Anywhere American law and Islamic law conflict, it’s American law that inevitably has to give way.
These demands for special accommodation are everywhere. Hertz, Heinz, Costco, IKEA, Target, Wal-mart, Disneyland, McDonalds and hundreds of others have all been in the cross-hairs. Islamic demands and the ensuing lawsuits in order to impose sharia (Islamic law).
This is exactly the pattern that I meticulously document in my must-read primer, Stop the Islamization of America.

If you don’t agree that there “are too many crosses on Catholic campus,” then you are a “hater,” an “inciter,” an “islamophobe,” a “provocateur.”
“DC Area Professor To Catholic University: Too Many Crosses On Campus For Muslim Students To Pray,” DC Gazete, May
It just got surreal. George Washington University Law School Professor John Banzhaf filed a human rights complaint to the D.C. Office of Human Rights against Catholic University for hindering Muslim students’ free exercise of their faith due to the “excessive” amount of “Catholic imagery” on the campus. It seems that this man – who teaches at a different school across town – thinks that Catholic University’s adherence to the cultural aspects of Catholicism (we have a lot of artwork, Crucifixes, and statues in every nook and crany) keeps muslim students from praying the required five times a day.
Banzhaf, who already has a pending lawsuit against the university over ending its policy of allowing mixed-gender dormitories and has a history of filing civil rights suits on such topics as childhood obesity and smoking, filed the complaint alleging that Muslim students are not given their own prayer rooms.
Just as an aside from a graduate of Catholic high school, at least, did Prof. Banzhaf not see the title of the university? Did he not see the GIGANTIC church on the university property we know as the National Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception???? Oh, that’s right, it’s named in the complaint as a place muslims are “forced” to pray. (We don’t do that in Catholicism.) That basilica is, like, the flagship American Catholic church since it’s named for our national feast day even if it is NOT a cathedral, contrary to the complaint filed. (No cathedra or bishop’s chair is in the building. In Washington, that is in St. Matthew’s.) What part of “Catholic” isn’t sinking in? We’re into high art, Jesus hanging on the Cross, defending the separation of the sexes in dorms, etc. It’s part and parcel of the deal when you attend Catholic school.
Across the board, the 60-page complaint filed by Banzhaf has officials at Catholic University and just about every other corner scratching heads. First off, no muslim students have voiced concern for the issues of which Banzhaf writes. Second, when members of other faiths are accepted at Catholic schools, their beliefs are not scorned or maligned in any way. That violates Catholic norms of hospitality. No one is required to pray with us. That’s a private act, anyway, that Catholics are really supposed to do it more than five times a day. Non-Catholics may not be specifically accommodated at our schools, but we Catholics would not request special treatment from schools of other faiths. More or less, in this situation we are all guests in someone else’s house, and manners prevail. Usually. Anyone who has a problem with pictures of popes hanging on the wall, Crucifixes, statues of Our Lady of Grace, etc., can just go find somewhere else to go to school.
That the D.C. Office of Human Rights is even entertaining the complaint is cause for the big worry.

Does anyone know when O’Reilly is going to show the results of his poll which asks the question, “Do you support the group American Freedom Defense Initiative mocking the Islamic religion?” Maybe I am overly sensitive – but I am just about tired of the complaints about too many crosses and killing for implementation of Sharia. It’s been a week since he launched that poll.

At the bottom of every O’Reilly poll it states………
“These polls are not scientific. Only one vote per visitor per poll is counted by the system.”
1) none of his polls are scientific……yet he touts them
2) Only one poll per visitor is counted……nothing is wrong with this poll compared to “Reilly’s other polls.
This is press controlling the narrative. Notice that no other media has conducted a poll???? The media – including Fox – is trying to control this narrative.

Hi ridgerunner,
On April 27, 2014 the United Arab Emirates was declared number one in the world for treating women with respect, according to a major scientific study
comparing development and well-being among all 132 nations of the world. UAE has successfully implemented Islamic Law.
A lot of non muslims working in UAE in Oil and Gas Industries and muslim and non muslim respect each other.
Beer, nightclub and porks are available everywhere for non muslim. At night time a lot of people went to parks for jogging in peace.

This highlights the firm ideological comradeship between Islamists and the hard left. They are kindred spirits, going back to the days Hitler voiced full support for Islamists before WW2. Nationalist Socialism saw common ground with Islam even then.
Note that two major points of history have been buried in lies and mythology:
1) The Nazis were in fact Socialists
2) most of humanity’s major atrocities were due to Islamist imperialism, including the Ottoman Empire and, yes, the Crusades, which were Europe fighting back against said imperialism.

Joy, joy — maybe this is where I can voice that nagging question about Laura Ingraham. If she is Catholic, why doesn’t she wardrobe with the proper cross? Is it that the Muslims are using her — but can’t wiggle on down enough to the ‘idolatrous’ use of Jesus on that cross?
What’s up with that?
Believe me, I know of what I speak. Having all the flavors of Christian crosses within my family for judicious human consumption: Protestants (no Jesus), Catholics (yes, please), Mormons (no crosses! it is a symbol of Roman torture), …

You are wrong on this. Catholics may choose to wear either the cross with the corpus or a plain cross.

Don’t get me wrong (I much heart my rosaries and crucifixes that have been gifted to me, being married only into the Roman Catholic Church, as opposed to being born into or willingly affiliated with it) — I credit these ‘love offerings’ for saving me from at least 3 vehicular deaths.

