Christians believe Jesus is the unique, one and only, Son of God, not just because it is written, but because his Father is God and because of the historical fact of his life, death, resurrection and ascension. His own words and the testimony of his closest disciples who walked and talked with him on earth reveal that Jesus is the the Word of God who became man (ie. he is God in the flesh). Christians believe in only One True God, who has revealed Himself to man as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not three gods but One God. There is God, His Word, and His Spirit, and these three are One and the same. At the incarnation, the Word of God became flesh (the son of Mary). He is the only one who has ever had a divine and a human nature. As a man he became the second Adam and as God he will judge the living and the dead. Christians are born-again through faith in the risen Jesus Christ. They are forgiven and accepted by God because of what the Son has done. The gift of God is eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. The gift of God is for all who will receive it by faith. If you truly seek him with all your heart you will find Him. If you have Christ in you, you too with have the hope of glory.

The claim that the earth is flat does not come from the Bible. Please see http://www.geocentricity.com/astronomy_of_bible/flatearth/doesbibleteach.html.

Just because the Bible claims, or implies that Jesus is the son of God doesn’t mean he is. The Bible also claims that planet earth is flat (Galileo was persecuted for claiming otherwise), and that rabbits chew cud, among other claims..

The Hindu Gita claims that Krishna is God. or a part of God. Should we believe simply because its written!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God (Allah) does not share divinity with anyone. May He be Exalted above what Hindus and Christians claim Him to be.

One thing I’ve always been confused about is, for example, the sayings of Jesus on the cross. If Jesus and God are the same, why would there be sayings like,
“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”
“My God, My God, why have you forsaken me”

God is spirit and

Our WORSHIP (prostration of oneself) NIGHT & DAY,

MORNING to EVENING,

THROUGHTOUT OUR LIFETIME and

UNTIL DEATH DO US PART

MUST be IN SPIRIT and IN TRUTH

ONLY to THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD

who LIVED AMONGST US and REVEALED THE MESSIAHSHIP to mankind

and POURED OUT THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.

ONLY JESUS IS PERFECT PURE & SINLESS. MANKIND IS CALLED TO FOLLOW JESUS – THE WORD OF GOD AND SPIRIT OF GOD —-NO OTHER —– AND TO BECOME PURE SUBMITTERS TO THE WILL OF GOD JUST LIKE JESUS AND NO OTHER.

Inorder to walk in RIGHTEOUSNESS like the Messiah
HOW ELSE CAN MANKIND REACH RIGHTEOUSNESS? – IF GOD IS NOT WITH US AND IF HIS OWN SPIRIT IS NOT UPON US AND ANNOINT US TO DO HIS WILL?

BE PERFECT AS MY HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT COZ THOSE WHO KNOW JESUS KNOW GOD, coz JESUS IS THE RESURRECTION & LIFE, coz JESUS IS THE GATE, coz JESUS AND THE FATHER ARE ONE. OTHER THAN JESUS WHO WAS PERFECT AND PURE AND SINLESS AS CONFIRMED BY THE ANGEL OF GOD & BY GOD HIMSELF?

We need His Holy Spirit and THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH & LOVE.
ULTIMATELY LOVE that was poured into the hearts and LOVE that is poured into the hearts of THOSE WHO AKS and IT SHALL BE RECEIVED.

Good post! Jesus is truly the Savior of the world, but only for those those who believe! He is the center, the essence of life, what gives meaning and live to everything else. It is with a personal (spiritual) relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, or Jesus the Messiah, that we come into union with the one who is the very heart of the matter. It is only through a personal relationship with God at the very core of our soul and spirit that we are transformed into His image. Laws, creeds, regulations, codes, commands, etc., are all external and can be ignored, but you cannot ignore God once you have come into a personal relationship with Him through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. May we let the Lord Jesus Christ continue to lead us by the Holy Spirit, draw us closer to the heart of God, and transform us into His likeness! Peace, love, mercy and grace be yours in abundance.

As the centuries passed, we see the mention of Holy Spirit come upon believers in Old Testament times and were guided to proclaim the coming of the Messiah:
-Priests, to offer sacrifices and to teach the Law.
-Prophets, to work miracles and prophesy.
-Judges/Kings, to judge and rule the people.

