BIBLE;JESUS NOT CRUCIFIED

Quote:It just sounds funny that God's son has to worship his father, and I don't mean no offense. It just sounds funny to think that. God's son who himself is part god worships the other part of God, that is father, sounds like my dish washer.

Response: --- While the general thinking continues to be that Jesus was the second part of a trinity, it is a faulty doctrine that is corrected in the Quran, if anyone takes time to notice. --- Jesus was born on earth, and it was the Word that came down from heaven as in 3:
45 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God;

So here is what it says: --- "The Word came down and indwelt the body of Jesus, who was CALLED the Son of God, but who CALLED Himself the Son of Man, because He was born of flesh and blood like His mother Mary.

Now if we go to another place, we find this in Surah 4:
171 O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One God.

--- See what it says? Jesus was only a Messenger of God,--- And His Word (that came down from heaven) --- and His Spirit. --- so these three, God, His Word and His Spirit are the "Three Manifestations of God from heaven" that are CALLED the heavenly 'trinity' --- But the verse says, "and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One God."

--- You see? --- Jesus is not one of the Three. --- This is why He was on earth and could "Pray to His Father in heaven,--- and notice the next verse in 4:
172 Christ disdaineth nor to serve and worship God, nor do the angels, those nearest (to God): those who disdain His worship and are arrogant, - He will gather them all together unto Himself to (answer).

You see again? Jesus was a Servant on earth to God in heaven, yet while He was on earth He was CALLED the Son of God, ---which He was, because He had no earthly father, did He?

Placid

Melchisedek

Melchizedek the king of Salem (which later became known as Jerusalem) and a high priest of God Most High (cf. Genesis 14:18-20). What makes this rather astonishing is that the author claims that Melchizedek has no beginning or end of life, no parents, and no genealogy. These are attributes and characteristics which belong only to God, which therefore suggests that Melchizedek is actually God. If this is the case then wouldn�t this mean that he is greater than Jesus? If so why aren�t Christians worshiping him? At the very least wouldn�t this imply that the Christian God is a Quadrinity (four Persons in One) as opposed to a Trinity?

At times like this, those who profess God having a begotten son disappear, darn it. It always happens, they disappear like "horns off of a donkey's head" LOL, an old saying from south Asia.