Hi albeit,
90 Verses in the Bible say Jesus is not God
All four Gospels record Jesus as saying, “Blessed
are the peace-makers; they will be called sons of God.”
The word ‘son’ cannot be accepted literally because in the Bible, God apparently
addresses many of his chosen servants as ‘son’ and ‘sons.’ The Hebrews believed
God is One, and had neither wife nor children in any literal sense. Therefore,
it is obvious the expression ‘son of God’ merely meant ‘Servant of God’; one
who, because of faithful service, was close and dear to God as a son is to his
father.
Christians who came from a Greek or Roman background, later misused this term.
In
their heritage, ‘son of God’ signified an incarnation of a god or someone born
of a physical union between male and female gods. This can be seen in Acts 14:
11-13, where we read that when Paul and Barnabas preached in a city of Turkey,
pagans claimed they were gods incarnate. They called Barnabas the Roman god
Zeus, and Paul the Roman god Hermes.
Furthermore, the New Testament Greek word translated as ‘son’ are ‘pias’ and
‘paida’ which mean ‘servant,’ or ‘son in the sense of servant.’ These are
translated to ‘son’ in reference to Jesus and ‘servant’ in reference to all
others in some translations of the Bible. So, consistent with other verses,
Jesus was merely saying that he is God’s servant.
Additional problems with Trinity
To a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human
suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In
contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to
understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man.
This is expressed in the verse:
‘And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in
Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know
their pains.’ (Exodus 3:7)
God forgave sin before Jesus’ appearance, and He continues to forgive without
any assistance. When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere
repentance to receive forgiveness. Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before
God and be saved is made to all humankind.
‘And there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none
beside Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God,
and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45:21-22, Jonah 3:5-10)
Biblically, people can receive forgiveness of sins through sincere repentance
sought directly from God. This is true at all times and in all places.
There has never been a need for the so-called inter cessionary role Jesus plays
in attaining atonement. The facts speak for themselves. There is no truth to
the Christian belief that Jesus died for our sins and salvation
is only through Jesus. What about the salvation of people before Jesus? Jesus’
death brings neither atonement from sin, nor is it in any way a fulfillment of
biblical prophecy.
Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus, there occurred the miracle of the
incarnation of God in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a
human
being invites a number of questions. Let us ask the following about the man-God
Jesus. What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)?
Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh?
During his lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from
wounds? Did the cells of his body die as in ordinary human beings?
If his body did not function in a truly human way, he could not be truly human
as well as truly God. Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human way, this
would nullify any claim to divinity. It would be impossible for any part of
God, even if incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God.
The everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or
decompose: ‘For I the Lord do not change.’ (Malachi 3:6)
Did Jesus’ flesh dwell in safety after his death?
Unless Jesus’ body never underwent ‘decay’ during his lifetime he could not be
God, but if it did not undergo ‘decay’ then he was not truly human.
Bible says that God is not man
‘God is not a man’ (Numbers 23:19)
‘For I am God, and not man’ (Hosea 11:9)
Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible
‘a man who has told you the truth’ (John 8:40)
‘Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and
signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves
know.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed’
(Acts 17:31)
‘the man Christ Jesus’ (Tim. 2:5)
The Bible says that God is not a son of man
‘God is not a man nor a son of man’ (Numbers 23:19)
The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man.’
‘so will the son of man be’ (Matthew 12:40)
‘For the son of man is going to come’ (Matthew 16:27)
‘until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom.’ (Matthew 28)
‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)
‘because he is the son of man’ (John 5:27)
In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of
people (Job 25:6; Psalm 80:17;
144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).
Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a
man, then becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not
have done so. Remember God is not the author of
confusion. Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called ‘son of man’
specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according
to the Bible.
The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me
good? No one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)
And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only
One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’
(Matthew 19:17)
Jesus did not teach people that he was God
If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented
the man. Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus
denied he was God.
The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)
Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him.
The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to
the clear words from Jesus.
Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him
‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2)
‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing. Whatsoever
you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John 16:23)
‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to
worship him.’ (John 4:23)
If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for
himself
Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore,
he was not God.
Jesus worshipped the only true God
‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have
sent.’ (John 17:3)
‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12)
‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew
20:28)
How did Jesus pray to God?
‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39)
‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up
prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him
from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7)
Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face?
Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man,
sane or insane, prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding
‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the
One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?
The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of
the Only True God:
“It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship
Him. This is a Way that is straight.” (Quran 3:51)
Disciples did not believe Jesus was God
The Acts of the Apostles in the Bible details the activity of the disciples
over a period of thirty years after Jesus was raised to heaven.
Throughout this period, they never referred to Jesus as God. For instance Peter
stood up with the eleven disciples and addressed a crowd saying:
‘Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a
man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did
among you through him, as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)
For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God (confirmed in Matthew 12:18)
‘The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his
servant Jesus.’ (Acts 3:13)
‘God raised up his servant’ (Acts 3:26)
When faced by opposition from the authorities, Peter said
‘We must obey God rather than men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus’ (Acts
5:29-30)
The disciples prayed to God just as they were commanded by Jesus in Luke 11:2,
and considered Jesus to be God’s servant.
‘they raised their voices together in prayer to
God. ‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the heaven and the earth and the
sea, and everything in them.’ (Acts 4:24)
‘your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.’ (Acts 4:27)
‘of Your holy servant Jesus.’ (Acts 4:30)
‘I am indeed a servant of God.’ (Quran 19:30)
The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant
‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’
(Matt 12:18) Since Jesus is God’s
servant, Jesus can not be God.
The Bible says that Jesus could not do anything by
himself
‘The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father
doing.’ (John 5:19)
‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30)
The Bible says that Jesus did not consider himself equal
with God
and that God performed miracles through Jesus & Jesus was limited in what
he could do:
‘But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and
glorified God, who had given such authority to men.’ (Matt. 9:8)
‘a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God
performed through Him in your midst.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘he went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.’ (Acts 10:38)
If Christ was God, the Bible would simply say that Jesus
did the miracles himself without making reference to God. The fact that it was
God supplying the power for the miracles shows that God is greater than Jesus.
Also, Jesus was limited in performing miracles
One time when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, the man was not healed after the
first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8:22-26).
Once a woman was healed of her incurable bleeding.
The woman came up behind him and touched his cloak, and she was immediately
healed. But Jesus had no idea who touched him:
‘At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from
him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ (Mark
5:30)
‘He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands
on a few sick people and heal them.’ (Mark 6:5)
Quite obviously, someone with such limitations can not be God. The power of
miracles was not within Jesus.
The Bible says that at times of weakness angels
strengthened Jesus
God ,however, does not need to be strengthened. Human need to be strengthened;
God does not because God is All-Powerful. If Jesus had to be strengthened, he
must not be God.
‘An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him – in the garden of
Gethsemane’ (Luke 22:43)
‘Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and
began to minister to Him’ (Mark. 1:13)
‘And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and he was
with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to him.’ (Mark 1:13)
The Bible says that Jesus wanted God’s will to be done
‘not my will but Yours be done.’ (Luke 22:42)
‘I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent
me.’ (John 5:30)
‘For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of Him that sent me.’ (John 6:38)
Are some members of the coequal Trinity subservient, and less than equal, to
other members? Even though they have different wills
(‘I do not seek my own will’), do they obey without question the others’
commands (‘the will of Him who sent me’)? Jesus admits to subordinating his own
distinct will, yet according to the Trinitarian doctrine they should
all have the same will. Should one of the triune partners have to forgo his own
will in favor of the will of another member of the Trinity? Should not they all
have the exact same will?
The Bible says Jesus regarded himself and God as two
‘I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father.’ (John
8:17-18:)
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust
also in me.’ (John 14:1)
If Jesus was God, He would have not have regarded God’s testimony as separate
from his own.
The Bible says that Jesus is subordinate to God
‘Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head
of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.’ (1 Corinthians 11:3)
‘When he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who
put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.’ (1 Corinthians 15:28)
Bible says that Jesus grew in wisdom & learning
But God is All Wise & does not need to learn: Jesus grew in wisdom, but God
is all wise ‘Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is
infinite.’
(Psalms 147:5)
‘And Jesus increased in wisdom.’ (Luke 2:52)
God does not need to learn, but Jesus learned: ‘Although
he was a son, he learned obedience’ (Heb. 5:8)
Jesus had limited knowledge, but god’s knowledge is
infinite. Since Jesus did not know, he was not all-knowing, and therefore, he
cannot be the God whose knowledge is all-encompassing.
‘No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the
son, but only the Father.’ (Mark
13:32)
Bible says that Jesus was tempted, but God cannot be
tempted
’tempted in every way – just as we are’ (Heb. 4:15)
‘for God cannot be tempted by evil’ (James 1:13)
Since God can not be tempted, but Jesus was, therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus’ teachings were from God, not from
himself
‘So Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not mine, but His who sent
me.’ (John 7:16)
Jesus could not have said this if he were God because the doctrine would have
been his.
Bible says that Jesus died, but God cannot die
The Bible teaches that Jesus died. God cannot die. Romans 1:23 and other verses
say that God is immortal. Immortal means, ‘not subject to death.’ This term
applies only to God.
Bible says that Jesus lived because of God
‘I live because of the Father.’ (John 6:57)
Jesus cannot be God because he depended on God for his own existence.
Bible says that Jesus’ powers were given to him
‘All power is given unto me.’ (Matt 28:18)
God is all-powerful, no one gives God His powers, otherwise He would not be God
because He would be weak. Therefore, Jesus could not be God.
Bible says that Jesus was taught & commanded by God
‘As my Father hath taught me, I speak these things,’ (John 8:28)
‘The Father, who sent me, he gave me a commandment.’ (John 12:49)
‘I have kept my Father’s commandments.’ (John 15:10)
No one can teach God, otherwise God cannot be All-Knowing and would owe His
teacher. Since Jesus was taught and commanded by God,
Jesus cannot be God himself. The teacher and the student, the commander and the
commanded are not one.
Bible says that God made Jesus ‘Lord’!
‘God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ.’ (Acts 2:36)
‘Lord’ is used in many ways in the Bible, and others beside God and Jesus are
called ‘Lord.’ For example:
1) property owners (Matt. 20:8)
2) heads of households (Mark 13:35)
3) slave owners (Matt. 10:24)
4) husbands (1 Pet. 3:6)
5) a son called his father Lord (Matt.
21:30)
6) the Roman Emperor was called Lord (Acts 25:26)
7) Roman authorities were called Lord (Matt. 27:63)
‘Lord’ is not the same as ‘God.’ ‘Lord’ (the Greek word
is kurios) is a masculine title of respect and nobility used many times in the
Bible. If Jesus was God, then for the Bible to say he was ‘made’ Lord would
make no sense.
Bible says that Jesus was lower than angels
‘But we do see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels,
namely, Jesus.’ (Hebrews 2:9)
God, the Creator of angels, can not be lower than His own creation, but Jesus
was. Therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus called the Father ‘my God’
‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ (Matt.
27:46)
‘I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ (John 20:17)
‘the temple of my God the name of my God the city of my
God comes down out of heaven from my God.’ (Rev. 3:12)
Jesus did not think of himself as God, instead Jesus’ God is the same as ours.
Bible says that God cannot be seen
But Jesus was seen by others ‘no man has seen God at any time.’ (John 1:18)
Bible says twice that Jesus was accused of being God
But he denied it: According to the Bible, on only two instances the Jews
opposed Jesus on the basis that he pretended to be God or equal with God. Had
Jesus, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, claimed to be God, he is
likely to have been opposed on this basis more frequently.
Because in these two instances, when charged, in the one case, with making
himself God, and in the other, with making himself equal with God, he denied
the charges. In reply to the charge of being an equal with God, he says
immediately:
‘The son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the
Father do’; and directly after ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:19,
30)
In answer to the charge of making himself God, he appeals to the Jews in
substance thus: Your own Scriptures call Moses a god, and your magistrates
gods; I am surely not inferior to them, yet I did not call myself
God, but only the ‘son’ of God (John 10:34-36).
This is unlikely to have been Jesus’ actual response.
Hastings in ‘The Dictionary of the Bible’ says, ‘Whether Jesus used it of
himself is doubtful.’ Grolier’s encyclopedia, under the heading ‘Jesus Christ,’
says, ‘it is uncertain whether the Father/Son language (Mark 18:32; Matt. 11:25-27
par.; John passim) goes back to Jesus himself.’ A University of Richmond
professor, Dr. Robert Alley, after considerable research into newly found
ancient documents concludes that:
‘The (Biblical) passages where Jesus talks about the Son
of God are later additions. what the church said about him. Such a claim of
deity for himself would not have been consistent with his entire lifestyle as
we can reconstruct. For the first three decades after Jesus’ death
Christianity continued as a sect within Judaism. The first three decades of the
existence of the church were within the synagogue. That would have been beyond
belief if they (the followers) had boldly proclaimed the deity of
Jesus.’
Assuming Jesus did say that he was ‘son’ of God.
What did it mean? We first need to know the language of his people, the
language of the Jews to whom he was speaking.

