Bible Question:
The Muslim says Jesus used to often pray to God (Matt 14:23) Sonship implies father-son equality in characteristics. he son can do what his father can.Since the Father does not pray, neither should the son. Since Jesus did pray, this disproves his sonship to God. Prayer proves subordination and disproves equality. |
Bible Answer: Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who,although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man,He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. After the humbling of incarnation, Jesus further humbled Himself in that He did not demand normal human rights, but subjected Himself to persecution and suffering at the hands of unbelievers and submitted Himself to His Father in order to be a sacrifice for our salvation. |
