Can God Become A Man

Yes.. The lying scribes Jeremiah warned about. Done it again and again.. Yes.. They repeatedly made their OWN copies independent of the Torah for their OWN ends.... For a price. Written falsities.. Yes... They wrote their interpretations contrary to the teachings of the Torah

This is what we call an intentional falsification.
this support what it was said in the holy Qur'an.

So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allah ,"

Exactly... Thank you for proving the point I have been trying to get you to see. The Quran does NOT claim the Torah was corrupted.... But confirms what we have been saying all this time. Read the words carefully and understand what they say
I think you misunderstand my post

this was a question not a recognition.
the holy Qura'n admits the Torah falsification.

O People of the Scripture, why do you confuse the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?

the holy Qura'n 3 : 71

please re-read carefully the Verses :

Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages and say, "We hear and disobey" and "Hear but be not heard" and "Ra'ina," twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], "We hear and obey" and "Wait for us [to understand]," it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.

the holy Qura'n 4 : 46

So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allah ," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

this is what I call muslims reading things how they wish them to be.. :) not that it matters what the Quran says in support of the Bible.. Because the Bible stands on its own authority. On this point it appears the Quran agrees with the Bible.. Scribes falsified teachings of the Torah with their own hands... In this respect it agrees with Prophet Jeremiah and his warnings on this exact point. That you choose to read it differently is not my problem. Obviously it suits your purpose to believe it means that the term "scripture" here applies to the Torah.. All the better to bolster your belief in the aledged claim of Biblical corruption.

Yes exactly .. As a man, why would you assume differently.

Quote

can you deny the fact that Jesus is God ???

Have you been at this refuting lark for long? Because if so, I would have expected you to at least have a basic concept of how Christians view the nature of God.. Basically ... Christians believe that Jesus was both God and man. He had two natures. He was both divine and human at the same time. This teaching is known as the hypostatic union... And No.. You will not find the words "hypostatic union" mentioned in the Bible nor will you see the word "trinity".. However, that does not mean that both beliefs are supported by scripture. Anyway, hypostatic union means the coming together of two natures in one person. Therefore... since Jesus was a man ... though not only a man... and since he was made under the law and lower than the angels, it is natural to conclude that he would have someone that he would call God. That is God the Father.
You know Christianity teaches that God is a Trinity, God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To say that Jesus Christ is God is almost like saying that he IS the Trinity that would make no sense. I know you are thinking the Trinity makes no sense.. But it's my belief and makes perfect sense. When Christians says that Jesus is God, we really mean that Jesus is divine in nature. Meaning Jesus shares the same divinity with the Father and Holy Spirit. As one God, His Word (Jesus) and His Spirit.

Jeremiah 23 : 36

Credible of what? Not I'm sure what you think it means. Jeremiah 23 deals with the matter of false prophets. Do you naively believe all men and women who claimed to be prophets were genuine prophets? The Lord knows the genuine from the false and The Lord gives mankind guidance to sort the genuine from the false.

I don't believe the Quran says the Scriptures were corrupted, but attempts were made to corrupt the meaning of Scripture as it was in the time of Jeremiah so it is now. IMO, the Quran is an attempt to corrupt the meaning of the Scripture that came before. The Book of Mormon attempted to do the same and many other books attempt the same. There was no divine mandate given to the put the Quran to writing so, how do Muslims know it wasn't speaking of putting the recitation to writing as being the corruption attempted against the Bible or scripture that came before?

As I have mentioned, we Christians don't base our salvation on the OT Scriptures, or the torah which is a common source for Jews and both Christians and Muslims. Besides, Christians don't accept the Quran as the word of God; so, it doesn't matter what it says regarding the Bible. Moreover, logic alone tells you that the Jews wouldn't tell you in Jeremiah 8 they are corrupting Scripture by their lying pens, but they would make it appear perfect and uncorrupted. So it is stupid to say this. By cutting down Scripture, I believe this is the only way Muslims can support Islam and the Quran. What do your think?

As for Jesus, I have mentioned many times that Jesus is all that God is, but He is not all there is to God. This is a mystery that is past finding out just as God is to human understanding. The god of Islam could be understood by finite man but not the God of Christianity!

Blessings to all!

Not applicable.. Seeing as Jesus was considered sinless.. In fact the only sinless being to walk this earth.. The Quran agrees with this.. So are you saying you think the Quran is in error here and Jesus sinned by breaking one of Gods commandments? As a matter of interest do you know what the commandments are?

You seem to be having difficulty letting this subject go. It obviously bothers you some. So.. According to Islam people of the scripture mean all Jews and Christians. Is this christian sects of that time Arians, Nestorian's et al.. And all Jewish sects? That's a pretty wide brush you use to tar us all with. To be honest I have real trouble in believing an omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent God would not distinguish between those "people of the scripture" who followed His message as opposed to just those who did not.. And warned accordingly. Why do you think that is? Maybe my hypothesis is the more accurate one here and this warning you take for wholesale corruption of the Torah is what it looks like the Quran claims it to be... SOME Jews changing SOME scripture for their OWN ends ... For a price.