Hi Patti York,
90 Verses in the Bible say Jesus is not God
All four Gospels record Jesus as saying, “Blessed
are the peace-makers; they will be called sons of God.”
The word ‘son’ cannot be accepted literally because in the Bible, God apparently addresses many of his chosen servants as ‘son’ and ‘sons.’ The Hebrews believed God is One, and had neither wife nor children in any literal sense. Therefore, it is obvious the expression ‘son of God’ merely meant ‘Servant of God’; one who, because of faithful service, was close and dear to God as a son is to his
father.
Christians who came from a Greek or Roman background, later misused this term.
In their heritage, ‘son of God’ signified an incarnation of a god or someone born of a physical union between male and female gods. This can be seen in Acts 14: 11-13, where we read that when Paul and Barnabas preached in a city of Turkey, pagans claimed they were gods incarnate. They called Barnabas the Roman god Zeus, and Paul the Roman god Hermes.
Furthermore, the New Testament Greek word translated as ‘son’ are ‘pias’ and ‘paida’ which mean ‘servant,’ or ‘son in the sense of servant.’ These are translated to ‘son’ in reference to Jesus and ‘servant’ in reference to all
others in some translations of the Bible. So, consistent with other verses, Jesus was merely saying that he is God’s servant.
Additional problems with Trinity
To a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to
understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man.
This is expressed in the verse:
‘And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their pains.’ (Exodus 3:7)
God forgave sin before Jesus’ appearance, and He continues to forgive without
any assistance. When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere
repentance to receive forgiveness. Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before
God and be saved is made to all humankind.
‘And there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none
beside Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God,
and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45:21-22, Jonah 3:5-10)
Biblically, people can receive forgiveness of sins through sincere repentance
sought directly from God. This is true at all times and in all places.
There has never been a need for the so-called inter cessionary role Jesus plays
in attaining atonement. The facts speak for themselves. There is no truth to
the Christian belief that Jesus died for our sins and salvation
is only through Jesus. What about the salvation of people before Jesus? Jesus’
death brings neither atonement from sin, nor is it in any way a fulfillment of
biblical prophecy.
Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus, there occurred the miracle of the
incarnation of God in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a
human
being invites a number of questions. Let us ask the following about the man-God
Jesus. What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)?
Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh?
During his lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from
wounds? Did the cells of his body die as in ordinary human beings?
If his body did not function in a truly human way, he could not be truly human
as well as truly God. Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human way, this
would nullify any claim to divinity. It would be impossible for any part of
God, even if incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God.
The everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or
decompose: ‘For I the Lord do not change.’ (Malachi 3:6)
Did Jesus’ flesh dwell in safety after his death?
Unless Jesus’ body never underwent ‘decay’ during his lifetime he could not be
God, but if it did not undergo ‘decay’ then he was not truly human.
Bible says that God is not man
‘God is not a man’ (Numbers 23:19)
‘For I am God, and not man’ (Hosea 11:9)
Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible
‘a man who has told you the truth’ (John 8:40)
‘Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and
signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves
know.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed’
(Acts 17:31)
‘the man Christ Jesus’ (Tim. 2:5)
The Bible says that God is not a son of man
‘God is not a man nor a son of man’ (Numbers 23:19)
The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man.’
‘so will the son of man be’ (Matthew 12:40)
‘For the son of man is going to come’ (Matthew 16:27)
‘until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom.’ (Matthew 28)
‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)
‘because he is the son of man’ (John 5:27)
In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of
people (Job 25:6; Psalm 80:17;
144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).
Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a
man, then becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not
have done so. Remember God is not the author of
confusion. Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called ‘son of man’
specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according
to the Bible.
The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me
good? No one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)
And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only
One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’
(Matthew 19:17)
Jesus did not teach people that he was God
If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented
the man. Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus
denied he was God.
The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)
Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him.
The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to
the clear words from Jesus.
Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him
‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2)
‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing. Whatsoever
you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John 16:23)
‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to
worship him.’ (John 4:23)
If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for
himself
Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore,
he was not God.
Jesus worshipped the only true God
‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have
sent.’ (John 17:3)
‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12)
‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew
20:28)
How did Jesus pray to God?
‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39)
‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up
prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him
from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7)
Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face?
Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man,
sane or insane, prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding
‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the
One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?
The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of
the Only True God:
“It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship
Him. This is a Way that is straight.” (Quran 3:51)
Disciples did not believe Jesus was God
The Acts of the Apostles in the Bible details the activity of the disciples
over a period of thirty years after Jesus was raised to heaven.
Throughout this period, they never referred to Jesus as God. For instance Peter
stood up with the eleven disciples and addressed a crowd saying:
‘Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a
man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did
among you through him, as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)
For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God (confirmed in Matthew 12:18)
‘The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his
servant Jesus.’ (Acts 3:13)
‘God raised up his servant’ (Acts 3:26)
When faced by opposition from the authorities, Peter said
‘We must obey God rather than men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus’ (Acts
5:29-30)
The disciples prayed to God just as they were commanded by Jesus in Luke 11:2,
and considered Jesus to be God’s servant.
‘they raised their voices together in prayer to
God. ‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the heaven and the earth and the
sea, and everything in them.’ (Acts 4:24)
‘your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.’ (Acts 4:27)
‘of Your holy servant Jesus.’ (Acts 4:30)
‘I am indeed a servant of God.’ (Quran 19:30)
The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant
‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’
(Matt 12:18) Since Jesus is God’s
servant, Jesus can not be God.
The Bible says that Jesus could not do anything by
himself
‘The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father
doing.’ (John 5:19)
‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30)
The Bible says that Jesus did not consider himself equal
with God
and that God performed miracles through Jesus & Jesus was limited in what
he could do:
‘But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and
glorified God, who had given such authority to men.’ (Matt. 9:8)
‘a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God
performed through Him in your midst.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘he went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.’ (Acts 10:38)
If Christ was God, the Bible would simply say that Jesus
did the miracles himself without making reference to God. The fact that it was
God supplying the power for the miracles shows that God is greater than Jesus.
Also, Jesus was limited in performing miracles
One time when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, the man was not healed after the
first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8:22-26).
Once a woman was healed of her incurable bleeding.
The woman came up behind him and touched his cloak, and she was immediately
healed. But Jesus had no idea who touched him:
‘At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from
him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ (Mark
5:30)
‘He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands
on a few sick people and heal them.’ (Mark 6:5)
Quite obviously, someone with such limitations can not be God. The power of
miracles was not within Jesus.
The Bible says that at times of weakness angels
strengthened Jesus
God ,however, does not need to be strengthened. Human need to be strengthened;
God does not because God is All-Powerful. If Jesus had to be strengthened, he
must not be God.
‘An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him – in the garden of
Gethsemane’ (Luke 22:43)
‘Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and
began to minister to Him’ (Mark. 1:13)
‘And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and he was
with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to him.’ (Mark 1:13)
The Bible says that Jesus wanted God’s will to be done
‘not my will but Yours be done.’ (Luke 22:42)
‘I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent
me.’ (John 5:30)
‘For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of Him that sent me.’ (John 6:38)
Are some members of the coequal Trinity subservient, and less than equal, to
other members? Even though they have different wills
(‘I do not seek my own will’), do they obey without question the others’
commands (‘the will of Him who sent me’)? Jesus admits to subordinating his own
distinct will, yet according to the Trinitarian doctrine they should
all have the same will. Should one of the triune partners have to forgo his own
will in favor of the will of another member of the Trinity? Should not they all
have the exact same will?
The Bible says Jesus regarded himself and God as two
‘I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father.’ (John
8:17-18:)
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust
also in me.’ (John 14:1)
If Jesus was God, He would have not have regarded God’s testimony as separate
from his own.
The Bible says that Jesus is subordinate to God
‘Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head
of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.’ (1 Corinthians 11:3)
‘When he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who
put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.’ (1 Corinthians 15:28)
Bible says that Jesus grew in wisdom & learning
But God is All Wise & does not need to learn: Jesus grew in wisdom, but God
is all wise ‘Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is
infinite.’
(Psalms 147:5)
‘And Jesus increased in wisdom.’ (Luke 2:52)
God does not need to learn, but Jesus learned: ‘Although
he was a son, he learned obedience’ (Heb. 5:8)
Jesus had limited knowledge, but god’s knowledge is
infinite. Since Jesus did not know, he was not all-knowing, and therefore, he
cannot be the God whose knowledge is all-encompassing.
‘No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the
son, but only the Father.’ (Mark
13:32)
Bible says that Jesus was tempted, but God cannot be
tempted
’tempted in every way – just as we are’ (Heb. 4:15)
‘for God cannot be tempted by evil’ (James 1:13)
Since God can not be tempted, but Jesus was, therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus’ teachings were from God, not from
himself
‘So Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not mine, but His who sent
me.’ (John 7:16)
Jesus could not have said this if he were God because the doctrine would have
been his.
Bible says that Jesus died, but God cannot die
The Bible teaches that Jesus died. God cannot die. Romans 1:23 and other verses
say that God is immortal. Immortal means, ‘not subject to death.’ This term
applies only to God.
Bible says that Jesus lived because of God
‘I live because of the Father.’ (John 6:57)
Jesus cannot be God because he depended on God for his own existence.
Bible says that Jesus’ powers were given to him
‘All power is given unto me.’ (Matt 28:18)
God is all-powerful, no one gives God His powers, otherwise He would not be God
because He would be weak. Therefore, Jesus could not be God.
Bible says that Jesus was taught & commanded by God
‘As my Father hath taught me, I speak these things,’ (John 8:28)
‘The Father, who sent me, he gave me a commandment.’ (John 12:49)
‘I have kept my Father’s commandments.’ (John 15:10)
No one can teach God, otherwise God cannot be All-Knowing and would owe His
teacher. Since Jesus was taught and commanded by God,
Jesus cannot be God himself. The teacher and the student, the commander and the
commanded are not one.
Bible says that God made Jesus ‘Lord’!
‘God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ.’ (Acts 2:36)
‘Lord’ is used in many ways in the Bible, and others beside God and Jesus are
called ‘Lord.’ For example:
1) property owners (Matt. 20:8)
2) heads of households (Mark 13:35)
3) slave owners (Matt. 10:24)
4) husbands (1 Pet. 3:6)
5) a son called his father Lord (Matt.
21:30)
6) the Roman Emperor was called Lord (Acts 25:26)
7) Roman authorities were called Lord (Matt. 27:63)
‘Lord’ is not the same as ‘God.’ ‘Lord’ (the Greek word
is kurios) is a masculine title of respect and nobility used many times in the
Bible. If Jesus was God, then for the Bible to say he was ‘made’ Lord would
make no sense.
Bible says that Jesus was lower than angels
‘But we do see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels,
namely, Jesus.’ (Hebrews 2:9)
God, the Creator of angels, can not be lower than His own creation, but Jesus
was. Therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus called the Father ‘my God’
‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ (Matt.
27:46)
‘I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ (John 20:17)
‘the temple of my God the name of my God the city of my
God comes down out of heaven from my God.’ (Rev. 3:12)
Jesus did not think of himself as God, instead Jesus’ God is the same as ours.
Bible says that God cannot be seen
But Jesus was seen by others ‘no man has seen God at any time.’ (John 1:18)
Bible says twice that Jesus was accused of being God
But he denied it: According to the Bible, on only two instances the Jews
opposed Jesus on the basis that he pretended to be God or equal with God. Had
Jesus, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, claimed to be God, he is
likely to have been opposed on this basis more frequently.
Because in these two instances, when charged, in the one case, with making
himself God, and in the other, with making himself equal with God, he denied
the charges. In reply to the charge of being an equal with God, he says
immediately:
‘The son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the

