Creation ex-nihilo by the Son


بديع السموت والأرض أنى يكون له ولد ولم تكن
له صحبة وخلق كل شيء وهو بكل شيء عليم


BadeeAAu alssamawati waal-ardi anna yakoonu lahu waladun walam takun lahu sahibatun wakhalaqa kulla shay-in wahuwa bikulli shay-in AAaleemun

6.101 Originator (of) the heavens and the earth, that He has certainly been his Son, and certainly not to be his companion, and He created every thing that He will, and He on account of every thing that he will who knows.


Just as in other Koranic creation ex-nihilo ayahs, the Son, Jesus Christ, is mentioned as being present at the origin of the Universe, confirming that He is God Almighty.

Further, the distinction of Jesus’ deity is confirmed by distancing Himself from just being a “companion” (sahibatun).






Glory be to the Son

ما كان لله أن يتخذ من ولد سبحنه إذا قضى أمرا فإنما يقول له كن فيكون

Ma kana lillahi an yattakhitha min waladin subhanahu itha qada amran fa-innama yaqoolu lahu kun fayakoonu

19.35 That was to “allah” that he takes of a Son, glory be to Him when He issued a decree, commanded, so only truly His, He says: "Be you.” So He has been.


This ayah demonstrates yet another Koranic example of the Son having the ability to create with His powerful word.





The Son brings the End Times

وقالوا اتخذ الرحمن ولدا لقد جئتم شيءا إدا تكاد السموت يتفطرن منه وتنشق الأرض وتخر الجبال هدا أن دعوا للرحمن ولدا وما ينبغي للرحمن أن يتخذ ولدا


Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan laqad ji/tum shay-an iddan takadu alssamawatu yatafattarna minhu watanshaqqu al-ardu watakhirru aljibalu haddan an daAAaw lilrrahmani waladan Wama yanbaghee lilrrahmani an yattakhitha waladan

And they said: "The most merciful he has taken a Son. Truly You came, a disastrous thing.” The heavens are well nigh (to) burst from Him and the earth she cleaves asunder and then later the mountains fall down into pieces violently with noise. That they called to the most merciful a Son. And that it is convenient to the most merciful that he takes a Son. 19.88 – 92


Contrary to popular Islamic thinking, these ayahs actually proclaim Jesus Christ as the “convenient” Son by first quoting what they said “qaloo”, and then shifting to the singular destruction which Jesus Christ brings during the end times as He opens the Seven seals of Revelation.
Thankyou for this information

And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given to us an understanding that we may know the true One, and we are in the true One, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and the life eternal. (1 John 5.20)
You got to regfer some other translations as well

New International Version
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

The Greek here reads:
"oidamen de hoti ho huios tou theou hekei kai dedwken heuin dianoian hiva ginwskomen ton alethinon: kai esmen en tw alethinos en tw huiw autou Iesou Christw. Houtos estin ho alethinos theos kai zwe aiwnios."

Literally this is "We-have-known but that the Son of-the God is-come, and he-has-given to-us mental-perception in-order-that we-are-knowing the true(one); and we-are in the true(one), in the Son of-him to-Jesus Christ. This(one) is the true God and life everlasting."- Kingdom Interlinear Translation, WTB&TS, 1986 edition.


Dont you believe the Scripture when it says:

Jn 17:1 . These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
Jn 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


Don't u believe what Jesus Christ said???

Who raised Jesus from the dead?

· God the Father… Eph 1.15-20; Gal 1.1; 1 Thes 1.9-10

· God the Son…John 2.19-22; 10.17-18; Romans 6.4;

· God the Spirit…Romans 8.11; 1 Peter 3.18

· The Trinity…Romans 10.91 Peter 1.20-21; Hebrews 13.20-21; 1 Cor6.14; Col 2.11-12; Acts 2.23-24; 3.14-15; 13.30-37
So are u trying to say, when jesus Christ was crucified on the cross, it was Father, son and the holy spirit who were crucified. So for 3 days, the world was without God is it?

