Islam in 21st Century
~ 193 ~
Kinshasa, the capital of Zire. His name was Moya
Wamoya and he was called Holy John 23. After
accepting Islam this gentleman has changed his
name as Usman Wamoya. When asked about the
cause of renouncing Christianity, Mr. Wamoya said
that he was disillusioned with the factual
contradictions recorded in the New Testament. For
instance, these books refer to Christ as an ordinary
human being at one place and as the divine son of
God at the other.
When a person studies the Bible he observes an
ancestral lineage of Christ. The book of Matthew
records him as the son of David. But when the
reader approaches the book of Mark, Christ
becomes Son of God. Thus the same personality has
different identities. He is son of a man at one stage
and Son of God at the other.
The Bible is full of such discrepancies which compel
its reader to think that if it is the book of God, it
must have been subjected to human interference
and alterations. Probably the present Bible is a
drastically changed version of its original form.