In the West the Left is a bigger enemy than Islam.
The Left nurtured, agitated, protected and coddled the Jihad. Covers for it now and basically uses Muslims as front line troops in their war against civilization.
The Left pushes Muslim immigration. The Left prevents protection against terror and Islamization. The Muslims are basically pushing the very boundaries the Left points out to them and weakens for them.
Cultural Marxism and self loathing have taken over our academia, media and even large parts of our culture. We are ruled by Marxist dogma and do not even realize it.
These people want to be God for the rest of us (hence their hatred of the Church and the Jews) and act like religious tyrants of the past who blamed plagues on sin and earthquakes on sodomy. The Left blamed Pamela for the Garland Jihad. The Left blames cartoonists, free speakers . They want to destroy America and Western civilization. They use Islam as the battering ram….
Needless to say Islam will kill them off as well. Yet they re so arrogant and self absorbed that they do not realize they re also building their own gallows.
We are at war as Pamela often says.
I say we are at many wars and the sooner we expose this evil alliance poised to ruin and exterminate us we will have a faint chance at saving all we hold dear.

First of all Muslims don’t even belong in a Christian Church or to be praying to their god in one! imagine if Christians or Buddhist gave similar criticism and treatment to the Muslims and their Mosques? No this is stealth overt jihad against Christian churches and any christian church dumb enough to let Muslims come and pray in their church and have say in its activities is naive and deserves to suffer for this. Muslims or the American government have no rights or powers to (prohibit or establish a form of worship and its symbols.) this is another reason which blatantly shows how incompatible Islam and Muslims are with America and American citizenship, they cannot co-exist, peacefully already these so called moderate Muslims are showing their true colors complaining and filing suits against other religions because it offends theirs! well too dam bad!!! stay out of the Catholic church then and go find and build a Mosque, but do not attack others religious expression and symbols because it offends yours! that;s the way of the emotionally retarded and immature. that’s the way of the fanatic, on the contrary Muslims should be sued for interfering with the free expression of another’s religion. Muslims need to stay in their own Mosque and learn to keep quiet. their religion is not superior over all others and has no legal precedence either.

Back in the 1980’s and 1990’s, a pizza take-out in our old neighborhood had a prominent behind the counter display of a large statue of Mary and some other religious objects. At the time, I merely thought it a little old fashioned. Also, a Thai restaurant we knew had a small shrine area in the back with Christian items and a picture of someone I took to be a king.
As time has passed, and, have become more aware of certain realities of the world, I now realize that these merchants were 1) celebrating their freedom in the USA to be Christian, and to display any religious items they chose without penalty, and 2) they were letting their customers know that they were NOT muslims.

First, my ancestors were Lebanese Maronite Christians, oldest rite in the Catholic Church, predate the church in Rome. Built Carthage and spread civilization even to the America’s. Don’t believe everything in print. You are the very example that we as a nation, are in decline. You yourself need a tutorial on ancient history, to understand that we are watching the mad dash to anarchy and the decline of civilization world wide.

