1 | The Throne of God or Man? | Ps 45:6 | userdoe217 | 11015 | ||
Thought you might find this interesting, the Qur'an has 40 verses about the Throne: Here is one: 3:86 Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme?" 25:59 He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): Allah Most Gracious: ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things). PS, Allah in arabic comes from "Al" (The) and "Ilah" (God), used by Arab Christians, Jews, and Muslims to signify God. |

2 | 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? |

3 | 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. |

4 | 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. |

I totally agree! God clearly said there is one God, Deut. 6:4 "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! Mark 12:29 Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; Isa |

6 | Father in heaven | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11172 | ||
One of the miracles of the Quran is that hundreds of people are alive today that have fully memorized it in its original Arabic form. I unfortunately am not a scholar of the Quran but I will try to do the book justice. Let me know, if you like I will explain each verse (to the best of my knowledge) you have listed below. 3:45 "Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. " God himself (not Muhammad), testifies that Christ Jesus is in the company of those closest to himself "held in honor in this world and the hereafter". Yes you are correct. you also quoted 42:5 "... and the angels celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on earth" This isn't a command to the prophet, but it exactly what it says, that the angels in heaven celebrate the praises of their lord, and pray for the forgiveness of mankind. in Chapter 48, God says "Verily We have granted thee a manifest Victory: That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfil His favour to thee; and guide thee on the Straight Way; " So God says he will forgive thee (the prophet) of thy faults of the past and those to follow (Past and Future sins - forgiven) So the concept of sinless is not exactly correct, both prophet Muhammad and prophet Jesus were both men of God (not perfect, they make mistakes too), so they committed very few sins, but they were sinless in the way that they were forgiven of their sins that they committed. Even though this may have been true, the Prophet said even though his past and future sins were forgiven, he was more god concious than the rest of us, he would do anything to please his lord, praying all night, and sometimes so much that God said: 73:20 Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy); read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. He prayed not only as an example for others, but for the love of his Lord. if you prayed truly ONLY to the Father, it would be better, and isnt this acceptable in Christianity? 2:62 Lo! those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. yes, devout muslims will argue for the sinlessness of Prophet Muhammad, but what does that have to do with anything? I agree that all prophets of God are forgiven of their sins! Prophet Muhammad was nothing special in that respect. Prophet Muhammad was mentioned only 4 times by name in the Quran, Jesus 25 times. This shows you that you can still believe in Jesus, PRAY to the Father (like he taught) and still go to heaven. Thats what islam teaches you. Yours truly, Isa |

7 | 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? |

8 | 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. |

9 | Is Jesus God? | John 1:1 | userdoe217 | 10609 | ||
Please allow me quote from the New American Standard Bible the entire text as it appears in Ch.20:27-28 from John's Gospel: "Then he (Jesus) said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands, and reach here your hand, and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" 1. Please observe the mark of exclamation (!) at the end of the phrase. (Note: K.J.V. has removed the exclamation mark). 2. Please observe there was no question asked in the entire narration. Hence, the text which reads "Thomas answered" is inaccurate. 3. The last phrase "My Lord and my God!" was not an *answer* but an outburst of *exclamation* by Thomas, having seen something inexplicable and baffling. Often, we too cry out; "O' my God!" when we see something totally bizarre or grotesque. 4. To prove that the above explanation is not my concocted theory, below are the texts from two reputed versions of the Bible that support this theory. a. In the New English Bible it reads: Thomas said, "My Lord and my God!" b. In the Phillips Modern English Bible it reads: "My Lord and my God!" cried Thomas. |

10 | 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? |

11 | Jesus is the son of man | John 1:14 | userdoe217 | 10663 | ||
Jesus was son of man. My proof: a) "and the Word (Jesus) was *with* God" (John 1:1). (b) "He (Jesus) was in the beginning *with* God" (John 1:2). (c) "And the Word (Jesus) *became* flesh" (John 1:14) either at the *beginning* or after the act of *becoming* happened, "Jesus" who was "with" God or "became" flesh, had to be either an additional, other, different, distinct, or dissimilar entity than the God. Now, please read the following: "No one can serve two masters;..." Matthew 6:24 If you wish choose the ONE and the only Master, please read; "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen." 1 Timothy 1:17 |

12 | 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? |

15 | 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? |

16 | 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 |

18 | 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 |

You say that there was no garauntee it would work, but in the Quran there is no question about defeating the devil, or any question about whether the devil is greater. Anything that the devil (Satan) does, is by the will of God. Anything that is in the will of God will come true, garaunteed, fullstop, period, end of story. God does not make mistakes. 15:39 He said: My Lord, Because Thou has sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one. 15:40 Save such of them as are Thy perfectly devoted slaves. 15:41 He said: This is a right course incumbent upon Me: 15:42 Lo! as for My slaves, thou hast NO POWER over any of them save such of the froward as FOLLOW THEE, 15:43 And lo! for all such, hell will be the promised place. It's a test, my friend. |
