1 | Good grief | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11023 | ||
Mark 10:17 As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. How can Jesus, who even refuses to be called "good" could have allowed any one to worship him? Did not Jesus himself pray more than a dozen times to God, according to the Gospels? |

2 | Father in heaven | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11104 | ||
How is it possible that God can pray to God? Would his prayer be an expiation for his sins? Shouldn't he be giving an example of praying to himself, because is not Jesus the focus of Christian prayers? If he was giving an example of praying to the Father in heaven, should we not be following his example? Koran 4:171 O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for God is one God. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs. |

3 | that they may be one as we are one | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11141 | ||
I don't think he lied. But why go to the extreme of him LYING or him claiming to be GOD? There's no middle option? But you forget that in John 17:11 Jesus says: John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. Now he says "that THEY may be one EVEN as we are" So, either he is lying or maybe we should all be worshipping each other as God --- just like he is One with God,all of us should be One with God (in his words we should be one with God in the SAME WAY he is one with God, not figuratively correct?) Also dont forget John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one Again he claims that we can be one with God just like he is.. Are you sure he is implying we can be divine (part of the trinity/son of God) as he is? I think that he did not mean "I am one with God" literally, but he meant one with God in Purpose, not substance. The discliples could not become One With God like he was, but they can be one in purpose, just as Jesus and the Father are one in Purpose. |

4 | father, son, spirit | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11371 | ||
Sounds good to me :) 2 questions: 1: Would you call me a Christian if i prayed to only the father? 2: Do these people believe in the Divinity of Christ? or the Trinity? |

5 | Belief in All of Jesus | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11375 | ||
Okay I agree with you. There are two points in your email, one about christianity and one about islam. let me ask about the first one: before i start I would like to ask you to please reply with the verse for "He also told us no other would come after him (except to deceive) until he came again" Do you believe he is the last Prophet of God? Now you say we cant pick and choose the verses we want to believe in, okay fine. then please explain this verse: John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are." John 17:22 "I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one" In his words we should be one with God in the SAME WAY he is One with God, not figuratively correct? Please explain, Isa PS i will post seperately for your other question. |

6 | The name Jesus | John 1:1 | userdoe217 | 10753 | ||
Sorry I did not realise i had to declare my faith. Please take a look at my other post. :) But I would be surprised if you could find quotes in the Quran that prove the divinity of Christ, No, I am not trying to tear down your faith - yet I have seen quotes that seem to disprove his divinity in the Bible. Then again, I may be wrong, Hopefully you can "show me the ropes" around here. Eesa (Arabic) (Jesus is Esau in Hebrew) Anyone know where the name Jesus came from? |

7 | and the word was God | John 1:14 | userdoe217 | 10751 | ||
Greatings Tim, thanks for your time. Yes I am muslim. I am right now not in agreement that Jesus is God, maybe you could clarify: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Okay, then let me ask about this verse. If the "Word" is Jesus, then is this the translation: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Jesus, and the Jesus was with God, and the Jesus was God. How can Jesus be WITH God, if he IS God? God was with God? |

8 | spirit/soul | John 1:14 | userdoe217 | 11022 | ||
Whats the difference between a soul and a spirit? They seem the same to me. Thanks, Isa |
||||||
9 | Jesus is a Prophet? | John 9:17 | userdoe217 | 11025 | ||
Does this not infer that Jesus was a Prophet (Messenger of God) and not God himself? Thanks, Isa |
||||||
10 | Father | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11110 | ||
I took your advice Ed, and read John 10 I seem to "Be the first to leave a note or question about this verse" about a lot of verses eh? :) Now I ask you, Does not Jesus say in John 10:29 Again, that the Father is greater than all? Shouldn't we believe Jesus? and does not John 10:9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[1] He will come in and go out, and find pasture. say that he is the gate, meaning he is the means to reach God (The Father), but not the end? |
||||||
11 | jesus is man | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11142 | ||
How can he be both God and Man? That seems to defy logic. When did he stop being "son of man" and start being "son of God"? Did God enter his body at a certain moment and he became divine? Thanks Steve, Isa |

12 | 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 |

13 | son of man | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11197 | ||
Thank you for your answer Ray, but I do not really understand the subtle difference between "son of Man" and "son of man" Please elaborate. Thank you, Isa |

14 | non-christians | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11362 | ||
"One thing that really bothers me is the fact that a split second after you die you are going to realize how deceived you are. Unfortunately it will be then too late. That my Islamic friend tears my heart out." I don't know about this, but what does christianity teach about others who do not accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour? When they die, do they go to hell? |

15 | Father greater than Jesus | John 14:28 | userdoe217 | 11012 | ||
I wanted to thank everyone especially Tim who has been answering most of my questions, and Jim who has been really inviting. Does this mean that according to Jesus, the Father is greater than him? Yours truly, Isa |

16 | Father and Son | John 14:28 | userdoe217 | 11013 | ||
This is an old question that was not answered, so I wish to reask in hopes that someone will answer: How do the Father and the Son relate to each other? I don't wish to open up a discussion on whether the Trinity is accurate. My question begins with the assumption that it is true that God has one essence but 3 persons in relationship. Nor is this question related to the relationships between the Father and the Spirit or the Spirit and the Son. My questions are: 1) What are some of the many passages that describe the ways that the Father and the Son relate to one another? 2) What can we learn about God from these passages? Please give verses and observations. |

17 | One born of God cannot sin? | 1 John 3:9 | userdoe217 | 11024 | ||
There are no notes about this verse, so I would like to be the first to ask what does this mean? One born of God cannot sin? Thanks, Isa |

May I ask, what is an amplified bible? Isa |

19 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 10664 | ||
I'm sorry but you must be mistaken. Muslims don't believe only 144,000 people are going to heaven. I may be mistaken, but where did you hear this? Thank you. Isa |
||||||
20 | me | Revelation | userdoe217 | 11106 | ||
For the original questions you replied to, I read the replies, and I am thinking about a response. Since you are probably correct, and since I do not have a Greek bible, nor do I understand Greek, I will leave it as it is. For the newer questions I have posted are not so complicated, I am replying to them. Thank you for writing about John 1:1 Isa |
