Is Jesus the Lamb of God?
(Peace Be Upon Him)
John is the only gospel that portrays Jesus as
"Lamb of God" but Jesus never applied the
title for himself. Augustine developed the
titles for the Roman Catholic Church; he
also developed the "original sin". The
apostles never claimed Jesus was God-
incarnate, let alone God's lamb. There was a
Jewish sect called the Ebionites who
accepted Jesus as the Messiah, but they
never said he was God's son.
Jesus denied sacrifice (Matt. 9:13, 12:7,
Hosea 6:6) and preached the Law of Moses
(Matt. 5:17- 20) which contradicts
Atonement (Deu. 24:16, Psalms 40:6, Micah
6:7-8 ). Christians believe the exact opposite
of the Bible (Proverbs. 21:18 ).
John the Baptist is forced to call Jesus the
"Lamb of God" (John 1:29) , but John was a
strict Essene; he never could’ve used this
pagan title! Jesus is called "Lamb of God"
because he took away the sins of mankind,
yet the title is false because Jesus was not
crucified (Psalms 20:6) so therefore he was
not the Lamb of God.
All human beings are servants of God (1
Peter 2:16) , so it’s blasphemy to worship
Jesus. The Gospels record Jesus saying:
'These people honor me with their lips, but
their hearts are far from me. They worship
me in vain; their teachings are but rules
taught by men.' (Matthew 15:8- 10)
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do
not do what I say? I will show you what he
is like who comes to me and hears my words
and puts them into practice. He is like a
man building a house, who dug down deep
and laid the foundation on rock. When a
flood came, the torrent struck that house
but could not shake it, because it was well
built. But the one who hears my words and
does not put them into practice is like a
man who built a house on the ground
without a foundation. The moment the
torrent struck that house, it collapsed and
its destruction was complete.". (Luke
6:47- 49)
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,'
will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only
he who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven. Many will say to me on that day,
'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your
name, and in your name drive out demons
and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell
them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from
me, you evildoers!' (Matthew 7:21- 23)
The origin of “Lamb of God” is the Book of
Revelations, which is completely unreliable.
"Four times the author identifies himself as
John (1:1 ,4,9; 22:8) ..... In the third century,
however, an African bishop named
Dionysius compared the language, style and
thought of the Apocalypse (Revelation) with
that of the other writings of John and
decided that the book could not been
written by the apostle of John. He suggested
that the author was a certain John the
Presbyter, whose name appears elsewhere
in ancient writings. Although many today
follow Dionysius in his view of authorship,
the external evidence seems overwhelmingly
supportive of the traditional view.