Hi farlung,
What is the religion of Jesus? Catholic Church was exist 300 before Jesus birth…Every Roman citizen was force to be Christian.
90 Verses in the Bible say Jesus is not God
All four Gospels record Jesus as saying, “Blessed
are the peace-makers; they will be called sons of God.”
The word ‘son’ cannot be accepted literally because in the Bible, God apparently
addresses many of his chosen servants as ‘son’ and ‘sons.’ The Hebrews believed
God is One, and had neither wife nor children in any literal sense. Therefore,
it is obvious the expression ‘son of God’ merely meant ‘Servant of God’; one
who, because of faithful service, was close and dear to God as a son is to his
father.
Christians who came from a Greek or Roman background, later misused this term.
In their heritage, ‘son of God’ signified an incarnation of a god or someone born
of a physical union between male and female gods. This can be seen in Acts 14:
11-13, where we read that when Paul and Barnabas preached in a city of Turkey,
pagans claimed they were gods incarnate. They called Barnabas the Roman god
Zeus, and Paul the Roman god Hermes.
Furthermore, the New Testament Greek word translated as ‘son’ are ‘pias’ and
‘paida’ which mean ‘servant,’ or ‘son in the sense of servant.’ These are
translated to ‘son’ in reference to Jesus and ‘servant’ in reference to all
others in some translations of the Bible. So, consistent with other verses,
Jesus was merely saying that he is God’s servant.
Additional problems with Trinity
To a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human
suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In
contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to
understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man.
This is expressed in the verse:
‘And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in
Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know
their pains.’ (Exodus 3:7)
God forgave sin before Jesus’ appearance, and He continues to forgive without
any assistance. When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere
repentance to receive forgiveness. Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before
God and be saved is made to all humankind.
‘And there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none
beside Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God,
and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45:21-22, Jonah 3:5-10)
Biblically, people can receive forgiveness of sins through sincere repentance
sought directly from God. This is true at all times and in all places.
There has never been a need for the so-called inter cessionary role Jesus plays
in attaining atonement. The facts speak for themselves. There is no truth to
the Christian belief that Jesus died for our sins and salvation
is only through Jesus. What about the salvation of people before Jesus? Jesus’
death brings neither atonement from sin, nor is it in any way a fulfillment of
biblical prophecy.
Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus, there occurred the miracle of the
incarnation of God in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a
human
being invites a number of questions. Let us ask the following about the man-God
Jesus. What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)?
Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh?
During his lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from
wounds? Did the cells of his body die as in ordinary human beings?
If his body did not function in a truly human way, he could not be truly human
as well as truly God. Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human way, this
would nullify any claim to divinity. It would be impossible for any part of
God, even if incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God.
The everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or
decompose: ‘For I the Lord do not change.’ (Malachi 3:6)
Did Jesus’ flesh dwell in safety after his death?
Unless Jesus’ body never underwent ‘decay’ during his lifetime he could not be
God, but if it did not undergo ‘decay’ then he was not truly human.
Bible says that God is not man
‘God is not a man’ (Numbers 23:19)
‘For I am God, and not man’ (Hosea 11:9)
Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible
‘a man who has told you the truth’ (John 8:40)
‘Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and
signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves
know.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed’
(Acts 17:31)
‘the man Christ Jesus’ (Tim. 2:5)
The Bible says that God is not a son of man
‘God is not a man nor a son of man’ (Numbers 23:19)
The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man.’
‘so will the son of man be’ (Matthew 12:40)
‘For the son of man is going to come’ (Matthew 16:27)
‘until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom.’ (Matthew 28)
‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)
‘because he is the son of man’ (John 5:27)
In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of
people (Job 25:6; Psalm 80:17;
144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).
Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a
man, then becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not
have done so. Remember God is not the author of
confusion. Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called ‘son of man’
specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according
to the Bible.
The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me
good? No one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)
And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only
One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’
(Matthew 19:17)
Jesus did not teach people that he was God
If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented
the man. Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus
denied he was God.
The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)
Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him.
The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to
the clear words from Jesus.
Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him
‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2)
‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing. Whatsoever
you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John 16:23)
‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to
worship him.’ (John 4:23)
If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for
himself
Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore,
he was not God.
Jesus worshipped the only true God
‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have
sent.’ (John 17:3)
‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12)
‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew
20:28)
How did Jesus pray to God?
‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39)
‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up
prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him
from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7)
Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face?
Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man,
sane or insane, prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding
‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the
One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?
The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of
the Only True God:
“It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship
Him. This is a Way that is straight.” (Quran 3:51)
Disciples did not believe Jesus was God
The Acts of the Apostles in the Bible details the activity of the disciples
over a period of thirty years after Jesus was raised to heaven.
Throughout this period, they never referred to Jesus as God. For instance Peter
stood up with the eleven disciples and addressed a crowd saying:
‘Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a
man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did
among you through him, as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)
For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God (confirmed in Matthew 12:18)
‘The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his
servant Jesus.’ (Acts 3:13)
‘God raised up his servant’ (Acts 3:26)
When faced by opposition from the authorities, Peter said
‘We must obey God rather than men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus’ (Acts
5:29-30)
The disciples prayed to God just as they were commanded by Jesus in Luke 11:2,
and considered Jesus to be God’s servant.
‘they raised their voices together in prayer to
God. ‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the heaven and the earth and the
sea, and everything in them.’ (Acts 4:24)
‘your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.’ (Acts 4:27)
‘of Your holy servant Jesus.’ (Acts 4:30)
‘I am indeed a servant of God.’ (Quran 19:30)
The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant
‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’
(Matt 12:18) Since Jesus is God’s
servant, Jesus can not be God.
The Bible says that Jesus could not do anything by
himself
‘The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father
doing.’ (John 5:19)
‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30)
The Bible says that Jesus did not consider himself equal
with God
and that God performed miracles through Jesus & Jesus was limited in what
he could do:
‘But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and
glorified God, who had given such authority to men.’ (Matt. 9:8)
‘a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God
performed through Him in your midst.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘he went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.’ (Acts 10:38)
If Christ was God, the Bible would simply say that Jesus
did the miracles himself without making reference to God. The fact that it was
God supplying the power for the miracles shows that God is greater than Jesus.
Also, Jesus was limited in performing miracles
One time when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, the man was not healed after the
first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8:22-26).
Once a woman was healed of her incurable bleeding.
The woman came up behind him and touched his cloak, and she was immediately
healed. But Jesus had no idea who touched him:
‘At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from
him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ (Mark
5:30)
‘He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands
on a few sick people and heal them.’ (Mark 6:5)
Quite obviously, someone with such limitations can not be God. The power of
miracles was not within Jesus.
The Bible says that at times of weakness angels
strengthened Jesus
God ,however, does not need to be strengthened. Human need to be strengthened;
God does not because God is All-Powerful. If Jesus had to be strengthened, he
must not be God.
‘An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him – in the garden of
Gethsemane’ (Luke 22:43)
‘Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and
began to minister to Him’ (Mark. 1:13)
‘And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and he was
with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to him.’ (Mark 1:13)
The Bible says that Jesus wanted God’s will to be done
‘not my will but Yours be done.’ (Luke 22:42)
‘I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent
me.’ (John 5:30)
‘For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of Him that sent me.’ (John 6:38)
Are some members of the coequal Trinity subservient, and less than equal, to
other members? Even though they have different wills
(‘I do not seek my own will’), do they obey without question the others’
commands (‘the will of Him who sent me’)? Jesus admits to subordinating his own
distinct will, yet according to the Trinitarian doctrine they should
all have the same will. Should one of the triune partners have to forgo his own
will in favor of the will of another member of the Trinity? Should not they all
have the exact same will?
The Bible says Jesus regarded himself and God as two
‘I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father.’ (John
8:17-18:)
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust
also in me.’ (John 14:1)
If Jesus was God, He would have not have regarded God’s testimony as separate
from his own.
The Bible says that Jesus is subordinate to God
‘Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head
of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.’ (1 Corinthians 11:3)
‘When he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who
put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.’ (1 Corinthians 15:28)
Bible says that Jesus grew in wisdom & learning
But God is All Wise & does not need to learn: Jesus grew in wisdom, but God
is all wise ‘Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is
infinite.’
(Psalms 147:5)
‘And Jesus increased in wisdom.’ (Luke 2:52)
God does not need to learn, but Jesus learned: ‘Although
he was a son, he learned obedience’ (Heb. 5:8)
Jesus had limited knowledge, but god’s knowledge is
infinite. Since Jesus did not know, he was not all-knowing, and therefore, he
cannot be the God whose knowledge is all-encompassing.
‘No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the
son, but only the Father.’ (Mark
13:32)
Bible says that Jesus was tempted, but God cannot be
tempted
’tempted in every way – just as we are’ (Heb. 4:15)
‘for God cannot be tempted by evil’ (James 1:13)
Since God can not be tempted, but Jesus was, therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus’ teachings were from God, not from
himself
‘So Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not mine, but His who sent
me.’ (John 7:16)
Jesus could not have said this if he were God because the doctrine would have
been his.
Bible says that Jesus died, but God cannot die
The Bible teaches that Jesus died. God cannot die. Romans 1:23 and other verses
say that God is immortal. Immortal means, ‘not subject to death.’ This term
applies only to God.
Bible says that Jesus lived because of God
‘I live because of the Father.’ (John 6:57)
Jesus cannot be God because he depended on God for his own existence.
Bible says that Jesus’ powers were given to him
‘All power is given unto me.’ (Matt 28:18)
God is all-powerful, no one gives God His powers, otherwise He would not be God
because He would be weak. Therefore, Jesus could not be God.
Bible says that Jesus was taught & commanded by God
‘As my Father hath taught me, I speak these things,’ (John 8:28)
‘The Father, who sent me, he gave me a commandment.’ (John 12:49)
‘I have kept my Father’s commandments.’ (John 15:10)
No one can teach God, otherwise God cannot be All-Knowing and would owe His
teacher. Since Jesus was taught and commanded by God,
Jesus cannot be God himself. The teacher and the student, the commander and the
commanded are not one.
Bible says that God made Jesus ‘Lord’!
‘God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ.’ (Acts 2:36)
‘Lord’ is used in many ways in the Bible, and others beside God and Jesus are
called ‘Lord.’ For example:
1) property owners (Matt. 20:8)
2) heads of households (Mark 13:35)
3) slave owners (Matt. 10:24)
4) husbands (1 Pet. 3:6)
5) a son called his father Lord (Matt.
21:30)
6) the Roman Emperor was called Lord (Acts 25:26)
7) Roman authorities were called Lord (Matt. 27:63)
‘Lord’ is not the same as ‘God.’ ‘Lord’ (the Greek word
is kurios) is a masculine title of respect and nobility used many times in the
Bible. If Jesus was God, then for the Bible to say he was ‘made’ Lord would
make no sense.
Bible says that Jesus was lower than angels
‘But we do see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels,
namely, Jesus.’ (Hebrews 2:9)
God, the Creator of angels, can not be lower than His own creation, but Jesus
was. Therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus called the Father ‘my God’
‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ (Matt.
27:46)
‘I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ (John 20:17)
‘the temple of my God the name of my God the city of my
God comes down out of heaven from my God.’ (Rev. 3:12)
Jesus did not think of himself as God, instead Jesus’ God is the same as ours.
Bible says that God cannot be seen
But Jesus was seen by others ‘no man has seen God at any time.’ (John 1:18)
Bible says twice that Jesus was accused of being God
But he denied it: According to the Bible, on only two instances the Jews
opposed Jesus on the basis that he pretended to be God or equal with God. Had
Jesus, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, claimed to be God, he is
likely to have been opposed on this basis more frequently.
Because in these two instances, when charged, in the one case, with making
himself God, and in the other, with making himself equal with God, he denied
the charges. In reply to the charge of being an equal with God, he says
immediately:
‘The son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the
Father do’; and directly after ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:19,
30)
In answer to the charge of making himself God, he appeals to the Jews in
substance thus: Your own Scriptures call Moses a god, and your magistrates
gods; I am surely not inferior to them, yet I did not call myself
God, but only the ‘son’ of God (John 10:34-36).
This is unlikely to have been Jesus’ actual response.
Hastings in ‘The Dictionary of the Bible’ says, ‘Whether Jesus used it of
himself is doubtful.’ Grolier’s encyclopedia, under the heading ‘Jesus Christ,’
says, ‘it is uncertain whether the Father/Son language (Mark 18:32; Matt. 11:25-27
par.; John passim) goes back to Jesus himself.’ A University of Richmond
professor, Dr. Robert Alley, after considerable research into newly found
ancient documents concludes that:
‘The (Biblical) passages where Jesus talks about the Son
of God are later additions. what the church said about him. Such a claim of
deity for himself would not have been consistent with his entire lifestyle as
we can reconstruct. For the first three decades after Jesus’ death
Christianity continued as a sect within Judaism. The first three decades of the
existence of the church were within the synagogue. That would have been beyond
belief if they (the followers) had boldly proclaimed the deity of
Jesus.’
Assuming Jesus did say that he was ‘son’ of God.
What did it mean? We first need to know the language of his people, the
language of the Jews to whom he was speaking.

