrine of the Trinity:
The current churches believe that God [Glorified and exalted
is He beyond such attributions] has existed eternally as three
Persons or Hypostases:
12
The Church explains these terms by saying that God has an
«Essence», a «Word (Mind)», and a «Spirit». However, these
are not parts or components of God.
This doctrine states that the Hypostasis of the Essence has
its own Mind and Spirit, the Hypostasis of the Word has its
own Essence and Spirit, and the Hypostasis of the Spirit has
its own Essence and Mind!
Thus, each of them is an independent God, yet all of them are
still one God [Glorified and exalted is God beyond such
attributions].
According to the Church, after the birth of Jesus, these terms
were modified:
1. The Hypostasis of the Essence became the Father.
2. The Hypostasis of the Word became the Son.
3. The Hypostasis of the Spirit remained as the Holy Spirit.
Before the birth of Jesus, the Church teaches that there was
no Father or Son -these roles only emerged after Jesus’ birth!
The Purpose of Jesus’ Incarnation:
The Church believes that the Hypostasis of
the Essence (God) wanted to atone for
Adam's sin, which occurred when he ate
from the forbidden tree in paradise.
To forgive this sin, blood had to be shed, and someone had to
be crucified! Since this sin was passed down to all of Adam’s
descendants, it became an infinite sin, meaning that a finite
person (a human) could not atone for it. Thus, the one to be
crucified had to be an infinite being (i.e., God Himself, -may
He be glorified beyond such beliefs-).
13
Therefore, the Hypostasis of the Essence sent the Hypostasis
of the Word (the Mind of God) to incarnate in a human form,
be crucified, and die on the cross.
The Indwelling of the "Word of God" in Mary’s
Womb and Its Incarnation in Jesus:
The Church teaches that the Hypostasis of the Word
descended and dwelt in the womb of Mary, taking some
blood from her womb to form a human body for itself so that
it could appear in human form and be crucified for the
atonement of original sin.
However, a serious issue arose: According to the Bible, Jesus
was a human being who exhibited human traits such as
weakness, lacking knowledge, and suffering. Ultimately, he
was crucified and died. Before his death, he even cried out
loudly:
"My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?"
How could he be God if he died, lacked
knowledge, and needed help?
To resolve this contradiction, the Church
introduced another doctrine, claiming that
when the Hypostasis of the Word descended
into Mary's womb and took blood from her to
form a human body, it also acquired a human
soul with its own mind, consciousness, and will.
But if Jesus had both a separate divine spirit and a distinct
human spirit, wouldn’t that mean there were actually two
distinct persons within him -one divine and one human?
The Church rejects this notion and insists that Jesus was one
person with two spirits, two minds, and two wills!
14
This belief, however, led to several theological
contradictions. Before discussing them, we will first define
some key concepts that will help clarify the topic.
1. Definition of Indwelling:
Indwelling refers to the process where a spirit that has no
body enters another person's body (which already has its
own spirit and body) without merging or uniting with it.
Instead, it remains separate but takes control over the host’s
body and soul.
An example of this is found in the Gospel of Matthew
(Chapter 8, verses 28-32), where evil spirits (demons) entered
two men, and Jesus later expelled them, causing them to
enter a herd of pigs instead:
"28 When Jesus arrived … two demon-possessed men met
him as they were coming out of the tombs ... 29 They (the
demons) screamed: “What do you want with us, Son of God?”
… 32 He told them: “Go,” and they came out and went into
the pigs. Suddenly, the whole herd rushed down a steep
slope into the sea and drowned in the water."
Another example is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as
mentioned in Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 2, verses 3-4):
"3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that
separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them
were filled with the Holy Spirit."
Thus, the Church teaches that “God, the Word” (the second
Hypostasis) descended into Mary’s womb and took some
blood from her womb to form a human body. However, it did
not unite or merge with Mary’s body or soul. If it had merged
with her, Mary herself would have become a fourth
Hypostasis of God, “the Hypostasis of the Mother” [Glorified
15
and exalted is God beyond such attributions].
