There are many verses in the Holy Gospels where Jesus emphasized that He is also God. Here is just one example, there are many others:
The Gospel of John 14:8 Philip said to him, �Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.� 9 Jesus said to him, �Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, �Show us the Father�? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
Peace be with you!

I would like to emphasize just one more belief. I have noticed many responses from individuals stating their belief that there is no Holy Trinity because there has always just been ONE GOD.
If you take a moment to absorb what is being written by non-Muslims, we are saying the same thing. I fully, with all my heart, know there is just ONE GOD. Where we seem to begin our infamous disconnect is that in that ONE GOD are 3 separate entities. (Father -God, Son-Jesus, Holy Ghost-Spirit), and these three combine to make up ONE GOD, which is the God of Moses and Abraham. So I hope that this will settle the one God versus three Gods, which we do not believe in and never have. I am saddened to see that so many well-intended Muslims still hold the notion that non-Muslims believe in polytheism. That is false.
God's Peace to you!! Edited by AgnesDei - 20 March 2011 at 7:25am |

None Of The Above Verse Are Stateing Yashu'a , Isa , Jesus , Himself Claiming That He Is God Himself . Stop Adding Words To Verse That Are Not There . Doesn't Your Bible Speak Against Those Who Add Words To God Scriptures ? By Doing This Your Saying Your God Makes Mistakes !
The seed of woman < Genesis 3 ; 15 > The caption of Savation < Job 5 ; 13 - 14 > Wonderful < Isaiah 9 ; 6 ; Judge 13 ; 8 > I am that I am < Ex odus 3 ; 14 > The mighty God < Isaiah 9 ; 6 > Emmanuel < Isaiah 7; 14 > The Rose of Sharon lilly of the valley < Song of Solomon 2 ; 1 > Theprince of pace < Isaiah 9- 6 > The Mediator < 1Timothy 2 ; 5 > The helper < Hebrew 13 ; 6> The Rewarder of Faith < Hebrew11 ; 6 > The Branch < Zachariah 6 ; 12 > A Man of sorrows < Isaiah 53 ; 3 > The Bringer of Good Tidings < Isaiah 41 ; 27 > The Chief Cornerstone < Isaiah 28 ; 16 > The Redeemer < Job 19 ; 25 > This is only a small list of the different names that are Attributed to The Messiah Yashua Without Even His Name Being Mentioned . I Repeat The Name '' Yashua / Jesus '' IS NOT FOUND IN ANY OF THESE VERSE . HowEver , You Have Christian Will Undoubtedly Tell You That These Verse Are In Fact Speaking About The Messiah Yashua < NOT > I Again Repeat The Name '' Yashua / Jesus '' IS NOT FOUND IN ANY OF THESE VERSE ..

Nonsense. That is exactly what Jesus is claiming here. Jesus is saying in John 14:9 exactly what John said in John 1:18:
No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
Jesus is "the only begotten God" the member of the Trinity who explains the Father. This is what Jesus means in John 14:9 "He who has seen me has seen the Father." Edited by Egwpisteuw - 22 March 2011 at 5:15am |

Dear Mansoor_ali (and also IssaEl999), (Wonderful backup support, Egwpisteuw and AgnesDei!)
I asked if you weren't agreeing with Egwpisteuw when you posted the comment: "..the picture being painted here is one of a single fork with three prongs..." in that the prongs are definately separate, as you say, though the fork is but one fork? Rather than answer my question, you asked another, �Are you telling me that each separate prong is fork? We do not say that each specific prong of the fork is the fork! Your comment about not believing that each prong of the fork is the fork is more evidence of your belief being identical to the Catholic teachings. The fork is not a perfect representation of �trinity.� It is accurate only in that it clearly shows one fork having three prongs. One cannot say that each prong is a fork, though one can truly say that each of the three persons of the Holy Trinity are indeed fully God. Another analogy can be used to show what is lacking in the fork analogy, but it also has its flaws. One man can be three persons: a father, a son, and a grandfather all at the same time, each person having a different function, yet each being the same man. Another analogy with strengths where the fork and man analogy are week, but also having its own mix of weeknesses is that of water which when it is cold is solid ice, when warm is water, and when hot is steam. Water in all three forms appears and acts different as if not in any way the same material, yet atomically all three are two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen � the same in substance. Doesn�t the Holy Qur�an say that nature reflects something of the truth of the God who created it? The verses in discussion here are the following: "In verse John 10:28-30, talking about his followers as his sheep, he states: "...Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father who gave them me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are One."
