Why Jesus Is Not Lord/god by Abdulsalam20(m): 6:50pm On Sep 12, 2014
All four Gospels record Jesus as saying, "Blessed are the peace-makers; they will be called
sons of God."
The word ‘son’ cannot be accepted literally because in the Bible, God apparently addresses
many of his chosen servants as ‘son’ and ‘sons.’ The Hebrews believed God is One, and had
neither wife nor children in any literal sense. Therefore, it is obvious the expression ‘son of God’
merely meant ‘Servant of God’; one who, because of faithful service, was close and dear to God
as a son is to his father.
Christians who came from a Greek or Roman background, later misused this term. In their
heritage, ‘son of God’ signified an incarnation of a god or someone born of a physical union
between male and female gods. This can be seen in Acts 14: 11-13, where we read that when
Paul and Barnabas preached in a city of Turkey, pagans claimed they were gods incarnate.
They called Barnabas the Roman god Zeus, and Paul the Roman god Hermes.
Furthermore, the New Testament Greek word translated as ‘son’ are ‘pias’ and ‘paida’ which
mean ‘servant,’ or ‘son in the sense of servant.’ These are translated to ‘son’ in reference to
Jesus and ‘servant’ in reference to all others in some translations of the Bible. So, consistent
with other verses, Jesus was merely saying that he is God’s servant.
Additional problems with Trinity
To a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human suffering, but
the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In contrast, God does not need to be
tempted and suffer in order to be able to understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all
knowing Creator of man. This is expressed in the verse:
‘And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and I have
heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their pains.’ (Exodus 3:7)
God forgave sin before Jesus’ appearance, and He continues to forgive without any assistance.
When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere repentance to receive forgiveness.
Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before God and be saved is made to all humankind.
‘And there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me. Look to
Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.’ (Isaiah
45:21-22, Jonah 3:5-10)
Biblically, people can receive forgiveness of sins through sincere repentance sought directly
from God. This is true at all times and in all places. There has never been a need for the so-
called inter cessionary role Jesus plays in attaining atonement. The facts speak for themselves.
There is no truth to the Christian belief that Jesus died for our sins and salvation is only
through Jesus. What about the salvation of people before Jesus? Jesus’ death brings neither
atonement from sin, nor is it in any way a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus, there occurred the miracle of the incarnation of God
in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a human being invites a number of
questions. Let us ask the following about the man-God Jesus. What happened to his foreskin
after his circumcision (Luke 2:21) ?
Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh? During his
lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from wounds? Did the cells of his
body die as in ordinary human beings? If his body did not function in a truly human way, he
could not be truly human as well as truly God. Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human
way, this would nullify any claim to divinity. It would be impossible for any part of God, even if
incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God. The everlasting, one God, in
whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or decompose: ‘For I the Lord do not change.’
(Malachi 3:6)
Did Jesus’ flesh dwell in safety after his death?
Unless Jesus’ body never underwent ‘decay’ during his lifetime he could not be God, but if it did
not undergo ‘decay’ then he was not truly human.
Bible says that God is not man
‘God is not a man’ (Numbers 23:19)
‘For I am God, and not man’ (Hosea 11:9)
Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible
‘a man who has told you the truth’ (John 8:40)
‘Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which
God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed’ (Acts 17:31)
‘the man Christ Jesus’ (Tim. 2:5)
The Bible says that God is not a son of man
‘God is not a man nor a son of man’ (Numbers 23:19)
The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man.’
‘so will the son of man be’ (Matthew 12:40)
‘For the son of man is going to come’ (Matthew 16:27)
‘until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom.’ (Matthew 28)
‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)
‘because he is the son of man’ (John 5:27)
In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of people (Job
25:6; Psalm 80:17; 144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).
Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a man, then
becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not have done so.
Remember God is not the author of confusion. Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called
‘son of man’ specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according to
the Bible.
The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me good? No
one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)
And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only One who is
good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ (Matthew 19:17)
Jesus did not teach people that he was God
If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented the man.
Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus denied he was God.
The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)
Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him. The Christian belief that the Father and son
are equal is in direct contrast to the clear words from Jesus.
Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him
‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2)
‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing. Whatsoever you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John
16:23)
‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and
in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him.’ (John 4:23)
If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for himself
Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore, he was not God.
Jesus worshipped the only true God
‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.’ (John
17:3)
‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12)
‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew 20:28)
How did Jesus pray to God?
‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39)
‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and
tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent
submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7)
Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face?
Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man, sane or insane,
prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding ‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only
true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that
Jesus was not God?
The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of the Only True God:
“It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is
straight.” (Quran 3:51)

