A Muslim person I know prosed the following questions, and I wasn't actually sure how to answer them exactly. Obviously since all the scripture used is Biblical then it belongs here. I am absolutely a Christian, but I need help in responding to this.
Different Wills
John 5:30 "I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me."
if Jesus(pbuh) is God, then how can he not seek his own will?
John 4:34 "Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish His work.' "
Jesus(pbuh)doing not his will, but the will of the one that sent him
John 6:38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him who sent me."
If Jesus(pbuh) is God then how can he not do his own will?
Luke 22:42 "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from me; nevertheless not my will, but Yours, be done."
Here we see Jesus(pbuh) praying to God to save him, though again not seeking his own will, but the will of the “father”. So we have 2 different wills at work.
Matthew 20:23 He said to them, "My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father."
If Jesus(pbuh) is God, then how is sitting at his right or left hand not his to give?
KNOWLEDGE
Mark 13:32 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."
Self explanatory-God knows something Jesus(pbuh) does not, so how can Jesus(pbuh) be God.?
The teaching is not his
John 7:16 So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me."
What??how can Jesus(pbuh) be God and yet the teaching not be his?
By the way.all those verses above where Jesus(pbuh)acknowledges he was Sent, the sendee is not greater than the sender
John 13:16 "Jesus said; 'Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither one who is sent greater than the One who sent him.' "
John 10:29 "My Father is greater than all."
John 14:28 "My Father is greater than I."

I believe Christ is Lord. In an effort to expand my knowledge could you help me out here guys? The person was claiming the Bible denied the Trinity based on this.
