thanks for the explanation Peace, although i didn't get the satisfactory answers from it, but that's normal. i've been talking to Christians missionaries about this, but none of them can explain the concept of trinity.
Quote:But the physical embodiment of Christ could not have existed if God had not made him. So there was a little difference I guess.
as i said, if God made him, then he is not the same God as God himself. but, let just leave that matter behind. my faith in Allah would not change anyway....
about the miracles of Jesus, we , muslims, do believe in them. We love Jesus since he is a holy prophet. in fact he is one of the Ulil Azmi ( there are five of them Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) , Isa (Jesus) and Muhammad (peace be upon them all)). and he is also one of the mesengers that received the book from Allah ( Dawud( David) received Zabur(psalm), Musa (Moses) received Taurah (old testament), Isa (Jesus) received Injil (new testament) and Muhammad received Al-Qur'an). all of the prophets were given abilities to perform miracles, like when Moses cut the red sea, Abraham stay alive in the huge flame etc. like what Umm Zachariah quoted "God's supreme agent' <--- the mesenger of God.
if you call them metaphors, i'd prefer to call them 'onthology'.