Disciples did not believe Jesus was God
The Acts of the Apostles in the Bible details the activity of the disciples over a period of thirty
years after Jesus was raised to heaven. Throughout this period, they never referred to Jesus as
God. For instance Peter stood up with the eleven disciples and addressed a crowd saying:
‘Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by
miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.’
(Acts 2:22)
For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God (confirmed In Matthew 12:18)
‘The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.’
(Acts 3:13)
‘God raised up his servant’ (Acts 3:26)
When faced by opposition from the authorities, Peter said
‘We must obey God rather than men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus’ (Acts 5:29-30)
The disciples prayed to God just as they were commanded by Jesus in Luke 11:2, and
considered Jesus to be God’s servant.
‘they raised their voices together in prayer to God. ‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the
heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.’ (Acts 4:24)
‘your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.’ (Acts 4:27)
‘of Your holy servant Jesus.’ (Acts 4:30)
‘I am indeed a servant of God.’ (Quran 19:30)
The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant
‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’ (Matt 12:18) Since
Jesus is God’s servant, Jesus can not be God.
The Bible says that Jesus could not do anything by himself
‘The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father doing.’ (John 5:19)
‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30)
The Bible says that Jesus did not consider himself equal with God
and that God performed miracles through Jesus & Jesus was limited in what he could do:
‘But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such
authority to men.’ (Matt. 9:cool
‘a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed
through Him in your midst.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with
Him.’ (Acts 10:38)
If Christ was God, the Bible would simply say that Jesus did the miracles himself without
making reference to God. The fact that it was God supplying the power for the miracles shows
that God is greater than Jesus.
Also, Jesus was limited in performing miracles
One time when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, the man was not healed after the first attempt,
and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8:22-26).
Once a woman was healed of her incurable bleeding. The woman came up behind him and
touched his cloak, and she was immediately healed. But Jesus had no idea who touched him:
‘At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and
asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ (Mark 5:30)
‘He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.’
(Mark 6:5)
Quite obviously, someone with such limitations can not be God. The power of miracles was not
within Jesus.
The Bible says that at times of weakness angels strengthened Jesus
God ,however, does not need to be strengthened. Human need to be strengthened; God does
not because God is All-Powerful. If Jesus had to be strengthened, he must not be God.
‘An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him - in the garden of Gethsemane’
(Luke 22:43)
‘Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him’ (Mark. 1:13)
‘And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild
beasts, and the angels were ministering to him.’ (Mark 1:13)
The Bible says that Jesus wanted God’s will to be done
‘not my will but Yours be done.’ (Luke 22:42)
‘I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.’ (John 5:30)
‘For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me.’ (John
6:38)
Are some members of the coequal Trinity subservient, and less than equal, to other members?
Even though they have different wills (‘I do not seek my own will’), do they obey without
question the others’ commands (‘the will of Him who sent me’)? Jesus admits to subordinating
his own distinct will, yet according to the Trinitarian doctrine they should all have the same
will. Should one of the triune partners have to forgo his own will in favor of the will of another
member of the Trinity? Should not they all have the exact same will?
The Bible says Jesus regarded himself and God as two
‘I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father.’ (John 8:17-18smiley
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.’ (John 14:1)
If Jesus was God, He would have not have regarded God’s testimony as separate from his own.
The Bible says that Jesus is subordinate to God
‘Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is
man, and the head of Christ is God.’ (1 Corinthians 11:3)
‘When he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who put everything
under him, so that God may be all in all.’ (1 Corinthians 15:28)
Bible says that Jesus grew in wisdom & learning
But God is All Wise & does not need to learn: Jesus grew in wisdom, but God is all wise ‘Great
is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.’ (Psalms 147:5)
‘And Jesus increased in wisdom.’ (Luke 2:52)
God does not need to learn, but Jesus learned: ‘Although he was a son, he learned obedience’
(Heb. 5:cool
Jesus had limited knowledge, but god’s knowledge is infinite. Since Jesus did not know, he was
not all-knowing, and therefore, he cannot be the God whose knowledge is all-encompassing.
‘No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the
Father.’ (Mark 13:32)
Bible says that Jesus was tempted, but God cannot be tempted
’tempted in every way - just as we are’ (Heb. 4:15)
‘for God cannot be tempted by evil’ (James 1:13)
Since God can not be tempted, but Jesus was, therefore, Jesus was not God.