In this passage, you assert that Here are some questions which you didn�t answer: Can you show where in John 10:28-30 that the passage states word for word, "My Father, who gave them to me is greater than all of us..."? To this question, you did not respond. This means that you cannot show that the verse does indeed clearly state that all includes Jesus with the word, �us.� You simply say that it does: �All includes everyone even Jesus." Since you can�t prove that the word �all� clearly includes Jesus, then it is clear that your inclusion of Jesus in the meaning of the word, �all,� is simply your own private addition to the meaning of the verses of scripture. Further proof of this is in your answer to my next question: Can you also show that the word "all" does not specifically refer to the first of the two groups which is identified by the words "any man?" The fact here is that you did not answer this question. The reason is because you cannot answer it without admitting that the word �all� only refers to �all men� not including Jesus, as he is connected to the group that is one with God and not with the group that is identified by the words, �all men.� Grammar itself proves that your argument is based on your own private misunderstanding. Or is it a misunderstanding taught you by others who themselves do not understand the meaning of the Holy Bible? Another logical question I had asked... Why would Jesus say "all" to include himself if the context of the passage is in reference to men plucking out of his hand what he had himself gathered to put in it intending to keep? This third question I had asked you also failed to answer. Is it because in the answering, your position might appear to clearly be private inaccurate interpretation? In your response, you wrote, �Trinitarians do not believe Jesus is the Father, so why do you quote it?Are you quoting it to try and show that Jesus is equal to the Father?� Then you answer the question yourself, �Well that isn�t true, since the Gospel of John shows the opposite. I�m going to stop quoting you here because when you say �...that isn�t true,...� because it is not necessary. You are absolutely correct. I am a Trinitarian, a Catholic. I have never been taught that Jesus IS the same person as the Father. In fact, the Catholic Church teaches that the Father and the Son are separate persons, though simultaneously they are one and the same God. This is exactly the same as the prongs of the fork, three separate prongs, but only one fork. You see, we are back to the original example proposed by our Christian brother Egwpisteuw. You are trying to say we are wrong when actually you are agreeing with us.
1-The fact is the Bible shows that the Father is greater than Jesus in essence, the Father is all-knowing and Jesus is not. Now here you have started with a correct statement, that the Father is greater than Jesus, but then you make an assertion that is totally your own private interpretation: �the Father is all-knowing and Jesus is not.� Where in John 10 do you find this assertion? I do not accept your private interpretation as truth.
3-Jesus begs the Father to save him, obviously showing that life and death is controlled by the Father and NOT Jesus. After considering the truth of the Christian faith which you show above that you recognize, adding to it a few minor misunderstandings that you seem to have, you then drawn a mistaken conclusion: �So therefore in conclusion, John 10:30 proves nothing in support of the divinity of Jesus, it does not show equality, since Jesus made it clear that the Father is greater than him, so therefore Jesus is not equal with the Father.� About Biblical Unitarians, I do not accept their teachings as valid. Biblical Unitarianism was invented by personal surmizings 1600+ years after the death of Jesus on the cross. Unitarians do not even believe in any need to use the Holy Bible in their versions of the truth about God, nor do they agree with one another about what the real truth is. So don�t bother to tell me any of their opinions which one or two of them might call a doctrine. I�m not interested in their religious musings or fabricated assertions. You also had said in another previous post in this thread, "If I were to ask you to take your Sunday School attendance sheet and give me the name of the teacher, the secretary and the substitute you would not think for a moment that I was speaking of just one name. It would be clear that I wanted three names, even though I used the word "name" in singular form."
