Is
Jesus really God?
-
Christians belive so, but the stark reality is
that Jesus could not be since Isa(as) he shares
no attributes with Allah(swt).
ITG
look into the false God that is worshiped
by milions of christians and ask Why? Does the
creator not know what He has created? Planes should
fall from the sky if areonautical engineers fail
to maintain areplanes as the designers intended?
So why should God recarnate as a human to know
what it feels like to be human???
IS
JESUS REALLY GOD?
Without a doubt,
you have often heard the claim that Jesus is God,
the second person in the "Holy Trinity."
However, the very Bible which is used as a basis
for knowledge about Jesus and as the basis for
doctrine within Christianity clearly belies this
claim. We urge you to consult your own Bible and
verify that the following conclusions are not
drawn out of context:
- GOD
IS ALL KNOWING.....BUT JESUS WAS NOT
When speaking of the Day of Judgment,
Jesus clearly gave evidence of a limitation
on his knowledge when he said, "But of
that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels which are in Heaven, neither the son,
but the Father." (Mark 13:32, and Matt.
24:36) But God knows all. His knowledge is without
any limitations. That Jesus, of his own admission,
did not know when the day of judgment would
be, is clear proof that Jesus is not all-knowing,
and that Jesus is therefore not God.
- GOD
IS ALL-POWERFUL.....BUT JESUS WAS NOT
While Jesus performed many miracles,
he himself admitted that the power he had was
not his own but was derived from God when he
said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, the
Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
the Father do..." (John 5:19) Again he
said, "I can of mine own self do nothing:
As I hear I judge, and my judgment is just because
I seek not mine own will but the will of the
Father which has sent me." (John 5:30)
But God is not only All-Powerful, He is also
the source of all power and authority. That
Jesus, of his own admission, could do nothing
on his own is clear proof that Jesus is not
all-powerful, and that therefore Jesus is not
God.
- GOD
DOES NOT HAVE A GOD.....BUT JESUS DID HAVE A
GOD
God is the ultimate judge and refuge
for all, and He does not call upon nor pray
to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there
was One whom he worshipped and to Whom he prayed
when he said, "I ascend unto my Father
and your Father, and to my God and your God."
(John 20:17) He is also reported to have cried
out while on the cross, "My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46)
If Jesus were God, then couldn't this be read,
"Myself, myself, why hast thou forsaken
me?" Would that not be pure nonsense? When
Jesus prayed the Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:2-4),
was he praying to himself? When in the garden
of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:
Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt."
(Matt. 26:36-39) Was Jesus praying to himself?
That Jesus, of his own admission and by his
own actions, acknowledged, worshipped, and prayed
to another being as God is clear proof that
Jesus himself is not God.
- ACCORDING
TO THE BIBLE GOD IS AN INVISIBLE SPIRIT....
BUT JESUS WAS FLESH AND BLOOD
While thousands saw Jesus and heard his
voice, Jesus himself said that this could not
be done with God when he said: "No man
hath seen God at any time." (John 1:18)
"Ye have neither heard His voice at any
time nor seen His shape." (John 5:37) He
also said in John 4:24: "God is a spirit
and they that worship Him must worship Him in
spirit and in truth." That Jesus would
say that no one had seen or heard God at any
time, while his followers both saw and heard
him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God.
- NO
ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD AND NO ONE CAN DIRECT
HIM.... BUT JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED SOMEONE GREATER
THAN HIMSELF WHOSE WILL WAS DISTINCT FROM HIS
OWN
Perhaps the clearest indication we have
that Jesus and God are not equal, and therefore
not one and the same, come again from the mouth
of Jesus himself who said in John 14:28: "My
Father is greater than I." When someone
referred to him as good master in Luke 18:19,
Jesus responded: "Why callest thou me good?
There is none good but one, that is God..."
Furthermore, Jesus drew clear distinctions between
himself and God when he said, "I proceeded
forth and came from God, neither came I of myself
but He sent me." (John 8:42) Jesus gave
clear evidence of his subordination to God,
rather than his equality with God, when he said
in Luke 22:42, "not my will but Thine be
done" and in John 5:30, "I seek not
mine own will but the will of the Father which
has sent me." That Jesus would admit that
he did not come into the world on his own initiative
but was directed to do so, that he would acknowledge
another being as greater than himself, and that
he would negate his own will in deference to
affirming the will of another, give clear proof
that Jesus is not the Supreme One and therefore
Jesus is not God.
CONCLUSION
The Church recognizes the Bible as the
primary source of knowledge about God and Jesus.
But since the Bible makes it clear that Jesus
is not the Supreme Being and the Supreme Being
is not Jesus, upon what basis have you come to
believe otherwise?
My brother or sister, the belief that the Supreme
Being is a Trinity is false and completely inconsistent
with the words of Jesus as presented in the Bible.
God is one, not three. He is a perfect unity.
If you are interested in the truth about God and
your relationship to Him, we invite you to investigate
the religion of Islam.
WHAT IS THE WORD OF GOD ABOUT JESUS:
-
REGARDING THE SONSHIP OF JESUS:
"That is Jesus, son
of Mary, in word of truth, concerning which
they are doubting. It is not for God to take
a son unto Him. Glory be to Him! When He decrees
a thing, He but says to it 'Be', and it is."
(Qur'an 19:34, 35)
"And they say, 'the All-Merciful has taken
unto Himself a son.' You have indeed advanced
something hideous. The heavens are well nigh
rent of it and the earth split asunder, and
the mountains well nigh fall down crashing for
that they have attributed to the All-Merciful
a son; and it behooves not the All-Merciful
to take a son. None is there in the heavens
and earth but he comes to the All-Merciful as
a servant." (Qur'an 19:88-93)
"Truly the likeness of Jesus, in God's
sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him
of dust, then said He unto him, 'Be', and he
was." (Qur'an 3:59) "People of the
Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion,
and say not as to God but the Truth. The Messiah,
Jesus, son of Mary, was only the Messenger of
God, and His Word that He committed to Mary,
and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and
His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain;
better is it for you. God is only One God. Glory
be to Him - that He should have a son! To Him
belongs all that is in the heavens and in the
earth; God suffices for a guardian." (Qur'an
4:171)
- B.
REGARDING JESUS BEING GOD:
"And when God said, 'O Jesus, son
of Mary, did you say unto men, "Take me
and my mother as gods, apart from God?"'
He said, 'To You be glory! It is not mine to
say what I have no right to. If I indeed said
it, You knew it, knowing what is within my soul,
and I do not know what is within Your soul;
You know the things unseen. I only said to them
what You did command me: "Serve God, my
Lord and your Lord." And I was a witness
over them, while I remained among them; but
when You did take me to Yourself the Watcher
over them; You are the witness of everything.'"
(Qur'an 5:116, 117)
- REGARDING
CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS
"And for their unbelief, and their
uttering against Mary a mighty calumny, and
for their saying, 'We slew the Messiah, Jesus,
son of Mary, the Messenger of God'...yet they
did not slay him, neither crucified him, only
a likeness of that was shown to them. Those
who are at variance concerning him surely are
in doubt regarding him, they have no knowledge
of him, except the following of surmise; and
they did not slay him of certainty...no indeed;
God raised him up to Him; God is Almighty, All-Wise.
There is not one of the People of the Book but
will assuredly believe in him before his death,
and on the Resurrection Day, he will be a witness
against them." (Qur'an 4:156-159)
