True, only God… and so all these miracles that you are talking about (whether performed by Jesus or other men of God) were not their own works as it was very well explained in Acts 2:22
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, <b>which God did by him </b> in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know"
Quote:I guess the difference is that I believe Jesus performed miracles by His own accord (He's a Divine Person), whereas you don't.
I respect your beliefs, but I don’t see it related whatsoever to the biblical teaching, as you can see acts 2:22 clearly states that Jesus did nothing of these miracles; it was God’s miracles performed through Jesus pbuh.
Quote:Wael, as much as I love you, I'm one step away from adding you to my "Ignore List".
Was this attitude adopted from the Biblical Jesus? because in this case I will have no problem if you ignore me.

Thanks for this attitude as well.
Quote:Did Jesus imply that He existed before Creation? Yes! But you kindly asked me not to mention that particular verse so I'm guessing you already know the answer but don't want to face up to it.
Please be patient with me FHC, and I would like from all members on these forums to please try to explain to me the followings:
Does the phrase “<i>Before Abraham was I am</i>” mean “<i>I am (Jesus) existed before the Creation</i>”?
To other members who are not so familiar with the Bible, please try to read about Solomon in (Proverbs 8:22-31) and Melchizedec (Hebrews 7:3), who were supposedly present not only before Abraham, but also before all of creation? What about the many others who were either anointed, consecrated or made holy, before their births? What makes them so different?
Quote:You keep repeating yourself. It's obviously not for my benefit or for yours. Why do you do it? You & I have discussed all the above previously.
Aren’t you repeating yourself by saying that Jesus is God without any certain proofs? You can say that I believe he is God and that’s it, but don’t convince me that this concept has anything to do with the Bible.
Salam
Wael.