My response is simply this: If you are speaking of three seperate names, then it is poor grammer to write the word name in the singular. Sorry, but this assertion just does not make gramatical sense. It is a poor argument to use in formulating ones personal personal religious beliefs...
So what about the Holy Qur'an and evidence that it is truly speaking of the Holy Trinity as Catholics have understood it for over 2000 years since Jesus taught it to us? Can you show quotes that are from the Holy Qur'an and not some other Islamic volume?

Jack Catholic , I Mean No Disrespect Here And A Few Here Says My Post Are Long . First And For Most It Was The Catholic Church , Were The Ones Who Created / Inserted The Trinity In The First Place Overstand . No One Here Is Side Steping Anything Here , What You Doing Is Adding / Making Up Thing , Suggeating The Verses Your Useing Is Saying This Or That , When It Doesn't . Here The Trick SOME Of The Christian Play .
If you ask any Christian who are these Verse pertaining to they would Answer ( WithOut A Doubt In Their Minds ) . that these Verse are Speaking of The Messiah Yashua , Also Take A LQQk At The Many Titles Which Are Attributed To Him . < Biblical Names Attributed To The Messiah Yashua >
The seed of woman < Genesis 3 ; 15 > The caption of Savation < Job 5 ; 13 - 14 > Wonderful < Isaiah 9 ; 6 ; Judge 13 ; 8 > I am that I am < Ex odus 3 ; 14 > The mighty God < Isaiah 9 ; 6 > Emmanuel < Isaiah 7; 14 > The Rose of Sharon lilly of the valley < Song of Solomon 2 ; 1 > Theprince of pace < Isaiah 9- 6 > The Mediator < 1Timothy 2 ; 5 > The helper < Hebrew 13 ; 6> The Rewarder of Faith < Hebrew11 ; 6 > The Branch < Zachariah 6 ; 12 > A Man of sorrows < Isaiah 53 ; 3 > The Bringer of Good Tidings < Isaiah 41 ; 27 > The Chief Cornerstone < Isaiah 28 ; 16 > The Redeemer < Job 19 ; 25 > This is only a small list of the different names that are Attributed to The Messiah Yashua Without Even His Name Being Mentioned . I Repeat The Name '' Yashua / Jesus '' IS NOT FOUND IN ANY OF THESE VERSE . HowEver , You Have Christian Will Undoubtedly Tell You That These Verse Are In Fact Speaking About The Messiah Yashua I Again Repeat The Name '' Yashua / Jesus '' IS NOT FOUND IN ANY OF THESE VERSE ..
According To The Book Of Revelation It Speaks Against These Thing . Check It Out Ok
Al Injil ( The Evangel , Revelation ) 22 Chapters Of The Prophet / Messiah Jesus 22 ; 18 - 19 [ Revealed 96 A.D. } , And I Quote ; For Surely I Bear Witness To All Who Hear The Words Of This Prophecy In This Scroll . If Anyone Adds Unto These Things , So Allah Will Add Unto Him The Plagues Of The Things Written In This Book , And If Anyone Takes Away From The Words Of The Scroll Of This Prophecy , Allah Will Drop His Share From The Scroll Of Life And From The Holy City , And From What Is Written In This Scroll .
Now Back To The Point Here , Can You Expain What These Are Saying . John 14 ; 2 >> In My Father House Are Many Mansions .>>> Jesus Said In My Father's House , He [ Didsn't Say In My House ] Would It Have Made Sense To Say In My House [ If He Was God ? ]
Luke 2; 49 >> That I Must Be About My Father's Business '>> If Jesus Was God Why Did He Say I Must Be Of My Fathers Business , He Indicated . [ The Distinction Between Him And His Father .
