Justright34:
Your contribution is appreciated but can you pinpoint where does hatred or bitterness emanated from as regarding the purpose of this tread ?


Must you always teach the doctrine with hatred and bitterness ?



According to your emphasis, you mean Jesus is the word of God and the word of God is Jesus therefore Jesus is the Son of God ?


But do you ever consider the first commandment that Jesus was talking about in the Bible that God is One ?

Mark 12:29, KJV: "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"

John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Jesus reinstate on the verse above that the only true God have sent him as messenger and not that God comes to the world as flesh himself


John 7:28

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,

He said he is not on earth on his own authority but God sent him as messenger and not as another God in flesh


John 8:42
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.


The above verse nailed it all that Jesus is a messenger sent by God just as He sent other prophets as well


So why the Trinity ?
Why as Son of God why other messengers not sond of God ?

If Adam has no father and no mother and not being regarded as son of God but Jesus who has no Father but has mother regarded as son to God ?

Because he was born in a mysterious way without a father ?

All the verses above stated vividly that Jesus is sent by God as messenger to Israel just as God sent other prophets

As word ?
As son of God ?
As God ?
As Lord ?


Is that the reason some Christians have image of some white actors and refer to the person on the poster as Jesus therefore bow to the image as Jesus ?



Thanks do your educative response in advance
The reason I mentioned bitterness and hatred, 1. The most popular verse in the Bible John 3:16, clearly stated Jesus Christ as the Son of GOD. And John 1:1 clearly stated that GOD's word became flesh and dwell with us, which is JESUS CHRIST.

2. Of what benefits is whatever CHRISTians claim about JESUS CHRIST to Muslims if not they are mischievous, we are not talking about Muhammad, so is the need of antagonizing to prove an irrelevant disruptive point, no one is dragging Allah with you,why JESUS CHRIST?

3. You wrote "must you teach doctrine with hate" I say, must I cover my mouth to say the truth?, look at the extremism of Islam extremists around the world, Mrs Bridget Agbahime was killed in Kano by Muslims for telling them not to do ablution in front of her shop, about 80year old woman was beaten to death, no one was charged and guilty, even it was reported that the killers were vindicated by another Muslim ruling the country that the woman blasphemed,so paying with her life is inevitable, what about Mrs Eunice Olawale that was killed by entire mosque, no one was brought to justice, they died like chicken, hundreds of thousands of people like that died without no one to be held responsible.

Mind you didn't see lot of scriptures talking about GOD the Father and GOD the Son(JESUS CHRIST) are one?

The first commandment is not that Mark 12 : 29 you quoted, Muslims read the Bible not to broaden their horizon but they read blindly to criticize, the first commandment is in verse 30, that is why a ":" was applied to show continuation.


Obviously You are confuse or mischievous, any one can be sent a message, even a father can deliver a message for his child.


Read Matthew 21:33 - 43 and come and explain what it means

AntiChristian:
I know you score "A" in abuse and cursing the Prophet of Islam and Muslims. Clarify the questions and stop the diversion!

However your exegesis of your Bible is "F". Try and answer the questions posed!

A. What does ''logos" mean?

B. How is Jesus Christ a lexical definition of "logos"?

C. How can "logos" mean Jesus Christ in only 7 out of over 300 instances in the NT.

D. Examples of "logo" include:

Any good Greek lexicon will also show this wide range of meaning (the words in italics are translated from logos):

1. Logos mean speaking; words you say (Rom. 15:18, “what I have said and done”).

2. Logos mean a statement you make (Luke 20:20 – (NASB), “they might catch him in some statement).

3. Logos mean a question (Matt. 21:24, “I will also ask you one question”).

4. Logos mean preaching (1 Tim. 5:17, “especially those whose work is preaching and teaching).

5. Logos mean command (Gal. 5:14, “the entire law is summed up in a single command”).

6. Logos mean proverb; saying (John 4:37, “thus the saying, ‘One sows, and another reaps’”).

7. Logos mean message; instruction; proclamation (Luke 4:32, “his message had authority”).

8. Logos mean assertion; declaration; teaching (John 6:60, “this is a hard teaching”).

9. Logos mean the subject under discussion; matter (Acts 8:21, “you have no part or share in this ministry.” Acts 15:6 (NASB), “And the apostles… came together to look into this matter”).

