The Bible itself, tells that what kinds of changes were brought therein to mislead the people of Gospels. Torah (the Law of Moses) says that God talked to the nation of Moses on the mount Sinai where God gave the Commandments in
Godly voice.
When people heard the voice, they did tremble in fear and awe. And, later on, they requested the Lord, not to talk to them, so directly again. Because to bear with the Godly voice, was beyond their tolerance. The Lord, of course, acceded to their request.
God’s Foremost Commandment was about God’s Absolute Aloneness.
God said:-
“Worship no god but Me”.
(Exodus, 20:3)
“I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
And no one can oppose what I do”.
(Duet. 32:39)
That was the foremost Commandment, given by the Lord in Godly voice to the nation of Moses. Wherein God mentioned further:-
“Worship Me alone and whosoever
will worship the god, other than Me,
will be My rival. And, I tolerate no
rivals. I will curse the people who do so”.
God also mentioned to the people___ not to make & worship the images of God. God told them that nothing is alike God in the heaven or on the earth, or under the earth, or in the water.
It simply meant that God is not like anything at all and a thing or a creature can never be considered as God.
The Bible also tells us that God is Omnipotent. The Book of Genesis, in its 1st chapter, says:
“God commanded, Let there be light
And the light appeared”.
(Genesis 1:3)
It simply means that God can create whatsoever God wills. So, according to the Bible, it is very clear that God, our Lord, is All Alone and whatsoever is created____ is created by God, independently.
THINK!
God never said “I am One God”. Instead, God always said that God is One Alone God. Which means Only One and the All-Alone God___ without any god or gods beside God or in God.
In terms of Mathematics, one may consist of many parts or may be a combination of various parts. So, God is very much particular, in telling the nation of Moses, about the fact of God’s Oneness. And, God used the most appropriate words about God’s Oneness. “I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real”.
Now think by yourself that when you hear the word “alone”, what comes to your mind and when you hear the word “one”, what comes to your mind?
CONCENTRATE
When you say I am one, what do you mean?
And, when you say I am alone, what do you mean?
You are one of the God’s creatures but you are not an alone creature.
You are one of your family members and you are not a family alone.
You are one on us and you are not alone.
I hope___ now through these sentences___ you can understand the difference of “one” and “alone”.
And now you can clearly understand that while addressing to the nation of Moses____ why God did not use the word “one” and ___ why God used the word “alone”.
And now you can also realize that an Alone God is an Alone God. Alone God is not a combination of three or more than three gods or a member of any holy family.
IF
An alone person in this world, is not a family, then,
HOW
An Alone God can be a family?
So, whosoever believes in One Alone God, he is a believer of the Real God and all the others are non-believers of the Real God.
The Verse “Nothing is alike God” makes us understand that:
1.The Absolute God should never be denounced as a thing.
2.The Absolute God is the Beyond of everything.
3.Things and persons are not God’s parts or partners.
4.Things or persons should not be considered as God or the partners of God.
5.The Absolute God must be believed as the Absolute Creator of everything.
6.God is All Powerful and should not be considered as subservient to anything.
7.God is Holy and free from all sorts of needs, creaturely qualities should not be associated to God.
8.God has created the system of birth. God does not give birth to anything at all and no one has given birth to God. God is the Holy Creator and God must be believed as the Holy Creator of everything, in heavens, on earth and under the earth, in water.
9.God should not be apprehended by virtue of intellect.
10.God is not a quality or condition.
11.God does not bear any state or stature.
12.God is not encompass-able by apprehension.
13.Accession to God is not possible by any kind of knowledge, wisdom, realization or efforts.
14.God is God____ not a creature.
15.God makes every “Complete” as “Perfect”.
16.God is never increased or decreased at all.
17.God is not a life-holder, instead, God is the Creator of life & death and the Beginning and the End.
18.God is not the subject of ascension or decline.
19.God exercises absolute control over everything and nothing can outdo God.
20.God is overwhelming everything and nothing can overwhelm God.
21.Nothing is beyond God’s all-encompassing accession.
22.God’s existence does not bear any bounding line or edge.
23.Almightiness, exposed by God, is just a glimpse of God’s Infinite Power.
24.The creatures can not break their limits. Nor they can come out of their limits unless the Creator permits them.
25.God is the Sustainer of everything while none is there to sustain God.
26.God is Alive and the Eternal, without spirit. Spirit is a commandment of God, which is not alike God at all.
27.No praise or tribute has any accession to God.
28.God is the Lord of Worlds.
29.God is not common or a special happening, which took place or which is taking place. Instead, God is the Creator of every happening since inception.
30.All the things and persons are the beggars before God while God is the Sole Blesser to everyone.
31.God’s Messengers or Prophets are God’s servants and they are subservient to God in every matter.
God is the Ever Exalted and the Absolute-Holy. Every praise is meant for God and God is so Eminent that pride is befitting to God alone. God’s Holiness is supported by the fact that God is not like anything and there is no end to God’s praise at all.
God has always been believed as One Alone God in every country and in every age. Prophets have preached about the All-Alone God. None of them has ever talked of duplicate or triplicate gods, or of a total or a whole of many gods, or of a man-god or of demigod, or of a creaturely-god.
Jesus (PBUH) said:
“No one is good except God alone”
(Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19)
And___ Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“There is no go save Allah”
(Al-Quran 37:35)
And___ God said on the Mount of Sinai:
“I ___ and I Alone____ am God
No other god is real”
(Duet 32:39)
If there had been some other god, or some creator of God, or some partner of God___ then___ the news of such a God would have been brought to us by someone. But the situation has never been like that, at all.
The Message of Monotheism alone has been repeated again and again, which is an undeniable proof of the fact, that there is no god but the One Alone God. God is our Lord and the Creator of the WHOLE but God is not a WHOLE or a component of the WHOLE___, which could be discovered by human intellect.
If to touch God through intellect___ had been a positive and a regular action___ then___ the question of “who created god?” would have been a reasonable question. But the situation has never been like that as nothing is alike God. God has always been believed as Supernatural and Super-Physical and Beyond of human intellect.
Those who believe in creaturely god and declare God as a whole___ as a father___ as a thing___ as a worshipper___ as a conjugal lover___ as a power of time___ as a living age___ as a person___ as an image or imagination___ and worship the same. They can, of course, tell that who created God or who is the creator of their creaturely God?
But if, even these people, did declare the question, as an unreasonable and absurd question___ then___ all of the people, must clear their minds from such type of questions and notions. By and by they must clear, all of the places of worship, from the idols and images of God. And___ they must immediately stop, their malpractice of introducing God, in creaturely terms, as the practice has already been declared, as hatred and enmity against God, not by some Prophet, but by the Lord, our God on the mount of Sinai:
“I ____ and I Alone___ am God:
No other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
And no one can oppose what I do”.
(Duet 32:39)
“Worship no god but Me.
Do not make for yourselves images of
anything in heaven or on earth or in the water
under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol
Or worship it, because I am the Lord your God
and
I tolerate no rivals”.
(Bible, Exodus 20:3, 4, 5)
