Quran 3:55 – Domination Of Followers Of Christ Over Jews
This superiorty is not superiority in piety, rather it is political superiority or political dominance of the followers of Christ over Bani-Israel. Having domination solely does not guarantee their piety in any way or their righteousness, neither does it prove that they are completely monotheists. It is a declaration of punishment for Bani-Israel , not a free pass for Christians w.r.t their piety . Take another example where Quran 17:5 uses the words ” عِبَادًا لَّنَآ اُولِیْ بَاْسٍ شَدِیْدٍ ” which means “ My powerful men ” referring to those people who inflicted punishment on Bani-Israel. Now we all know that those were oppressors and aggressors ( specifically Nebuchadnezzar II ) but God used them to achieve one of his divine objectives. Just the way calling them “My Powerful Men” is no certificate of righteousness, same is the case with giving followers of Christ political dominance over Jews. Both of these are punishments on Bani-israel as per divine scheme of God. __ For comments of Ghamidi Sahab , please refer to the video below from 1:04:52 to 1:06:30 https://youtu.be/j4S6q-azFqc?t=3892
