245 Malfuzat – Volume IV sins of others? One cannot help but feel extremely disappointed at this fanciful Christian belief. When the heart has become impure, what else remains? How can Christ save others? If these people had any shame, and if they had made use of reason and reflection, whilst presenting the doctrine that Christ was crucified and accursed on the one hand, and claiming that he was God on the other, they would have died of embarrassment. Now ample means have become available to break the cross, and the falsity of the Christian religion has become a manifest fact. When a thief is apprehended, initially the thief refuses to give an admission and remains silent. However, when the police inquiry is complete, eventually the accomplices hand themselves in too, and ample testimony from women and chil - dren also becomes available. Some of the stolen wealth is also found. It is then that the thief is forced to shamelessly confess that ‘Yes, I am the thief. ’ This is the state of the Christian faith as well. Death on the cross proves Christ to be a liar. A curse sullies the heart and detaches one from God. Then, Christ’s own statement that ‘no miracle will be shown except the miracle of Jonah’ not only rejects all of his other miracles, but declares that the real miracle was for him to be saved from death on the cross. The Christians accept that the Gospel is interpolated to an extent. All of these points when put together are a very sizable stockpile sufficient to demolish the wall of the divinity of Christ built on sand, so that it is razed to the ground. His tomb in Srinagar has also destroyed the cross. The Ointment of Jesus also serves as testimony. In short, when all of these points are presented in a beautiful sequence before a wise, good-natured individual, they must clear - ly admit that the Messiah did not die on the cross. Therefore, the Atonement, which is the bedrock of Christianity, is absolutely false. The Purpose of the Advent of the Promised Messiah So remember, these are the verities that God Almighty has disclosed in this age by His grace and mercy to the Promised Messiah. I proclaim that now the time of God has arrived. The time has now come for the words of our Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to be fulfilled when he said that the Promised Messiah would break the cross. The purport of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was not that he would go about breaking physical crosses. For if breaking physical crosses was enough for a man to become the Promised Messiah, then many crosses were broken in the time of Salah-ud- Din and Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. Aside from this, there is p. 511
