hello bro . Yes it does
but still .
About Islam : it is the only religon that talk about christians and jesus in a very respected way
I wonder why?
But my important question hasn't been answered yet
is bible god's word?
We are talking about a religon
and its sources must be holy
I do not find Islam to teach about Christians and Jesus in a respectful way compared to Christianity, of course.
There are a vast number of reasons for this. This does not mean I have any bias. I have none.
The faith has nothing to do with "bloodline". The whole point of bloodline is to show that God is in control of all matters and creates each and every single one of us.
As for the impossibility of God becoming flesh as Jews and Muslims are taught: this is all through out Scripture.
God walked in the Garden of Eden. God appeared to Joshua, and Joshua worshipped him as God. God appeared to Abraham with the two witnesses. And Moses and the leaders of Israel ate and drank with the Lord. Further, other prophets, such as Isaiah, were taken up into Heaven and saw God in human form - albeit in the glorified, transfigured form... Daniel saw this. And others.
Jesus is the Way, the Door, God in the flesh... yet, there is more to God then Jesus. Jesus is the conduit, the portal. Jesus is God in the flesh, fully God, yet also fully human -- just as when any prophet or ancestor (such as Adam and Eve) saw God in the flesh... there was much more to Him then what mere humans can see... being bound by time and space as they are.
But, look at Revelation. Jesus has sat down in His Father's throne. God is everywhere and all powerful -- beyond all time and space.
Yet, how can Jesus also be "the prophet like Moses"?
That is the mystery of godliness. The curtain is torn. God, through His Spirit, has brought forth many children of God. There is not any limit, except for the form we have in time and space given to Children of God -- and that limit is by faith.
As Scripture say, "Moses talked with God face to face and not in parable, but in plain speech". That is a far deeper statement of Moses then Moses delivering the people from Israel.
We are literally called to transcend this "mortal coil" in God. To be "above it all" -- above all grudges, above all hatreds, above all slights, above all concepts of "family" and "nationality".
As the Apostles spoke, the Prophets spoke as moved by the Spirit of God. For any man to claim otherwise is to lie and speak from the Devil. The Devil knows better and lies because that is what he does.
Further, they had no understanding of what it was or is they speak of, beyond parable, or "riddle".
The "answer" has nothing to do with flesh. It has to do with God who has created all of Heaven and earth, which is but as a dream or a wrapping around our consciousness -- the whole purpose is for people to see this and break through... and find themselves as children of God.
Tyranny, reliance on our own strength and might -- these things are the exact opposite of what we are called to.
We are called to be "blind" and "deaf" and work by grace, depending on God... not on man, and most surely not on "Law" -- which neither man nor angel ever understood anyway.
