240 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad The Exaggeration of the Gospels However, a question that calls for contemplation is why the Gospel writers have not shed light on this account with integrity. This is against the demands of hon - esty. In one instance, a Gospel writer states that Christ has done so many works that if every one of them were written down, the whole world would not have room to contain them. However, one cannot help but lament the sense of this per - son, because this one sentence alone has exposed the true nature of the Gospels. It is these sorts of exaggerations with which the Gospel is replete, because after all, how amusing is it to suggest that the works performed over a span of three years cannot be contained in the world if written down. When these actions were able to fit into a finite period of time, why can they not be limited in terms of space? It is this sort of foul matter with which the boil of Christianity, as it were, is filled. There is a time when boils ultimately burst. The Christian faith is also like a boil which is filled with pus, so it seems to shine from the surface, but now the time has come for it to burst; and its inner filth will become apparent. Religious Freedom in the Time of the British Government The era of the Sikhs has just passed, which was a time in which civility had dis - appeared completely. There were no wise people who could be said to practise what they preach. If anyone held reservations or asked questions, edicts declaring them worthy of death would be passed against them. But now, God Almighty has showered His grace and has appointed a civilised, decent and wise government to rule over us that has sought to govern with justice and equity. It has benefited all peoples by giving the gift of religious freedom. Now a time has come when peo - ple can raise questions on religious matters and they are not harassed and every questioner is able to receive an answer. The Purpose of the Advent of the Promised Messiah as When the time moved forward in this manner, and when all the ways and means for the propagation of truth became available, Allah the Exalted appointed me and sent me to make Islam victorious over all other communities. p. 500 p. 506 َ ِت َْْھَ ْلَْمَْو ْي َ ُل َ ِع ٰ ِض َ ُق ْ ْي َِتِ ْل ُ َك ِ ْس ْ َم ُ ْي َفَ
