Quote:"AbuNoranAnswer this for me:
How can he be God when you keep saying that God breathed his holy spirit in Jesus?[/quote:91f8206125]
If it was true, How could the World and Heavens exsit when Jesus was crusified? God would be dead?
Or how about the time Jesus was in the desert, he hasn't ate or drank water for a while. He has become weak and and very tired. Satan comes to to Jesus to offer Jesus the World if he were to join Satan, and go against God's will.
Why would Satan offer the creator of all things, Allah (SWT) the world? God has made the unniverse, he even created Satan
Matter of fact he has to answer AboNuran and Todd too :?

How can God die? Why is that Muslims say God can do anything but then when confronted by God becoming man in order to set an example, you deny it saying that
"How could the World and Heavens exsit when Jesus was crusified? God would be dead?"
God can do anything.
Why did Jesus say to the devil
when the devil was tempting Him, "It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God?"
The Devil tempted God, tempted Jesus, look at the statement again.
In regard to the statement "Why would Satan offer the creator of all things, Allah (SWT) the world? God has made the unniverse, he even created Satan"
That's a valid point but here's another valid point, Why does the Devil bother upsetting humanity in the first place when it knows that it cannot overcome that which created its very being?
Jesus(God)'s rebuffing of the offer is an example to us all, that when evil offers to buy us off, we should as God did, refuse.
Remember the Devil has free will, that free will allows the Devil to go against God, just as a rowdy teenager has the option of going against the parents, although the former is on a much grander scale.
The Qur'an - Jesus - wel_mel - 06-03-2003
whisper,
the very Bible which is used as a basis for knowledge about Jesus and as the basis for doctrine within Christianity clearly belies this claim. We urge you to consult your own Bible and verify that the following conclusions are not drawn out of context:
1. God is All Knowing… but Jesus was not When speaking of the day of judgment . Jesus clearly gave evidence of a limitation on his knowledge when he said, "but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the son, but the Father." Mark 13:32, and Matt 24:36. But God knows all. His knowledge is without any limitations. That Jesus, of his own admission, did not know when the day of judgment would be, is clear proof that Jesus is not all-knowing, and that Jesus is therefore not God.
2. God is All Powerful… but Jesus was not While Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the power he had was not his own but was derived from God when he said, "Verily , verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do…" St John 5:19. Again he said, " I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." St John 5:30. But God is not only all-powerful, He is also the source of all power and authority. That Jesus, of his own admission, could do nothing on his own is clear proof that Jesus is not all-powerful, and that therefore Jesus is not God.
3. God does not have a God… but Jesus did have a God. God is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was one whom he worshipped and to whom he prayed when he said, "I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." St John 20:17. He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me? " Matt 27:46. If Jesus were God, then couldn't this be read, "Myself, myself why hast thou forsaken me?" Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the Lord's prayer (Luke 11:2-4) was he praying to himself? When in the garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible , let this cup pass from me: Nevertheless not as I will but as thou will" Matt 26:36-39. Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own admission and by his own actions, acknowledged worshipped, and prayed to another being as God is clear proof that Jesus himself is not God.
4. God is an invisible spirit… but Jesus was flesh and blood while thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God when he said. "No man hath seen God at any time." St John 1:18. "Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." St John 5:37. He also said in St John 4:24." God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." That Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard God at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God.
5. No one is greater than God and no one can direct Him but Jesus acknowledged someone greater than himself whose will was distinct from his own. Perhaps the clearest indication we have that Jesus and God are not equal, and therefore not one and the same, come again from the mouth of Jesus himself who said in St John 14:28, "My Father is greater than I." When someone referred to him as good master in Matt 19:17, Jesus responded, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one , that is God…" Furthermore, Jesus drew clear distinctions between himself and God when he said, " I proceeded forth and came from God, neither came I of myself but He sent me." St John 8:42. Jesus gave clear evidence of his subordination to God, rather than his equality with God, when he said in Luke 22:42, "not my will but thine be done" and in St John 5:30, "I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which hath sent me." That Jesus would admit that he did not come into the world on his own initiative but was directed to do so, that he would acknowledge another being as greater than himself, and that he would negate his own will in deference to affirming the will of another, give clear proof that Jesus is not the Supreme One and therefore Jesus is not God.
Conclusion The Church recognizes the Bible as the primary source of knowledge about God and Jesus. But since the Bible makes it clear that Jesus is not the Supreme Being and the Supreme Being is not Jesus, upon what basis have come to believe otherwise?
Whisper, the belief that the Supreme Being is a trinity is false and completely inconsistent with the words of Jesus as presented in the Bible. God is One not three. He is a perfect unity.
If you are interested in the truth about God and your relationship to Him, we invite you to investigate the religion of Islam.
What is the word of God about Jesus:
A. Regarding Sonship of Jesus: That is Jesus , son of Mary, in word of truth, concerning which they are doubting. It is not for God to take a son unto Him. Glory be to Him! When he decrees a thing he but says to it "Be", and it is (Qur'an 19:34,35).
And they say, "The All-merciful has taken unto Himself a son." You have indeed advanced something hideous. The heavens are well nigh rent of it and the earth split asunder, and the mountains well nigh fall down crashing for that they have attributed to the All-Merciful a son; and it behoves not the All-Merciful to take a son. None is there in the heavens and earth but comes to the All-Merciful as a servant (Qur'an 19:88-93).
Truly the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight, is a Aadam's likeness; He created him of dust , then said He unto him, "Be" and he was (Qur'an 3:59).
People of the Book , go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the Truth. The Messiah, Jesus , son of Mary , was only the Messenger of God, and His word that He committed to Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers and say not "Three". Refrain better is it for you. God is only One god. Glory be on Him- that He should have a son! To Him belongs that which is in the heavens and on the earth, God suffices for a guardian (Qur'an 4:171)
B. Regarding Jesus being God: And when God said. "O Jesus son of Mary, did you say unto men, "Take me and my mother as gods , apart from God? He said, "To you be Glory!" It is not mine to say what I have no right to. If I indeed said it, you knew it, knowing that is within my soul, and I do not know what is within Your soul; You know the things unseen. I only said to them what You did command me: "Serve God my Lord and your Lord." And I was a witness over them, while I remained among them; but when You did take me to Yourself the Watcher over them; You are witness of everything (Quran 5:116,117)
C. Regarding Crucifiction of Jesus: And for their unbelief, and their uttering against a Mary a mighty calumny, and for their saying, "we slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary the Messenger of God"… yet they did not slay him, neither crucified him , only a likeness of that was shown to them. Those who are at variance concerning him surely are in doubt regarding him, they have no knowledge of him, except the following of surmise; and they did not slay him of certainty… no indeed , God raised him up to Him; God is Almighty, All-Wise. There is not one of the people of the Book but will assuredly believe in him before his death, and on the Resurrection Day he will be a witness against them (Qur'an 4:156-159)
