Quote:Hello joshua.i am always in touch with priests, pastors ,Christians Bible scholars etc etc .. plus my wife's family are Christians. So what they explained to me about Jesus \"pbuh\" was different than what you believe or what you have been told.salam alaikum,
they dont consider Jesus to be the son of God only, but they also beleive that Jesus was God Almighty in HUMAN FORM, was God himself incarnate. therefore they have to worship him. and that's why you always hear the term \"LORD JESUS\".
I see what you are saying - and I guess I didnt word things right. What I meant was that I, as a christian, believed that Jesus was the son of God - but is also God in human form came to earth.
As far as my take on the trinity, I believe the trinity represents one God - not three; but one God is three forms. 1)God in only god's form 2)God in human form (Jesus) 3)God in spirit form (the holy spirit).
I think of it kind of like water. Water can be in three states - solid, liquid, and gas.
Although the three states of water are "different" - they are still the same water, just in different form. Steam is chemicaly exactly the same as ice - the structure is different, but the molecules are the same.
I know its a poor anology - but if you relate God to water, then:
Liquid = God in Heaven
Solid = Jesus
Gas = Holy spirit.
The different states of water are still only one water - the same portion of water can change throughout states without changing what it is.
This is, I believe, how what the trinity is about God. Same god, just different forms. Just like there is only one "water" there is only one God.
lol thats a little goofy for an anology, but its the best way I could put it.
