ArchivedMuslims make futile arguments on whether Christ is God......Peace rejectnotfaith, Who is Jesus Christ to you? Understand that Jesus Christ was born ofa virgin, He was not created by two sex cells. Realize that Jesus Christ was not from Mankind, He is not related to any other human being in this world. Is it farfetched to say that Jesus Christ was always a heavenly being? A heavenly King? Jesus claimed to have a kingdom not of this world. Is He an angel? But God calls no angel His Son. Here is a selection from an Zoroastrian scribe that asks the same questions that you ask. The Shkand-gumanig Vizar (Doubt-dispelling exposition) Chapter 14. 31. And there are some even who say that the Messiah is the sacred being himself. 32. Now this is very strange, when the mighty sacred being, the maintainer and cherisher of the two existences, became of human nature, and went into the womb of a woman who was a Jew. 33. To leave the lordly throne, the sky and earth, the celestial sphere and other similar objects of his management and protection, he fell (aupast), for concealment, into a polluted and straitened place, (34) and, finally, delivered his own body to scourging, execution on the tree (dar-kardih), and the hands of enemies, (35) while, apart from death, much brutality and lawlessness were arranged by them. 36. If they speak of his having been inside the womb of a woman for the reason that the sacred being exists in every place, (37) that implies that being inside the womb of a woman, through existence in every place, is not more antagonistic than being in any very polluted and very fetid place; (38) and, along with that, that the faultiness of speaking of all places as having been the property of the sacred being is manifold, (39) because, if they were so, in like manner the speaking of anything whatever that is devoid of the existence of the sacred being is strange. 40. Again, as to that which they say, that death and execution on the tree were accepted by him, as a yoke, for the sake of demonstrating the resurrection to mankind, (41) that implies -- if it were not possible for him to demonstrate the resurrection to mankind, except through that disgrace and death and brutal treatment of himself -- that that omnipotence of his is not effectual. 42. Or, when no opponent and adversary whatever of his arose, why are they not made without doubt of that sort of clear knowledge which is imparted by seeing the resurrection, so that there would not have been a necessity for this mode of demonstrating it brutally, disgracefully, distressingly, and through the will of his enemies. 43. If that death were accepted by him, as a yoke of a new description, through his own will, (44) that implies that now his outcry of woe and curses for the executioners, and his considering those Jews as it were wrathfully are unreasonable. 45. He ought, indeed, not to cause curses and imprecations of woe upon them, but it is fitting for them to be worthy of recompense through that deed. This Zoroastrian cannot understand how God "the maintainer and cherisher of the two existences" could limit Himself on earth as a man. He cannot understand God transcending into the world in a imperfect human. He cannot comprehend a God who would suffer at the hands of men for all of us. Understand, rejectnotfaith, that Islam reflects the same humanistic view of God as the Persians. You see God as this mighty being who does not love mankind enough to do something amazing for us. Well, God loves mankind more than to give us a book, you know? God reveals to us that He has a Son in 2 Samuel 7:13 and Psalm 2. This Son of God is also called the Son of Man and He is God's servant. It was said in scripture that He would bear our sins. Isaiah 53:4-6 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Christians didn't make anything up about Christ being pierced for our sins, this is a reality that was predicted in scripture. When someone becomes a Christian, they are accepting a reality that may not be acceptable to some, accepting a God with so much love for sinful mankind may be too much for some people. Why do many innocent people dies or are born deformed or retarted because of inherited physical diseases? Is this a fair loving God we worship? What kind of God lets people inherit genetic diseases? What kind of God lets people inherit natural spiritual disease called Original Sin? Man has brought these curses upon ourselves because of Adam and Eve. This is absolutely true because we inherit physical imperfections. We also inherit spiritual imperfections. Only God can tear down the barrier of Original Sin. Only through the reddeming actions of Christ our Savior can we overcome the barrier of Original Sin which keeps us away from being right with God. |