10. Logos mean revelation from God (Matt. 15:6, “you nullify the Word of God ”).

11. Logos mean God’s revelation spoken by His servants (Heb. 13:7, “leaders who spoke the Word of God”).

12. Logos mean a reckoning, an account (Matt. 12:36, “men will have to give account” on the day of judgment).

13. Logos mean an account or “matter” in a financial sense (Matt. 18:23, A king who wanted to settle “accounts” with his servants. Phil. 4:15, “the matter of giving and receiving”).

14. Logos means a reason; motive (Acts 10:29 – NASB), “I ask for what reason you have sent for me”).

Re: Question For All True Christians by Nobody: 4:25pm On Apr 02, 2020
First of all, before i proceed with my own response let me introduce myself and i will really appreciate it if you too should do the same.

I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and i hope you must have come across us coming to knock on your doors sometimes in the past.

Secondly, would you like me to be part of this discussion? Because my response may surprise you as i'll quote God's word for whatever i say.

Lastly, if you're not a Christian would you be calm and attentive enough to listen and reason from a neutral point of view and not just as an antagonist or critic?

Thank you in advance! smiley

See what his hearers understood him to have said:
John 10:33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.
Also:
John 17:5
"And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began".
Bros,let Jesus Christ reply your claim & the false claim of the Jews who accused him....

John 10:36, Jesus says:

"Do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world,You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God '?"
'
Bros,Jesus says his accusers were lying.
Bros, Jesus Christ says your claim is not true.

---------------------
Bros, let Jesus Christ reply your claim in John 17:5......


John 17:24
""Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."

Bros, Jesus Christ says "the glory YOU (his FATHER) HAVE GIVEN Me" ( Jesus) ..... before the creation of the world"
The glory NEVER belonged to Jesus until he received it from his Father..
Bros, Jesus Christ himself says your claim is not true.. (Compare Matt28:18).
Shalom


Shalom.

Sometimes comprehension is difficult if one skims over a writeup.

In John 19:36  What are the Jews referring to by accusing Jesus of blasphemy? And what did Jesus mean by saying "because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?"

In John 17:24 what is 'glory'? And if Jesus had it "before the creation of the world" what does that mean?

Maybe your answers will clear things for me.

It seems you're referring to John 10:36, not John 19:36....


Your Question:
What are the Jews referring to by accusing Jesus of blasphemy?

My Answer: The Jews referred to their cooked up FALSE ALLEGATION of blasphemy..
. John 19:6-7.
6.......“You take Him and impale Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.” 7“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”…

(Compare John 10:36).

Bros,is it actually blasphemy for Jesus Christ to say "I am the son of God?" Or to say God is his Father?
Please think am well......
Jesus Christ NEVER blaspheme..


John 17:24 Jesus himself said he was GIVEN THE GLORY ( his Father elevated him ) "before the creation of the world."

Bros,do you agree with Jesus?

His Superior (His God & Father in heaven) gave Jesus the glory Jesus had.
(Rev 3:5,12. 1Cor11:3. 1 Cor3:23.)
Bros,do you agree?

You appear to have not clearly got my questions. Let me clarify them:
1. The Jews may have cooked up a FALSE ALLEGATION of blasphemy against Jesus. What EXACTLY did they mean by blasphemy?

2. What did Jesus mean by saying "because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'"

3. What is glory?

4. What does it mean for Jesus to have had it "before the creation of the world"? (Note: I was not asking who gave him the glory).

Q1:
"blasphemy" (meaning to show gross disrespect, insult to Yahweh or His holy name).
Q2.
Jesus means what he said: he is not God Almighty,Yahweh. Study 1 Cor11:3. 1 Cor3:23.
Q3.
Elevated/Exalted position of Power/authority.
Jesus can NEVER be equal with his God& Father in heaven.
Q4
The God& Father placed Jesus in an exalted , position (of power,authority) before creation..
Them no be mate for heaven..

Bros, Jesus Christ says he is inferior to his God & Father in heaven (spiritual realm) and on earth (physical realm) Revelation 3:5,12,21. John 20:17.

Bros, you make me laugh...
What has what your Bible says & Jesus says got to do with my academics?

