The christian theologians are not paying so much of attention as is necessary for the reformation of social evils which have been widely spread in the christian community. In stead of propagating the moral teachings as had been taught by Jesus, they are more particular in preaching: that- Jesus has redeemed you and offered his life on cross as ransom for your sins. And he is your intercessor. The concepts such as these make one free from fear of God which ultimately lead one to commiany kind of sin. Thus christianity too entargled in the snare of evils such as debauchery-consuming of intoxicants, raping tribery etc... Thus the moral values have been diluted with pollution of evils to the extent that the christian community can hardly be discriminated from others. What our findings are that the teachings of Jesus are not being projected to the expected levels by Jesus through his followers. Let alone the social evils, but theological difference of opinions and sectarian divisions also took deep roots which cannot be plucked up easily. No doubt that one can find such drawbacks in all communities. But what our grievance is that it appears by its teachings that the church has given an indirect sanction to be free from fear of God by such preachings as above mentioned. The teachings of Jesus for building up of morality and for eradication of evil from the society are so high that even if some of them were put in practice and theologiaxs pay their attention on praching them, a very good christian community would have been built up. But the person of Jesus is focussed more as divine a second of the trinity rather than on his real person as a reformer and Christ of God. But christianity has awarded divinity and worships him rather than taking him as a prophet and reformer. We cannot find Jesus to have said in the whole Bible any where that he is a god, nor had he ever preached to worship him. The twelve Apostles and the early disciples never preached the divinity of Jesus. As regards to Jesus we can find two important points of which one is that one shold believe him as a Christ sent of God and the second is that one should follow him according to his teachings.
But to prove the divinity of Jesus christian scholors make a stress on the following verses.
1. Does 'our' Mean - three persons?
And God said letus make man in our image. -Genesis 1:26
As God says in the above clause 'let us make man in our image', some argue to prove the divinity of Jesus, that the meaning of US refers to three persons!. But why should we restrict the meaning of US as there persons? it may be two or more than three members. Let us take it for granted for a while that there are three persons in existence, and if this be taken as true when this doctrine has been come in to the propagation? It has been propagated in the fourth century after the departure of Jesus, means until then nobody had known about the doctrine of trinity. If at all the word, which is mentioned as US in the book of Genesis, had been spoken by God, there after thousands of the Holy Prophets, wisemen and ascetics had passed away and they did not preach this point any where. But we can find that the doctrine of the trinity to have been entred into the christianity after the interpretations of the Romans. Thus the trinity has been taken root in christianity against to the message, which had been preached by Jesus during his ministry. It is the responsibility of every christian that he should find out the validity of this doctrine comparing with the teachings of Jesus. And so according to the teachings of Jesus let us observe the following point.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, bptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost. -Matthew 28:19
As a matter of fact there is no least point in the above verse which confirm the divinity of Jesus.
However, to prove the divinity of Jesus what their arguement is that Jesus had baptized in the name of Father, and son and Holy Ghost- stressing on the point "in the name of ", which phrase is in the singular number but not in the plural. Therefore the three persons in the union of trinity are equal. Those who are not having no literary efficiency argue in this way in vain.
For example: The sentence construction should not beyond the gramitical rules, this is the principle rule in the leterature. And matter should convey its correct meaning only with few proper words concisely, then only the sentence sounds beautiful. And basing on these gramitical principles our the above verse is constructed so. If the above verse is constructed as-baptizing them in the name of Father, in the name of son, in the name of Holy Ghost, then according to the rule of grammar it appears humorous. This is why it is stated as "in the name of Father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost". And we can find that the word 'And' to have been mentioned therein three times in this sentence. This means the word 'And' is mentioned to quality the phrase 'in the name of'. Therefore according to this analysis we understand that the word 'And' is used as supplement to the words ‘in the name of’. Thus the words 'in the name of' are represented by the word 'And'. If it is supposed according to the phrase, which is mentioned in the singular number as "In the name of", relating to the Father and Son and Holy Ghost as co-equal three persons, then why did not the early Appostles make this type of interpretations as preached by the present Church? And why did not they use such terminology as the Christ is God and the Holy Ghost is God? In these days the Christ and the Holy Ghost are being worshipped but why they were not worshipped by the early christians? Therefore we should take the belief of the early Appostles as a 'measure' to maintain our relation with the Christ. Because basing on their proper belief as the Christ they were blessed by the Christ, if we also wish such blessings we should believe only Jehovah as God and Jesus as the Christ just as the early Appostles. Only then one can be saved.
On careful study of the Bible one can get the accurate answer as to who is God and what is the reality of the Christ. But it is impossible to get the correct answer depending on some parts of the sentences in the Bible. Therefore one should take the context as well as the whole verse to arrive at the correct mean of any verse as propounded by the Bible, contrary to this believing Jesus in capacity of God and propagating like that leads one towards the great sin. In this regard Jesus himself shows the way, which leads to one towards the eternal life as follows.
Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death unto life. -John 5:24
Jesus--
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent -John 17:3
These verses are stated by Jesus and what one can understand through these references is that according to first the passage one should believe Jehovah as God secondly Jesus as Christ. This belief is given by Jesus. Now let us see what was the belief of immidiate disciples of Jesus from the following.
Peter--
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord -2 Peter 1:2
James--
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad greeting. -James 1:1
Jude--
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ. -Jude 1:1
John--
...And truly our fellowship is with the Fathe and with his son Jesus Christ. -1 John 1:3
Paul--
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. -Galatians 1:3
These verses were stated by Jesus, Peter, James, Jude, John and Paul. Actually they are the different persons. However we can find the similarity and unanimity in their words, therein mentioned regarding only Jehovah secondly Jesus Christ and in John 5:24 and 17:3, Jesus stresses the point that one, who believe Jehovah as God and him as the Christ and act according to his teachings, can attain the eternal life.
