How does God allow this worship of anyone other than Himself?
After all we all know God is One
God is One, that is made clear time and time again through out scripture.
One means one....i think.Different faiths have interpreted the “One” to mean different things
Yes. Jesus was a man and the Holy Spirit was and Angel (Gabriel). And yet they are worshipped.One thing that should be clear to anyone is that God forbids worshipping Idols or men or Angels.
Good. Since you believe a prohet was coming, and Mohammed claims to be a prophet, have you tested him? If so what do you think your conclusions of him are?We are taught to test the spirits. Some interpret that to mean to test a prophet and some interpret it to mean to test any spirit that may present a message or vision.
Jews follow the old Testament. Why don't they worship him?Some have said how can God be 3 and yet be 1?
Some have denied Jesus as God even though we see Old Testament scripture showing that he will be worshipped.
Exactly. Show me in the bible where it says "trinity". But I disagree with you when you say that we where not given enough knowledge in this lifetime. Why would God leave us alone without enough knowledge about him? I don't believe our Lord works in mysterious ways.I am not necessarily saying the trinity does exists or doesn’t exist, we aren’t given enough knowledge in this life time to know
You tell me. Shouldn't you know what the Bible describes? You follow it don't you? What God looks like is beyond our comprehension.The Bible say’s God has a 7 fold spirit. What is the complete meaning of that description?
By the way. We don't reject niether the old or new testament. They where both books from God before people corrupted them.If you reject New Testament scripture then let’s go to more Old Testament:
Good, i just took a shower.:happy:Now is these creatures are four in number. I will ignore that for the time being because it would only serve to muddy the waters.
Quran is part of the scripture and this is a summary of what it says about God/Allah.What I want to focus on is this:
Each creature has four faces. Let’s just say for the sake of having an example of things existing outside our earthly examples that we pretend that there is but one of these creatures and it is god. (I know it’s not, but humor me).Now we can say God is ONE. We can also say God is Four.
Is one Face of God any less God than any other Face?
Is One face dominant over the three other faces? (Scripture say’s that when it moves. It moves straight ahead. It doesn’t say that three faces turn this way or that way to see which is the correct direction).Let’s assume that the Four Faced creature has a spirit/soul, that like all other souls is un-seen, and that being is God so the spirit has to be Holy. Does that now make it 5 in 1?Answer these questions with scripture and then you can speak with authority on the subject.
Why hasn't any of the Christians tested the dozens of people who came after Jesus and claimed to be prophets with these questions?If a spirit ever comes to you in the middle of a fast with visions concerning if God is One or God is Three or if God is Seven Fold, test him with those questions.
Muslims only claim what thier Lord claims.Isn't He a sufficient enough authority? In other words we believe Jesus was a prophet because Allah tells us to.If you or the spirit can’t answer those questions then neither has any place speaking with authority and saying Jesus wasn’t/isn’t God.
Your questions are relevant and I understand what you are trying to show.I hope this post isn’t against the rules, but I can’t think of a better way of showing what I am trying to show.
Ameen.May God continue to en-lighten us all, amen.
nimrod, You judging from your point of view, but I am repeating again that Allah swt has commanded us to follow only one book sent by him (the Qur'an), and why not the other scriptures, because as they are altered by people through ages and that's why they are not perfect any more, they are not the complete word of God as they used to be when they were revealed, and that's why Qur'an was sent to correct the previous scriptures by (Moses,Jesus ...pbut)
do you have evidence from Qur'an that we are allowed to follow other scriptures except the Qur'an? I would suggest to see a Qur'an how it looks like and read it![]()
Okay, Abdul Majid, your evidence has shown that Jesus claimed He was not God. However, Nicola here (who was quoting those verses from the Bible, thus the reason she used the the quote tags), has shown evidence that Jesus implied that He was God.
It is my belief that He was just really humble, and was just saying that He wasn't God, when He really was.
