ArchivedJESUS IS GOD!!!Christ said the Father is greater than him, but if you want to know the Father, you have to accept the sacrifice of His Son. Jesus said, he is the only way to the Father. Also, Christ humbled Himself: Phillippians 2:5-8>Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Why didn't you post what Christ said: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:18). Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. (John 6:46). Also, Christ said if you see Him you've seen the Father(John 14:9), but no one has seen God in His spiritual form, but through His Son Jesus Christ. When someone called Jesus "good master" in the previous verse, Christ responded by saying no one is good but God. Christ is saying if you are going to call me good, you have to realize that I am God. Also, like Phillippians says, Christ humbled Himself, so even if He wasn't referring to Himself as you claim, that does not mean that He wasn't God. Christ was both God and man. Although He was tempted, He did not sin. Also, where do Muslims get off saying no one can be both God and man? Where is that said by God Himself? If God can make creatures with one body and many heads(refer to Ezekiel 1) then why can't God Himself take on two natures? Are you telling me that the presence of God cannot be in Hell? Then how would God carry out punishment in Hell if He can't be there? The reason Christ descended into hell was to preach to the spirits in prison. (1 Peter 3) A tree is just figurative language to mean the cross. What was the cross made out of? An example of this is, in stead of people saying "money" some say "paper" because money is made out of paper. There are many examples of this. Also, when Christ died on the cross, he was seperated from the Father to bear the sins of the world. But before Christ was put on the cross, He gave His life willingly and said if He wanted to be saved, all He had to do was call upon legions of angels (Matthew 26:53). If a man is about to be slayed by another man and there is nothing he can do to save himself, then he is not God. But Christ could have clearly saved Himself. That is why His death is called a sacrifice. The gospel of Thomas failed the test of authenticity. Their is a measure in which manuscripts must be judged, and that measure is instituted in scripture by God Himself. Don't you Muslims judge which Hadiths are true and which are false? As for the Isaiah passage you just quoted from, Christ was not discouraged by the mission of dying on the cross and when Christ returns He will establish justice on earth. And Christ can be chosen by God and be God at the sametime. That's just the way it is, and that is not illogical by the standards of God whatsoever. Jesus is god incarnate. The Father sends Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of man and in order for you to get to the Father, you have to accept Christ's sacrifice. Christ is both God and man. How is Christ praying to the Father, who is spirit, mean that he is not the Son of God? When we pray we are to pray to the Father in Jesus' name. Why is this so hard to understand? You want to get too deep and not accept it the way it is. When someone says 2+2=4, do you ask them why? No, you just accept it because that's how it is. The Father sends the Son, the Son prays to the Father, the Son dies on the cross, the Son sends the Holy spirit to bear witness to these events. This is just the way it is. If you want to say this, then fine. but in order for you to know the Father, you have to accept the sacrifice of His Son. And when you pray to the Father, it has to be in Jesus' name. The Father is God in His essence, Jesus is God in the flesh, and the Holy Spirit is God revealing the truth in man. In time I will respond to the rest of your post(if someone else doesn't). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The scriptures do not contradict themselves. You have to put the pieces of the puzzle together. One witness might give an account for what someone said, and another witness might give an account of what the same person said, but mention whatelse the person had said. |
