Thank God you can identify that .

But why did the god of Islam claimed he is our god ?

To Allah Jesus is not God but a messenger whom he sent...

Christians see Jesus as God

That was what I thought as well and that was the thought of Muhammad .
Ordinarily , it is absurd to call a human being God .
But what did the quran say about the birth of Jesus ?

Can a woman give birth without a father ?

Who then is the father of Jesus ? Man or God ?

He didn't have same as Adam but he had mother Mary. He also had a God..

Jesus was called son of Adam, son of David, son of Abraham, son of Joseph, son of Man also son of God. Yet all are not his father...

Even though we as Muslims don't really trust the Bible like the Christians yet there instance that showed Jesus was not God...


Mark 12
28 Then one of the scribes came up and listened to them disputing with one another, and, noticing that Jesus answered them fitly and admirably, he asked Him, Which commandment is first and most important of all [[h]in its nature]?

29 Jesus answered, The first and principal one of all commands is: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord;

30 And you shall love the Lord your God [i]out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your [j]life) and out of and with all your mind (with [k]your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. [l]This is the first and principal commandment.(E

I believe Allah is not saying christians should not follow Jesus but how did they arrive at Jesus being God while there is only one God...

As one reads the Gospel book of the bible one see that Jesus status kept increasing. John viewed Jesus higher in status than mark, Mathew and Luke.

He was the only one who said "in the beginning was the word and the word was God... "

I believe if Christians truly want to believe bible they should learn the language with which it was written they should read the old testament and new testament in the language it was written and not translated one....

The thing is did Jesus viewed himself as God while on earth?

The Jehovah witnesses follow Jesus yet do not see Jesus as God. The trintarians follows Jesus and see him as God how did that even happen..

Jesus was never called the son of Adam and Abraham.
Adam was created from the dust as the first man . No one expected him to have a father .
Was Jesus created like Adam ? Everyone born of a woman must have a father .

MY QUESTION WAS , IS THERE ANYONE BORN OF A WOMAN WITHOUT A FATHER ?

Joseph was an adoptive father from the lineage of David . Jesus is called son of David by lineage since Joseph the adoptive father had David as his ancestor .

Someone born of the Spirit belongs to the Spirit.
Jesus had to be born this way for a REASON which is not clear to Muhammad and Allah .

What was the reason Allah made Isa to come without a father ? Did he not know it will create misunderstanding ?

How many President do we have in Nigeria at any particular term of office ?

One president ?

We have One God because He is the Creator of everything . He has the power to make anyone to be like Him . God created Jesus and gave him power to be like Him .

We children of God are gods . That is what the psalm is saying :

Psalm 82:6 KJV
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Jesus was reminding the Jews about the above scripture . He was just telling them that the scripture call you gods how much more the one who God sanctified and sent to the world :

John 10:33-36 KJV
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

What did Jesus meant here is it compulsory to believe him or just have faith in what he did since he is doing good deeds
John 10
37 If I am not doing the works [performing the deeds] of My Father, then do not believe Me [do not adhere to Me and trust Me and rely on Me].

38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe Me or have faith in Me, [at least] believe the works and have faith in what I do, in order that you may know and understand [clearly] that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father [One with Him

I guess Jesus is saying

John 10
24 So the Jews surrounded Him and began asking Him, How long are You going to keep us in doubt and suspense? If You are really the Christ (the Messiah), tell us so plainly and openly.

The jew disbelieved in him because he called himself messiah and they felt he was not the messiah they were expecting that he was blaspheming not that he was God....

If I were a Jew and Jesus called himself God I won't believe either. How can God do that after he said

The purpose for which they wanted to stone Jesus was because he said '' I am the Son of God ''.
and also for saying , '' I and my Father are one ''.

But Jesus did not dispute this . He told them that we ordinary humans are called gods by God , how much more him .

As per Isiah 43 :10 above , this is not saying there are no other gods or God .
God himself said there are other gods by saying to the Israelites , ''bow down not to other gods ''
God also made Moses a god to Pharaoh .
God also called we human beings gods .
But what God was saying in the Scripture above is that those other gods are POWERLESS can't be compared with Him because those are idols or ordinary human beings

The same Isiah said 44 : 6 -10 reads :

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
[9] They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
[10] Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?

Jesus is doing the things of God and not his . He said he and his Father are ONE.
Jesus called God his God and his Father .

After he ascended to heaven , he said EXACTLY WHAT IS WRITTEN IN ISAIAH 44 : 6

Isaiah 44:6 KJV
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Revelation 1:17-18 KJV
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Despite this statement of Jesus after his death , he did not make himself equal to God . He still called God his God in Revelation 3.

