Publisher;11861607]In the strictest sense, Jesus did indeed practice “Islam”…he was in submission to God.
Jesus was born of a Jewish Mother, and practiced the Jewish faith from His birth to His death and resurrection. Islam never existed yet, nor was it ever heard of for the next 700 years after the resurrection.
No one is claing Jesus was a member of the organized religious movement if the Arabic religion of Islam.
I don’t follow your own contradiction in trying to use language semantics to prove Jesus was an Islamic practicing Muslim; sorry?:
Tempting as it is,
I am not going to get into the semantics of the languages here, that is why I asked to keep it simple as the subject relates to Islam. Your approach introduces confusion and out of context of the OP.
So yes Jesus did indeed live not only according to the Law of God, which is a portion of the word “muslim”" but submission and obedience to the Will of God.
The billboard reads; “Jesus was a Muslim”. It does not read Jesus was a Muslim who practiced Islam. Your intent appears to be damaging or changing the subject of Muslim one who surrenders to the laws of God, to the tenants of Islam which is another subject which I have not introduced nor the OP. Submission to the laws of the God is a world of difference of one in obedience to the will of God.
You place Islam in blasphemy by claiming Islam knows the will of God by assuming that Islam is obedient to the will of God. In retrospect, I don’t even want to ask you where did you get the followers of Islam are obedient to the will of God as If Islam a Johnny come lately religion knows the will of God?
Did those great men of faith in the Bible live in submission to the will of God?
Those great men had faith who obeyed the laws of God that were divinely given, that did not make them Muslim, that made them Jews. Their humanity and all of nature naturally obeyed the creation laws of God, which in Aramaic is called Muslim. Don’t confuse the decalogue which is Jewish with the natural laws of God of obedience and submission that all of creation follows.
This is no longer a predominantly controlled by Christian ideas a and beliefs. Jesus is not the property of Christianity.
True Jesus is not the property of Christianity, but Christianity is the property of Jesus who is our head. Your “predominantly controlled” language has political motivated tendencies and does not serve my purpose here nor does it interests my religious belief’s here.
We live in a multi-cultural society and are in the “growing stages” of other faith traditions being allowed to advertise and state their beliefs on bill boards as those Christian billboards do throughout the Midwest and South attest to
.
Let me help you by giving you a reality check. The Catholic Church has existed these 2000 years since Pentecost, she has lived in every place in the past and known world. She has more diversed languages, cultures, peoples, nations and tribes all united as one faith. The Catholic Church is much older than the Unite States and all of America and much older than most countries today, she knows "multi-cultural societies, the Catholic Church has seen them come and go. That is far as I will go in response with your present day political tendencies of religion.
Perhaps Jesus wasn’t Muslim according to your Christian beliefs…but it wasn’t Christians stating a belief about Jesus, it was Muslims doing so, and.while in the strictest sense of the word Jesus was muslim…in Islams view he was also Muslim, as Islam according to their beliefs was practiced by Abraham…not a Jewish belief, nor a Christian one, but definitely a Muslim one.
The first Century Jews, pagans and Christians all knew Jesus to be a Jew. Where do you get the Idea that Jesus was a practicing Muslim of Islam? When Islam never existed in the first century.
Your language semantics does not justify your false claims here. I don’t buy it, and I think any reasonable mind would reject your language semantics to prove Jesus was a practicing Islamic Muslim that held to the tenants of Islam.
You have introduced the Will of God as a tenant of Islam in obedience. That is a far cry of surrendering and obeying the laws of God = Muslim and pretending that Islam knows the will of God as if to be obedient to the will of God, when Islam claims to be a slave which is a far cry from the Son being the only begotten of the Father. A Son is never a Slave, a Slave is Islam. Jesus is The Son of God revealed in the Son of man.
Jesus on the other hand can never be by of your Islamic language semantics either. For one Jesus incarnate does the will of His Father because Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. Jesus is never a slave to His Father. When Islam claims to be a slave of God, Islam is never a Son of God, thereby Islam can never know the will of God.
Because scripture teaches a slave does not know his master, but lives in obedience to his master for his wage, that is Islam’s obedience to God’s will.
A Son knows His Father and it pleases the Son to do His Father’s will, the relationship between the Father and the Son is Love and the obedience of the will of the Father to the Son is done out of Love, never a slave like Islam is to It’s master.
You got Jesus being a slave “Islam” in obedience to the will of the master. Jesus will is the Father’s will, for the Son loves the Father and the Father loves the Son.
Peace be with you
