7. How did Jesus demonstrate He had the power of God, that He is the Son of God, and that He is God the Son?.......{a.}He had power to read human hearts (John 2:24,25). {b.}He had power to foretell the future (John 13:19). {c.}He had creative power (John 6:1-20). {d.}He had power to give life (John 5:21). {e.}He had infallibility of utterance (John 8:46). {f.}He had power to forgive sins (Mark 2:1-12). {g.} He had pwer to receive worship (Matthew 14:33). [Note: This is an important point since created beings such as men or angels are not to be worshiped. Reads Acts 10:25,26; Revelation 22:8,9; Matthew 4:8-10. But Jesus accepted worship of His disciples as Deity. Thomas said of Him, "My Lord and my God." John 20:28,29. Angels aslo worship Him (Hebrews 1:6). Ultimately all the universe will adore him (Philippians 2:10).] {h.}He had the power of an inherent life (John 5:26). {i.}He had power to transform hearts (John 1:12,13). [Note: Only a divine being could say "I am the light of the world"; "I am the resurrection, and the life"; "I am the door"; "I am the way, the truth, and the life."]

Nowhere. In contrast, he said the following:

John 20:17. He is a mere worshipper of God, his Father.
John 14:28. His Father is greater than he is.

Matthew 20:20-23; 24:36. His knowledge and authority is limited compared to his Father.

What is a more stronger proof that Jesus is NOT God Almighty, than these admissions by Jesus himself?

True, John 1:1 says that the Word was god (or God, in KJ). But, that verse did not say that the 2 gods mentioned are equal.

The word 'god' or 'God' as used in the bible is a generic title--just like Doctor, Atty, etc--given to powerful beings. Check this out in Psalms 82:1-6, or Psalm 136:2. These verses and other related ones will tell you that not all 'gods' are of equal might or power.

Jesus did not tell anyone to worship him. And the most direct indication that he made of being God was when he identified himself as "I AM," the name God gave for himself to Moses.
(Mark 14:62, Luke 22:70, John 8:24, 28, 58, 9:9, 18:6, 8)

But he also said that he was the son of God. So many these days make this to be some sort of distinction; but the Jews of Jesus' day knew exactly what he was claiming:
John 10:33-36 -- The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God." Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods" '? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 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'?

The son of a man, is a man; the son of a horse is a horse; the son of God is God.

He does not do this anywhere in the Bible, but he does define himself as God's son (John10:36)God also defines Jesus as his son (Matthew3:16,17)his belief of Jesus being God is man made, it is not from God or in his Word!

Jesus Or Prohphet Isa Was Only A Prophet Like Other Prophets Who Came Before Him.

It is true that Allah gave him a religous book but the Bible which is available today has been changed by People.It was changed a long time ago , before Prophet Muhammad(Peace Be Upon Him) . So Allah gave Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) the Holy Quran and Allah Himself took the responsibility of protecting it.Thus Quran is the only correct religous book which has not been altered, out of 4 or 5 - Torah , Ingeel etc (I don't remember the names properly) which were given to Prophets like Musa(Alaihissalam) and Isa(Alaihissalam).

So we can conclude that even if it is mentioned somewhere that Jesus is God's Son (Astaghfirullah) , It is not correct.

When we believe that God(Allah) can do anything, then with his will anyone can get a son (Like Bibi Maryam(Mary)) without the need of having a father

Thus Jesus was a Prophet Of Allah and he had no father

Here's a passage in John 5:

16So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. 17Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." 18For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these. 21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

The Jews understood in verse 18 that Jesus was claiming to be God. He also says people need to honor Him just as they honor God the Father. Sounds like He expects them to worship Him too.

Jesus never asked people to worship him. He displayed power, wisdom, love... and all the beautiful qualities that God, this Father possessed and he always emphasized to the people that it is because of God's will that he came to earth.

So you see, Jesus and his Father are never equal.
One is the son, the other the father.

Before the crucification and resurrection of Jesus Christ, he was a complete man with the Spirit of God in him. He was with the mortal body as all others had. These times he taught people to worship God, he also prayed to God the Father.

But after the resurrection, he put on the body of immortality over the mortal one. Thus he could enter in the room which closed still he could made Thomas to feel His hands and Side. This is the Heavenly body of immortality.

After the resurrection his disciples worshiped Him when they met Him, but he never told them not to worship him as He did before the crucification.

This shows that He took His Godliness after the resurrection.

Mathew 28 : 16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

Luke 24 : 51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

John 20 : 27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book

Jesus never says in the bible himself for people to worship him but he does say that he and his father (god) are one, and god said in the bible that you should worship him and no other god. So sort inadvertantly he says it but never right out.