God created this world by HIS WORD OR COMMAND . This does not mean that all those things just sprang up by themselves . It means someone was carrying out those command . For this reason , Jesus was called the WORD OF GOD.

GOD SAID , LET US CREATE MAN .... God was talking to His only Son .
Jesus said he is not equal to his Father .

It is still one God Jesus is serving and it is the same God we are serving .

If we ordinary men are gods , how about the one who created you and I through the command of God . Is he not God to us .

God is a title . Jesus is more than qualified to bear that title.

More Revelation from the old testaments :

Proverbs 8:22-36 KJV
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. [
23] I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
[24] When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
[25] Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
[26] While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
[27] When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
[28] When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
[29] When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: [30] Then I was by him, as one brought up with him : and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
[31] Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
[32] Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
[33] Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
[34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
[35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
[36] But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Take you time to read them meditate on them.

More revelation :

Daniel 3:22-25 KJV
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
[23] And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
[24] Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. [25] He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

John 8:56-59 KJV
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
[57] Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? [58] Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
[59] Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

ACCOUNT OF WHEN ABRAHAM SAW JESUS :
Genesis 18:1-3 KJV
And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
[2] And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
[3] And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

HE SAW THREE MEN BUT CALLED ONLY ONE ''MY LORD'' .

Mathew 4
8 Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence, preeminence, and excellence) of them.
9 And he said to Him, These things, all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and do homage and worship me.

10 Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve


Jesus being one with God does not mean he is God. According to the Bible the angels are also son of God but it does not mean God gave birth to them it is just a title.

Satan would never have told God the father to worship him...

Job 2:1
1 AGAIN THERE was a day when the sons of God [the angels] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (the adversary and the accuser) came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

When it comes to worship only God the father has the right to be worshipped and not Jesus or Satan...

Why was Satan cast down from heaven ? He was cast down because he wanted to be like God.

Why do you think there are different gods in this world ?

You realised the God of the Christians are different from the God of you Muslims . Does that not make one of them the devil ?

What is the reason for this religion , if not to bow down and worship the devil .

The worship honour and glory that Angels and humans give to God is what Satan wanted before he was cast down into the earth :

Isaiah 14:12-15 KJV
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! [13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: [14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [15] Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

He wanted to be like the most High.

Jesus is worshipping God the Father and God the Father is the one that has promoted Jesus Christ His Son to that level where you and I plus the host of heaven must bow down to and worship .

Philippians 2:7-11 KJV
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER .

Jesus said no MAN has ever seen God the Father except him .
The Bible makes it clear that no man can see the Father and live but the Bible still said that some men saw God and lived . Why ?

Exodus 24:9-12 KJV
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: [10] And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. [11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink. [12] And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

This is an old testament confirming the new testament.

Abraham saw Angels and the Lord Jesus Christ.
He bowed down and called him Lord.

THE GLORY OF THE FATHER IS BEYOND HUMAN BEING . IT IS THE SON THAT DOES MOST OF THE EARTHLY WORKS FOR THE FATHER .

What you don't know is that the Qur'an had come to fulfill the prophesy of Jesus (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him).

Read John 16:12-14; "I (Jesus) still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come. He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify me, for He will take of what is mine and declare it to you".
This is about known HISTORY of Israel not some strange NEW knowledge. The Qur'an, I'm sorry goofed on this story. The average Muslim doesn't know because he wouldn't read the Taurat!

@ haekymbahd , are you ready to give your life to Jesus Christ and experience the love of God? undecided

The Bible says :

Acts 4:12 KJV
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 3:17-18 KJV
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Don't harden your heart to the truth . Come back to God and be saved from eternal damnation that awaits unbelievers .

I have chosen Allah has my God he has convinced me enough..

Allah is one of the gods of the pagans in Arabs.

This was not the name God gave to Moses when he encountered Him .

Allah is a proper noun . It is a real name like James , John etc Allah does not mean god. God is a title .''God'' is a common noun .

Did you ever asked yourself , who gave the Arabs that name , Allah , which they call during their satanic worships b4 Islam came .

Why are the Muslims following the rituals or deeds of the pagans like :

Tawaf of the Kabah , Tawaf of Safa and Mawah, kissing of the black stone , use of a prayer beads , placement of Crescent moon and star on mosques roof tops ,use of a pagan Idol name Allah etc.

What miracle did Allah perform through Muhammad that we can make reference to as a sign of divinity ? Nothing .

Lastly , we shall know true prophet of God by their fruits .
What were the fruit of Muhammad ? Good or bad?

He took the wife of his son
He married a 6 years old girl when he was 50 years old.
He was a murderer .
He lied severally .
He was accused of stealing
He drank human blood .
He was a bewitched prophet
He was spiritually powerless .