Correct.. And that's why Christians today worship ONE God.. That is YHWH God of all the Prophets and Jesus as found in the Bible.

No.. This evidence is very credible if you take it in the context it is meant with regards to Jeremiah. It is a warning.. One of many found in the Bible.. Of false prophets and the messages they may bring. I can see you are at a disadvantage when it comes to recognising false prophets as the Quran tells you to listen and obey the prophets I believe it neglects to to tell you that not all prophets are from God, and not all spirits of light are from God.

Well... We do obey Gods commandments ... And we do not corrupt Gods word. As a translation is just that... A translation into another language, the words may differ but make no difference to the core message.. Are you saying the Quran has not been translated into other languages for ease of use for non Arabic speaking muslims?? I believe it has because I have an English translation myself.. So are you guilty of corrupting the words of Allah by such a translation? Or is this double standard reserved for Christians only? I thought you knew the difference between translations and changing the original message? I hope you get my point!

Jesus says in Matthew 5:22

anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

conversely in luke 11 : 40 he says :

Ye fools! Did not He that made that which is without, make that which is within also?

according to luke 11 : 40 and Matthew 5:22 jesus him self will go to hell !



2- the bible teach us that jesus was a big liar :

Matthew 16 :28

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

All those who were listening to Jesus died before seeing the son of man coming in his kingdom !

people of Scripture are not the same :

They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].

the holy Qura'n 3 : 113

And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah and what was revealed to you and what was revealed to them, [being] humbly submissive to Allah . They do not exchange the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in account.

the holy Qura'n 3 : 199

You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah ; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.
And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses.

the holy Qura'n 5 : 82 / 83

And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allah ," but it is not from Allah . And they speak untruth about Allah while they know.

well.. It rather looks like you are. The Quran says ~ "I am only a messenger of thy Lord that I may bestow on thee a faultless son" (Surah 19.19)... Faultless son? From that and others the consensus of opinion is the Quran agrees with the Bible that Jesus was sinless. As for the straw man you introduced into the rest of your reply... It's of no interest.. Seeing as I don't over much care what some of the Jews of the time had to say about Jesus or indeed what prophet Mohammed had to say 600 years later. As if Mary ever needed acquitting of any false accusations against her when she had God Himself on her side! When in fact in reality you besmirch the name of her Son.. Jesus.

You must not make any idols .
Don’t make any statues or pictures of anything up in the sky or of anything on the earthor of anything down in the water.

you must not think Catholicism represents all Christians. The pictures of statues you post I would say look catholic or Eastern Orthodox. Many Christian churches have no such objects. We don't need objects to direct our prayer or either face a particular direction. We see God is omnipresent and hears our prayers wherever we are whatever we wear at whatever time.. Our prayers need to be sincere and from the heart. However.. A statue is NOT an idol. And idol is something that is worshipped in the place of God. A statue or picture is an inanimate object that some people see as a focal point to direct their prayers to God. A bit like the black stone at Mecca. I am sure you would say that muslims who venerate this inanimate object.. Is not worshipping it. Get my point?

Deuteronomy 14 : 8


And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud,it is unclean unto you:
ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.

Not all Christians eat pork.. The law in Deuteronomy was meant for the Jewish people.. However.. We understand that it is not by the law that we are saved. The New Testament refers to "all food is clean to eat". - as in Peter also in Acts we see "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."

Jesus did fulfill the law. He paid the price for all sin for all mankind for all time when he died on the cross. The law demands sin must be paid for. Jesus took care of it, once and for all. His perfect self-offering was accepted and his power as God was shown when he rose again. So no need for Old Testament dietary laws or ceremonies because we now have a direct relationship with God. Writing his law in heart fulfils it even more than just outward appearances ever did.

We are not justified by the Law, the Law only serves to demonstrate how as sinners we need God. Only God provides a righteousness, not from us obeying the law (which we can't 100%), but from Himself that we can trust in Jesus. Trusting in Jesus leads to more obedience to God not less, internal change shows that external rules could never accomplish salvation.
~ For example food doesn't make you unclean, but what comes out of our hearts does....

~ Mark 7
18And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

God deals with us directly...some may have freedom to eat, while others are not convinced they should. If acting in faith both are accepted by God. We are not saved by our works and following rules... only trusting in what Jesus has done for us saves us. We can't work our way to God, so He in His wisdom gave us the gift of salvation through Jesus...if we trust in what he has done for us and accept the free gift of love he has shown us.. It comes down to trust and love.

Quote

I can only answer for myself... A translation is acceptable.. The Bible is not used that much in worship except for lessons... And sermons are usually based on parables of Jesus. We don't need a Bible to pray. I believe Catholics may use Latin but I'm not sure about that.
