Fountain of Christianity — Page 65
65 We believe that all conceivable powers and excellences are to be found in the person and attributes of God Almighty. We do not believe, like the A ryas, that He does not have the power to create particles or souls, nor do we say—God forbid—that He is a miser and does not want to grant ever- lasting salvation to anyone; nor do we believe that He does not have the power and authority to grant salvation. Unlike the A rya Sam a jists, we do not say that God has forever closed the door to revelation, nor do we say that He is hard-hearted and does not accept people’s repentance and keeps subjecting them to millions of reincarnations as a recompense for a single sin, nor do we believe that He does not have the power to accept repentance. We also do not believe, as the Christians do, that 'God' suffered death at one time, that he was arrested, impris- oned and put on the cross by the Jews, and that he was born of a woman, and even had brothers. We do not say that God went to Hell for three days in order to atone for people’s sins, and that he could not grant them salvation without first dying for their sake and spending three days in Hell. Unlike the Christians, we do not believe that Di- vine revelation has been sealed after our Holy Prophet sa , and that the door to Divine converse and communion is signs of the living; He neither responds to those who call Him, nor does He show any miraculous work. Be sure, therefore, that their 'God' is dead and he lies buried in Mohallah Kh a ny a r, Srinagar. As for the A ryas, their souls have no God at all, for they consider these souls to be eternal and self-existing. [Author]
