Please refer me to the post in which YOU or anyone else answered THIS question- not any other question but the question: Why did Jesus used to worship God if he himself was God?
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=2087889&postcount=140 I think that about settles it...and proves my point.
How does praying to yourself set a good example and show others how to live? What was he teaching? pray to yourselves? It just shows that Jesus prayed to God as God and Jesus were 2 different 'people'
If you didn't notice but Dead Corn posted before your 'explanation' so technically he was wrong as no one had answered the question
This is why people quit responding to you, and this will be my last post in this thread as well.... God and Jesus were not two different people. God came to earth in the human form of Jesus to show humans how to live a right life. Jesus set the example for us, by doing the things that God would want us to do. It is a proven fact that humans learn by watching. Humans watched Jesus, humans learned from Jesus, as he taught us by showing us the example. There is no way to get through your thick skull kid. I can't help you anymore, other than pray. I answered your question, and you continually ignore the answer. Good luck.
WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH THE TOUGH GETS GOING When have i ignored your answer? Thanks for the offer but I don't want you to pray for me! As you will probably pray to Jesus who is NOT god but a messenger of God so will be unable to answer your prayers as only God can do that. Christianity makes no sense, you just have blind faith in it and when somebody raises a question, and then asks another question you claim you answered both questions using the first reply!! Stop having blind faith and take a look at your religion then you will see the parts which make no sense, as this religion has been changed by men. This will also be my last post in the ftopic as I can't seem to get a decent response to my questions? Why? because, you lot don't have the answers!!!
Jesus isn't God. He's the mediator between us sinners and the Almighty. We're so immersed in sin that God doesn't want to listen to us. We can only talk to God thru Jesus. This is where the confusion arises. When we pray to Jesus we pray to God. Thus, Jesus=God. Everything is relative and from our POV Jesus is the only one we can address because he's sitting at the right hand of the Father which means that he has the executive power over every God's creation.
But according to the Bible : "There is one God , and one mediator between God and men , the man Christ Jesus ; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time" (I Tim. 2:5-6). Doesn't it mean that Jesus is the mediator between GOD and men and he is the MAN not a GOD in form of MAN (According to Bible) ?
The jews didn't killed Jesus, the Romes did it. but, the Jews didn't stand for Jesus, one of their own kind. you know what it remind me? the arabs when Gamal Abdel Nasser killed 12 times more people (Jews and christians, especially Jews) than Israel killed during Oferet Yaztuka (Last Gaza operation)
I didnt say Jews killed Jesus. But some of Jews wanted to arrest or to kill him. But No one killed him, the one who was killed was not Jesus. As Jesus said, they will (Jews) search him(Jesus) but they will never find him or arrest him...
Bottom Line: This is nothing more than yet another attempt by Islam, to give credence to itself, while attempting to elevate itself from cult status, by using THE NAME of JESUS CHRIST. Interestingly enough, "the Qur'an" frequently refers to "The Bible", but "The Bible" never ever reference "the Qur'an". . .NOR the so-called prophet "Mo-ham-mad". Again, in all fairness, JESUS CHRIST is NOT the founder of "Christianity" (nor did HE ordain and/or endorse it. . .in fact HE never used the words, "Christian(s)", etc.), let alone a participant of "Islam" in any shape or fashion. JESUS CHRIST IS Exactly WHO and ALL that Scripture [The Tanakh/"The Bible"] portrays HIM to Be; Anything found about HIM in "the Qur'an", taken as a whole, is nothing more that a LIE.
I believe that it isn't yet another attempt to give credit to itself. Think of revelation in history. The Qu'ran states that Jesus is a prophet. A participant isn't a believer. A participants can mean many things. Nope, the Qu'ran is not lying.
You might need a new job. Muslims are not allowed to congratulate non Muslims on their holidays Peace,
He's also a Mormon's Prophet, and a Satanist's Prophet, and probably a few others I can't think of. Your point?
Umm... common sense? The Koran came after the Bible. Just like the Torah failed to mention Jesus Christ coming. Peace,
Actually, Genesis 3:15 is a prediction of Christ. Also Deuteronomy 18:15 (when you consider the cross references from Matthew 17:5 and Acts 3:22, 23) Those are included in Torah.
The following was taken from the English Translation of The Torah, Bereshit/Genesis 22:7-8 When Isaac asked Abraham, "My father. . .Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?" Abraham Isaac answered Isaac by stating (notice how its worded) "G-d will provide Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son.". Did you know that Abraham is both a Biological and Legal Ancestor of JESUS CHRIST (Meaning that JESUS CHRIST is a Son of Abraham)? Could not "G-d will provide Himself the lamb", be another way of saying, GOD, HIMSELF, in THE PERSON of HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, will become "THE LAMB of GOD that takes away the sins of the world"? As SolutionX has already shown you, there are plenty of mentioning of JESUS CHRIST and HIS Coming in The Torah. . .you just got to trust THE HOLY SPIRIT [POWER] of GOD to show them to you... . . .but if you're not IN CHRIST, you don't have access to THE HOLY SPIRIT [POWER] of GOD.
