Is Jesus God

Free eBook AntiChrist Islam's Awaited Messiahhttp://ToddSumrall.comIs Jesus God?He thought he was. Jesus does not see himself as one in a line of prophets, preceded by John the Baptist and followed by Muhammad. As far as Jesus is concerned, the line of prophets had ended — John was the last. He, Jesus, is in a different class ... he is the obedient son of the vineyard owner. mark 12:1-11.. Jesus categorically drew a line between himself and the previous prophets.I believe he is. If you think Jesus is a prophet, then you must believe what he says about himself. Jesus is more than a prophet.Muslims say Jesus is a prophet. ONLY a prophet. Yet the only reason they know there was a Jesus, is because of the New Testament and early church. The SON is the difference, and is why Islam does not come from the same tree.My challenge to Muslims is this: You cannot accept Jesus as a prophet, UNLESS you accept what he said about himself, which will reveal he certainly thought he was more than a prophet.Now if you argue that the Bible is corrupt, then you have to throw out the prophet angle as well. How do you know that part about a prophet is not corrupt as well?What did Jesus say about himself?HE SAID HE WAS GODHe used a term that so angered the Jews he was speaking to, that they were ready to stone him.The Jews therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple. (John 8:57-59)What did he say? he said he was "I AM" The very same words God used to describe himself to Moses,Exo 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you.The Jews knew exactly what he was saying here. They wanted to Kill him.Again:"I and the Father are one." The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." (John 10:30-33)AS THE SON OF GODAnd Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me does not believe in Me, but in Him who sent Me. And he who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me. I have come as light into the world, that everyone who believes in Me may not remain in darkness." (John 12:44-46)THE WAY TO GODJesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:6-9)Jesus therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world." They said therefore to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread." Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." (John 6:32-35)HIS MISSION ON EARTH SAVIOUR"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:16-18)And many other things were written about him. If you are going to accept him as a prophet, you have to accept what he said about himself.**********************Most Muslims know very little about the historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth. The Qur’an contains little about him, indeed most of what is recorded are merely extended birth narratives. Whilst it is said that he taught great crowds, little information is given as to the content of that teaching. The Qur’an records no sermons, no parables, none of his gentle words to the poor and dispossessed, none of his cutting challenges to the religious establishment of the day; it is all missing. For that, one needs to turn to the New Testament and to the gospels.When one raises the question of Jesus, Muslims are often quick to ask “we honour Jesus Christ, why do you not honour Muhammad?” But I would challenge my Muslim friends and readers with this — if I were to say ‘oh, I honour Muhammad, he was a great racing car driver!’ you would look at me as if I were mad; you see, the key concern is not whether one claims to honour somebody or not, but firstly whether one actually knows what they stood for. Until Muslims know what Jesus said, did, and claimed to be, then for them to claim that they honour Jesus is at best misleading.A Muslim may say, the Christian does not know much about the Qur'an. If they read the Qur'an, they would honour Muhammad. However, it is because of the things Jesus taught, that the Christian does not look to the Qur'an for answers. At the same time Muslims lay a claim to Christ, not knowing who or what Christ really is, or what he said and taught.Read about Jesus from the New Testament. See what says he, whom you honour as a prophet.