How can Jesus Christ who is dead can raise himself my friend. We all know the meaning of death

Ec 8:8 [There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither [hath he] power in the day of death:
Ec 9:5.. but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Dont tell me Jesus Christ was alive, though he was dead. the scripture says that Jesus gave up his spirit.

Mk 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

No.

Just the Son was crucified.

The Trinity was involved in the Resurrection of the Son.

Again...you don't know scripture...

Typical ignorant follower of islam response.

Scripture informs the reader that it was Jesus' flesh that died.

Study up....

Jesus is God.

Even in the Koran, Jesus is God.

Of the seventy times in which the demonstrative pronoun ουτος has a personal referent in the Gospel of John and his Epistles, the Father is never the referent! This fact, along with proximity, significantly increases the likelihood that Jesus Christ is the antecedent in the case of 1 John 5.20, as thus…


οιδαμεν δε οτι ο υιος του θεου ηκει καιδεδωκεν ημιν διανοιαν ινα γινωσκομεν τον αληθινον και εσμεν εν τω αληθινω εν τωυιω αυτου ιησου χριστω ουτος εστιν οαληθινος θεος και ζωη αιωνιος

oidamen de hoti hohuios tou theou hēkei kai dedōken hēmin dianoian hina ginōskōmen ton alēthinonkai esmen en tō huiō autou Iēsou Christō houtos estin ho alēthinostheos kai zōē aiōnios

And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given to us an understanding that we may know the true One, and we are in the true One, in His Son Jesus Christ.This is thetrue God and the life eternal. (1 John 5.20)




Regarding your centerpiece, John 17.3, if you were even remotely familiar with Greek, then you would already be cognizant that there are absolutely no grammatical reasons at all for denying that αληθινον θεον refers to Jesus Christ.

This can be deduced from a study of the article with multiple substantives connected via kai.


αυτη δε εστιν η αιωνιος ζωη ιναγινωσκωσιν σε τον μονον αληθινον θεονκαι ον απεστειλας ιησουν χριστον

hautē de estin hē aiōnios zōē hina ginōskōsin se ton monon alēthinon theon kai hon apesteilasIēsoun christon

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, theonly true God, and JesusChrist, whom You have sent. (John17.3)


Thus…it is only out of your sheer ignorance of NT Greek thatyou have chosen to follow a cult which denies Jesus’ deity.

Most assuredly you cannot even begin to exegetically prove your lame position….nor do you even attempt to.

You have nothing.

The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. Rev. 20:6

Does this reference from Revelation 20 help? Look at the plurality to the singularity of that verse. :)

In Quran no where it is written that Jesus were God or son of God.Infact Quran has told the truth about christ and the changes in the book brought about by human beings in bible.
in fact in Qur'an God says that he is only one,he does not have any son ,he is above such things
.
Christians changed the teachings of Christ.In fact
,God is only one and he has all the powers.He is the creator.and He sent prophets in the world who were human beings.
Islam asks us to love people and respect them.Islam asks us to forgive and b kind even to animals.Islam asks us to behave well with our neighbors.
Islam asks us to love the young ones and respect our elders.
When people discuss Islam and say negative things they forget those Muslims who have suffered and still suffering .They forget how people belonging to other nations and religions have victimized the Muslims.

Would you mind givingme the verse from the bible that it is "Christ's flesh that died" or is it as i believe Christ himself.

Ro 5:6 . For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ (not Christ's flesh) died for the ungodly.
Ro 5:8 ... while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.(not his flesh)
Ro 14:9 For to this end Christ both died( not the flesh), and rose(not body but christ), and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
1C 15:3... how that Christ
(no the flesh)died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Where do u get all these ideas from? Jesus came to give his life ranson for many, not his flesh

Mk 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

He gave his life (in greek "psuche" which is the sou)l to save us from our sins

I already provided three separate ayat from the Koran confirming that Jesus is both the Son and God.

You followers of islam simply don't study the Arabic of your book of faith....you merely are programmed islamic robots...




Infact Quran has told the truth about christ and the changes in the book brought about by human beings in bible.

