Hello Mahdi

Yes. Jesus was a man. But as a man Gods fullness grew in him to the point at his crucifixion and resurrection he had Gods complete fullness.

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Luke 2:52

 

There are many other things Jesus said in the Injil that confirm all of God within him. For example �

 

John 8:24 - �Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I AM He, you will die in your sins.�

 

John 8:58 - Then Jesus said to them, �Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.�

 

John 10:30-33 - Jesus answered them, �I and My Father are one.� Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, �Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?� The Jews answered Him, saying, �For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.�

 

John 14:6-7 - Jesus said to him, �I AM the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.�

 

John 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said to Him, �My Lord and my God!�

 

Colossians  1:19. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him.

 

 

Also consider in Matthew. 4:10 that Jesus said to worship God only. But yet Jesus is worshipped and He receives worship. For example �

 

4.Matt. 14:33 - "And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "You are certainly God�s Son!"

 

5.Matt. 28:9 - "And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them.  And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him."

 

6.John 9:35-38 - "Jesus heard that they had put him out; and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"  36 He answered and said, "And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"  37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you."  38 And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him."

 

7.Heb. 1:6 - "And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, 'And let all the angels of God worship Him.'"

 

 

What are human beings? Just lumps of meat? We are divine. You also have God within you and can become one with God.

 

The Jews of Jesus day also criticized him for claiming to be God and man.

If you read John 10:34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'?

 

Jesus is quoting the Prophet King David from Psalm82.6

 

"I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'

No. While humans are like Gods they are not God.

Jesus Christ The Messiah was unique. He was the only begotten one of God. Meaning he was the only one that was the radiance of God.

1. what does begotten mean?
2. then do not use the word God loosely. we are either Gods or we are not. choose one.

I don't find the creation of Jesus unique. If you want to compare, the creation of Adam was more unique.

Indeed Allah Our Creator is The Greatest. Allahuakbar!
