We say that Jesus is god because he had many miracles; he was able to raise the dead and treat the ill people. But in this case its more logical to claim that Solomon is also a god because his miracles were more amazing, Solomon was able to master all kinds of creatures, his army included humans, animals, birds, even jinni. He was also able to understand the languages of other creatures..So shall we consider Solomon also as a god?????

We said that if a person doesn't believe in Jesus he will be damned in Hell, because Jesus is the only salvation… so what about theses people who were born and died before Jesus????.... Shall we consider them all disbelievers?....

Did they lived all their lives and died without knowing their God????

Without knowing the only salvation???

Moreover, was it logical that a God can be captured and crucified and killed???

Wasn't he able to defend himself????....

Lets see his words on the cross…Jesus (peace be upon him) cried in agony :

" My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Mark : 15:34

Can any one imagine that these words come out of the mouth of a God??

This is a cry of a helpless man in agony addressed to his creator and lord.

Jesus (PBUH) has never claimed that he is God, but he said that he is a messenger sent by God to guide people .He himself disclaimed Godhood or divinity.

Here are some of his words:

(Why callest thou me god? There is no god non god but the one. That is God"

Mark 10:18

Jesus spoke about God as "My Father and your Father, My God and your God"

These words of Jesus reported in the Bible show that Jesus stood in the same relation to God as any other man. The word " father" here doesn’t have the truly literal meaning but it means that all creatures are in a great need to God the same as the children need their father.

Another point is that, some can believe in the divinity of Jesus because of his miraculous birth as to be born from a woman without a man. Of course it is very miraculous but should we consider Eve also as a god because she was created from a man with no woman which is weirder???

The fact is that God shows humanity his omnipotence in creation : he created Adam without father or mother, and created Eve from his rib, from a man without woman , then created the rest of humanity from both a man and a woman, and it was Jesus who was created from a woman without a man .

Is it reason that God can be killed , can die even if h was raised again???

Jesus (peace be upon him ) said :

"If you were Ibrahim's children , you would do the works of Abrahim. But now you seek to kill me , a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God "

Jhon"8:39, 40"
