According
to Hart, the honor for founding Christianity is to be shared between
Jesus (pbuh) and St. Paul. The latter he believes to be the real
founder of Christianity.
I
cannot help agreeing with Hart. Out of the total of 27 Books of the
New Testament, more than half is
authored by Paul. As opposed to
Paul, the Master has not written a single word of the twenty-seven
books. If you
can lay your hands on what is called "'A Red Letter Bible,"
you will find every word alleged to have been
uttered by Jesus (pbuh) - in red
ink and the rest in normal black ink. Don't be shocked to find that
in this so called
"Injeel," the Gospel of Jesus, over ninety percent of the
27 Books of the New Testament is printed in
black ink!
This is the candid Christian confession on what they call the
"Injeel." In actual any confrontation with
Christian missionaries, you will
find them quoting one hundred percent from Paul.
NO
ONE FOLLOWS JESUS (PBUH)
Jesus (pbuh) said, "If you love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15)
He
said further, Whosoever
therefore shall break one of
these least commandments, and
shall
teach
men so, he shall be
called the least
in the kingdom of heaven . . ."
(Matthew
5:19)
Every
Christian controversialist you question, "Do you keep the laws
and the commandments?" will answer,
"No!" If you ask
further, "Why don't you?" He will if he is a Bible-thumper,
invariably reply, "The law is nailed to
the cross!" Meaning the law
is done away with. "We are now living under grace!"
Every
time you prod him with what his Lord and Master (pbuh) had said, he
will confront you with something
from Cornithians, Galatians,
Ephesians, Philippians, etc. If you ask, "Who are they?"
You will hear, 'Paul,
Paul, Paul!" "Who is
your master?" you question, and he will say, "Jesus!"
But he will ever and anon
contradict his own Jesus (pbuh)
by his Paul!
No
learned Christian will ever dispute the fact that the real founder of
Christianity is St. Paul. Therefore,
Michael H. Hart to be fair, had
to place Jesus (pbuh), in slot number three. WHY PROVOKE YOUR
CUSTOMER? This placing of Christ
in the number three spot by Michael H. Hart poses a very serious
question for us. Why would an
American publish a book of 572 pages in America and selling in
America for $15
each, go out of his way to provoke his potential readers? Who will
buy his books? Surely, not the
Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis,
neither the Arabs nor the Turks! Except for a few copies here and
there, the
overwhelming number of his
customers will be from the 250 million Christians and the 6 million
Jews of America.
Then why did he provoke his customers? Did he not hear the dictum -
"the customer is
always
right!"
Of course he did. Then why his daring choice. But before I close
this episode of Hart, I will allow him
to make his one last apology for
his "temerity."
"MY
CHOICE OF MUHAMMAD TO LEAD THE LIST OF THE WORLD'S MOST INFLUENTIAL
PERSONS MAY
SURPRISE SOME READERS AND MAY BE QUESTIONED BY OTHERS, BUT HE WAS THE
ONLY MAN
IN HISTORY WHO WAS SUPREMELY SUCCESSFUL ON BOTH THE RELIGIOUS AND
SECULAR LEVEL."

Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in
History",
