The Failure

The Christian God is a Failure

Sami Zaatari

If anyone has read the Gospels one would know about the parable of the vineyard, this is a well known parable in the Gospels, and is often quoted by Christians. What makes this parable very interesting is that it proves that the Christian God is a failure, thereby proving the very book is false, and also proving that this Christian faith is a failure as well.

Let us read the parable together:

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.' And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. (Mark 12:1-8)

So according to the parable we see that a certain man plants a vineyard, and over time he sends his servants to collect the fruits from the vineyard, however so the people beat the servants, and sometimes they even kill the servants. So eventually the master decides to send his very own son, he assumes that since this is his son, they will show more respect, yet no such thing happens, the people become even more motivated to kill because the master is now sending his son!

Now the entire story is a parable, the man who planted the vineyard is basically God, the servants he sends that are beaten, and killed, are the prophets. The son whom the master eventually decides to send is Jesus.

Yet as we have just seen, the entire plan was a complete failure, God said that by sending his son the people will respect him, yet no such thing happens, the son gets the very same treatment as the servants did, he is beaten and killed off, hence God's judgement and assumption was a complete mistake, hence God's plan failed big time, the son was not respected, he was killed like the rest!

The failures don't end, according to Christians, the son who is Jesus is also God, and according to Christians God decided to become a man (Jesus) and come down earth so as to get closer to man, rather than sending prophets and angels, God would come down himself, so there could be more understanding. As Anis Shorrosh once said, to understand the ant, you must become the ant, or something similar to that. Yet as we can see, God becoming a man, and coming down to earth made no difference, the people still treated him like other prophets, and still oppressed him, and eventually killed him, hence God's plan at reaching a better understanding of each other didn't work, hence his entire reasoning to come down to earth was flawed, there was no difference between him and the prophets.

Furthermore there is another main issue, the master of the vineyard keeps sending servants, they keep getting killed or beaten, so then to fix this problem he says I will send my son, now wait a minute, why didn't the owner just go down himself?!

The parable also commits a mistake; the parable makes the assumption that God has only one son, as the parable states, the master keeps sending his servants, and right at the end he decides to send his only son. If anyone reads the Jewish Bible, which is linked the Christian Bible as the Christians say, and is the very same God, then one would read that this god has other sons, in other words, the man of the vineyard shouldn't have one son only, but many, as we read from the Jewish Bible:

And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn (Exodus 4:22)

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men (2 Samuel 7:14)

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6)

So the parable of the vineyard makes a mistake in assuming that God only has one son when it is quite evident that this God and master had more than one son, which makes us question the authors integrity, why was the author making things up to make this son seem unique?

So in conclusion this parable proves that the God of the NT is a failure, making Christianity a failure, it also proves that the author made a mistake as well, a mistake that seems intentional, hence this author cannot even be trusted, it's a lose lose situation all round.

And Allah Knows Best!
