Answer 1

Translation: In the Name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

If Jesus was GOD:

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Mark 12:29 Jesus said "Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." The words "our God" indicate that Jesus had a higher God over him, a stronger God than him. Jesus didn't say "Your God". He said "our God" which includes Jesus as the creation of GOD.

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 20:17 Jesus said I ascend to my God and your God? This tells us that we and Jesus have a common GOD.

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 8:28 Jesus said "I do nothing of myself"? Can't GOD do anything he wills?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 14:28 Jesus said "My Father (GOD) is greater than I"?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Luke 23:46 Jesus said "Father (GOD), into thy hands I commend my spirit"?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 19:16 Jesus said "Why call me good, there is none good but One, that is GOD"?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus begged his GOD to have mercy on him and to pass the cup to death (kill Jesus in another words) before Jesus goes through the pain of crucifixion? Also see: Jesus's crucifixion in Islam

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 18:38 he didn't reply when he was asked about the truth?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 24:36 Jesus told his followers that no one (including Jesus) knows when the judgment day will come, only GOD knows?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Isiah 11:2-3 GOD had put the spirit of fearing GOD in Jesus?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:31 Jesus told his followers that if he (Jesus) bears witness of himself, then his record is not true?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:30 Jesus told his followers that he can't do a single thing of his own initiative?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:36-38 Jesus said that GOD had assigned him (Jesus) work and GOD is a witness on Jesus?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:32 Jesus told his followers that they have never seen GOD at anytime nor ever heard his voice?

If Jesus was GOD, then why did he pray to his GOD in Luke 5:16?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus fell on his face and prayed to his GOD?

The "God" Title:

How come Christians take the "God" (theos in Greek) title literally with Jesus in Isiah 9:6 and they don't take it literally for the rest of the prophets and people who were called Gods ?

The Prophets who were called "God" in the Bible are as follows:

Prophet Moses in Exodus 7:1

The Devil in Corinthians 4:4 (the word for God in this verse is theos in Greek, the same used for Jesus that was translated as "God")

Multiple Prophets in Psalms 82:6

King David in Psalm 45:3

Note: The only unique title given to GOD in the Bible that was not given to others at all are Jehova, GOD, and GOD LORD. "God", "Most Mighty" and "Almighty One" are titles that were given to Jesus, other Prophets and to Satan himself in the Bible.

Very important note: Did you know that in the languages of Arabic and Hebrew the father of the house can be called the God of the house? Jesus was the God (father or leader) of his people and their father according to Isiah 9:6. Jesus being the leader and the king, it is normal for him to be called the father of his people (Father in Isiah 9:6), and because he is their father he automatically becomes their God. My father is my God in Arabic and Hebrew.

The "Son" Title:

How come Christians take the "God's Son" title literally with Jesus and they don't take it literally for the rest of the prophets and people who were called the Sons of God?

In John 3:16 Jesus was called God's only Begotten Son.

In Exodus 4:22 "Thus saith Jehova, Isreal is my son, even my firstborn." Isreal was called God's First Son.

In Jeremiah 31:9 "I am a father to Isreal, and Ephraim is my firstborn." Ephraim is God's First Son and First Born.

In Psalm 2:7 "... Jehova had said onto me (David), thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." David was called God's Begotten Son.

Were Jesus's Miracle's Unique?

If Jesus is believed to be GOD because he could do miracles, he could heal leprosy, he could cause blind men to see, or raise the dead, then what about the others who performed the same miracles?

Elisha and Elijah fed a hundred people with twenty barley loaves and a few ears of corn (2 Kings 4:44).

Elisha told Naaman, who was a leper, to wash in the river Jordan (2 Kings 5:14) and he was healed. Elisha caused a blind man to see in (2 Kings 6:17,20).

Elijah and Elisha raised the dead in (1 Kings 17:22, and 2 Kings 4:34). Even Elisha's dead bones restored a dead body in (2 Kings 13:21).

Indeed Jesus had prophesied that people will worship him uselessly and will believe in doctrines not made by GOD but by men "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Matthew 15:9)"

In Matthew 15:9 above, we see Jesus warning that Trinity (the bogus lie) will dominate, and people will take Jesus as GOD and worship him, which is a total sin according to what Jesus said !!

Allah Almighty (GOD) in the Noble Quran (The Muslims' Holy Scripture) states in Verse 5:72 "They do blaspheme who say: 'God is Christ the son of Mary.' But said Christ: 'O Children of Isreal ! worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' "

Also in Noble Verse 5:73 "They do blaspheme who say God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them."