Re: Why Jesus Is Not Lord/god by Abdulsalam20(m): 6:53pm On Sep 12, 2014
Bible says that Jesus’ teachings were from God, not from himself
‘So Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me.’ (John
7:16)
Jesus could not have said this if he were God because the doctrine would have been his.
Bible says that Jesus died, but God cannot die
The Bible teaches that Jesus died. God cannot die. Romans 1:23 and other verses say that God
is immortal. Immortal means, ‘not subject to death.’ This term applies only to God.
Bible says that Jesus lived because of God
‘I live because of the Father.’ (John 6:57)
Jesus cannot be God because he depended on God for his own existence.
Bible says that Jesus’ powers were given to him
‘All power is given unto me.’ (Matt 28:18)
God is all-powerful, no one gives God His powers, otherwise He would not be God because He
would be weak. Therefore, Jesus could not be God.
Bible says that Jesus was taught & commanded by God
‘As my Father hath taught me, I speak these things,’ (John 8:28)
‘The Father, who sent me, he gave me a commandment.’ (John 12:49)
‘I have kept my Father’s commandments.’ (John 15:10)
No one can teach God, otherwise God cannot be All-Knowing and would owe His teacher.
Since Jesus was taught and commanded by God, Jesus cannot be God himself. The teacher
and the student, the commander and the commanded are not one.
Bible says that God made Jesus ‘Lord’!
‘God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ.’ (Acts 2:36)
‘Lord’ is used in many ways in the Bible, and others beside God and Jesus are called ‘Lord.’
For example:
1) property owners (Matt. 20:cool
2) heads of households (Mark 13:35)
3) slave owners (Matt. 10:24)
4) husbands (1 Pet. 3:6)
5) a son called his father Lord (Matt. 21:30)
6) the Roman Emperor was called Lord (Acts 25:26)
7) Roman authorities were called Lord (Matt. 27:63)
‘Lord’ is not the same as ‘God.’ ‘Lord’ (the Greek word is kurios) is a masculine title of respect
and nobility used many times in the Bible. If Jesus was God, then for the Bible to say he was
‘made’ Lord would make no sense.
Bible says that Jesus was lower than angels
‘But we do see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely,
Jesus.’ (Hebrews 2:9)
God, the Creator of angels, can not be lower than His own creation, but Jesus was. Therefore,
Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus called the Father ‘my God’
‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ (Matt. 27:46)
‘I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ (John 20:17)
‘the temple of my God the name of my God the city of my God comes down out of heaven from
my God.’ (Rev. 3:12)
Jesus did not think of himself as God, instead Jesus’ God is the same as ours.
Bible says that God cannot be seen
But Jesus was seen by others ‘no man has seen God at any time.’ (John 1:18)
Bible says twice that Jesus was accused of being God
But he denied it: According to the Bible, on only two instances the Jews opposed Jesus on the
basis that he pretended to be God or equal with God. Had Jesus, may the mercy and blessings
of God be upon him, claimed to be God, he is likely to have been opposed on this basis more
frequently.
Because in these two instances, when charged, in the one case, with making himself God, and
in the other, with making himself equal with God, he denied the charges. In reply to the charge
of being an equal with God, he says immediately:
‘The son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do’; and directly after ‘I can of
mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:19, 30)
In answer to the charge of making himself God, he appeals to the Jews in substance thus: Your
own Scriptures call Moses a god, and your magistrates gods; I am surely not inferior to them,
yet I did not call myself God, but only the ‘son’ of God (John 10:34-36).
This is unlikely to have been Jesus’ actual response. Hastings in ‘The Dictionary of the Bible’
says, ‘Whether Jesus used it of himself is doubtful.’ Grolier’s encyclopedia, under the heading
‘Jesus Christ,’ says, ‘it is uncertain whether the Father/Son language (Mark 18:32; Matt.
11:25-27 Par.; John Passim) goes back to Jesus himself.’ A University of Richmond professor,
Dr. Robert Alley, after considerable research into newly found ancient documents concludes
that:
‘The (Biblical) passages where Jesus talks about the Son of God are later additions. what the
church said about him. Such a claim of deity for himself would not have been consistent with
his entire lifestyle as we can reconstruct. For the first three decades after Jesus’ death
Christianity continued as a sect within Judaism. The first three decades of the existence of the
church were within the synagogue. That would have been beyond belief if they (the followers)
had boldly proclaimed the deity of Jesus.’
Assuming Jesus did say that he was ‘son’ of God. What did it mean? We first need to know the
language of his people, the language of the Jews to whom he was speaking.
The Bible says God had many ‘sons’
First, most people think there are no other verses that contradict or give equal divine sonship to
other persons in the Old or New Testament.
For Jesus to be called son of God, does not make him a true son of God, other wise Adam,
Jacob, Ephraim and many more should also be considered as been sons of God as such they
should be worshiped too according to such method.
Adam: ‘Adam, which was the son of God.’ (Luke 3:38)
Jacob is God’s son and firstborn: ‘Israel is my son, even my firstborn.’ (Exodus 4:22)
Solomon: ‘I will be his father, and he shall be my son.’ (2 Samuel 7:13-14)
Ephraim: ‘for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.’ (Jeremiah 31:9)
is God’s firstborn, common people are called the sons of God: ‘Ye are the children of the Lord
your God’ (Deuteronomy 14:1)

