1 | Why Jesus prays to his Father | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11162 | ||
May you be blessed too my friend Ed, Yes the Quran teaches that he is sinless and I should accept his word, but if you are going to accept the Quran, then by that argument alone he is not son of God Quran 9:31 They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah. there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him). I believe that his words have been misinterpreted, and some of them may not really be the words of Jesus himself but they were later added. James Dunn in his book The Evidence for Jesus writes: "If they were aprt of the original words of Jesus himself, how could it be that Only John picked them up and None of the others? Call it scholarly skepticism if you like, but I find it almost incredible that such sayings should have been neglected Had they been known as a feature of Jesus' teaching. If the 'I ams' had been part of the original tradition, it is very hard indeed to explain why none of the other three evangelists made use of them." (page 36) I believe the "I ams" he is referring to are: John 8:12, John 10:7, John 11:25, and John 15:1 About the cleansing thru Jesus, are you saying the Father does not love us enough or we are not important enough to pray to him directly that we need to pray to Jesus first? And more importantly did not Jesus set an example for us to Pray to the Father? And What about the prophets and mankind before Jesus? They have been praying to God direct all this time, why now after hundreds of years do we suddenly need cleansing before praying to God? God doesn't love us enough that we can ask him as the Father for something, like Jesus did so often, and did he not say that the Father is greater than him? and he even clarified that the Father is not only HIS father, but anyone can call God "Father", Matthew 23:9 "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And more to the point: John 20:17 Jesus *said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'" If Jesus is God, that means the Father is God of God, correct? How can God have a God? This bewilders me! Now on another note You said "Notice there was many witnesses present and if this were not true secular history would have recorded this attempted lie. " Please do not be offended, I am only presenting the evidence, But does not the Bible teach that the Earth is 10,000 years old? The secular world deny this claim, claiming the earth is billions of years old? The Quran makes no such claim about this young Earth. Does not the Bible claim there was a worldwide flood? The Quran makes no such claim that it was a worldwide flood (again the concept of a worldwide flood is denied in the scientific world). I suggest you should take a look, I think you will find the most beautiful stories in the Quran which you have also read in the Bible. Stories of David, Solomon, Lot, Job, Noah, and so on, except Solomon never had 1000 wives and concubines, nor did he make a temple for the worship of idols (sinless), neither did Lot insestually seduce his daughters night after night (sinless), nor did David commit adultery (sinless), and Noah never got drunk (sinless). These prophets were chosen because they were righteous people. They would never commit such attrocities as the Bible depicts. Infact there are many scientific truths in the Quran such as: All life originated from water. 21:30 Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? The earth is round 21:33 It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course. These are some of the reasons I am still disbelieve in the divinity of Christ. Isa |

2 | Why Jesus prays to his Father | John 10:29 | Dino Bencini | 33693 | ||
Hello every one, Jesus said I am the way the TRUTH and the life noone comes to the father but by me. 1. There is only one way to stand before almighty God and that is sinless, being spotless, being JUSTIFIED (declared righteous) by the blood of Jesus. Once you are spotless you can speak directly to God. We just use Jesus's name because this show everyone who qualifies us to stand spotless before God. There is also power in that name, thats why satan doesn't want us to use it. Satan wants us to try earn our righteous by our own works because he knows we'll fail, but we need to accept Gods righteousness by FAITH as a free gift from God by believeing in Jesus and what his precious blood bought for us at calvery. 1. Christians didn't coin the term Son of God with reference to Jesus, but God himself on various occasians. After Jesus was baptised he was filled with the holy spirit and God said "This is my son in whom I am well pleased", this happened again when the deciples and Jesus were on a mountain and moses and Elija appeared. 2.The reason old testiment people didn't pray in Jesus name is obviouse that Jesus hadn't been born yet, these people would be cleansed through the sacrifice of an animal being symbolic of Jesus's death. Back in Abrhams day the 10 commandments hadn't arrived yet so his only sin was the sin he inherited from Adam, but God cut a tremendous covenant with him and because he BELIEVED God counted it unto him as righteousness. A good way to believe in Jesus being part of the trinity is to take a look a an egg. An Egg represents Yolk, White and shell. God the father, Jesus his son and the holy spirit. I am an earthly father, I have a son but we are both HUMAN. Eg... FATHER, SON - GOD |
