In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Introduction
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon the noblest of the prophets.
Before Jesus Christ (son of Mary) began preaching, the people in Palestine regarded him as a human like themselves. When he began preaching to his people, the Jews, they divided into two groups:
The first group believed in him and accepted his message; they believed that he was a human prophet sent to them by God.
The second group rejected him and did not believe in him; they accused him of being a false prophet.
A few years after Jesus was taken up to heaven, along came Paul, who claimed that Jesus was God and the son of God. His followers became a third group.
•    The response to this idea (that Jesus is God and the son of God) will be presented in thirty arguments, eleven of which are textual (from the Old Testament and New Testament), sixteen of which are rational (based on reason, logic and sound thinking), and two of which are historical (that is, there is historical proof to indicate that this doctrine is a human invention and does not come from the Lord of humankind, namely God, and that Jesus was not aware of it when he was on Earth). The final, concluding argument is proof from the Qur’an which proves that Jesus was human and a Prophet, not God or the son of God.

I have divided this research into five sections, according to the types of proof, as follows:
•    Section 1: Textual proof
•    Section 2: Rational proof
•    Section 3: Historical proof
•    Section 4: Qur’anic proof
•    Section 5: Appendices
