You know we do not agree about the nature of Jesus or God for that fact. If we both agreed than we'd both be Christians or I'd be Muslim.
I think your treatment of the bible concerning the divinity of Jesus is reaching at best. I think a better defense to the claim that Jesus is God would be to try to discount the bible as a whole.
Belief in the Trinity or Jesus is not based on blind faith. The fact of Jesus' diety and the Trinity is rooted in scripture. The council of Nicea only wrote down what had been Christian doctrine since Jesus ascended into heaven and left his diciples to preach the good news.
Your treatment of the word "Lord" is choosy. They are also many biblical references where "Lord" is used for God.
Quote:God grants miracles to all his prophets
What miracles did Mohammed achieve? Did he heal the sick? Feed the multitude? Walk on water? Raise people from the dead? Forgive sins? Calm the storm???? No. Cleary Jesus and Mohammed aren't on the same plane. If Jesus was merely a Prophet like Mohammed (who is Allah's greatest prophet) then why did Jesus do all these miracles and why did Jesus not die on earth while Mohammed did?
Maybe that is another topic. Wouldn't want to upset Muslimah, you are right.
I appreciate the greater understanding I have of Muslim Monotheism from your points.
