But How Can Jesus Be God? by Hussein27(op): 10:10am On Oct 06, 2025
I was a Christian evangelist, before accepting Islam in 2014, I can tell you don't really understand what you mean by certainty, how will you accept Jesus who pray and cry to God for salvation from death as said in Hebrew 5 vs 7, yet you still accept he's the same God he's calling himself?

He was said to say "Eli Eli lamatchtabatani" my God my God! Why have thou forsaken me

Yet you believe he's still God?

He even said "He that sent me is greater than I"

Yet you believe he is God

He even said "I was SENT to the lost sheep of the house if Israel"

Yet you believe he is God

He said in John 5 vs 30 "All these I do, not by my power, but by the power of he that sent me, I speak and I judge and my judgement is just, not because am seeking my will but the will of he who SENT me"

Yet you claim he's God

He also said in John 17 vs 3 "And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."

This is a clear statement from Jesus, he made a clear distinction between the one true God and himself who was sent by that God, yet the Christians who see themselves as the all wise, still want us to believe that Jesus is God

In fact one told me that "Jesus is an humble God, he doesn't like to show himself"

So Jesus is the God that Father Abraham worshiped?
Noah Worship Jesus?
Moses Worship Jesus?
Elijah, Elisha, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Samuel, Elikanah, Haggai, Zachariah, Zephaniah, John the Baptist, Malachi, Habakkuk, Jonah, Samson, Solomon, Enoch, Aaron, Isaac, Jacob, Ishmael, Abel and all of them, so you are saying they all worshiped Jesus Christ? Since Jesus is God according to you, and they all worship God, so They worship Jesus Abi?

*If confusion is a person, he would be a Christian*

I believe in Jesus Christ just as he declare himself, he was sent by God and anyone sent is automatically a messenger, and he also prophesized based on revelations from God, and anyone who prophesized based on revelations is called a prophet

Thus by default Jesus is a prophet and messenger of God! Sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel as he himself affirms

You fell into the wrong hands, Jesus did not teach anyone that he is God rather he is God's messenger and that is what his first century disciples believe.

Meanwhile he was sent to deliver a special message to only Israelites {Matthew 15:24} who in turn should take the message to other nations. Matthew 28:19-20

So you need to know the true Christians, what we believe, teach and working at before you can know the essence of true religion.

This alone shows you don't understand anything about Jesus being God.

Jesus cried to the Father not to Himself.

The Father
Jesus
Holy Spirit

These Three are UNCREATED & ETERNAL that is why they are God NOTE not Gods.

He was said to say "Eli Eli lamatchtabatani" my God my God! Why have thou forsaken me
That was when He was on earth as human for salvation of the whole world.

Yet you believe he's still God?
Yes! Jesus is God.

He even said "He that sent me is greater than I"
Sure because He The Father is greater than Him when He became Human.

Yet you believe he is God
Yes! JESUS is God

He even said "I was SENT to the lost sheep of the house if Israel"
Of course, because Israel has been the God's chosen people and the promise made to their forefathers must be fulfilled.

Yet you believe he is God
Yes! Jesus is God Almighty.

He said in John 5 vs 30 "All these I do, not by my power, but by the power of he that sent me, I speak and I judge and my judgement is just, not because am seeking my will but the will of he who SENT me"
Absolutely because He didn't come to earth as God but as a dying lamb to take away the sin of the world.

Yet you claim he's God
Yes! Jesus is God and Creator of ALL CREATION.

He also said in John 17 vs 3 "And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."
Yes! His mission on earth is for the whole world to know the ONLY TRUE GOD and gain eternal life through His redemption works.

This is a clear statement from Jesus, he made a clear distinction between the one true God and himself who was sent by that God, yet the Christians who see themselves as the all wise, still want us to believe that Jesus is God
If you read that statement of Jesus further without being bias in your reading

"I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.

Can you see Jesus saying He shared GLORY with the Father before the World began?

What do you understand by this?

In fact one told me that "Jesus is an humble God, he doesn't like to show himself"
Jesus own statement supports this throughout the scripture.

So Jesus is the God that Father Abraham worshiped?
Noah Worship Jesus?
Moses Worship Jesus?
Elijah, Elisha, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Samuel, Elikanah, Haggai, Zachariah, Zephaniah, John the Baptist, Malachi, Habakkuk, Jonah, Samson, Solomon, Enoch, Aaron, Isaac, Jacob, Ishmael, Abel and all of them, so you are saying they all worshiped Jesus Christ? Since Jesus is God according to you, and they all worship God, so They worship Jesus Abi?
Yes! because Jesus created them ALL
In fact, Jesus Himself said, "...before Abraham was, I AM" given the same tone of which Yahweh was known by the old testament.

*If confusion is a person, he would be a Christian*
That you're confused doesn't mean people around you are in the same level of your confusion.

Do you believe Jesus own statement that He shared GLORY with the Father before the World began?

Do you believe Jesus own statement when He said: "Before Abraham was, I Am"?

I believe in Jesus Christ just as he declare himself, he was sent by God and anyone sent is automatically a messenger, and he also prophesized based on revelations from God, and anyone who prophesized based on revelations is called a prophet
So you're selective in whom Jesus declared Himself to be.

That's nice

Thus by default Jesus is a prophet and messenger of God! Sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel as he himself affirms
Jesus is everything that is why the blessed Apostle Paul said "So that He(Jesus) must be FIRST in everything"