The Jews said Jesus committed blasphemy because he says he is the son of God. (John 19:6-7. John 10:36).
I asked you: what is the blasphemy in Jesus statement, you have been dodgy about it.
Breaking the laws of Exodus 20:1-7 is regarded as blasphemy by the Jews, shine your eyes.



John 17:22
I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one-
Whatever you might mean by "the glory", Jesus Christ is speaking to you at John 17:22.
Apply "the glory" to Jesus's disciples... grin grin

Bros,you proved to be a "very nice teacher" who refused to supply answers to the 4 questions you raised, (if only to help me & others understand & increase our knowledge).
Na "Very nice teacher" no dey supply answers to his own questions wey him say his students no know the answers.... grin

... have been dodgy
Proved to be a "very nice teacher"
Who refused to supply 'expo' to his student.

Meanwhile, the 'student' is schooling the "very nice teacher".
The 'student' is asked a SPECIFIC questions but goes off in a tangent.

With all these above what can the "very nice teacher" Do but to congratulate the 'student' for his excellent insights?

Any unbiased observer of our discussion would see that the plank for Sagenaija claims were built on quicksand.
His questions were an attempt to perpetuate his personal opinions into the holy Scriptures rather than stick with the holy writ.

Let me clarify them:
1. The Jews may have cooked up a FALSE ALLEGATION of blasphemy against Jesus. What EXACTLY did they mean by blasphemy?
Exodus 20:1-7 explains what blasphemy is, he disagrees.

2. What did Jesus mean by saying "because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'"
The Jews at John 19:6-7 corroborates Jesus at John 10:36, what else did Jesus mean?

3. What is glory?
The guy wan claim say Jesus share the same position with him Father before creation, therefore at John 17:22, Jesus disciples occupied the same position Jesus had.
4. What does it mean for Jesus to have had it "before the creation of the world"? (Note: I was not asking who gave him the glory).
He wan claim say Jesus is uncreated. Yet his own Bible says Jesus is "the first born of every creature".
Jesus Christ done say he is God's son in the physical realm and spiritual realm. He is Yahweh's first creature. You can't be the son of your equal.
Receive sense.
Re: Question For All True Christians by sagenaija: 7:56am On Apr 09, 2020

........
Receive sense.
I asked simple questions. The least you could have done was to directly address them.

The Jews answered Him, “We are not going to stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy, because You, a mere man, make Yourself out to be God.
John 10:33 AMP

The above was the BLASPHEMY the Jews accused Jesus of. The passage directly addressed it. There is NO NEED to go anywhere else.

A man can adopt a child and call him 'my son' even though he is not his biological offspring. The term denotes a RELATIONSHIP. Jesus's use of the term 'Son of God' denote the relationship he has with God. Note: Relationship.

Glory has to do with the GREATNESS, BEAUTY AND PERFECTION of God. Jesus said he SHARED this with God. No mere creature can claim to share perfection. He said he had this GLORY with his Father before HUMAN HISTORY began. His appearance in human history as flesh and blood did not mean he was flesh and blood before the creation of the world. He MUST have existed in a different NATURE. His entry into the world made him UNIQUE.

the same LIE wey the Jews made against Jesus (John 19:6-7), you dey repeat the lie to support your FALSE claim that Jesus is God Almighty. grin grin.

John 20:17,
Jesus Christ says
"I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to your God and my God",
Jesus is "the first born of every creature" of his Father in heaven and earth.
He is the beginning of the creation by God"
Rev 3:5,11-14,21.
Jesus NEVER said his Father adopted him.....

Angels have BEAUTY,PERFECTION etc, which Jesus Christ had before creation of the world.
Going by your personal opinions, every angel is God..
No need to import Sagenaija personal misinterpretation into the holy Scriptures.

My brother, these guys are Muslims!

It will cost them great humility and tolerance to hear you out. I've been a Muslim before and i know what those dubious Arabs have infused in their brains.

So no matter the clarity of your explanation, a Muslim will continue to argue not based on your clear conception but to misconstrue the whole thing.

Just tell him that Islam is one of the children of the AntiChrist (Catholic Church) just as all those religionists claiming Christians are, so if he wants to argue let him first sought out the difference between what Muhammad taught those credulous Arabs and Catholicism, before coming forward to contend with TRUE Christianity! smiley
