Quote:Bismillah:
Was he the God of the OT? So am going to repeat the same question that I’ve asked on the other thread, if he was God then how come he did not know about the hour when it will be?
Jesus said that <b>he was sent by God</b>, he said that he cast out devil <b>with the finger of God</b>, he said <b>all power is given into me</b>, NOT HIS OWN
. am not sure how can anyone say that he is God when <b>Jesus' power was not HIS OWN</b>? do you believe that God is powerless?
Salam
Wael.
The hour of his death? You state that Jesus didn't know the hour of his death?
Matthew 26
<b>1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, 2 “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”</b>
<b>He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. 12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.</b>
<b>17 Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” </b>
18 And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’”
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
20 When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”
23 He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?”
He said to him, “You have said it.”
<b>26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” </b>
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new[c] covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
It goes on and on. Jesus knew the hour of his death. He willfully submitted to that death on our behalf.
As a side note Wel Mel. Jesus, you say never claimed to be the Messiah or God. Why then does he say that his blood will be shed for remission of sins???