The authors of the Koran repeatedly state that they merely copied the previous Biblical scriptures and repackaged them for islamic consumption.

The Koran has only praise for its source material.




in fact in Qur'an God says that he is only one,he does not have any son ,he is above such things
.

Nope.

That is what islam has told you...and you fell for the big islamic lie.





Christians changed the teachings of Christ.
No.

Islam did.

1 Peter 3.18

Because even Christ once suffered concerning sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God; indeed being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit;

You dont understand my question.where in the whole bible Holy spirit is called "GOD". the same way Jesus is called "lord and God", and father is called the "god".
I already provided several.

Why don't you address them instead of ignoring them?



Show me the verse in which Jesus Christ is praying to the holy spirit, like the way he is praying to the father.

The Spirit answers prayer.




1.The spirit is not a seperate entity, it is the spirit of God. the mind ot the understanding of God, which is given to Jesus Christ.

Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;



Perhaps you need to read the Gospel accounts of Jesus' baptism in the Greek...as each member of the Trinity has its own article, confirming that each is separate and yet has the very same singular name.

Give up your islamic unitarian worldview.




2.why is not the holy spirit called the father of Jesus Christ, when the bible says:

Mt 1:18 . Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.


Greek 'ek'...literally out from....and?



3.God has given us "HIS"holy spirit

1Th 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

Theos....no mention of the Father.





Now we see another verse which says
1C 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.





Again, Theos....no mention of the Father.






The mind/ understanding of Jesus Christ given by the Father is Holy spirit, which is actually the spirit of the Father himself.

Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

1Pt 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.



No mention of the Father.






4.Tell me this, who does the intercession for us, Jesus Christ or the holy spirit

Ro 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
Ro 8:34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Oh, i thought only Jesus Christ is on the right hand side of God.
The Trinity.

Jesus Christ is the God of the Old Testament. He gave Moses the 10 commandments, He wrestled with Jacob and He was in the Garden of Eden.

As He said in John, He is the I AM in the old testament. He is God the Son, not the father. Yes, He is God.

So you're reasoning that because some places in the Bible state that there is 'ONE'...and ONLY 'ONE', TRUE God, ....whom even Jesus himself called "Father",...that somehow the Bible supports for a "Trinity" dogma? What makes most modern-day "Christians" disregard the fact that God YHWH, or Jehovah (in modern English) wants to be destinguished from all others and stake claim to his rightful position as Sovereign God and Creator of all things. He deserves and demands acknowledgement as Father of the firstborn of all creation, Christ Jesus, and the creator of all other things thru his loyal and begotten Son J.C. All creation, including Christ, ultimately answer to God, the Heavenly Father for our personal choices and the behavior we exhibit in the way we live our lives.
When 'Christians' waste time arguing matters that have already been explained by God, himself and supported by Christ when we was taught on earth, they are kept from understanding or seeing the most important thing of all. That is, learning how to use God's guide, the Bible, to learn what HIS expectations and commands are and how to imitate HIS son, the living example.

Why? Because, The Father has a plan and we might want to be a part of it. Anyone who disregards the importance of studying God's teachings for themselves, and instead, favor charismatic, intellectual human interpretations of how they think God's teachings apply... They will be burdened with worthless religious traditions, and they will not understand how God instructed us to survive the end of the current system of things. How to be of the "meek" who will inherit the earth, as spoken of in Psalms 37:11-12. That's what we should be focused on....BEING the sort of individuals the Bible instructs us to be. NOT ignoring Gods truths and buying into religious confusion about who's who...does 3=1? We have really important things to be learning about God's plan and supporting it by adjusting our personalities to fit in with his Kingdom. Currently, we are under the authority of man lead governments/kingdoms. But that is coming to an end and all we need to do is get Bible educated and develop a personal intimate with God and his Son based on Bible Truth, rather, than religious lies that seem unreasonable to the logical mind and God trained heart.

Well, it looks like this thread has turned into a free for all so, I think I'll just sit this one out unless someone has a direct question for me.
