Re: I have heard some Christians try to prove that Jesus is God by using the Holy Qur
Peace truthseeker63,
Allah gave many prophets miracles relevant to their time.
At the time of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) people excelled in magic. Allah gave him a miracle (the throwing of his staff and it's turning into a huge serpent) that anyone who saw, including expert magicians, at once knew that this was no magic but something given to Moses by Allah.
At the time of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), people excelled in medicine. Allah gave him miracles including healing those born blind and lepers, and giving life to the dead, and again, people recognised that this was nothing ordinary, and Jesus himself said that he of his own self could do nothing.
"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5: 30)
And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah . And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. (Qur'an 3:49 Sahih International)
It is clear fom the Bible and the Qur'an that Jesus (peace be upon him) could not do anything by himself, only with the permission of Allah who sent him.
It is inconceivable that God of his own self can't do anything.
Here's some food for thought:
If Christians try to prove that Jesus (peace be upon him) is God by virtue of his giving life to the dead, they should know that he restored life, with Allah's permission, to a human who had once been alive.
Moses (peace be upon him) threw his wooden stick, and it became a living serpent. In other words, something from the vegetable kingdom turned into a living, moving being from the animal kingdom. That is a far greater miracle than restoring life to a human who had once lived. Using this "logic", I wonder why they don't claim that prophet Moses (peace be upon him) is God...