Hi Nina Weil,
Bible support terrorism and suicide killing of 3000 lives :
There are more than 200 words of Sword in Bible and none in AlQuran.
34″Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35″For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;… Matthew 10:34
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately,spare for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)
“I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence. (Luke 19:26-27)
Now the house was full of … about three thousand men and women … And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God .. strengthen me … that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes … and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew
at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. Judges 16:27-30
Women Abused In Bible :
Women Shall Not Speak
“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
Women’s Sorrow
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” (Genesis 3:16)
Comment
Not only does the Woman get blamed for the Fall, but God decides to multiply her sorrow, plus, she must submit to her husband like a slave.
Rip Up Pregnant Women
“Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” (Hosea 13:16)
“Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman.” (Eccles. 25:13)
Women in the Bible are considered evil
“Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.” (Eccles. 25:22)
Wives, Submit Yourselves!
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.” (Ephesians 5:22-24)
Wife Like Slaves ?
Stone The Woman!
“If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, and a man find her
in the city, and lie with her;” (Deuteronomy 22:22)
“Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall
stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being
in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou
shalt put away evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 22:24)
Silence The Woman!
“Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman
to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam
was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being
deceived was in the transgression.” (I Timothy 2:11-14)
Cut Off Her Hand!
“When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth
near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and
putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off
her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.” (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)
Female Births Get Penalty
“Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and
born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days
of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.” (Leviticus 12:2)
“But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her
separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and
six days.” (Leviticus 12:5)
Raping And Killing
“Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined
unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to
pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives
ravished.” (Isaiah 13:15-16)
Birth of Woman Is A Loss
The Catholic Bible states explicitly that:
” The birth of a daughter is a loss” (Ecclesiasticus 22:3)
Woman Unclean for two weeks for giving birth to a female child as compared to
seven days of a male child
“…If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be
unclean seven days…but if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two
weeks…” (Leviticus 12:2-5)

Got it wrong again, Jim. Bush gave Saddam lots of warning to surrender his WMDs for world safety. Then, with consent of Congress, Bush went into Iraq to remove Saddam and WMDs. Recently, US military actually found physical evidence that they had indeed been housed there.
As for Afghanistan, Bush wanted to contained the terrorist elements in that area. He should have uprooted them. He didn’t.
Now, we have a problem not the least of which is a spineless wimp in the White House.
If you’re looking to find a terrorist in that area you need only enter the nearest mosque.

Hi Nina Weil,
Thanks for not denying George W Bush has killed millions of muslims include women, childen, old women and old man. Muslims are the most victims of his terrorist act..
Everybody knows that US wanted Iraq cheap oil and to protect Israel. Until nowadays there are no WMD found and he has appointed weak and corrupted puppet government in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in UK and Western countries.. there are currently 3 millions muslims in UK and Islam is spread in peace manner in UK and Western countries.
On April 27, 2014 the United Arab Emirates was declared number one in the world for treating women with respect, according to a major scientific study comparing development and well-being among all 132 nations of the world. UAE has successfully implemented Islamic Law.

Hi Commieobamie,
Bible said Jesus pray by bow his face to ground just like a muslim,
Bible : Matthew 26:39 He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
May God Bless You and Give You Guidance…Worship only one almighty god without any partners…

