168sons of Jonah and of Zebedee in the list of his disciples is totally strange to the other Evangelists(Luke vi 1-11).The four Gospels of the Trinitarian Churches contain many contradictory statements about the intercourse between the two cousin John Prophets. In the Fourth Gospel we read that the Baptist did not know who Jesus (pbuh) was until after his baptism, when a Spirit like a pigeon came down and dwelt in him (John i); whereas St. Luke tells us that the Baptist, while a foetusin the womb of his mother, knew and worshipped Jesus(pbuh) , who was also a younger foetus in the womb of Mary (Luke i. 44). Then, again, we are told that the Baptist while in prison, where he was beheaded (Matt. xi. xiv), did not know the real nature of the mission of Jesus (pbuh) !There is a mysterious indication hidden in the questions put to the Prophet Yahya by the Priests and the Levites. They ask the Baptist “Art thou Messiah? Art thou Elijah?” And when he answers “No!” they say: “If thou art neither the Messiah, nor Elijah, and nor that Prophet, why then dost thou baptize?” (John i). It will therefore be noticed that, according to the Fourth Gospel, John the Baptist (pbuh) was neither the Messiah not Elijah, not that Prophet! And I venture to ask the Christian Churches, who believe that the inspirer of all these contradictory statements is the Holy Ghost -i.e. the third of the three gods- whom did those Jewish Priests and the levites mean by “and that Prophet”? And if you pretend not to know whom the Hebrew clergy meant, do your popes and patriarchs know who “and that Prophet” is? If not, than what is the earthly use of these spurious and interpolated Gospels? If, on the contrary, you do know who that Prophet is, then why do you keepsilent?In the above quotation (John i) it is expressly stated that the Baptist said he was not a Prophet, whereas Jesus (pbuh) is reported to have said, “no men born of women were ever greater than John” (Matt. xi).
