Jesus claim to be God? Where?

Question

If this is the statement of truth from the All-Knowing, that "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit,
'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'", then how do the Christians justify worshipping Jesus?
There is not a single unequivocal statement throughout the Bible, in all its 66 volumes of the Protestant versions, or in the 73 volumes
of the Roman Catholic versions, where Jesus claims to be God or where he says "worship me". Nowhere does he say that he and God
Almighty "are one" and "the same person."
The last phrase above "one and the same person" tickles many a "hot-gospeller" and "Bible-thumper," Christians are programmed to
rattle off verses out of context. The words "are one" activates the mind by association of memories. "Yes", say
the Trinitarians, the worshippers of three gods in one God, and one God in three gods, "Jesus did claim to be God!" Where?
There is no god but Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace beupon him) is the messenger of Allah

which Bible do you talk about? It changed! you change it as you want it to be, unlike Quran, it has been like itself for last 1428 years. Read it, read the real words of Allah Al-Mighty who gave life, NOT birth to Jesus. Jesus is our prophet like the last messenger Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Answer 1

~sigh~

Another who doesn't know anything about the BIBLE, yet wants to argue it?

"I and my Father are ONE". that's all you need! John 10:30

Answer 2

The Bible was not been changed in the context you present it, it has merely been translated into different languages. And books like the Message are simply one man's interpretations of God's spoken word.
Jesus claims that He is the King of Jews... correct? God is the King of Jews correct. So you may just be saying Jesus was blaspheming but all prophets work with and only with the power of God. Would God give Jesus these powers to heal people if He was blaspheming? So in that Jesus claims that He is the King of Jews ( it was even posted at the top of His cross) and that He had the power to do the miraculous things He did in his 33 years He is God.

But also as I presume, you throughly study the Qur'an. How do you justify the statement layed out in Revalation 22: 18-19?

Answer 3

God never said that. allah may have, but not God (and no, they are not the same).

and you obviously don't read the Bible regularly. Jesus did things subtly. Notice how He did His miracles: there wasn't a big show, He didn't call the crowd to Him.

*Jesus said "before Abraham was, I am" as God also calls Himself the I AM; he also said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life", and God called Himself Truth; the Greek word used for God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus' relationship was parakletos, meaning "of the same essense, one in the same".

next time do your homeowrk:

Answer 4

There are like 20,000 copies of all the actual scriptures which were put together for over 1100 bibles these days. No two are alike and the King James version is out of wack!

I used to be a christian but after so much controversy and hate and wars and stuff Im glad im now a pagan.

Answer 5

It does not matter what you are shown, your Qurr'an has twisted your mind to believe the lies contained in it. How can you possibly claim Jesus was a "great prophet" and then reject every single thing HE ever taught?
Read the Bible and learn the truth!!!

Answer 6

Matt. 26:63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

Jesus was accused of blasphemy by the pharisees because he had equated himself with God. If he was claiming to be a man, how could they accuse him of blasphemy?

Muslims love to say the bible was changed when we quote parts they don't like, but when they find parts they do like they quote them (and misinterpret them) to us. Why? Do you think only the parts were changed that you don't like? Well isn't that convenient!

Answer 7

Read the Holy Bible and find out the truth.

Answer 8

I don't believe that Jesus was God, nor do I believe in the bizarre trinity. I think Jesus was the son of God, just as we are all sons and daughters of God. However, I would still sooner follow the wise teachings of Jesus than the vileness of Yahweh (Allah), and his Prophet Muhammad. Yahweh (Allah) can have Muhammad for all I care, their natures seem to go well together. Jesus' nature was soooo different than either of them, I have a hard time believing that Jesus was part of Yahweh's mess at all.

Answer 9

The reason for so many different bibical beliefs and differences is because there are so many types of christianity. There are orthodox and unorthodox and so on. Versus the Islamic faith you all are the same religiously and only have like ten things to believe in. :-(

Answer 10

Did Jesus ever say the exact words "I am God"?



No, Jesus never said the exact three words, "I am God". But Jesus also never said the exact four words, "I am a prophet" or the exact four words "I am a man," but we know he was both a prophet and a man. It is not necessary for Jesus to say the exact phrase "I am a man" for us to know that he was a man. Likewise, it is not necessary for Jesus to utter the exact three words "I am God" in order for us to determine whether or not he is divine. Jesus may not have said the exact sentence "I am God" but he did claim the divine name for himself (Exo. 3:14 with John 8:58) and he also received worship (Matt. 2:2; 14:33; 28:9; John 9:35-38).
When Moses was up at the Mount speaking to God, Moses asked God what his name was. God said, "I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you,’” (Exodus 3:14). In John 8:58 Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” Right after this the Jews pick up stones to throw at him. Later, in John 10:30-33 Jesus claimed to be one with the Father and the Jews wanted to stone him again because they said to Jesus, "You, being a man, make yourself out to be God." Jesus had claimed the divine name for his own in the Jews wanted to kill him for it. Therefore, from Jesus' own mouth we see that he was claiming to be God.

The words "I am"

Now please understand that anyone can say the words "I am" and it does not mean that he is claiming to be God. Someone could say, "I am over here." That is not claiming the divine name. Likewise, someone could say, "I am hungry," or "I am sick." Neither example is claiming divinity because the use of term "I am" in context clearly shows us that is not what is occurring. But, in John 8:58 when Jesus said "before Abraham was born, I am," the Jews knew exactly what he was saying. Notice that he says before Abraham was born (using the past tense) and then he switches to the present tense when he says "I am." Jesus switches tenses of the verbs on purpose so that when he does so in the context of referencing Abraham, Jesus is clearly drawing the Jews' attention to the Old Testament Scriptures and then using a present tense form of the verb "to be" by saying "I AM". Someone who says "I am hungry" is not drawing attention to the Old Testament Scriptures for context.
Jesus was clearly causing the Jews to reflect upon the divine name "I am" that Jesus used for himself. We know that they understood this because as is said above, they said, "You, being a man, make yourself out to be God," (John 10:33).

The Muslims agree with the Jews

But what is noteworthy is that the Jews, like the Muslims, deny that Jesus is God in flesh. Therefore, the Muslims are united with the Jewish people in denying who Jesus claimed to be, the "I am."

Conclusion

It is not necessary that Jesus say a certain phrase in order for the truth of who he is to be made clear. The issue is not if he speaks a certain sentence that we construct in present terms in order to satisfy our theological demands. The issue is what did Jesus say in the context and culture of the time in which he spoke.
Finally, we know that Jesus is God in flesh because the Bible tells us so.

* John 1:1,14, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
* John 20:28-29, "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."
* Heb. 1:8, "But of the Son He says, 'Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.'"