Genesis 1:2
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters

Numbers 11:16,17
And I will take of the spirit which is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the poeple with you, that yo bear it not yourself alone.

Num. 11:25
“And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unot the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease

Joel 2:28
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions

Luke 1:34,35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee..

Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth

Acts 2:1-4
1When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place
2And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and( t filled the entire house where they were sitting
3And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

So whom did Jesus promise to send to the Apostles WHEN THEY WERE STILL ALIVE?
And the Spirit of God SPEAKS THE TRUTH, coz
JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH & LIFE

We see from birth to the end Jesus is the Messiah, Prophet, King, Priest, etc. though man yet divine.

No other scriptures gives the revelations of the MESSIAH to come and explanation for the Messiah.

Here is where the twist of the story comes in, coz great scholars in history like Zamakhshari & Baidawi admitted that al-Masihu WAS NOT an original Arabic word.
While it is confirmed that there is absolute uncertainty how this title is to be viewed by them and uncertainty in the exact meaning of the word that has come into other scriptures leaves a true fact unanswered.

Why, then, others acknowledge that Jesus was the Messiah, yet give no delineation of what the word Messiah means?
It is a true fact that they do not have any origin or hold any view from all the true inspired scriptures right from the time of Adam until the coming into this world of the PROMISED MESSIAH OF GOD.

On the other hand, it is a true fact that the people from the time of Adam and until the Messiah was revealed to Mankind, THESE PEOPLE WERE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE MESSIAH WOULD BE ‘THEIR SAVIOUR’ IN THE MANIFESTATION OF PROPHETHOOD, PRIESTHOOD AND KINGSHIP, AS DETAILED IN THE HOLY WORDS OF THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD.

(THUS THE MESSIAH WAS RECOGNIZED ONLY BY THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS WHO PROLAIMED HIM ‘’THE CHRIST’’ ‘’THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.’ )

Why give him a unique title and not explain it’s significance?

Men of this world perceive and explain ACCORDING TO THE EYES & MIND OF THIS WORLD, because they are human and thus are called human beings.

Men of God perceive WITH THE EYES OF GOD & THE SPIRIT OF GOD, for God is Spirit and thus Mankind is called to become spiritual beings in the image and likeness of God.

Mark 15:33-39

JESUS EVEN WHILE AT THE CROSS INDEED REVEALED HIMSELF THOUGH TRULY MAN YET TRULY GOD

33 And when the sixth hour [1] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”
37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last.
38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “TRULY THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD.!”

Mark 8:34-38
34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “IF ANYONE WOULD COME AFTER ME, LET HIM DENY HIMSELF AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME.
35 For whoever would save his life [1] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
37 For what can a man give in return for his soul?
38 For WHOEVER IS ASHAMED OF ME and OF MY WORDS in this ADULTEROUS AND SINFUL GENERATION, of him will the Son of Man ALSO BE ASHAMED when he comes IN THE GLORY OF HIS FATHER with the holy angels.”

Mark 15:31-32

31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the CHRIST, THE KING OF ISRAEL, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

Mark 9:2-13
THE TRANSFIGURATION
2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them,
3 AND HIS CLOTHES BECAME RADIANT, INTENSLY WHITE, AS ON ONE ON EARTH COULD BLEACH THEM.
4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.
7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON; LISTEN TO HIM.”
8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

Mark 2:1-12
5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “SON, YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.”
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,
7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS BUT GOD ALONE?”
8 And immediately Jesus, PERCEIVING IN HIS SPIRIT that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts?
(perceived in his spirit because THOUGH MAN he is the spirit of god himself).

Mark 5:1-20
6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him.
7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, JESUS, SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD?
I adjure you by God, do not torment me.”
8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

“Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.

Mark 8:27-30
27 And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “WHO DO PEOPLE SAY I AM?”
28 And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”
29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “YOU ARE THE CHRIST.”

YES, THE MESSIAH IS BEING REVEALED TO MANKIND).

(THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT JESUS IS ASKING PEOPLE EVEN TODAY BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE REJECTED HIM OF WHO HE IS AND WHAT TRULY HE CAME FOR INTO THIS WORLD).