Mark 15 ; 34 >> Jesus cried out with a loud voice My God , My God Why have thou Forsaken Me . <<< If Jesus was God who could he be praying to if he is the only God , and to cry is a human Weakness
Mathew 4; 1 >>Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil << If Jesus was God how could the devil Possibly be able to tempt him without him knowing >> And What Could The Devil Possibly Offer The Creator Of Everything .
Luke 14 ; 26 >> If anyman come to me , and hate not his Father And Mother And Wife And Chrildren And Brethren And Sister , Yea And His Own Life Also , He Cannot Be My Disciple . <<< If Jesus was God and he so loved the world why would you have to hate your family And even yourself , when it say in Leviticus 19 ; 1 That Hatred Is A Sin
Bottom Line Here This .
There Is No Way To Have A Trinity Without First Separating Each Of The Three Things Indivdually To Declare Then A Trinity . By That I Mean , You Have To First Establish That There Is A Father One Thing And A Son Another Thing And A Holy Ghost The Thrid Thing , In order For These Things To Totally Mix And Become One Thing . They Would Have To Start Off Equal In Rank , Quantity . Space , Density , Authority , Or Existence . In Admitting That The Son Came From The Father , Time Make The Difference , The Father Would Have To Had Been First , Before The Son . This Would Make Them Unequal And Incapable Of Becoming A Balanced Triad . No It Did Not Mean That When It Said God The Father ,,, God The Son , And God The Holy Ghost = One God .. Because Three Cannot Go Into One .
Like I Said Above The Catholic Church Created / Inserted The Trinity . I Have Been Explaing This In -Part In The Above Post's . I Say In Part Because A Few Here Say My Post Are To Long , But Everyone Here Know That Just Another Excues To Side Step It . Right Jack Catholic

Egwpisteuw The More I Read Your Post I See You Know Nothing About Your Bible / Why You Make Up Thing , That Are Not In Your Bible , You Also Make Claim That ( No One Has Seen God At Any Time '' Yes '' )
Your Wromg Again , According To El's Holy Torah Second Scroll Of The Law To The Israelites Exodus Revealed In The Year 1512 B.C.E. In Aramic Chapter 33 ; 11 , And I Quote ; And A ( Yahuwa ) < Dawbar > '' Spoke '' To Moses < Fawbeem > '' Face '' To < Fawbeem > '' Face '' , As A < Eesh > '' Male '' Living Being < Dawbar > '' Speaks '' To His < Rayah > Friend . And He Returned Again To The Camp ; But His < Sharath > '' Servant '' Of The People Joshua , The Son Of Nun '' To Resprout '' , A Young Boy Did Not Depart The Midst Of The < Ohel > '' Tabernacle '' .
Another Trick SOME Christian Use . John 14 ; 9 , And I Quote ; Jesus Said Unto Him , Have I Been So Long ( Time ) With You , And Yet Hast Thou Not Known Me , Philip ? He That Hath Seen Me Hath Seen The Father ; And How Sayest Thou Then , Show Us The Father ?
The Above Verse Is Written In Red , And Some Christian Minister / Pastors / Teacher Etc Say It Mean The Blood Of Christ / Jesus Is Talking This Is Another Trick To Make Christian Believe It Saying Something It Not . Meaning In The Above Post Yashu'a , Isa , Jesus ( Is -Not Calling Himself God ) . Being Christians Are Not Allow To Question Their Christian Minister / Pastors / Teacher Etc Because Of Being Call The Devil / Satan Etc And Kick Out Of Their House Of Worship And Only Believe / Accept What They're Told ,
No Man's Body Can Contain God . Now If You Mean That He Has The Essence Of His Father In Him , Then All Men Are God's Sons And Daughters , Read Genesis 2 ; 7 When God Breathe Into Man The Breath Of Life ; '' And The Lord God Formed Man From The Dust Of The Ground , And Breathed Into His Nostrile The Breath Of Life ; And Man Became A Living Soul ,
However , Getting Back To The Point , Whether He Incarnated Or Came Himself , There Still Wouldn't Be Any Need For Him To Pray Or Ask For Assistance From Anyway If He Was God , The Creator . Can't You See That ? Not Only Would He Not Need To Pray , He Would Have No Desire To Eat Meat ( Luke 24 ; 41 ) , Beg That Death Passes Him ( Matthew 26 ; 39 ) . Feared And Run For His Life ( John 18 ; 3 ) Which Means That '' God '' Has To Run From His Creations . It Seems Like You Totally Ignored All Of These Scriptures And Found One That Sound Good To You , And Built A Whole Doctrine From It .
