1. The promise of eternal life given to people who lived before the time of Jesus.

In Torah Genesis 1:27 Allaah created man in His own image meaning Allaah gave man a soul that can live forever.

“Do not liken anyone or anything to Allaah” in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5 means that when Allaah created man in His own image that image is not a physical image of man or of Allaah because that would liken man to Allaah which is forbidden in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5.

When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge they were removed because in Torah Genesis 3:22 “they might eat from the tree of life and live forever.”

This means that Allaah in the Torah is teaching man that he has the capability of everlasting life.

To create man in His own image means Allaah gave man a soul that can live forever.

Genesis 3:15 And I (Allaah) will put hostility between you (the serpent) and the woman, and between your seed (meaning the serpent’s offspring) and her seed (her human offspring); He (her human descendants) shall crush your (snake’s) head (meaning humans can destroy the snake meaning humans can overcome sin as explained in Genesis 4:7), and you (the snake) shall bite their (human) heel (so that humans fall down from righteousness like Adam and Eve fell down from righteousness however Adam and Eve and their children can overcome sin and return to righteousness by repenting to Allaah and returning to good behaviour in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, 1 Kings 8:46-8:50, Ezekiel 18:20-18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2-14:3 and Micah 6:6-6:8).

Note 1. The story of hostility between humans and snakes is a reminder for humans to avoid sin every time they see a snake.

Note 2. A human cannot know when they will see a snake and in the same way a human cannot know when sin will come to test the righteousness of a human.

Note 3. The lesson of this story is beware of sin in the same way as you would beware of a snake.

Note 4. The lesson of this story is humans can overcome sin by repenting to Allaah and returning to good behaviour in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, 1 Kings 8:46-8:50, Ezekiel 18:20-18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2-14:3 and Micah 6:6-6:8.

Note 5. In Genesis 1:28 Allaah blessed Adam and Eve meaning Allaah forgave their sin and Allaah told Adam and Eve to have children and to be the caretakers of every living thing on the earth in Genesis 1:28 and to be caretakers over all the earth in Genesis 1:26.

Genesis 4:7 (To the children of Adam and Eve) "Is it not so (that from the time of your parents Adam and Eve) if you improve (your behaviour), it (your sins) will be forgiven to you (like the sins of Adam and Eve were forgiven in the first chapter of Tanakh which are the headlines of creation where Allaah blesses Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28 and in the following chapters Allaah gave more details about Adam and Eve which teach humans how Allaah forgives sin meaning anyone who is blessed by Allaah like Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28 are sinless on the Day of Resurrection) and if you do not improve (your behaviour) then sin couches (like a serpent, like a snake) at the door and it desires you (to sin by waiting to bite your heel so that a human might fall down from righteousness as explained by the story of the serpent in Genesis 3:15), but you (the human) may rule over it (meaning humans can overcome sin as explained in a story where a snake is waiting to bite your foot however all humans can rule over sin as easily as crushing the head of a snake in Genesis 3:15 by returning to righteousness through repenting to Allaah and returning to good behaviour and this is confirmed by every prophet of Allaah in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, 1 Kings 8:46 - 8:50, Ezekiel 18:20 - 18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2 - 14:3 and Micah 6:6 - 6:8)."

Note 1. Righteousness is not the killing of a snake but is the repenting to Allaah and returning to good behaviour in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, 1 Kings 8:46-8:50, Ezekiel 18:20-18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2-14:3 and Micah 6:6-6:8.

Note 2. In Genesis 1:28 Allaah blessed Adam and Eve meaning Allaah forgave their sin and Allaah told Adam and Eve to have children and to be the caretakers of every living thing on the earth in Genesis 1:28 and to be caretakers over all the earth in Genesis 1:26.

Genesis 9:5 And surely I (Allaah) will require it (accounting in this life and/or in the hereafter) for (the taking of) your lifeblood; by the hand of any animal (who takes your life) I will require it (accounting for what they did); and by the hand of man (by suicide) even by the hand of every man’s brother (by any human who takes your life), I (Allaah) will require (taking) the life of (that) man (in this life and/or in the hereafter).

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know nothing, neither have they (those who died have) any more a reward (for praising Allaah); because (in death) they have no memory (of anything).

Note 1. In death there is no memory and this is why on the Day of Resurrection when people are asked how much time has passed it will feel like only a day or part of a day had passed between the time of their death and the Day of their Resurrection in Quran 2:259, Quran 18:19, Quran 20:103, Quran 20:104, Quran 23:113, Quran 30:55, Quran 46:35 and Quran 79:46.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 And (in death) the dust returns to the earth as it was and the spirit returns to Allaah who gave it.

