How is Jesus Both God and Human?

I think you guys are daft to try to use mere mans wimpy words and logic to blaspheme god. as blaspheme it is to say 'god can't...' and 'god won't...'.

Consider the paradox  :"monosyllabic is not monosyllabic". This has nothing to do with god but has everything to do with the paucity and poverty of mans languages and concepts. The flaw is not in god but in man.

DavidC,

Would you blame God for a faulty human perception (mostly through satanic inferences) or would you believe in Him to be "All Just" and let those unclear phenomenas as they are; rather than speculating about them. Again the same principle "follow what is known and leave out what is based on conjectures" would answer all such questions. Rest Allah knows the best. 

DavidC,

As for your first theme, it reminded me of some verses of Quran 18:55-59, they are:

"[55] And what is there to keep back men from believing, now that guidance has come to them, nor from praying for forgiveness from their Lord, but that (they ask that) the ways of the ancients be repeated with them, or the Wrath be brought to them face to face?

[56] We only send the Messengers to give glad tidings and to give warnings: but the Unbelievers dispute with vain argument, in order therewith to weaken the Truth, and they treat My Signs as a jest, as also the fact that they are warned!

[57] And who doth more wrong than one who is reminded of the Signs of his Lord, but turns away from them, forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent forth? Verily We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this, and over their ears, deafness. If thou callest them to guidance, even then will they never accept guidance.

[58] But your Lord is Most Forgiving, Full of Mercy. If He were to call them (at once) to account for what they have earned, then surely He would have hastened their Punishment: but they have their appointed time, beyond which they will find no refuge.

[59] Such were the populations We destroyed when they committed iniquities; but We fixed an appointed time for their destruction. 

Also, there is a very interesting story in Quran starting at 18:65 about prophet Musa's encounter with a stranger (probably prophet Khizar) that gives some indication of how there are many different ways of looking at the same thing depending upon how much one knows about them. Hopefully you enjoy it.

Regarding your 2nd theme, for muslims death should never be negative experience as its just one step forward to meet God. That is to say when this exam is over (i.e. life on earth), hopefully one might have earned enough "grade" to qualify for the heaven rathter than the hell.