of interesr when we try to establish islamic banking with
interest free loan CAN OPPOSED IT reference l- Imran
{3:130} “O ye who believed! Devour not usury, doubling and
quadrupling (the sum lent). Observe your duty to Allah, that
ye may be successful.” Another message is repeated in:
Surah, Al-Baqara {2:188} “And eat not up your property
among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it to gain the
hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a portion
of the property of others wrongfully.” What does the Christian
book has to say concerning Interest and Bribery? Is it really
there in the Bible? Yes! Why is C.A.N against it? I don’t
know……….. Then, they are the Biggest Anti-Christ that I have
ever seen………….. Exodus 23:8 "And thou shalt take no bribe:
for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and ruins the cause
of those who are the righteous.” Warning against Bribery!
What about Interest? Let’s examine this verse again: Exodus
22:25 “If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that
is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall
ye lay upon him interest.” Similar message is also repeated
in the Book of Deuteronomy: Deuteronomy 23:19 "Thou shalt
not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money,
interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon
interest.” THE BIBLE SAID U SHOULD COVER UR HEAD U
OPPOSE IT( 1 Corinthians 11:5, says that “Every woman who
prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her
head, for that is one and the same as if her head were
shaved) WHEN AREGBESHOLA RAISED THE ISSUE OF