Zabur Psalm 6:6 For there is no memory of You (Allaah) in death; in the grave, who will thank You (Allaah)?

Note 1. Humans have no memory in death meaning no memory when they are in the grave.

Note 2. Humans have no memory of Allaah when they are in the grave meaning nothing happens in the grave.

Note 3. Dead humans can only know Allaah when they are resurrected back to life meaning nothing happens during death in the grave.

Note 4. In death there is no memory and this is why on the Day of Resurrection when people are asked how much time has passed it will feel like only a day or part of a day had passed between the time of their death and the Day of their Resurrection in Quran 2:259, Quran 18:19, Quran 20:103, Quran 20:104, Quran 23:113, Quran 30:55, Quran 46:35 and Quran 79:46.

Zabur Psalm 146:4 (When death comes) his breath goes out, he returns to the earth (as dust); in that very day (of his death) his thoughts perish (meaning he has no memory in death).

Isaiah 38:18 For the dead in the grave cannot praise You (Allaah), death cannot celebrate You (Allaah); they that go down into the grave cannot hope for Your (Allaah’s) truth (because those in the grave have no memory).

Isaiah 38:19 The living, the living, he shall praise You (Allaah), as I (Prophet Isaiah) do this day; the father to the children shall make known Your (Allaah’s) truth.

Isaiah 26:19 Your dead shall live, “My dead bodies shall arise, awake and sing, you that dwell in the dust (grave) for Your (Allaah’s) dew (the Torah) is like the dew of light (of guidance), and the earth shall bring to life the shades (those in the graves).

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence.

Psalm 37:9 For evil-doers shall be cut off (from Allaah’s mercy and Allaah’s blessings in the hereafter because they shall be punished); but those that wait for the LORD (Allaah), they shall inherit the land (of Paradise).

Psalm 37:11 But the humble shall inherit the land (of Paradise), and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Psalm 37:17 For the arms (the power) of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD (Allaah) upholds (supports) the righteous.

Psalm 37:18 The LORD (Allaah) knows the days (of the lives) of them (people) that are wholehearted (sincere in righteousness); and their inheritance (of Paradise in the hereafter) shall be forever.

Psalm 37:21 The wicked borrow (from other humans), and do not pay back (to humans what they borrowed); but the righteous deal graciously, and give (back what they owe to other humans).

Psalm 37:22 For such (righteous people) as are blessed by Him (Allaah), (they) shall inherit the land (of Paradise in the hereafter); and they (the wicked people) that are cursed by Him (Allaah) shall be cut off (from Allaah’s mercy and Allaah’s blessings in the hereafter because they shall be punished).

Psalm 37:27 Depart (meaning go away) from evil, and do good; and dwell (live) forevermore (in the Paradise promised by Allaah to every righteous person).

Psalm 37:28 For the LORD (Allaah) loves justice, and does not forsake (forget) His (Allaah’s) saints (righteous people); they are preserved forever (in the Paradise promised by Allaah to every righteous person); but the seed of the wicked (meaning those who follow the wrong doers) shall be cut off (from Allaah’s mercy and Allaah’s blessings in the hereafter where they shall be punished).

Psalm 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land (of Paradise), and dwell (live) in there forever.

Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speak wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

Psalm 37:34 Wait (all the days of your life until you die) for the LORD (Allaah), and keep His (Allaah’s) way, and He (Allaah) will exalt you to inherit the land (of Paradise promised by Allaah to every righteous person); when the wicked are cut off (from Allaah’s mercy and Allaah’s blessings and they shall be punished), you shall see it (on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter).

Psalm 37:37 Mark (remember) the man (the human) of integrity (the human of truth and honesty), and look at the upright (the righteous); for there is a future (to receive Allaah’s mercy and Allaah’s blessing in the hereafter) for the man (the human) of peace (the human who strives to make peace in the world).

Psalm 37:38 But transgressors (law breakers, evil doers and peace breakers) shall be destroyed (all) together (in the hereafter); the future of the wicked shall be cut off (from Allaah’s mercy and Allaah’s blessings and they shall be punished in the hereafter).

Psalm 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is by the LORD (Allaah); He (Allaah) is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

Psalm 37:40 And the LORD (Allaah) helps them, and delivers them; He (Allaah) delivers them from the wicked, and saves them (from the punishment in the hereafter), because they (the righteous) have taken refuge in Him (Allaah).

2. The promise of eternal life given to people who lived before the time of Jesus means Jesus was not sacrificed.

Three days after the crucifixion Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell all the disciples that Jesus did not die on the cross in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father” meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with a miracle which made people think Jesus was dead on the cross in the same way Allaah made people believe a sleeping person was dead in Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24 and Gospel of Luke 8:52.

