You people need to realise that the bible was written by human hands, the same as quran.

You concider everything written in the bible a real fact, while it could really be anything.

Yes Jesus existed, but when it comes to him being the son of god, it’s only a matter of what you choose to believe.

Muslims choose to believe the quran, christians choose to believe the bible, there is no universal truth, simple as that.
 
I would like to know why the jews and romans crucified jesus if he never stated he was the son of god?

You choose to believe that Mohammed is a prophet with no proof!

Oh, yes, there is a universal truth, but it’s only revealed to those who are humble and receptive to it!

Salaam Joseph,

Would not God’s will (or His spirit as defined as His animating force) “overshadow” any mortal He was acting through? The Quran may not use the Arabic equivalent of overshadowed, but if God’s will was done through Mary than Jesus was the Son of God through His will if not genetics.

As God is not limited by time our liner time and subsequent concepts and language about time are irrelevant to God. You pose a good question about when in time Jesus became the Son of God though. Mary did not give birth to Jesus in eternity so I would say that Jesus became the Son of Man upon His conception, but that He is God’s son through eternity. I will admit that while I do not struggle with the concept myself I am not 100% convinced the term son is the best one, though I certainly can not come up with anything better.

Peace Faith101,

We can all say we are the sons and daughters of God so Adam can be called God’s son just as much as anyone. I think Son of God is more of a concept and title than a description though. I am not convinced the term is the best, but as it is the concept that is what is important I don’t worry too much about it. It is a concept of faith, not language to me.

Why couldnt the same be said for Adam?

When did Adam talk about his father in heaven? Yet Jesus did it all the time. Adam was a sinner and Jesus was not! So the two are definitely very different!

After reading the gospels, does it look like the authors thought Jesus was God? I’d say no. The Chruch may say he is God, but from the text of those gospels, it sure doesn’t look like the authors thought so.

Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed man of the dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD WAS God.

John 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.

John 1:3 All things came into being THROUGH Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

Im sure you have read our bible and you are familiar with the words of Christ Himself. Yes, we do believe that Christ said these words (usually printed in red) and for us it is not a matter of whom one believes. If Christ, who is God, Incarnate, came to earth to redeem mankind there is not reason to believe that anyone coming after Him claiming, as Muhammend did, has any credibility whatsoever. Islam is a hoax. If not then we Christians have been wasting a lot of time in following a false religion and we are condemned to hell.

Hebrews 10:4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 10:5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, Sacrifice and offering Thou hast not desired, but a Body thou has prepared for Me. 10:7 Then I said, Behold I have come. In the roll of the book it is written of Me to do Thy will, O God.

Hebrews 10:8 After saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast not desired, nor has thou taken pleasure in them, which are offered according to the Law, 10:10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the BODY OF JESUS CHRIST once for all.

Hebrews 10:26,27 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain TERRIFYING EXPECTATION OF JUDGMENT AND THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

Hebrews 10:28,29 Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Hebrews 10:30,31 For we know Him who said, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay. And again, The Lord will judge His people. IT IS A TERRIFYING THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.

the disciples were writing a flashback …you seePeter denying Jesus out of fear, the disciples running away out of fear…the disciples did not even believe the women when they said Jesus was resurrecred coz they thought he will be spiritually resurrected as per judaism…when these people saw the resurrected Jesus, their lives changed, they had fear no more and all of them sied as martyrs for their faith in our Lord Jesus…so you find in the Bible passages talking about the disciples doubting, having fear, and passages full of faith inour Lord Jesus…

That’s funny… you are stating that as if it were a truth! hmmm!

So wouldn’t that be the universal truth, “that there is no Universal truth” Then of course that just could not be… very perplexing!

Peace!

The first two words of the Lord’s Prayer are, “Our Father.” Does that mean we are the sons of God?

That doesn’t say Jesus was God. If the author thought Jesus was God he would have told us.

The Christians cannot demonstrate that Jesus was God, and the Muslims cannot demonstrate Mohamed was a prophet. Both rely on faith.

But we don’t find Gospel passages saying Jesus was God. That’s odd if they were written years after Jesus’ death, and it makes one wonder if the early Christians believed Jesus was God.

we find plenty unless you want to hear Jesus saying : hey people! am God! worship me!

to understand who Jesus is, you must understand what he did and said.