any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a

Bros, u had beta stop argue wat u dont know. Mohammed and Jesus? Their life is a contrast, as in directly opposite to each other. Jesus said d one who is to come will live forever, is Mohammed still alive? jesus said d person wil b a spirit, is Mohammed a spirit?
At least ur Quaran recognise jesus, but av not seen any place wia Mohammed is mention in my bible, Once again, the life of jesus and Mohammed is not equal in any form. Mohammed has wives, Jesus didnt. Jesus said himself that he is d way, d truth and d life, Mohammed dont dare say dat. U claim Jesus is also a messenger like Mohammed yet wat jesus profess abt himself and wat he did, no other person or even ur mohammed dare profess or do it.
Broda, we all know d truth, dont pretend as if u dont know, My youth pastor is a chronic muslim before, u urself cant debate muslim or mohammed wth him den because he eats Quaran as food but glory to God dt he met d saviour. And i av many friends who were muslim that are now christians because they saw d light. They testify d peace dey av neva felt before in dia life. No religion give peace not even christianity but only Jesus
My broda tomoro myt b too late. Jesus love u

Mr Op let's analyze it:
1, Jesus is the son of God
2. He's the heir of God
2. He called HIMSELF the prince of peace
So I'll not be mistaking to call him KING and Nobody like HIMto share the name LORD & GOD. Nigerian ambassador to any country is Nigerian President in that country. I'll only advice you to stop equating the life and personality of Jesus to mohammed, Jesus is Son but mohammed -. I rest my case.

1) you say Jesus is the son of God, okay then you agree with the op that Jesus is not God. Since you already agree with Jesus saying (not quoting exactly) : the Lord our God is one Lord...*end of quote mentioned here* that should translate to Jesus isn't God or Lord
2) you said he is heir to God, okay, according to you then he inherited/would inherit the characteristics of God. What are the qualities of an inheritor though? He has to have the qualities of his successor, the successor haas to step aside (usually maybe by dieing or becoming less suitable for the job) for the inheritor to inherit, and maybe some more that I can't remember. Of course we both don't believe that God can ever die or be inadequate, and dominion is forever His, right? So maybe you need to clarify what exactly Jesus inherited from God so that we can better understand each other
2) *i think you meant 3) smiley prince of peace...no bigi, doesn't translate to Lord or God, the devil is called prince of the world by some christians, I am not sure as to whether that's supported by the bible, but that didn't make them call the devil God or Lord. undecided on second thought, there are some people who do call the devil lord and God, so I rephrase That to say that the devil being the prince of the world doesn't translate to him being the Lord or God
The Nigerian ambassador in any other country is the president? I don't know much about politics, but I know that the Nigerian president only has dominion in Nigeria, which is very unlike God, God is believed to rule supreme over all His creation and He has no one like unto Him...so I should believe that when he sends ambassadors, He retains His authority, God knows best
Re: Why Jesus Is Not Lord/god by jopheezy(m): 11:45am On Sep 13, 2014
@op, you can read the bible but you won't understand without the holy spirit, so stop relating jesus with mohammed

U can't force me into ur radical/ crazy believe. Jesus speaks in parables for your likes not to understand. Jesus came to this world to redemption of the saints not slaves. No mater how many times you read the bible, inasmuch you're to an elect you will be a wanderer. Jesus is Lord
Re: Why Jesus Is Not Lord/god by Akindarchi(m): 6:09pm On Sep 13, 2014

Summary.. Does the word make any sense to you... What's the essence of postin' an unusual lenghty write-up no one 'lld read.. We call this noise.. Wordy noise... I could simply quote all you've written and write "Noise"..and everyone who see's what I've written 'lld fathom there no point given in your usual trash

i just believe that a post being lenghty is not an excuse if what that person wrote is flse you can jst highlight it and prove it wrong

To highlight possible points, I'd have to read your posts. No way in Adam am I goin' to read your tongue-tied write-up. You could not succeed bloggin'..it's so evident you cannot succed.

........no matter how long the articles of you guys are i always try to read it so that i can answer them perfectly.........and that is how be suppose to be ddoing and not that we will be giving filthy excuses........LONG ARTICLE DOESNT MATTER

Oh! It does matter. Not everyone 'lld be patient enough to read your lengthy BS. Xcapist admitted in a thread his post was bulky..he knew such might set people off.. Maybe you should learn from him..