The soul of every human ascends to Allaah during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).

When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to Allaah every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with sleep (Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24, Gospel of Luke 8:52, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42) meaning Jesus did not die on the cross with death but was saved on the cross with sleep which looked like Jesus was dead and in this way Allaah saved the life of Jesus meaning no one killed Jesus (Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 and Quran 39:42) meaning no one crucified Jesus to death (Quran 4:157) meaning Jesus was not sacrificed but was saved from death with sleep in Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 for the same reason Allaah saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in Allaah of Abraham and Jesus.

When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (Allaah) and your Father (Allaah)" it means Jesus will die like every human dies meaning Jesus died a natural death at the end of his life 2000 years ago (Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75) as proof Jesus is human and as proof Jesus is not Allaah.

Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not cleave (hold on) to me (Jesus, with surprise but believe that I am alive, I am not a ghost), for I (Jesus, meaning the soul of Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah, meaning I am not yet dead because my body was only sleeping and now I have awoken); but go to my brothers, and tell them: 'I (Jesus, meaning the soul of Jesus) am ascending to my Father (who is the creator of every creation) and your Father (who is the same one creator of every creation); to my Allaah and your Allaah (because at the end of every human life Allaah raises the soul to heaven and to Allaah which is proof that I am a human like you).'"

Note 1. After the crucifixion Jesus says do not hold on to me to see if I am really alive, I have not yet ascended to my Father meaning I am not yet dead meaning I am really alive meaning I am not a ghost.

Note 2. Jesus said tell the brothers that Allaah is My Father and your Father meaning Allaah is my creator and your creator because the father is the creator of every creation.

Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one father (Allaah)? Has not one Allaah created us? …”

Note 3. Jesus said tell the brothers that Allaah is My Allaah and your Allaah meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord.

Note 4. Three days after the crucifixion Jesus tells Mary to tell his brothers (his disciples) that “I have not yet ascended to the Father” meaning Jesus was saved by Allaah from the death of crucifixion.

Note 5. Three days after the crucifixion Jesus tells Mary to tell his brothers (his disciples) that “I am ascending to my Father” meaning Jesus will die like every human dies as proof Jesus is human meaning do not let a miracle make you think that Jesus is more than a man like you meaning Jesus will die like you will die because all humans die as proof they are humans.

Note 6. Three days after the crucifixion Jesus tells Mary to tell his brothers (his disciples) that Allaah is “my Father and your Father” meaning Allaah is my creator and your creator meaning do not let a miracle make you think that Jesus is more than a man like you.

Note 7. Three days after the crucifixion Jesus tells Mary to tell his brothers (his disciples) that Allaah is “my Allaah and your Allaah” meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord meaning Allaah is my Master and your Master meaning do not let a miracle make you think that Jesus is more than a man like you.

Note 8. No one tells people they are not Allaah unless something amazing has happened which might cause confusion about who Jesus is. This is the reason Jesus is telling Mary Magdalene (who is the first person Jesus meets after the crucifixion) to say these things to his brothers (who are his disciples) so that no one is confused by a miracle from Allaah. Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross making everyone believe Jesus was dead on the cross and in this way Allaah saved the life of Jesus.

Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping",

Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..."

Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping."

Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned, and she stood up at once, and he ordered that she be given something to eat. (This was proof that she was alive and not dead and that she was a physical body who could eat food and not a resurrected spiritual body that does not need food meaning she was a physical body who woke up after sleep and not a spiritual body which was resurrected after death as described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:35 and 1 Corinthians 15:44).

Note 1. In the Gospel after the crucifixion Jesus also asks for something to eat as proof he is alive and human and not a ghost.

1. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross is confirmed in Tanakh Jewish scripture where Allaah does not accept human sacrifice in Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:3, Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Deuteronomy 24:16, Hosea 6:6, Jeremiah 7:22-7:23, Psalm 40:7 in Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bible and Micah 6:7-6:8.

2. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross to forgive sin is confirmed in Tanakh Jewish scripture where Allaah forgives sin without sacrifice through repentance in prayer to Allaah as explained in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, Ezekiel 18:21-18:23. Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 14:2–14:3, 1 Kings 8:46–8:50 and Psalm 40:7 in Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bible.

3. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross because sacrifices are only permitted on an altar that is dedicated to Allaah.

4. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross because sacrifices are burned with fire and this is confirmed by Abraham who took wood and fire to burn his son on the altar which he had built and dedicated to Allaah.

5. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross because 2000 years ago sacrifices where only permitted on altars located inside the temple.

6. Paul who claimed Jesus died and was resurrected unknowingly confirms Jesus did not die on the cross when Paul says that the dead are resurrected in a spiritual body.

Jesus was not resurrected in a spiritual body therefore according to the revelations of Paul Jesus did not die meaning Jesus was not sacrificed.

1 Corinthians 15:35 “How are the dead raised (resurrected) in what kind of body will they (the resurrected dead) come?

1 Corinthians 15:44 It is raised (resurrected) a spiritual body (however 3 days after the crucifixion Jesus showed that his body was a physical body which Mary could touch and by eating food in his mouth and showing nail marks on his hand and a wound on his side to his disciples meaning Jesus showed he was not a resurrected spiritual body but was saved from death on the cross by falling into sleep on the cross and waking up after 3 days in his physical body in the same way as other people who appeared to be dead were only sleeping in their physical body in Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping", Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..." and the Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping". ” … and Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned).

7. Jesus is the son of man meaning he is a human messenger of Allaah and he is the son of Allaah meaning he is the servant of Allaah delivering the message of Allaah so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of Allaah and human messengers of Allaah both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with Allaah because only Allaah knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses do not know the hour meaning pray only to Allaah and not to the angel and human messengers of Allaah.

Gospel of Mark 13:32 "But as to that day or that hour (the time of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of Allaah), but only the Father (Allaah, who is the Father of every creation).

Gospel of Matthew 24:36 But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (Allaah) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of Allaah).

Note 1. If Allaah is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.

Note 2. If Allaah is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and Allaah know the hour.

Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.

Note 4. There is only one Allaah because no one is equal to Allaah not Jesus and not the angels.

Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like Allaah.

In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah or part of Allaah because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only Allaah knows “the hour” meaning “Allaah is one’ not three in one.

Note 6. What does Son of Allaah mean?

Son means servant of Allaah.

The Quran warns against misunderstanding the meaning of son because some Christians thought that son was a real biological son instead of correctly knowing that son means servant of Allaah in both the Torah and in the Gospel.

Note 7. In the time of Prophet Jesus no one believed that Jesus is Allaah because Jesus was delivering the words of Allaah like the prophets before him who all confirmed that -

"Allaah is not a man" in Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29 and Hosea 11:9 and

"Allaah is not the son of man" in Numbers 23:19 and

"Do not liken anyone or anything to Allaah" in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5 and

The warning from messiah king David that “there is no salvation in the son of man” in Psalm 146:3.

Meaning Jesus is not Allaah in the sight of all the people who saw him 2000 years ago.

The Jewish people 2000 year ago and today understood and understand the meaning of Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Hosea 11:9, Numbers 23:19, Isaiah 40:25, Isaiah 46:5 and Psalm 146:3 which is explained above and that “Allaah is one” which is the First of the Ten Commandments of Allaah is not the same as “Allaah is three in one” because adding “three in one” violates the commandment of Allaah in Deuteronomy 4:2 "not to add or subtract" to what Allaah has commanded in the Torah for 100,000 years which is the thousandth generation if each generation lived for 100 years in Deuteronomy 5:10 meaning forever in Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible meaning no one can add or subtract to the commandment that “Allaah is one” by adding “Allaah is three in one” because Allaah has forbidden anyone from doing such a thing so that people can judge true prophets who confirm the word of Allaah from false prophets and dreamers of false dreams who add or subtract from the word of Allaah especially in the first and most important of the Ten Commandments of Allaah that “Allaah is one” not “three in one.”

8. “I and the father are one” describes all the messengers of Allaah because they are the word of Allaah made flesh (human). For example both Moses and Jesus are the word of Allaah made flesh (human) because they are delivering the word of Allaah which Allaah has put into their mouth to deliver as described in Deuteronomy 18:18. Everyone who obeys Allaah is “one with Allaah.” and in the Gospels Jesus asks Allaah to also make his disciples one with Him which confirms that the meaning of we are one is to obey Allaah.

9. All power is with Allaah and not with the messengers of Allaah like Moses and Jesus.

Gospel of Matthew 20:23 He (Jesus) says to them, "My cup you will indeed drink, but to sit on my right or on my left is not mine to grant, but is only for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father (Allaah)."

Note 1. Jesus says he can not grant a request because it is Allaah (not Jesus) who determines every thing.

10. Allaah warns that if anyone claims Allaah has changed His word it cannot be true because Allaah does not change His word because only humans change their word meaning if anything changes from what Allaah revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture then you can know it came from humans and not from Allaah.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and God.

The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.
