Quote:Just because God Almitghy is able to send <b>' his son' </b> would that mean to you that He<b> 'can really’ </b> do such thing? No of course not.
<b>Yes I believe that if he is able to do something, then he can really do it.</b>
If you are able to do something, it means you have the ability. If even possessing the ability to do something, you dont feel you can do it, it must be because you don't have someone's permission to do that thing.
But God both is able to do anything He wants, because He is Almighty, and He can do anything he wants, because He is Supreme (He does not need anyone's permission)
Quote:Since God is the source of justice, mercy and truth. God can never be thought of as doing an ungodly act. Hence we cannot imagine God telling a lie, being unjust, making a mistake, forgetting things, <b>or having any such human failings.</b> Similarly God <b>can do injustice if He chooses to</b>, <b>but He will never do it </b> because being unjust is an ungodly act. this is a foolish logic that some people say that God can do ANYTHING... of course He can if he chooses to do so but anything that He is going to do must be GODLY thing.
<b>But is He restricted to doing just the things that you will think are GODLY?</b>
I believe He can do anything He wants to do, including sending his Son to Earth, and allowing His Son to assume the sins of mankind.
Quote:also God can send some kind of 'son' if He chooses so, but the moment He do that, He ceases to be God.
<b>Are you saying that if God does something you think is not a Godly thing, that he just ceases to be God to you, or that you have the power to deprive him of his status as God?</b>
Quote:He will not be God anymore, <b>The act of begetting is a physical act </b> and such act is against God’s nature. The Qur’an 19:35 says:
"It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter He only says to it <b>"Be," and it is." </b> (Maryam 19:35)
<b>Begetting is a physical act; It is the act of procreation or sexual intercourse.</b>
As I indicated above, God did not have sexual intercorse with the Virgin Mary. He sent his seed directly into her womb, and she gave birth to His Son while still being a virgin.
