Islam teaches that God is separate from His creation (including man). That is why Islam denies the idea of Jesus being God. Perhaps you don't accept Islamic sources as a yardstick to resolve the question you raised, so let's go by what the Bible says. Jesus cannot be the "proper recipient of...

You're just assuming that. If that were true, he would have been mentioned by name in the OT. Or that would have been mentioned in the NT. But that is not so. So Christians just arbitrarily assume that an angelic figure in an OT incident (like the fiery furnace) was actually Jesus. They're...

That's good to hear. But the trinity happens to be the "mainstream" view in Christianity. The Catholics, the Protestants, The Eastern Orthodox and most other denominations accept the trinity. CARM's official position is that God is triune. See this link...

Thanks for the wiki copy paste! I thought Jesus was central to Christianity. Anyway, Christianity deems the "Holy Spirit" as the third person of the triune God. Islam rejects the trinity as well as the idea of the Holy Spirit being God. So Islam couldn't have "borrowed" the concept from...

Only God is everlasting from eternity. Jesus has a beginning. That's why he's completely absent in the OT but shows up much later in the New Testament. Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens...

Wrong. In Islam, the Spirit and angels are two different types of beings. The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct. (78:38) The idea that there are good and bad angels is a...

According to the Bible, God has more than 1 son. David, Solomon, Adam, all Israelites. Common sense would dictate that the same person cant have 1 son and multiple sons simultaneously. The question is if you believe Jesus was God's LITERAL son, as in, God's offspring. That is a separate...

I am writing a booklet that addresses common Christian arguments against Islam and I'm looking for topics to cover. What are some THEOLOGICAL issues in Islam you feel need to be addressed? Feel free to mention them here and I will research the topic and answer them, God willing. Oh and I...

Paul was wrong. He had his own ideas about things. Paul taught that it's impossible for a person to be righteous by keeping the Law and therefore all people are unrighteous by default. But Paul contradicts the Gospel. Luke's book in the New Testament says there were ordinary people who were...

You're changing the subject. If Jesus is God, and if Jesus also is of David's lineage, then it follows David is "God's" ancestor. There's no two ways about it. Even worse, it makes Mary the "mother of God". You can't address this, so you're throwing out distractions. (quoted in blue)...

The Messiah had to be from David's lineage. No disagreements there. But that simply means the messiah is not God, but a human being like David. Because the Eternal God does not come from a "lineage". If Jesus is God, and if Jesus also is of David's lineage, then it follows David is "God's"...

The point is that if David aka "son of God" received prostrations and is correctly understood as being nothing more than a man, the same thing has to apply to Jesus.

Abraham was never accused of sinning by God. So you're just making a serious false allegation against Abraham, the friend of God.

Read the previous verses to get the context. The verse you cited is talking about the specific people (rulers and elites) who called on people to hold on to their false gods. They drowned (along with everyone else) and were then put into the fire. Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed...

If Jesus of Nazareth was God, then you would have seen God. What does "God in His glory" even mean? Can God ever be out of His glory? Or are you saying Jesus was "God" but without his glory"? Please explain. I was talking about 1John 4:12, where after spending 3+ years with Jesus as a...

All angels are created beings. Same applies to the angel of the Lord. In fact, all angels are "angels of the Lord". It's a generic term.

Abraham did not sin with Hagar. So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. (Genesis 16:3) So Ishmael and Isaac were both sons of Abraham through different wives. Later, we see God say this...

Ha! Christians have no problem saying Jesus appeared as an angel but then they'll turn around and accuse the Jehovah's Witnesses of heresy for teaching that Jesus was once an angel! It's all so inconsistent that it's laughable.

Isaac was also born of a "carnal relationship", i.e., sexual activity between Abraham and Sarah.

He wasn't saying to worship the son.