Another Quality That Yashu'a Didn't Not Possess According To Roman 13 ; 1 And 2Corinthian 1 ; 23 Is The Power To Assign The Souls The Positions In The Hereafter . According To The Author Of These 2 Books Which Was Paul , Only The Heavenly Father Possess Such Power . Exalting Yashu'a Beyond The Truth Is Shown To Be A Form Of Idolatry .
Once Again In Matthew 7 ; 21 , Yashu'a Tells People To Do The Will Of The Father Matthew 7 ; 21 And I Quote ; Not Every One That Saith Unto Me , Lord , Lord , Shall Enter Into The Kingdom Of Heaven , But He That Doeth The Will Of My Father Which Is Heaven .
In Both Luke 4 ; 8 And Matthew 4 ; 10 , We Come Across An Incident That Clearly Contradicts The Concept Of Yashu'a Claiming Absolute Divinity . According To These Two References , Matthew 27 ; 46 And Mark 15 ; 34 . Yashu'a Was Put On The Cross Left To Die . Then According To Those Who Believe The Crucifixion Story , At That Time Yashu'a Cried In A Loud Voice . Matthew 27 ; 46 , And I Quote ; And About The Ninth Hour Yashu'a Cried With A Loud Voice , Saying , Eli , Eli , Lama SabacthanI ? That Is To Say , My God . My God , Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me ?
Now Read Mark 15 ; 34 , And I Quote ; And At The Ninth Hour Yashu'a Cried With A Loud Voice , Saying Eloi , Eloi . Lama Sabachthani ? Which Is Being Interpreted . My God . My God , Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me ?
If Yashu'a Was God He Would Not Have To Say Any Of These Things In The First Place . How Could You Possibly Forsake Your Ownself ? If He Was God Or Eli As It Is Used In This Quote , He Would Not Need Consent From Anyone . Overstand . This Could Not Possibly Be The Words Of A Person Who Saw Himself As The Controller Of All Life And Death Because He Cried Out
'' My God '' ... It Simply Isn't Logical . Yashu'a Never Encouraged Anyone To Worship Him . Instead , He Taught Others To Worship His Father As I Have Just Shown You By Using The Scriptures .

IssaEl999 you suffer from the same disease as many Muslims, you throw in "everything but the kitchen sink" in your posts. Please make you points briefly and succintly with the goal of clarification not obfuscation.
First, the Torah was revealed in Hebrew not Aramaic--closely related languages but different nonetheless.
Second in John 1:18, the word for seen in the Greek is ὁράω (horao) which can mean not only
1. to see with the eyes
but also
2. to see with the mind (i.e. spiritually see), i.e. perceive (with inward spiritual perception).
That it is this second meaning that is in view in John 1:18 is clear from the use of the word ἐξηγέομαι (exegeomai) in the second part of the verse. ἐξηγέομαι (exegeomai) means to declare, unfold, explain, draw out, it was specifically used in Greek "of the interpretation of things sacred and divine, oracles, dreams, etc."
Thus John 1:18 means that No man has ever perceived, understood, or come to know God expect through the Only Begotten God, who is the second person of the Trinity, God the Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. Thus John 14:9 makes perfect sense:
Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father '?
The word for seen here is also ὁράω (horao). Thus again one perceives, understands, comes to know the Father through the Son, Jesus Christ. Edited by Egwpisteuw - 26 March 2011 at 8:28am |
