One of the main objections that a Muslim has, is that the Bible is corrupted. So even after all these references, they may not consider it. What’s the best way to discuss this with them with love?
The Koran says that the bible is true and the word of God, they say yes but it has been corrupted. But they also say the word of God cannot be corrupted, so which is it.
What about when Christ said I saw Satan falling from heaven like a shooting star. And another great example is when doubting thomas saw Jesus in the upper room after the resurrection, he fell down called him my Lord and my God !!! Mother of God the son. The tile mother of God isn't about Mary in essence but about Christ himself , pointing to Jesus as God in the flesh. Simple.
But the same Jesus said he is ascending to " my God and your God, my father and your father ". Any god that has a God is not the Almighty God. Reason it
@@bolaelegbede7843but if he’s not God, why didn’t Jesus correct Thomas? Reason that. Also, the fact that in the verse you quoted (john 20:17) Jesus differentiates between “his Father” and “our Father”, and “his God”and “our God” is also telling. Why didn’t he just say our Father and our God, if he is in the same human category as us? Clearly his relationship with God is unique and unlike ours. Jesus humbled and emptied himself and became flesh. So yes he can refer to God as his God when he became human, whilst also being God in his very nature. You can’t just cherry pick verses which might appear, at first, on a surface level to be contradictory and use those against the overwhelming witness of scripture which does indeed testify to Jesus’s deity.
@@bolaelegbede7843lol that is the kind of dismissive reply someone makes when they don’t have any good counter arguments or aren’t genuinely seeking truth. Why even bother commenting on a Christian channel if you don’t believe, and calling our faith “junk”. How does us believing affect you? Mocker. Go and carry on with your day and with your own beliefs if you’re so convinced yourself 🤨👋
The Church of the East did not become Nestorian; it is an apostolic church, meaning that the word was preached to the people of Mesopotamia by the 72 Apostles sent by Christ to preach and teach. When Nestorius declared Mary as "Mother of Christ," his teaching aligned with the Church of the East, as it was based on apostolic teachings about Christology. Contrary to John Mitri's incorrect assertion, the Church of the East believes Christ is one Person with two natures (Kyana) and two "Qnome" (an Aramaic word). Qnome can be translated as substance or hypostasis. Christ is both divine and human, and because of this, He has two natures and two Qnome. The divine nature does not mingle with the human nature, and the divine Qnoma (substance) cannot mingle with the human Qnoma. Regarding salvation, it came through Christ's Human Nature and Qnoma NOT the Divine. This is because Christ did not sin in person (flesh), nature (Kyana), or Qnoma (substance). Therefore, the Church of the East believes that Christ's divine and human attributes are separate and distinct. If they were mingled, salvation would not have been possible. Based on this belief and by default, the Church of the East asserts that Mary is the Mother of Christ (the human nature and Qnoma), not the divine nature and Qnoma.
1. Matthew 1:23 Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name, Immanuel (which means, God with us). In some sense, in the coming of Jesus, God is “with” us. What does this mean? In what sense is God with us? I believe the straightforward understanding of this is that Jesus is God, so when he takes on human flesh and comes to earth God is, in fact, with us. 2. Mark 2:5-7 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” To answer the scribes’ question: No one can forgive all of a person’s sins except God. The reader is left with a decision: Is Jesus blaspheming? Or is Jesus God? Surely, the writer of this Gospel, Mark, is insinuating that Jesus is, in fact, God, rather than a blasphemer! 3. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John begins his Gospel by talking about “the Word” and saying essentially three things about “the Word”: * He existed “in the beginning,” which is a reference to creation (Genesis 1:1). * “The Word” was with God. * “The Word” was God. So, of course, this raises the question: Who could possibly be all three of these things at the same time? It’s an astonishing statement. John 1:14 answers the question: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory.” He is clearly talking about Jesus Christ, and he is referring to the transfiguration (see Luke 9:28-36). 4. John 5:18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. Here is evidence that Jesus himself claimed to be God (or that his enemies misunderstood him). However, the apostle John does not try to correct this misunderstanding. He seems instead to affirm that this is the reason his enemies wanted to kill him (and they were right in this matter - not to kill him, but that he was claiming to be God). 5. John 20:27-29 Then [Jesus] said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me?” There are other situations like this in the New Testament, where for example, a person worships Peter (see Acts 10:25-26), and Peter tells him, “Stand up; I too am a man.” Jesus makes no such correction, but instead affirms the man’s faith (and, in essence) his worship. Clearly, in the Bible, Christian worship is reserved exclusively for God. 6. Philippians 2:5-7 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. The point of Philippians 2 is to encourage Christians to imitate the humility of Christ, who was “in the form of God” but “did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.” In other words, although Jesus is God, he humbled himself by taking on human flesh (wow!), and we (as Christians) should humble ourselves too. 7. Colossians 1:15 [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created… Notice the apostle Paul is saying here that “by [Jesus] all things were created.” This is a pretty astonishing statement to be made about any man! Nothing like this was ever said about Moses or David or Paul. The implication (as we saw in Philippians 2) is that Jesus existed before he was born of the virgin, Mary. How can we explain this? Jesus is God. 8. Colossians 2:9 In [Christ] all the fullness of deity dwells bodily. I don’t know how else to explain this, than to say that the apostle Paul is saying that Jesus is fully divine. Jesus is “the” visible expression of God. 9. 2 Peter 1:1 To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with outs by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. Both the apostle Paul and the apostle Peter refer to Jesus as our “God” and Savior. Pretty straightforward. 10. Hebrews 1:3 [Jesus] is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. This is not the description of any angel or any man, even a superhuman man. This is a description of God. Because Jesus is God.
It is impossible for God to have parts. Parts require dependency on the other parts to exist. God is fully independent and free from any dependancies. Therefore God cannot have parts and Jesus is not God.

You are arguing with yourself on a warped idea. Jesus is not the son of God. Mary is not the mother of God. Help yourself.
