AntiChristian:


I am correct that if Jesus is 100% God and 100% man then he is greater than his father who is simply 100% God.

Even at that your Logic does not work! "The father is greater than I"



Read the context of the verse from the beginning Rev 1:4-5. It shows the reference is to God not Jesus as Jesus was mentioned in verse 5.



The "He" in bold is undefined. It can refer to Jesus or God.
And these verses does not make Jesus God still.

No need to mention this since you don't care. I am anti Christian not antichrist.
The real Christ does not know anything like trinity Christianity.

We are not in the same world. Shalom!

You can't believe in some part of Jesus and disbelieve in some part, Christ called such people Hypocrites. I have been able to show comprehensively that the islamic Allah is distinctively different from that of the Christian Allah. We are not and can never serve the same God. Good night!

Jesus was not killed by Christians but by people who thought they knew God more than Him. Truth is, who will be saved will be saved and those who will be condemn will be. For me it is Jesus or nothing, my life solely depend on him any other thing short of this is a complete NO. Stay in peace.

Your illah cannot be the Father of Jesus cos he clearly said in quran 112:1-4 that he is impotent. Is that not clear enough? Or am i the writer of the quran? Why is it so difficult for you guys to understand that you CANNOT force your believe on me?
Your religion was only founded far 500 years away and you want to teach your extreme great grand fathers what you know nothing about. Is it not clear enough for you to know that anyone who denies Christ is an ANTICHRIST? The power to understand the supernatural is totally taken away from you and it is not me prerogative to request for it on your behalf, so, if you like keep your distance. I am an absolute believer of everything Christ.

This same tactics is employed by the devil to deceive the saints of God and you are employing same strategy. Jesus actually have a name for you guys but i will not mention it. You quote the bible as if you believe in it, just mind your quran please and stay clear from my garden of eden.

Muslims KNOW NOTHING about JESUS CHRIST! What they know about JESUS is like a basket full of water. God has made it so interesting that they lack reasoning and common sense when it comes to this (apologies if you like).
CHECK THIS OUT!

Jn 14:8-11
Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and then we shall be satisfied.' Jesus said to him,

9.
'Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? 'Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, "Show us the Father"?

10.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I say to you I do not speak of my own accord: it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his works.

11.
You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe it on the evidence of these works

Observe that what Phillip demanded to know was to see the Father or that the Son should reveal the Father, how come the Son suddenly attribute the Father to be Himself? That is to say Jesus is the absolute and true reflection of the Father or if you like just as the master said and i quote I Am in the Father and the Father is in Me. (I AM).
We cannot use our limited knowledge and human way of reasoning to decipher the absolute attribution of God. God is God in the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Shalom!

stop spewing trash no man has ever seen Allah yet. God is not Jesus, Jesus had been seen but not God himself. Jesus was a messenger/prohet i.e was sent by God and whoever beleive him (Jesus) then Allah will abide with such person. You can't see God (Allah).

1 John 4
12 No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us!

13 By this we come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) in Him and He in us: because He has given (imparted) to us of His [Holy] Spirit.

14 And [besides] we ourselves have seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son [as the] Savior of the world.

15 Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God.

If the Father was Jesus why did Jesus say the father forsake him on the cross it was because the Father in him left him at that moment. So Jesus is not the father. If you beleive the father will abide in you just like he abide in Jesus.

Mathew 27
46 And about the ninth hour (three o'clock) Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?--that is, My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me [leaving Me [l]helpless, forsaking and failing Me in My need]?




Good day friend, the first and most basic fact in Christianity is this: Allah is not Jehova, and Jehova is not Allah. The implication of this is that one of the two is not God. A second implication of it is that the followers of one or the other are worshipping a non-existing God and are living in deceit, that is they have been wholly and completely deceived.The third implication of this is that the Holy book of one or the other is a book of lies and deciet.

Now to the OP., Jesus is many things.

1. He is an old testament prophetet
He was a prophet given unto Isreal when the old testament was still in force. He came to fulfil the old testament, lay it aside and kickstart a new testament.

Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

All Bible scholars agree that the word prophet in the above verse refers to Jesus that is why it's first letter is always capitalised in all translations. Morever Peter quoted the same scripture during his sermon to the crowd that gathered after he performed a miracle at the beautiful gate in reference to Jesus.

Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Also, Jesus was correctly addressed as a prophet in the Gospel.

Matthew 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.



2. He was the son of David
to
Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:



3. He was the son of Joseph

Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.


4. He was the Son of God

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?



5. He was God
Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


6. He was the King of Isreal

Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.


So, it's all a matter of perspective. All the above are true about Jesus.

Ok. For clarification, when we say Jesus is God what we mean is that Jesus is a Deity. God - a deity, gave birth to Jesus-a deity. The father - God and Jesus are two different deities. Two different persons each of which are God.

Jesus said several times that God was his father. That was one prime reason he was crucified. The Jews avered that God does not have a child, all God has are servants. They futher declared that by calling God his father Jesus was speaking plasphemy and as such deserves to die.

The Jews understood very clearly that if God were to have a child, his child would also be God. So, they were angry with Jesus for calling God his father because that also meant he was calling himself God.

ADDED LATER:
See relevant scriptures

John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 10:33 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. 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

okay, you can't be certain that they are or not the same because.

Exodus 6
2 And God said to Moses, I am the Lord.

3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My [a]name the Lord [Yahweh] I did not make Myself known to them [in acts and great miracles].

Before Moses no one knew Yahwe what Adam,Noah, Isaac, Jacob knew was God Almighty (Almighty Allah). GOD told Moses his name was Yahwe only because Moses asked had Moses not asked he would still have been Allah to Moses. Now about Jesus judging from the words of Jesus alone Jesus mentioned Allah more he hardly mentioned the name Yahwe.

Why would God reveal himself has God Almighty when he knew there are other gods. It was because no idol (gods) could respond to the name Allah only the creator can all other gods have their particular name Allah was just a title. There can be only one Allah only only one being can respond to the name Allah because there is only one God


nencounter10:


4. He was the Son of God
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Ye are gods meaning he was not the only son of God. Now Allah said Jesus was not the only begotten like christians claim he didn't beget any. If christians won't call Angels, beleivers, Adam and isreal God yet they were all sons of God. Jesus is not God either.

which God was Jesus was he the Almighty God or amongst the gods representing God on earth considering Psalm 82

Psalm 82
1 GOD STANDS in the assembly [of the representatives] of God; in the midst of the magistrates or judges He gives judgment [as] among the gods.

6 I said, You are gods [since you judge on My behalf, as My representatives]; indeed, all of you are children of the Most High.(A)

7 But you shall die as men and fall as one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth! For to You belong all the nations.


Mark 19
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [[m]essentially and perfectly [n]morally] good? There is no one [[o]essentially and perfectly [p]morally] good--except God alone.



nencounter10:

what does deity means
John 17
3 And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) [b]You, the only true and real God,
and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.

No, if God were to have a son does not mean he will be God

Exodus 4
22 And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord, Israel is My son, even My firstborn.

Psalm 82
6 I said, You are gods [since you judge on My behalf, as My representatives]; indeed, all of you are children of the Most High.

Luke 20
36 For they cannot die again, but they are [n]angel-like and [o]equal to angels. And being sons of and [p]sharers in the resurrection, they are sons of God.


Being sons of God does not mean one is God that was why Christians fabricated the term only begotten son of God. Isreal, Jesus Adam, Angels were all messengers of God.


[b]Word “Begotten” is a corruption [an addition] (RSV 32 Christians Scholars) & Word “Son” is Corruption [fabricated from Choose] (NIV Christian Scholars) and Trinity 1 John 5:6-7 is a Corruption (RSV 32 Christians Scholars)
Choice left is only Islam a true religion
Lets see
John 3:16 Begotten Son in King James Version is a Corruption and Word begotten has been removed by revised standards versions 32 Christians scholars backed uo by 50 Christians denominations of highest imminent
This confirms the corruption into bible because here is a link to read RSV Bible Preface Yourself and have a look what your own scholars says about King James Version:
http://www.bible-researcher.com/rsvpreface.html
If you do not have time to visit above link then here is a brief sample of RSV scholars: they Say...........
Yet the King James Version has grave defects. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the development of Biblical studies and the discovery of many manuscripts more ancient than those upon which the King James Version was based, made it manifest that these defects are so many and so serious as to call for revision........
John 3:16 the word "begotton" jesus was a "begotton son" of God has been removed by Christians themselves from the bible in RSV bible. According to 32 Christians scholars of the highest eminence, backed by 50 different Christian co-operating denominations said this begotten word in john 3:16 (dictionary mean-act of low level of animal sex) is fabrication, human made addition, misinterpretation, and it is wrong and by those Christian they removed this word begotten from revised standard version of bible (RSV) [/b]

Alright I wish I don't have to reply this maybe after this I will try not to reply anymore everyone is entitled to his or her own beleive honestly.