And also in Noble Verse 4:171 "O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, ..."

The Point that I am trying to prove:

Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus peace be upon him is a messenger from God. He was sent from God Almighty to deliver God's words to his people. Jesus was never God, nor ever claimed to be God. Jesus was a humble wonderful human being just like the rest of the Prophets and Messengers of God. Muslims also believe that Jesus was never crucified, nor ever died on the cross, nor ever wanted to die on the cross, nor ever was sent to earth to die on the cross

Answer 2

We praise God and attribute good actions to God. We pray to God and Jesus at the same time and we pray in the name of Jesus. I personally see them as two separate entities as well as the Trinity as Christ is the Son of God and comes from God and there is Holy Spirit which also comes from God. Christians see our God just as Muslims do that He is the only true God, but we also see that He has a Son that should also be praised.

Answer 3

They are taught that God wants sacrifice for sins... would you pray to someone like that?

This odd kind of situation came about by not listening to what Jesus actually tuaght!!! Jesus taught that God is a loving heavenly Father (Prodigal Son story)

If you want to understand how everything got fllipped upside-down, this resource will explain the whole thing.

Answer 4

They consider him (God forbid) son of God.

Why don’t they know that God has not appointed any INTERCESSOR between Himself & a man?


CONSIDER MUNDANE EXAMPLE:

When in your daily life you need an official approval you reach an officer in chair to get it. Why Not you approach an officer’s son to get the approval?
It is all because the kid of that officer is neither in Authority nor in the Chair!

Isn’t a direct contact with the OFFICER IN CHAIR is much more reliable & it reduces any sort of red tape & chances of failure to communicate with the person in authority as well?

I won’t insist, to me, One God is enough who is at the Helm of the Affairs & is The Most High.

Answer 5

Because we believe in a Triune God, 3 persons in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus is the son and is God.

Answer 6

they believe Jesus is god and they are one in the same. that Christ Jesus came from God as his son, lived a human life therefore "understands" human pains human need for food, love, compassion. and when Jesus died he raised from the dead and walked on earth again as Christ=God.
Jesus is a more tangible God, easier to talk to because he has lived.
this is just my interpretation.
i was raised catholic. now i am just a very spiritual person. Christians believe God is a trinity 3 in one God, Spirit, and Man. like a clover has 3 petals that make up one leaf. they are separate yet together one in the same. hence the reason it is plural in the holy scribes written thousands of years ago. the word used in the scribes is a plural version of one therefor it is many or we.
God is so Holy that it sometimes is shameful to come to him for forgiveness so they ask Jesus to help them, ask things in his name he is kinda like a mediator for man to go to so he will talk to God on our behalf.

i don't know. this is my thought or understanding hope it helps.

Answer 7

Jesus is called the Son of God, but the Christian belief is that He is God the Son.

We believe in one God manifested in three persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, all three make up the One God. (Similar to the way you have a body, mind, and spirit, yet are still one human being.)

Now, sometimes I address my prayers to "Father God" sometimes to "Jesus", sometimes to "Lord" because in the Bible you see prayers addressed all those ways. But all those prayers really go to the Trinity as a whole, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Answer 8

there is something in bible make Christians think that Jesus is god but what about Holy ghost !no body praise Him but still he is somehow god ! not son or father but a god !
sure alot of Christians sects started to reject that Holy ghost is God CZ Holy ghost in old testament is Angel but in new testament I don`t now how He is a god !

Answer 9

Do you think we must teach Jesus proper English, so that he can diffrentiate between a father and a son and who is God?

Answer 10

Jesus is the same as God. Isaiah called Him "Eternal Father" in chapter 9. Referring to the Son of God, the Messiah. Jesus also said that he is the Father. "I and the Father are One" (John 10:30) So when you pray, to God, you're praying to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are all One and the same. So we aren't neglecting Him.

You can't understand the Trinity, it's beyond our capacity. Jesus is the Father, and the Son of God. It's one of the many wonders of God. I think it's great, that God is so much higher than we are in wisdom and understanding.

Answer 11

Jesus is GOD in the flesh. Jesus is the 2nd Person of the Blessed Trinity-incarnate. Jesus is true God and true Man. Jesus is a single divine person, who has 2 natures-Human and Divine. God bless.

God is Three eternal beings. The Father is fully God. The Son (Jesus) is fully God, and the Holy Spirit is fully God.