2. Definition of Incarnation:
Incarnation refers to a spirit that has no body and is invisible
taking on physical body of its own so that it can be seen by
human eyes. In this case, the spirit possesses and fully owns
this body.
For example, if an evil spirit were to incarnate in the form of a
sheep, this does not mean that it has indwelled within an
existing sheep that already has its own body and spirit.
Rather, it means that the evil spirit has taken on a sheep-like
body of its own -where the spirit is truly its own, and the
body that appears in the form of a sheep is also its own
(belonging to it).
This concept is supported by the Second Epistle to the
Corinthians (11:14):
"And no wonder! For Satan himself masquerades as an angel
of light."
(This means he appears in the form of an angel with a body of
light, not that he has indwelled in an already-existing angel.)
Similarly, in Revelation (20:2):
"He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil
or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years."
3. Definition of Union and Fusion:
Union and fusion occur when two independent
and separate entities merge so completely that
they dissolve into each other, making it impossible
to separate them. For example when a drop of
vinegar dissolves in water, it becomes
indistinguishable from the water itself.
16
When two companies merge completely,
they form a single larger company, losing
their previous independent identities.
4. Definition of Union and Companionship:
This type of union refers to two independent and separate
entities coming together and accompanying each other as a
unified pair, yet each retains its own separate identity and
nature.
Unlike fusion, this kind of union
does not involve blending, mixing,
or dissolving, nor does it alter the
nature of either entity.
For example: Two companies may
form a partnership under a larger
entity while maintaining their own
independence and identity.
The Relationship Between the "Hypostasis of the
Word" and Christ in Light of the Previous
Definitions:
1. Indwelling:
The Church rejects the idea of indwelling, the notion that the
"Hypostasis of the Word" indwelled within an already existing
man named Jesus, because Jesus had not yet been born
when the "Hypostasis of the Word" entered Mary's womb.
According to the Church, the "Hypostasis of the Word" is
Christ himself.
Therefore, the relationship was not one of indwelling.
17
2. Incarnation:
The Church rejects the idea of incarnation, the notion that
the Spirit of God (the Hypostasis of the Word) took on a
human body that had no spirit of its own, merely to appear in
it.
The Church believes that Christ had two spirits, one divine
and one human, inside his physical body.
Thus, the relationship was not one of incarnation.
3. Union and Fusion:
The Church rejects the idea of union and fusion, the notion
that “Christ’s human spirit” merged and fused with the Divine
spirit of the "Hypostasis of the Word" in such a way that they
became a single spirit.
It also rejects the idea that “Christ’s human will” was
absorbed into “the Divine will”, forming a single unified will.
Instead, the Church teaches that Christ had two distinct
spirits, two separate wills, and two independent minds, all
within a single human body.
Therefore, the relationship was not one of fusion or complete
union.
4. Union and Companionship:
The Church rejects the idea that Christ was actually two
independent persons who united and accompanied each
other inside his physical body: one person being "God the
Word" and the other being "Jesus the human being".
This belief of union and companionship would imply
indwelling, which contradicts the doctrine of atonement and
crucifixion.
18
If Christ were two distinct persons, it would mean that the
one who was crucified was merely the limited human rather
than the infinite God, -an idea the Church considers
unacceptable.
Therefore, the relationship was not one of union and
companionship.
19
Chapter Two
The Church’s Doctrine on the Nature of Christ
and the Relationship Between His Humanity
and Divinity
If the relationship between the divinity and humanity of
Christ was neither indwelling, nor incarnation, nor fusion, nor
companionship, then what was it?
