Glory to God, peace on earth, goodwill to all.
Assalamu alaikum, Wael! I hope you're doing well, mate :)
Quote: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
"Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know..."
(Catholic translation)
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.
When you say "God" I take it you're referring to the Most Holy Trinity (Father Son Holy Spirit). If so, then I agree with you. Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God Incarnate. He possesses two natures, remember??? When Jesus performed "mighty works & wonders & signs" He did so in His Humanity (as the promised Messiah), through Divine Power (which His Divine Nature shares in). The miracles not only reveal that Jesus is sent by God, but that He is the eternal Son of the Father. If you read on in that chapter it'll become clearer :)
Quote:Was this attitude adopted from the Biblical Jesus? because in this case I will have no problem if you ignore me.
Haha! Nah, it's the attitude of a Uni student who is up to her neck in assessments & ought to make use her precious time wisely ;)
Quote:Thanks for this attitude as well.
No worries, bro! You've earned it :P As we're about to see...
Quote: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?
This is exactly why I tease you about acting childish, Wael. Like a kid, you need to be told everything more than once. You asked about these exact verses months ago (word for word mind you... it's obvious you're just cutting & pasting from somewhere). My answer is still the same as it was before.

Quote: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.
Fine! It's settled.
I believe Jesus is God... & that's it!
End of story!!!
I gotta get back to my uni work now :(
May Allah bless you always.
