Wolf in Sheep Clothing

Jesus: The Wolf in Sheep's clothing

Sami Zaatari

Christians are fond of quoting the following verse against Islam and the prophet Muhammad:

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. (Matthew 7:15-16)

Perhaps it is time we apply this teaching to Jesus himself, The Jesus of the Gospels that is, and to apply the same method of Christian argumentation against themselves, in fact one will be surprised to see how Jesus excellently matches the very above teaching!

Indeed Jesus came in sheep's clothing; in fact he is often called a lamb! Here are some of the sheep's clothing:

"This I command you, that you love one another." John 15:17

"Jesus replied," 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'" Matthew 19:18-19

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. Matthew 5:44

"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Matthew 26:52

So here you have these lovely peaceful teachings, from loving your enemy, to loving one another, to loving your neighbor as yourself, and that you should not lift your sword, because he who does, shall perish by the sword, so here you have the sheep's clothing. You will often find Christians using many such passages from the Bible to show how lovely and peaceful Christianity is, yet as Jesus himself said, don't be fooled by those who come IN SHEEPS CLOTHING, and now we will see that he perfectly fits that description with these following teachings:

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:I came not to send peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34)

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. (Matthew 7:6)

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. (Luke 19:11-27)

So notice, while Jesus is giving dandy teachings of love, peace, no hate, and no violence, he is also giving a message that says he isn't here for peace, and that his followers should hate everyone, and he even calls those who disagree with his ministry as being dogs and pigs, and then makes the statement that he is going to return back and kill everyone who rejects him! Indeed ladies and gentlemen, the Jesus of the Gospels perfectly fits his own description, and perfectly fits the Christian standard of argumentation.

Now what about the disciples of Jesus? They too also preach love, peace, and coexistence, but again we see they are wolves as well:

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? ... Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord." -- 2 Cor.6:14-17

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2^ND JOHN 1:9-11)

So his disciples even taught that you cannot befriend the unbelievers, don't be yoked with them, for they are darkness, they are Belial (a demon). The disciples also teach that Christians should not welcome unbelievers who differ with their theology into their homes, nor should they even wish them well!

More verses could be provided to show the real ugly face of Christian teachings from the NT, but the above sends the message out already, hence do not be fooled by the sheep's in wolves clothing's, and do not be fooled by missionaries who come preaching about the verses which talk love and so forth while they keep these other passages hidden from you.

And Allah Knows Best!