Hi,
90 Verses in the Bible say Jesus is not God
All four Gospels record Jesus as saying, “Blessed
are the peace-makers; they will be called sons of God.”
The word ‘son’ cannot be accepted literally because in the Bible, God apparently addresses many of his chosen servants as ‘son’ and ‘sons.’ The Hebrews believed God is One, and had neither wife nor children in any literal sense. Therefore, it is obvious the expression ‘son of God’ merely meant ‘Servant of God’; one who, because of faithful service, was close and dear to God as a son is to his father.
Christians who came from a Greek or Roman background, later misused this term.
In their heritage, ‘son of God’ signified an incarnation of a god or someone born of a physical union between male and female gods. This can be seen in Acts 14: 11-13, where we read that when Paul and Barnabas preached in a city of Turkey, pagans claimed they were gods incarnate. They called Barnabas the Roman god Zeus, and Paul the Roman god Hermes.
Furthermore, the New Testament Greek word translated as ‘son’ are ‘pias’ and ‘paida’ which mean ‘servant,’ or ‘son in the sense of servant.’ These are
translated to ‘son’ in reference to Jesus and ‘servant’ in reference to all
others in some translations of the Bible. So, consistent with other verses,
Jesus was merely saying that he is God’s servant.
Additional problems with Trinity
To a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man.
This is expressed in the verse:
‘And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in
Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know
their pains.’ (Exodus 3:7)
God forgave sin before Jesus’ appearance, and He continues to forgive without
any assistance. When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere
repentance to receive forgiveness. Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before
God and be saved is made to all humankind.
‘And there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none
beside Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God,
and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45:21-22, Jonah 3:5-10)
Biblically, people can receive forgiveness of sins through sincere repentance
sought directly from God. This is true at all times and in all places.
There has never been a need for the so-called inter cessionary role Jesus plays
in attaining atonement. The facts speak for themselves. There is no truth to
the Christian belief that Jesus died for our sins and salvation
is only through Jesus. What about the salvation of people before Jesus? Jesus’
death brings neither atonement from sin, nor is it in any way a fulfillment of
biblical prophecy.
Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus, there occurred the miracle of the
incarnation of God in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a
human
being invites a number of questions. Let us ask the following about the man-God
Jesus. What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)?
Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh?
During his lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from
wounds? Did the cells of his body die as in ordinary human beings?
If his body did not function in a truly human way, he could not be truly human
as well as truly God. Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human way, this
would nullify any claim to divinity. It would be impossible for any part of
God, even if incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God.
The everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or
decompose: ‘For I the Lord do not change.’ (Malachi 3:6)
Did Jesus’ flesh dwell in safety after his death?
Unless Jesus’ body never underwent ‘decay’ during his lifetime he could not be
God, but if it did not undergo ‘decay’ then he was not truly human.
Bible says that God is not man
‘God is not a man’ (Numbers 23:19)
‘For I am God, and not man’ (Hosea 11:9)
Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible
‘a man who has told you the truth’ (John 8:40)
‘Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and
signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves
know.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed’
(Acts 17:31)
‘the man Christ Jesus’ (Tim. 2:5)
The Bible says that God is not a son of man
‘God is not a man nor a son of man’ (Numbers 23:19)
The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man.’
‘so will the son of man be’ (Matthew 12:40)
‘For the son of man is going to come’ (Matthew 16:27)
‘until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom.’ (Matthew 28)
‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)
‘because he is the son of man’ (John 5:27)
In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of
people (Job 25:6; Psalm 80:17;
144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).
Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a
man, then becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not
have done so. Remember God is not the author of
confusion. Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called ‘son of man’
specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according
to the Bible.
The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me
good? No one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)
And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only
One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’
(Matthew 19:17)
Jesus did not teach people that he was God
If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented
the man. Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus
denied he was God.
The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)
Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him.
The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to
the clear words from Jesus.
Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him
‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2)
‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing. Whatsoever
you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John 16:23)
‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to
worship him.’ (John 4:23)
If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for
himself
Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore,
he was not God.
Jesus worshipped the only true God
‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have
sent.’ (John 17:3)
‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12)
‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew
20:28)
How did Jesus pray to God?
‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39)
‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up
prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him
from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7)
Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face?
Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man,
sane or insane, prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding
‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the
One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?
The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of
the Only True God:
“It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship
Him. This is a Way that is straight.” (Quran 3:51)
Disciples did not believe Jesus was God
The Acts of the Apostles in the Bible details the activity of the disciples
over a period of thirty years after Jesus was raised to heaven.
Throughout this period, they never referred to Jesus as God. For instance Peter
stood up with the eleven disciples and addressed a crowd saying:
‘Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a
man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did
among you through him, as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)
For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God (confirmed in Matthew 12:18)
‘The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his
servant Jesus.’ (Acts 3:13)
‘God raised up his servant’ (Acts 3:26)
When faced by opposition from the authorities, Peter said
‘We must obey God rather than men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus’ (Acts
5:29-30)
The disciples prayed to God just as they were commanded by Jesus in Luke 11:2,
and considered Jesus to be God’s servant.
‘they raised their voices together in prayer to
God. ‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the heaven and the earth and the
sea, and everything in them.’ (Acts 4:24)
‘your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.’ (Acts 4:27)
‘of Your holy servant Jesus.’ (Acts 4:30)
‘I am indeed a servant of God.’ (Quran 19:30)
The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant
‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’
(Matt 12:18) Since Jesus is God’s
servant, Jesus can not be God.
The Bible says that Jesus could not do anything by
himself
‘The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father
doing.’ (John 5:19)
‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30)
The Bible says that Jesus did not consider himself equal
with God
and that God performed miracles through Jesus & Jesus was limited in what
he could do:
‘But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and
glorified God, who had given such authority to men.’ (Matt. 9:8)
‘a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God
performed through Him in your midst.’ (Acts 2:22)
‘he went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.’ (Acts 10:38)
If Christ was God, the Bible would simply say that Jesus
did the miracles himself without making reference to God. The fact that it was
God supplying the power for the miracles shows that God is greater than Jesus.
Also, Jesus was limited in performing miracles
One time when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, the man was not healed after the
first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8:22-26).
Once a woman was healed of her incurable bleeding.
The woman came up behind him and touched his cloak, and she was immediately
healed. But Jesus had no idea who touched him:
‘At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from
him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ (Mark
5:30)
‘He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands
on a few sick people and heal them.’ (Mark 6:5)
Quite obviously, someone with such limitations can not be God. The power of
miracles was not within Jesus.
The Bible says that at times of weakness angels
strengthened Jesus
God ,however, does not need to be strengthened. Human need to be strengthened;
God does not because God is All-Powerful. If Jesus had to be strengthened, he
must not be God.
‘An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him – in the garden of
Gethsemane’ (Luke 22:43)
‘Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and
began to minister to Him’ (Mark. 1:13)
‘And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and he was
with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to him.’ (Mark 1:13)
The Bible says that Jesus wanted God’s will to be done
‘not my will but Yours be done.’ (Luke 22:42)
‘I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent
me.’ (John 5:30)
‘For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of Him that sent me.’ (John 6:38)
Are some members of the coequal Trinity subservient, and less than equal, to
other members? Even though they have different wills
(‘I do not seek my own will’), do they obey without question the others’
commands (‘the will of Him who sent me’)? Jesus admits to subordinating his own
distinct will, yet according to the Trinitarian doctrine they should
all have the same will. Should one of the triune partners have to forgo his own
will in favor of the will of another member of the Trinity? Should not they all
have the exact same will?
The Bible says Jesus regarded himself and God as two
‘I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father.’ (John
8:17-18:)
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust
also in me.’ (John 14:1)
If Jesus was God, He would have not have regarded God’s testimony as separate
from his own.
The Bible says that Jesus is subordinate to God
‘Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head
of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.’ (1 Corinthians 11:3)
‘When he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who
put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.’ (1 Corinthians 15:28)
Bible says that Jesus grew in wisdom & learning
But God is All Wise & does not need to learn: Jesus grew in wisdom, but God
is all wise ‘Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is
infinite.’
(Psalms 147:5)
‘And Jesus increased in wisdom.’ (Luke 2:52)
God does not need to learn, but Jesus learned: ‘Although
he was a son, he learned obedience’ (Heb. 5:8)
Jesus had limited knowledge, but god’s knowledge is
infinite. Since Jesus did not know, he was not all-knowing, and therefore, he
cannot be the God whose knowledge is all-encompassing.
‘No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the
son, but only the Father.’ (Mark
13:32)
Bible says that Jesus was tempted, but God cannot be
tempted
’tempted in every way – just as we are’ (Heb. 4:15)
‘for God cannot be tempted by evil’ (James 1:13)
Since God can not be tempted, but Jesus was, therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus’ teachings were from God, not from
himself
‘So Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not mine, but His who sent
me.’ (John 7:16)
Jesus could not have said this if he were God because the doctrine would have
been his.
Bible says that Jesus died, but God cannot die
The Bible teaches that Jesus died. God cannot die. Romans 1:23 and other verses
say that God is immortal. Immortal means, ‘not subject to death.’ This term
applies only to God.
Bible says that Jesus lived because of God
‘I live because of the Father.’ (John 6:57)
Jesus cannot be God because he depended on God for his own existence.
Bible says that Jesus’ powers were given to him
‘All power is given unto me.’ (Matt 28:18)
God is all-powerful, no one gives God His powers, otherwise He would not be God
because He would be weak. Therefore, Jesus could not be God.
Bible says that Jesus was taught & commanded by God
‘As my Father hath taught me, I speak these things,’ (John 8:28)
‘The Father, who sent me, he gave me a commandment.’ (John 12:49)
‘I have kept my Father’s commandments.’ (John 15:10)
No one can teach God, otherwise God cannot be All-Knowing and would owe His
teacher. Since Jesus was taught and commanded by God,
Jesus cannot be God himself. The teacher and the student, the commander and the
commanded are not one.
Bible says that God made Jesus ‘Lord’!
‘God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ.’ (Acts 2:36)
‘Lord’ is used in many ways in the Bible, and others beside God and Jesus are
called ‘Lord.’ For example:
1) property owners (Matt. 20:8)
2) heads of households (Mark 13:35)
3) slave owners (Matt. 10:24)
4) husbands (1 Pet. 3:6)
5) a son called his father Lord (Matt.
21:30)
6) the Roman Emperor was called Lord (Acts 25:26)
7) Roman authorities were called Lord (Matt. 27:63)
‘Lord’ is not the same as ‘God.’ ‘Lord’ (the Greek word
is kurios) is a masculine title of respect and nobility used many times in the
Bible. If Jesus was God, then for the Bible to say he was ‘made’ Lord would
make no sense.
Bible says that Jesus was lower than angels
‘But we do see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels,
namely, Jesus.’ (Hebrews 2:9)
God, the Creator of angels, can not be lower than His own creation, but Jesus
was. Therefore, Jesus was not God.
Bible says that Jesus called the Father ‘my God’
‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ (Matt.
27:46)
‘I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ (John 20:17)
‘the temple of my God the name of my God the city of my
God comes down out of heaven from my God.’ (Rev. 3:12)
Jesus did not think of himself as God, instead Jesus’ God is the same as ours.
Bible says that God cannot be seen
But Jesus was seen by others ‘no man has seen God at any time.’ (John 1:18)
Bible says twice that Jesus was accused of being God
But he denied it: According to the Bible, on only two instances the Jews
opposed Jesus on the basis that he pretended to be God or equal with God. Had
Jesus, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, claimed to be God, he is
likely to have been opposed on this basis more frequently.
Because in these two instances, when charged, in the one case, with making
himself God, and in the other, with making himself equal with God, he denied
the charges. In reply to the charge of being an equal with God, he says
immediately:
‘The son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the
Father do’; and directly after ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:19,
30)
In answer to the charge of making himself God, he appeals to the Jews in
substance thus: Your own Scriptures call Moses a god, and your magistrates
gods; I am surely not inferior to them, yet I did not call myself
God, but only the ‘son’ of God (John 10:34-36).
This is unlikely to have been Jesus’ actual response.
Hastings in ‘The Dictionary of the Bible’ says, ‘Whether Jesus used it of
himself is doubtful.’ Grolier’s encyclopedia, under the heading ‘Jesus Christ,’
says, ‘it is uncertain whether the Father/Son language (Mark 18:32; Matt. 11:25-27
par.; John passim) goes back to Jesus himself.’ A University of Richmond
professor, Dr. Robert Alley, after considerable research into newly found
ancient documents concludes that:
‘The (Biblical) passages where Jesus talks about the Son
of God are later additions. what the church said about him. Such a claim of
deity for himself would not have been consistent with his entire lifestyle as
we can reconstruct. For the first three decades after Jesus’ death
Christianity continued as a sect within Judaism. The first three decades of the
existence of the church were within the synagogue. That would have been beyond
belief if they (the followers) had boldly proclaimed the deity of
Jesus.’
Assuming Jesus did say that he was ‘son’ of God.
What did it mean? We first need to know the language of his people, the
language of the Jews to whom he was speaking.

