Let the debate begin-Round One

[Rock]

The question is:


With God, what has he told us that his name is? If Jesus was going to say that he was God to a group of Jews, well versed in the Torah, what would he have called himself?


Would he have said "I am God, so worship me?"


Or would he have used the name that God Himself promised he would use? Would he use the name that God explicitly said would be his name for generations in dealing with his people?


He used that name, and you deny that he did. But, that's the way it goes, I suppose. Thank goodness we have the rest of the New Testament, which clarifies the issue for those of us who are gentiles, and who are not first century Jews, but even then:


Jesus uses the name God gave himself. period. And for future reference, unlike yourself, I have actually read the New Testament in Greek, and it seems pretty conclusive there, as well as in the English. Now, you may not think that "I AM" is God's name (even though he said it was in the Old Testament). That's fine, and you are entitled to it. But, it doesn't lessen the fact that Jesus made sure to call himself by that very name, which really angered the Jews who saw it as blasphemy.


This debate is an awful lot like if God showed up and called himself Allah to you, and you told me about it, and I said, "okay, but when did he call himself God?"


Different language, different terminology, etc.

Bismillah


I agree,this discussion is endless discussion.


And actually it does`nt matter if Jesus said in the Bible that "He is a God"or the God called himself "Allah"in the Quran,this is not our reasons to accept our faiths.


We should logically accepted our faith before following and defending this faith.


So it may be useful if we discuss"Why do Christains believe in the trinity,that God is three in one,if they can`t logically understand?,or if it is undersandable we need to undersand how?


I strongly believe that we should understand the other faiths,I need to know answer to my question"In trinity,what is the meaning of the God?Is this meaning admitted the existence of more than one God?.And if so,who created whom?