The Church’s Doctrine on the Nature of Christ,
Born of the Virgin:
"He is the Hypostasis of 'God the Word' united with a human
body and a human soul. He indwelled in the Virgin’s womb
and took blood from her womb to create for himself a body in
which he could appear to us, be crucified, and die. However,
he also created for himself a human soul. Thus, the divine
spirit united with the human spirit and the human body,
making Christ possess two complete natures: one fully divine
and one fully human. This union occurred without fusion or
mixture (each remained distinct and independent without
blending), without alteration (the divine nature did not
change the human nature in any way, nor vice versa), and
without separation (the divine did not separate from the
human for even a moment, from the moment this human was
created, through the crucifixion and death. He remained
united with him on the cross, remained united with the soul
after it left the body, and remained united with the body
after the soul departed). Therefore, he is fully God and fully
human at the same time. He is not two persons but one
person with two spirits, two natures, two minds, two
intellects, two abilities, and two wills: one divine and one
human."
20
Thus, the one who experienced human weakness, such as
eating, dying, and lacking knowledge, is "Christ the human",
whereas the one who performed miracles is "Christ the God."
The Church provides an analogy for the union
of the two natures, -divine and human-, within
Christ, likening it to the union of iron and fire.
When iron is heated by fire, the fire unites
with the iron without the fire turning into iron
or the iron turning into fire. Striking the iron
does not affect the fire nor reach it. Similarly,
the crucifixion and death affected the human
nature but did not reach the divine nature,
despite their union.
Statements by Church Fathers on the Union of
Christ’s Natures:
Saint Athanasius the Apostolic [Athanasius I of Alexandria
296–373]:
"The Word of God came in his own person."
Saint Cyril the Great [Cyril of Alexandria 376 – 444]:
"God the Word did not assume a human person but took
upon himself a complete human nature, a body with a
rational soul, and made this human nature entirely his own,
bringing it into a natural union with his divinity."
Saint Cyril the Great also said:
"He (Christ) is considered one, composed of two. He is one
Son in whom the divine and human natures have been
gathered and united in an indescribable and unfathomable
manner, forming a single entity. For this reason, he is also
considered the mediator between God and humanity, as he
21
has brought together and united within himself two things
that were once very distant from each other, separated by a
vast gulf, -namely, divinity and humanity. He has united them
in himself, thereby connecting us to God the Father through
himself."
Saint Cyril the Great further stated:
"The Logos (God the Word) cannot be called Christ on its
own; likewise, Christ should not be described merely as a
'God-bearer,' as this would imply that God the Word simply
used human nature as a mere instrument. Instead, we must
affirm that 'God truly became man'."
Refuting This Doctrine:
This doctrine is irrational and contradicts logic for the
following reasons:
1. Union must either be fusion or companionship:
This doctrine simultaneously affirms and denies the union of
the two natures. Union must necessarily fall under one of two
categories:
1. Union and fusion of the two natures:
This would mean that Christ either had only a divine nature or
only a human nature, as the two would have merged into one.
2. Union and companionship:
This would mean that there were actually two persons living
within Christ’s body: one divine and one human.
However, this contradicts the doctrine of crucifixion and
salvation, because it implies that the one who was crucified
and died was merely the human Jesus, while the divine did
not die.
22
2. The role of the soul is to give life to the body:
According to Christian belief, God is a spirit. If God
incarnated [Glorified and exalted is He beyond such
attributions], He would not need a human soul to give life to
the body He took on! So how can it be claimed that Christ had
two souls, one divine (God’s spirit) and another human?
3. The role of the mind is free will, reasoning, and
choice:
The Church teaches that “God the Word” is the “rational
Word of God” or the “speaking intellect of God”.
If that were true, then the mind within Christ’s body should
have been the mind of God rather than a human mind, as God
does not need a human intellect.
The Church claims that 'Christ had two wills, but they did not
conflict because his human will submitted to his divine will.'
As evidence, the Church cites the following verse:
Matthew 26:39:
Since God cannot die, this means that the act of redemption
was never fulfilled, making Christ’s coming pointless!
"Going a little farther, Jesus fell with his face to the ground
and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from
me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.'"
However, this verse proves that Christ
had only one will, and that it was human.
If he had two wills: one belonging to “God
the Word” and another human, then why
did he pray to “God the Father” instead
of referring to “God the Word” within
him?