Hi farlung,
Bible said women must cover their head,
Bible said in Corinthians 11:6 But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved. 6For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.
Your virgin mary and nun in church also cover her head, just like a muslim lady.

Hi Dusty Koellhoffer,
On April 27, 2014 the United Arab Emirates was declared number one in the world
for treating women with respect, according to a major scientific study comparing
development and well-being among all 132 nations of the world. UAE has
successfully implemented Islamic Law.
A lot of non muslims working in UAE in Oil and Gas Industries and they earn good pay. Thanks for muslim countries that provide jobs for non muslim.
Beer, nightclub and porks are available everywhere for non muslim. At night time a lot of people went to parks for jogging in peace.
The global Social Progress Index also ranked the UAE as number one for the lowest level of violent crime, the lowest homicide rate, the lowest undernourishment rate, and the highest rate of enrolment in secondary education.
The report was produced by a team of prominent international economists led by Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School, as part of an initiative launched by the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council.
Muslim and non muslim respect each other and live in peace in UAE.

The students did not start any problems. It was a professor from another college- most likely he is a xian just looking to rile up other hate filled xians.

Ya would think the name kinda hints at a true religion based operation as opposed to your normal moderate cult mud hut and cave setting..
Shouldn’t a mos lam with the education equivalency high enough to enter any college be intelligent enough to read the name of their school enrollment papers?

Catholic University to DC area professor: too many muslims on campus for Christian students to pray the rosary.
By the way, what are muslim students doing in a catholic university that for them is anathema if not working at its destruction while paving the way for the Western caliphate?

It’s a Catholic college, not a marxist one, where (1) Catholic students would never enroll as a matter of common sense, and (2) even if they did, there wouldn’t be a professor arrogant or stupid enough to complain that there were too many images of the hammer & sickle to enable the catholic students to pray.
The parallel with a muslim college can’t really be drawn because (1) there is none that could match an adequate level of education for the West and (2) even if there were, no “infidel” student would ever be accepted there.

I am reminded here of the human interest stories about a rabbi who
attended Notre Dame as an undergraduate. And Notre Dame actually had a
Jewish quarterback a few years ago. Neither of them complained about the
Catholic symbols on the campus. There is even a history of Jewish
students at Notre Dame. http://www.archives.nd.edu/abo… Why is that and why can’t the Muslim students at Catholic University adapt a similar attitude?
When my father was in the last part of his life, he spent three days under
observation at the best palliative care hospital in NY, Calvary Hospital
in the Bronx. Although my family is Jewish and I noticed the crucifix
on the wall of his room, the last thought in my mind was to complain to
people who were treating my dad with their charity about their religious
symbols. A volunteer, a Protestant minister, actually removed the
detachable crucifix from the wall of the room when he read my father’s
chart. And I did not complain about all the Christian symbols in the
lobby of the hospital or the Christian artwork.

It was the students who complained. At the same time, religious freedom is an important cornerstone of American beliefs- and that includes all faiths or none at all. As an American, it breaks my heart to see Americans hate other Americans. What is clear is that most Americans are so entrenched in hatred for Islam that they do not take the time to learn anything about it.
The word jihad most frequently used in the Koran is in the expression striving in the way of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah). It also refers to the inner spiritual struggle to know god and to reflect that in all one does. It is also used to mean the struggle against the enemies of Islam, much the same as Christians defend Christianity. The only valid basis for jihad through arms is to end oppression when all other measures have failed.

How many Christians enter a Mosque, an Islamic school or a Muslim bakery?
A university more than likely receives some kind of public funding, and if it opens the doors to all, then it serves all- equally. Why is that such a difficult concept?

Because since the Saudis and their ilk usually fund Muslim schools here, we are at an unfair advantage. They never have to allow “equality.” They take advantage of our system and use it against us.

So ridiculous. If a Christian or Jew were allowed at all at a Muslim Educational Facility ( which they wouldn’t be allowed), they would be promptly shown the door if they even thought of praying to Jesus, or God let alone requiring a space free of Muslim prayer rugs to exercise their faith.
This is getting beyond serious. The constant whining for what their rights, without them ever considering other religious rights and getting away with it has to be curtailed promptly.
Sharia law is sneaking up on Americans and Canadians that let little things continue. People that believe in Sharia law are not abiding with the laws of the country they are in. They are only there to change laws. Wake up people. Get vocal and spread the word.

Professor Banzhaf, You believe in diversity, I presume. How about Quid pro Quo? In your world القصاص(qisas), Could you please help me establish the First Baptist Church of Mecca? I want to place it within view of your special Kaaba. Also, maybe Georgetown can help me repatriate Saudi ARAMCO back inside Chevron.

My Letter to the Prof as follows:
“Dear Professor:
I write to you aghast at the article I have just read where you are suggesting that a Catholic School become more “Muslim-Prayer-Friendly”.
This is after all…a CATHOLIC School we are talking about…right?
We are hearing of this absurdness even down here in South Africa.
I’m not a Catholic, but I find it ridiculous that this point-scoring, media-grabbing political correctness should even be considered a valid topic of conversation. You grandstand and expect tolerance for a system of religion that is by far the most intolerant in the world. The crimes against humanity and equality that are committed in the name of Allah are enough to make one wonder if we are truly an enlightened species entering the 21st century.
I look forward to your similar indignation against Muslim Schools worldwide. I’m sure with your help, we could get a Christian Prayer Room installed in every one. Perhaps with your dedication to equality, we can expect you to lodge this complaint in Saudi Arabia or Tehran, global leaders in fairness and tolerance towards anything
non-Muslim.
I stand eagerly by and await your response.
regards,
Brandon Leigh.”

The article refers to the one dated May 11, 2015 on the DC Gazette. And it clearly says that the complaint wasn’t not issued by muslim students, but by a professor who doesn’t even teach at the Catholic University (for obvious reasons).
It is the second time the same professor is suing the same university (for a different reason), so your link possibly refers to the first one. In both cases, the University has to spend time and funds to respond to the complaint, whatever the results.
This professional agitator is the embodiment of the Law Professor defined as “A lawyer who couldn’t, wouldn’t, or shouldn’t practice law”.

Atikva: Did you read my link?
The original source of this story about Banzhaf filing against Catholic University over lack of Muslim prayer space (yes, I am aware this was his second complaint against CUA) is not DC Gazette; it is an undated BeliefNet story from 2011.
A Catholic University spokesman has confirmed that I am right, Banzhaf’s complaint is years old and nothing came of it.
That BeliefNet story has recently been erroneously picked up by numerous sources, including Breitbart, Hannity and others.
