Peace rejectnotfaith,
17 Let us see whether his words be true; let us find out what will happen to him.
18 For if the just one be the son of God, he will defend him and deliver him from the hand of his foes.
19 With revilement and torture let us put him to the test that we may have proof of his gentleness and try his patience.
20 Let us condemn him to a shameful death; for according to his own words, God will take care of him."
21 These were their thoughts, but they erred; for their wickedness blinded them
All these verses imply the priests fear of Jesus (may peace by upon him) and the truth that he brough with him, a threat to their power and threat to their ancestral beliefs. They wanted this to stop for according to historical contexts Jesus (may peace by upon him) was gaining followers and the empire was fear of threat. But this is where it must honestly stop, for Jesus(may peace by upon him) a rightous prophet and honorable man would not tell an astray people that he is God, for he wanted them to go back to God. Then you will say I know that, but Jesus is the Son of God, or God or whatever, and that Trinity is what REAL christians believe. But in my mind and in the religion of Islam it is a simple message "ONE GOD" not three in one or one in three. Not to divide God into three parts, but in essence He is one. Just one, very simple.
At least you agreed with the above.
However, here you told me nothing.
The Pharisees wanted to test to see if Jesus was the Son of God.
They were going to put himn to a shameful death (Crucifixion), to see if He is the Son of God.
Jesus did admit to being the Son of God
Matthew 26:63-66
The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
65Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66What do you think?"
"He is worthy of death," they answered.
Matthew 27:43
He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
Thus the Words of Wisdom were verifed by the Gospels!!!
It is true to the word that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He was put to death!!! This is REAL and here it is proven
13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
It is suprising to most Christians that in Islam Jesus (may peace be upon him) is expected to return on that Hour. His return will be glorious one, but the only difference in this compared to Daniel vision, is like that of all prophets and angels they always come in the name of God, and nations will not worship Jesus (may peace be upon him) but in God as Jesus spent his whole life trying to preach.
Jesus is the Son of Man who Himself is being worshipped and served by the nations!
See how this is verified by the Gospels!
Matthew 26:63-66
The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Jesus is the Son of God and Man!
Psalm 110:1
The LORD says to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet."
According to your analyzation my friend you said "From this we see that the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days are both the Lord!" I have always believed that Satins ultimate goal in life ever since he had been cast down from heaven by God was to seperate man from God and his Oneness. For in the Quran it is said that Satan(Iblis) said that he will wait for man in the Straight Path and attack from man from their left, right, back and front. What a better way than to seperate man from God that to establish a man as God, what better way to destroy the simple idea of a oness of God than to establish a Trinity (which means three), and again you will say Trinity is One or something like that. A very simple idea: either one or three, not three in one, do not divide God up into parts and reunite Him into one. Proclaim! He is One and Absolute!
You NEVER said a word about what King David saw.
David saw the Lord(Father) giving the Lord(Jesus) power and dominion at His right hand. This corresponds with Daniel's vision and what Jesus said to the Pharisees about ascending to the right hand of the Father!
Satan wants to blind you to the Truth!
The Truth is so blatant and fully verified throughout scriptures!
Jesus is the Son of God and Man, He is the Lord, and He is at the right hand of the Father in Power!
Man, this is REAL. This IS! You reject reality by accepting the Quran which is FALSE.
Mark 2:5-7
5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
6Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7"Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
In Islam the relationship between man and God is a personal one, in other words one on one. However in Churches priests due that in confessions, do priests also have the Power of God? Can Popes keep people out of heaven by excommunication, do they too have the power of God? I know you will not believe, but Jesus (may peace be upon him) could not forgive sins, only God can do that. Yet you argue that Jesus has the Power of God. Okay fine. Yet Islam believes that any miracles done by any prophets are by leave of God. Forgiving sins is only meant for God to control, for God controls both heaven and hell. Do you let someone else tell other people if they can enter your house?
What you say is not what is said in these verses.
Christ Himself actually forgave the man's sins.
Jesus NEVER asked permission by the Father before forgiving others' sins. He did it out of His own Power. Since Jesus was also God, He did possess the Power of God.
Mark 2:27
Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
I am confused my friend. Sabbath is the day when God rested? Right? Before I go one let my introduce another point that in Islam God did not rest, because He does not fatigue, for He is All Mighty. But going on, according to the God resting on this day how is it that this did not apply to God who is in direct relation to Sabbath (because God created the universe) and Jesus (may peace be upon him) is?
Why do you take verything so literally?
Do you really think my God is "resting" in a human sense??
God created the entire universe in 6 days, now He is letting the universe take it's course. He is still active, but He isn't creating anymore things. He lets the universe take it's course. Technically to God, this is still the 7th day. Anyways, it is figurative, but God wants us to have a day to rest. It is important that we have time to rest and reflect on God.
Ah! My friend this is one of my FAVORITE passages from the Holy Bible! I love this part. But let me explain. Faith is an amazing thing for Jesus (may peace be upon him) procalimed that with a grain of faith one can make the mountains move, and with this faith He made the winds and water obey! This is true expect he made the forces of nature obey by God's leave. As Moses(may peace be upon him) split the red sea, not because he had power nor because his rod had power, but because of God.
I hope this is satisfactory
May peace fall unto my friend
Yes, that is a fascinating story!
Moses didn't split the sea, God did. God instructed Moses to lift his staff to part the sea. Jesus just stopped the weather by himself. Jesus was quite awesome!
I appreciate you giving commentary on these difficult verses, but you seem so reluctant to realize what is in front of you!
There many verses here from old scriptures that is verified by the Gospels and proves that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God and the Lord! This is not some made-up set of beliefs, but a well backed up and verified set of beliefs.
