چکیده:
The claim that Jesus did not have a physical body and was not crucified was first made by Christian Gnostic denominations, such as the Manichaeans who joined the Christian denomination. This is the fundamental difference between Manichaean Christianity and traditional Christianity. This descriptive-qualitative article firstly summarizes the process of designing the divine incarnation in the body of Jesus Christ based on the Christian Gospels and Epistles, and then introduces the three Jesus that the Manichaeans believed in. Next, the interplay of the two religions in the design of the image of Jesus as Savior was examined based on the texts found in Africa in early centuries. The Manichaean debate with St. Augustine about the material or divine incarnation of Jesus at the time of creation and crucifixion, based on the Gospel, the Epistles of Paul, and the Manichaean texts, was the basis of the analysis and showed that the process of forming the abstract concept of salvation was a reciprocal influence among Christians and Manichaeans in the first centuries AD.

The debates of Manichaean heretics with the Augustinian tradition regarding the material or divine incarnation of Jesus peace be upon him at the time of creation and crucifixion, relying on the contents of the Gospel, the letters of Paul, and Manichaean texts, formed the basis of the analysis and showed that the process of forming the abstract concept of the Savior was a two-way influence between Christians and Manichaeans in the early centuries AD.
A theory that was raised again in the middle of the last century and is still discussed in our time with slight revisions concerns Manichaeism, which was first accepted and functioned by Saint Augustine, and was subsequently subjected to his criticism and struggle; in fact, it is a Christianized form of an original religion: a type of Manichaean school belonging to the Numidian region (Dakra, 2000, p.
The doctrinal contents that the Manichaean ispasag (Faustus) defends through texts in a reasoned manner can be divided into several sets, through which we can reach these subheadings: the fundamental rejection of the Old Testament; the influence of Satan; a Christology that considers the material incarnation of Jesus rejected and accepts only the spiritual and metaphysical Christ; the discourses present in the Gospels; and the writings of Paul.
