alBHAGDADI:God shares titles with men. I can mention at least three people in the bible who are designated with the title "King of kings". |

alBHAGDADI:how? i hope you are not referring to "my God why has thou forsaken me..." Jesus was quoting psalm 22 that prophecied his crucification, the propagation of the gospel and the redemption of man. this is in several theological books already.read your bible. Psalm 22 which is a Psalm Jews recited when despair, trouble, sickness, pain, death and dark times were experienced. If one reads the whole Psalm, one will find that the ending of the psalm is a much different "sentiment" than the beginning of the psalm. It was a prayer used by Jews...not a statement of being forsaken by God. That Psalm also prefigures Christ...... I bet the jews witnessing this were pretty shocked. Not only does the psalm end in proclaiming God ....but it also mentions : "they have pierced my hands and feet , they have numbered all my bones" and other such depictions that clearly represent Christ. You have to remember...hanging on the cross was VERY painful and to draw breath to speak...you would have to pull yourself up on the nails.....so in that 9 word statement....Christ says a lot. Jewish education at that time largely consisted of memorizing the Torah. Just as, nowadays, hearing someone recite the first line of something well-known would bring the rest of it to mind. Thus, Jesus saying the first few words of the 22nd Psalm would instantly bring it to the mind of all the Jews listening, just as we could probably remember the next Psalm when hearing “The Lord is my shepherd…” Thus, His words were not a cry of despair, but a song of victory. |

alBHAGDADI:Proof texting is just unacceptable and it's considered fallacious in debate. Just because two different people are designated with similar traits does not imply they are the same entity. Jesus admits he received authority from God. The fact that he had to receive authority to do all what he did implies he cannot be on par equal with God. The almighty has all power and authority. It's already native to him. Jesus also grants that authority to his disciples as well. To forgive sins: John 20:23 [23]Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. And to judge: Matthew 19:27-28 [27]Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? [28]And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. |

@ alBHAGDADI You claim Jesus is God right? So I have a question for you. When Jesus was crucified, who was running the show? Who was in charge of the heavens and the earth? Please do reply. |

To cut the long story short: Jesus Is God!!! I just hope we all know on judgement day, the wisdom which God has given us will be used against us; Cos somethings we twist with our own hands will end up putting us in trouble... I pray we all have the best explanation to back up our religious decisions on earth on the day of accountability!!! |

alBHAGDADI:No point here at all. Firstly you are cherry picking verses out of context. If you read the context of the verses you cited you'd see that it's about God refusing to share his glory with idols and fallen gods. Jesus requested to be glorified. This negates your argument. You don't request for something you already have and isn't it awkward that this same glory was given to the disciples? Read it and weep.. John 17:22 [22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: |

fabre4:Which principles of Trinity are you claiming here. Mark 12 . 28:29. And one of the scribes came , and having heard them reasoning together,and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him which is " THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS OF ALL? AND JESUS answered him " THE FIRST OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IS HEAR, THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD. |

alBHAGDADI:I do not actually know the fulcrum of your argument, but I'll make some guesses to aid me offer a response. I reckon your argument is that Jesus is God almighty himself. But there is a structural lapse in your offering which puts a strain on the edifies of opinion you hold out. First your position shows you are discussing two entities. Whether you agree or not is immaterial, for Jesus says in John 14:28..You heard that I said to you...the father is greater than I am. In the account of Colossians 1: 15, apostle Paul referred to Jesus as the "image of th invisible God, the first born of all creation"...Jesus thus was created, hence, he who created him must be greater. Is it any wonder then that Jesus on a number of occasion while on earth said he had come to do the will of the one that sent him. In fact, on the night of his death, the pain was so much that he wished things changed, but as it was, it wasn't in his powers to change the tide. Prior to the selection of his disciples, Jesus was said to have prayed all night to make the right choice, to whom was he praying, if he had that much power, why did he need to be guided. Again, whose voice came down from heaven to confirm Jesus' sonship at his baptism, perhaps it was Jesus'own voice that said to Jesus" this is my son with whom I am well pleased"? During the transfiguration , the same voice boomed from heaven but with the addition "listen to him". Throughout Jesus ministry on earth, he made it clear that he was a messenger, he never arrogated powers to himself, he referred his listeners to a Being greater than he. .. Your argument obviously touches on the relationship between Jesus and God the almighty. Whether we accept it or not, Jesus himself has accepted his position as the second in command, a perfect representation of his father. He did not say "no one comes to me except through me" but no one comes to the father, we all are going to the father, Jesus is a means, hid father, the end...Happy Sunday brothers and sisters |

