Muslims, if you do not believe God has offspring,can you believe that God became flesh while still God ?

Question

Christians believe that Jesus was a prophet, we also believe that Jesus was God in the flesh, He prayed to God the Father, and blessed us with the Holy Ghost, Can Mohammad do like that?
See the difference? So is there any common ground with that kind of Christian like me and Islam?

My point?
I am trying to understand, and see if there is any common ground between Christian and Muslim, and I want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to see those views, I think I know my way around the web, But I camped here, cause I like the forum,
Sorry if it is to deep for you :/

My question was more to the Muslims then to any one else, I want to hear their views, though I do welcome almost any view, this is not one of those places.

MusliM...... to Allah

Thank you and God Bless

Answer 1

Read these quotations from the bible ..
If he was god,do you think he prayed to himself ?
Do you want to tell me god died on the cross?

14.28 ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice,
because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

He will magnify the law and make it honourable.

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (The Bible, Mathew 7:22-24)

mathew15:24
Mathew5:10


If you love me, Keep my commandments. And I will pray to the Father and He shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever.
(Bible, John 14-15/16)


But when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me, and he also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
(Bible, John 15-26/27)


I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the spirit of Truth will come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall speak not of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that he shall speak, and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and he shall show it unto you.
(Bible, John 16-12/14)



5:72

John 17:21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.


The great messenger of God, Jesus, says: "And this is life eternal, that they might know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." John 17:3

Allah says in the Quran:

"1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

4. And there is none like unto Him. "

Answer 2

I'm always amazed with people quoting the holy book in their answers.
But I would be very impressed with people that give their own opinions, although still based on their beliefs, which also give a fresh original personal point of view. That would really broaden our horizon.

As for your question, I believe there is Godness in prophets.
But not only them.
There's Godness in trees, air, water, human, animal and universe.
I would not limit the capability of God since God has no limit.

Common ground in all religions and beliefs ? All road leads to God, so no need to argue which roads the shortest or smoothest.. Just do your walk..

Answer 3

Does GOD "Creator of the whole Univers" need to have a offsprings...?
this is the question that need to be answered..
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allaah aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allaah and His Word, (‘Be’ — and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rooh) created by Him; so believe in Allaah and His Messengers. Say not: ‘Three (trinity)!’ Cease! (it is) better for you”

[al-Nisa’ 4:171]

In this verse Allaah referred to ‘trinity and incarnation, and forbade both of these beliefs. He states that the Messiah is only “a Messenger of Allaah and His Word, (‘Be’ — and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rooh) created by Him”. And He says, “so believe in Allaah and His Messengers”, then He says, “Say not: ‘Three (trinity)!’ Cease! (it is) better for you”.

Yehoshua thanks for giving me a chance to come back here and edit my answer. I think I was correct with my first answer. Go to http://www.islamtomorrow.com listen or watch the lecture by Brother Yusuf Estes, a former Christian preacher who converted Islam together with another Catholic priest. He talks about Christianity and Islam and how he became Muslim. The title of the lecture is How Priests and Preachers Enter Islam, and I am sure that it is not hard to find it.
Also, you would find many many many more articles on Christianity. I think you would like the website and him.
Also, it is one of THE BEST Muslim websites . You would see many more links overthere.

In addition, you would find many articles on the website.
There is one talking about Quran and Bible, you might want to read it.

Answer 5

Any religion that claims to be the only way to God is a lie.