Yes your right, Jesus did humble himself, when we understand the Bible it becomes very clear, this was his message, put everyone before yourself.. he chose to make himself lowly, born in a stable, he chose to be poor, he chose to clean his disciples feet, he choose to die for us.....this is what we as Christians should do also
God first and secondly everyone else before ourselves. Just like Jesus did..
Sura 18:27
He revealed upon you this book with a just purpose, confirming the [predictions of the] scriptures before it, and He revealed the Torah and the Injil. (3:3)
[42:15] This is what you shall preach, and steadfastly maintain what you are commanded to do, and do not follow their wishes. And proclaim: "I believe in all the scriptures sent down by GOD. I was commanded to judge among you equitably. GOD is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds and you have your deeds. There is no argument between us and you. GOD will gather us all together; to Him is the ultimate destiny."
29:46] Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) except in the nicest possible manner - unless they transgress - and say, "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our god and your god is one and the same; to Him we are submitters."
[10:94] If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from your Lord, then ask those who read the previous scripture. Indeed, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Do not be with the doubters
What are you saying, that God should be humble? To what end? It ill befits the majesty of God.
Wonderful Counselor, [B]Mighty God[/B],
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.
Explanation for this part of the vision:
Daniel 7:26-28
26 " 'But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.'
28 "This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself."
How does God allow this worship of anyone other than Himself?
After all we all know God is One:
Isaiah 45:5-6
5 I am the LORD, and there is no other;
apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you,
though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
to the place of its setting
men may know there is none besides me.
I am the LORD, and there is no other.
http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/27_worship.html said:In our modern western culture worship is an action directed toward God and God alone. But this is not the case in the Hebrew Bible. The word shehhah is a common Hebrew word meaning to prostrate oneself before another in respect. We see Moses doing this to his father in law in Exodus 18:7. When the translators translate the word shehhah they will use the word "worship" when the bowing down is directed toward God but as "obeisance" or other equivalent word when directed toward another man. There is no Hebrew word meaning worship in the sense that we are used to using it in our culture today. From an Hebraic perspective worship, or shehhah is the act of getting down on ones knees and placing the face down on the ground before another worthy of respect.
So what are you saying Nicola? We know for a fact that the Bible has been altered. Are you implying God is wrong?
Sura 6:115
None can change the words of God;
Sura 6:34
There is no changing the words of God;
that is the mighty triumph.
Look at what the Bible said:
"How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes even clearer:
"How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
10:94] If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from your Lord, then ask those who read the previous scripture. Indeed, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Do not be with the doubters
Sura 6:115
None can change the words of God;
-- Sura 6:34
There is no changing the words of God;
that is the mighty triumph.
All these documents teach the same doctrines as our Gospels and NT.Greek manuscripts of the NT for comparison with our present NT..
1. Codex Vaticanus (AD 325-350) perserved in the Vatican Library and containing nearly the whole bible
2. Codes Sinatiticus (AD350), now in the British Museum. It contains nearly all the NT and over half the OT
3. Codex Alexandrinus (AD400)also in the British Museum, containing almost the whole Bible
4. Codex Ephraemi (5th Century) located in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. Containing the whole of the NT apart from 2Thessalonians and 2John.
5. Codes Bezae (ca 450) in the Cambridge University Library. It contains the Gospels and Acts in both Greek and Latin.
6. Codex Washingtonensis (ca450) contains the four Gospels.
7. Codex Claromontanus (6th century), contains Paul's letters in Greek and Latin.
8. The Chester Beatty Papyri (AD200) in Dublin University, and owned in part by the University of Michigan. Three of these papyrus codices contain large portions of the NT
9. Bodmer Papyrus 11 (ca. 150-200), the most important discovery of NT manuscripts since the purchase of the Chester Beatty Papyri.
Jeremiah was written before Mohammed yet...Mohammed had no problems believing it.
So is this a contridiction?
Why do you think this is a contradicition? It is commonly known that Mohammed and Muslims believe in all the scriptures before the Quran( ie; Injeel, Torah, and Zubur or Psalms).