At OP and like minded Christians, you don't conclude based on assumptions when there are clearly stated words in the Bible on this issue. If Jesus is God (which he didn't claim), how do you interpret these: +++ John 14:28: “You heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am coming back to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is GREATER than I am.” +++ Matthew 28:18. “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.” But if Jesus is God, how could he be given more authority? And who gave it to him? +++ John 6:38. Jesus said: “I have come down from heaven to do, not my will, but the will of him that sent me.” +++ John 7:16: . “Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: ‘What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him that sent me.’” +++ Philippians 2:9, describes what God did after Jesus’ death and resurrection: “God exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name.” @OP, next time you want to conclude that Jesus is God Almighty based on your assumptions, you mind consider these popular verses people like you quote: John 10:30. "I and my Father are one." But such people forget to read the entire chapter. Or they simply ignore it. Also, if this oneness means Jesus is God, how then do you explain John 17:11 "I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one." There are other verses like "the word is God" in the book of John. I am tired. GTG Happy Easter guys. |

Hmmmm.....i'm pushed to say something on this one, i've you ever heard of the holy trinity? the truth is that the father is in the son just as the son is in the father, they are three in one and remains so Jesus is God just as God Is Jesus. things concerning the heaven(s) is a mystry you can not unravel with just human wisdom........ dig that? |

This op is really confused just like his followers. these are series of questions for minds that think so if you don't I don't think you know what you are doing then. Q. Who's God Ans. Jesus Q. Is Jesus the son of Mary Ans. Yes Q. Who created Mary Ans. God Q. Who's God. Ans. Jesus Q. Jesus is the begotten son Ans. Yes Q. Who's his father Ans. God Q. Who's God. Ans. Jesus Q. Did Jesus die on the cross Ans. Yes Q. Who resurrected him Ans. God Q. Is Jesus the messenger of God Ans. Yes Q. Who sent him Ans. God Q. Did Jesus worship while on earth Ans. Yes Q. Who did he worship Ans. God These are just a little if u cld comprehend how can you say Jesus is God sent by God and he's God who worships God I.e he worships himself does that make sense.? Almighty God said there's none like unto him. Just like u and I we eat Jesus ate so your God eats..? You used the toilet Jesus used too do your God uses the toilet too..? You sleep Jesus slept does your God ever sleep..? I would want to ask you a simple question and be logical. You are there where Mary gave birth and you held small baby Jesus at your age let say you 30-40 years a baby crying with blood and you raise him up and say you are my God small baby I would worship you forever till I die. I put it to you was your God created..? if I say you are human then it means your generation too are human and they have the traits of human right. So as Jesus died your God too had died once before that's pathetic your God too slept and ate too bad bro. Fix up your self and your mind stop being myopic if something don't conform to common sense leave it bro. The lord your God is one neither sleep nor slumber overtakes him. |

If you have all these verses and understand Quran, try and seek understanding and interpretation of the Bible. E.g is like a person that knows how to read and decided to pick a book on how to perform a surgery, after reading the whole of the and decided to enter into a theatre room to perform a surgery. You and I knows the end result after surgery. And accept you are a good scholar you know very well as a Muslim you cannot read and interpret Quran, likewise the Bible you can never read and understand it without the inspiration of God or going through the schools and having a better knowledge of it. |