John 5
30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord--but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.

Allah SWT said:

"And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."

Jesus can't do nothing by himself he needs the permission of God.

Allah is not the Christian God that is composed of three persons. Allah is one and only God that is indivisible, needs no son or helper/partner to do anything.

Also, Jesus was correctly addressed as a prophet in the Gospel.

Matthew 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

Jesus was a Prophet. Islam agrees to this. But how was Prophet Jesus like Moses? Moses had wives, father, Children, had a system of governance, lead people, addressed Kings, had revealed laws from God, etc.

Moses was not like Jesus as he was not a son of God, not among your trinity persons, not 100% God + 100% human at the same time.



2. He was the son of David
to
Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:


David did not give birth to Jesus. We may say he was his ancestor. Jesus had no earthly father.

3. He was the son of Joseph

Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Jesus was an adopted son of Joseph. No where was Jesus called with Joseph's name. Jesus had no earthy father.
Catholics would have worshiped Joseph too as Father of God as they do ask Mary Mother of God to pray for them sinners...


4. He was the Son of God
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Why does God needs son? Human need son to multiply.

Being "son of God" was just a metaphor! How did God gave birth to Jesus?

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Matt 5:9
God is above having sons for He is able to do all things!


5. He was God
Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Jesus never said this. Paul said this in the letter he wrote to the Philippians.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word was with God (Theon), and the Word was God (Theos). 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Where does it mention Jesus in the above? The words translated to God were different. See above in bold. Jesus is not even same as God from this verse.


6. He was the King of Isreal

Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

No one appointed him King in Israel. He was not coronated nor crowned except in mockery. It was Jews that eventually killed him on the cross according to your Bible.


Ok. For clarification, when we say Jesus is God what we mean is that Jesus is a Deity. God - a deity, gave birth to Jesus-a deity. The father - God and Jesus are two different deities. Two different persons each of which are God.

How does this make sense? God give birth? How? Two different persons which both are God, one gave birth to the other, the father is God 100%, son is God 100% and Human 100% which makes him greater than his father?

Jesus said several times that God was his father. That was one prime reason he was crucified. The Jews avered that God does not have a child, all God has are servants. They futher declared that by calling God his father Jesus was speaking plasphemy and as such deserves to die.

The Jews understood very clearly that if God were to have a child, his child would also be God. So, they were angry with Jesus for calling God his father because that also meant he was calling himself God.

ADDED LATER:
See relevant scriptures

John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 10:33 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. 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

The Jews were angry because Jesus refused to speak to them in the language they understand. Why?

Mark 4:10-12
When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables 12so that," 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'

Look at the context of the statement from John 10: 29-31
My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.
Even the Jews he was preaching to started to stone him...

In John 5:30 Jesus said:
I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.

“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. John 14:28

A father can't be greater that his son and also be one with him!
So what does "I and my Father are one" really mean here?

It is the unity of purpose! God send Jesus as He sent Moses, Abraham, etc.
Jesus was a Prophet not God!

Remember Jesus had a God (Theon)
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God (Theon) and your God (Theon).’” John 20:17

Jesus's father was their father
Jesus's God was their God
This logically makes them sons of God too.

Muslims KNOW NOTHING about JESUS CHRIST! What they know about JESUS is like a basket full of water. God has made it so interesting that they lack reasoning and common sense when it comes to this (apologies if you like).
CHECK THIS OUT!

Jn 14:8-11
Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and then we shall be satisfied.' Jesus said to him,

9.
'Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? 'Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, "Show us the Father"?

10.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I say to you I do not speak of my own accord: it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his works.

11.
You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe it on the evidence of these works

Observe that what Phillip demanded to know was to see the Father or that the Son should reveal the Father, how come the Son suddenly attribute the Father to be Himself? That is to say Jesus is the absolute and true reflection of the Father or if you like just as the master said and i quote I Am in the Father and the Father is in Me. (I AM).
We cannot use our limited knowledge and human way of reasoning to decipher the absolute attribution of God. God is God in the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Shalom!

So why did Jesus answered Phillip that "So have i been with you all these while Phillip and you still don't know me" when he knows what phillip want him to show them was just the Father for them to be satisfied? Can you explain to me why Jesus assumed Himself to be the Father? Or is it possible that Jesus was deceiving them?

You are truly Christian.

The Biblical Jesus said same thing.

Mark 4:10-12
When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables 12so that," 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'

Allah is not the Christian God that is composed of three persons. Allah is one and only God that is indivisible, needs no son or helper/partner to do anything.




Jesus was a Prophet. Islam agrees to this. But how was Prophet Jesus like Moses? Moses had wives, father, Children, had a system of governance, lead people, addressed Kings, had revealed laws from God, etc.

Moses was not like Jesus as he was not a son of God, not among your trinity persons, not 100% God + 100% human at the same time.



David did not give birth to Jesus. We may say he was his ancestor. Jesus had no earthly father.



Jesus was an adopted son of Joseph. No where was Jesus called with Joseph's name. Jesus had no earthy father.
Catholics would have worshiped Joseph too as Father of God as they do ask Mary Mother of God to pray for them sinners...




Why does God needs son? Human need son to multiply.

Being "son of God" was just a metaphor! How did God gave birth to Jesus?

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Matt 5:9
God is above having sons for He is able to do all things!



Jesus never said this. Paul said this in the letter he wrote to the Philippians.



Where does it mention Jesus in the above? The words translated to God were different. See above in bold. Jesus is not even same as God from this verse.



No one appointed him King in Israel. He was not coronated nor crowned except in mockery. It was Jews that eventually killed him on the cross according to your Bible.




How does this make sense? God give birth? How? Two different persons which both are God, one gave birth to the other, the father is God 100%, son is God 100% and Human 100% which makes him greater than his father?

Sorry, I don't have time for debates. I just state the truth and move on.

Theon and Theos are different forms of the noun Theo. Just as have, had and has are different form of the verb 'to have' in English language.Consult a Greek Grammer book for more info.

As for the other thing you wrote consult the thread below for more info.

sorry for quoting you do you mean just like God and god are different forms of the same noun (GOD) but has different meanings and interpretation.

I was only wondering why the author of John 1:1 didn't use the same words either Theon or Theos in the same sentence.

In case you are unable to follow the link I gave you above, the following should help you.


Just as we have the nominative(subject) case and objective(object) case in English and the form of a word(usually pronouns) changes with cases.For instancd, He is used for the nominative case while 'him' is used for the objective case. Both refers to singular male person. Another example is the word 'they' . They is used In the nominative case while 'them' is used in the objective case. They both refer to plural male person.

Similarly, in Greek, a noun has up to eight cases. Theos is used in one case and theon is used in another case. They bother refer to the noun God.

Am I right if I say this

Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος

En arkhêi ên ho lógos, kaì ho lógos ên pròs tòn theón, kaì theòs ên ho lógos

In the beginning existed the Word, and the Word existed with the God, and a God was the Word.



Note: there is difference between the God and or a god (a God)

ton theon - The God (definite) NOUN

Kai theos.- and God (indefinite) ADJECTIVE

The meaning of the Greek article
The meaning of the Greek article is slightly different, which can make it difficult for English speakers to grasp.

"The primary function of the [Greek] article is not to make a word definite.

When the article is present, it is emphasizing identity

When the article is not present, it is generally emphasizing the quality of the substantive."

Emm, @bolded is not a translation of the Greek text but a translation of a specific Coptic translation from the 3rd century sir.
And it has nothing to do with whether Theos & theon mean the same thing.

I think its best not to use a language you don't understand how it works(atleast on a base level) to make your point sir.
I wouldn't try using Arabic to make a point with someone, since I don't even understand the basics of the Arabic language.
Just my opinion though
