&lt;span class="messageBody" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:3}"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;Logical demanding questions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;1. When Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – died on the cross. Did he die as a " MAN " or did he die as a " GOD " ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;2. To be " GOD " means freedom from finite forms and from helplessness , and to be " MAN " means the absence of divinity. Can you have the FINITE and INFINITE at the same time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;3. Is God three-in-one and one in three simultaneously or one at a time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;4. If God is one and three simultaneously, then none of the three could be the complete God. Granting that such was the case, then when Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – was on earth, he wasn’t a complete God, nor was the"father in Heaven" a whole God. Doesn’t that contradict what Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – always said a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;bout His God and our God in heaven, his Lord and our Lord? Does that also mean that there was no complete God then, between the claimed crucifixion and the clai...med resurrection?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;5. If God is one and three at a time, then who was the God in heaven when Jesus – peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him – was on earth? Wouldn’t this contradict his many references to a God in Heaven that sent him?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;6. If God is three and one at the same time, who was the God in Heaven within three days between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrection?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;7. Christians say that: "The Father (F) is God, the Son (S) is God, and the Holy Ghost (H) is God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father". In simple arithmetic and terms therefore, if F = G, S = G, and H = G, then it follows that F = S = H, while the second part of the statement suggests that F ¹ S ¹ H (meaning, "not equal"). Isn’t that a contradiction to the Christian dogma of Trinity in itself?See More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.38;"&gt;Answers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;First off let me clarify that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/logic" style="color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;" target="_blank"&gt;logic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the most simple, cut and dry&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;"&gt;definition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;is; reasonable thinking free of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;contradiction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Contradiction; you&amp;nbsp;can&amp;nbsp;say is to claim&amp;nbsp;opposite&amp;nbsp;things about the same thing at the same time in the same way. Logic is not what you&amp;nbsp;personally&amp;nbsp;believe&amp;nbsp;or what makes sense to you, something can make sense to you and be illogical and&amp;nbsp;vise versa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;To address your first&amp;nbsp;question, A true deity is the type of &lt;a href="http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/being" target="_blank"&gt;being&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that is self-existent,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;non-contingent, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;has the&amp;nbsp;attribute&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;beginningless&amp;nbsp;eternal life. For a being to be considered a God it can not have begun at a certain point in history nor could it's existence ever end at any point in history.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:1,&amp;quot;tn&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;K&amp;quot;}" style="background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Death in this context means the end of human life by the spirit being&amp;nbsp;separated&amp;nbsp;from the physical body. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Based on this definition a divine being could not&amp;nbsp;experience&amp;nbsp;death,&amp;nbsp;because&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;a divine being is not made up of a spirit and physical body. If that divine being took upon itself human nature then in that human nature it could experience death. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;doctrine&amp;nbsp;of Incarnation states the divine eternal Word&amp;nbsp;of God who in very being is God(John 1:1) took upon himself an additional nature, that of a man and lived on the earth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;What is not being said for&amp;nbsp;clarifications&amp;nbsp;sake is that the Word transformed into human nature and stopped being fully divine in being. Thus Jesus Christ was a&amp;nbsp;person&amp;nbsp;who had two beings, divine and human. When Jesus died on the cross he died like any other human being dies in&amp;nbsp;regards&amp;nbsp;to his human nature, his divine nature did not cease to exist nor could it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="top-1" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="text John-1-14" id="en-HCSB-26059" style="position: relative;"&gt;&lt;sup class="versenum" style="display: block; font-weight: bold; left: -4.8em; position: absolute; vertical-align: top;"&gt;14&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;As for your&amp;nbsp;second&amp;nbsp;question, I can not be finite and&amp;nbsp;infinite&amp;nbsp;at the same time, nor could you or any other created being. The real&amp;nbsp;question&amp;nbsp;here is could God take upon himself finite human nature and at the same time maintain divine&amp;nbsp;infinite&amp;nbsp;nature? My answer would be yes, in fact I do not think it would be hard or&amp;nbsp;difficult&amp;nbsp;for God to accomplish. God is a being who is so capable and powerful that he can act within nature(or the spiritual world) in supernatural ways that&amp;nbsp;defy&amp;nbsp;the laws of&amp;nbsp;nature&amp;nbsp;and what we consider normal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;To answer your&amp;nbsp;third&amp;nbsp;question, it is clear you do not have a proper understand of the doctrine of the Trinity and this is causing confusion.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The doctrine of the trinity teaches God is one simple unified being(meaning a life form, existence, type of living being, nature). God's one being is a total unity and indivisible, but God's being came be described as having&amp;nbsp;distinguishable&amp;nbsp;aspects and&amp;nbsp;attributes. The Bible teaches God is a personal being, not merely a thing without mind and&amp;nbsp;consciousnesses. Yet the Bible goes one step further in teaching God is not just one mind or&amp;nbsp;center of&amp;nbsp;conscientiousness&amp;nbsp;but three.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The fourth&amp;nbsp;question is rather long and made up of more then one question, let me address that now.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Let me correct any possible misunderstanding you(or the reader) may have, &amp;nbsp;as I stated in&amp;nbsp;question three's answer God is one being and indivisible. &amp;nbsp;What is being said is not that God is three gods in one God, or one God in three gods,&amp;nbsp;in fact&amp;nbsp;such a&amp;nbsp;belief&amp;nbsp;is not the&amp;nbsp;doctrine&amp;nbsp;of the Trinity, that belief is called &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://carm.org/tritheism" style="font-weight: normal;" target="_blank"&gt;Tritheism&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;. Tritheism is considered a heretical teaching in&amp;nbsp;mainstream&amp;nbsp;orthodox&amp;nbsp;Christianity, people&amp;nbsp;who&amp;nbsp;believe&amp;nbsp;such things are not true&amp;nbsp;Christians.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The Trinity does not represent "pieces" of God or parts of God, such a idea violates the doctrine of Divine Simplicity i.e God being one indivisible being without parts. So the first&amp;nbsp;part of your&amp;nbsp;questions is not&amp;nbsp;relevant&amp;nbsp;to the doctrine of the Trinity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;As for the second half of your&amp;nbsp;question&amp;nbsp;concerning how the distinct persons of the Godhead&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;interrelate, before&amp;nbsp;or after the&amp;nbsp;incarnation, let us focus on that from here. When terms like Father and Son are used to describe God this is an attempt to describe the relationship within&amp;nbsp;the Godhead in a way we as human beings could possible comprehend. Ultimately all human&amp;nbsp;language&amp;nbsp;fails to give God's being and nature justice, and it will&amp;nbsp;always&amp;nbsp;be impossible for finite human beings to ever&amp;nbsp;completely&amp;nbsp;understand God fully in this lifetime.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;God is one being who is three&amp;nbsp;persons,&amp;nbsp; being is not person and person is not being. For example God has&amp;nbsp;attributes&amp;nbsp; God is all knowing, all wise, all powerful , most merciful etc. God's&amp;nbsp;attributes&amp;nbsp;are not&amp;nbsp;divisions&amp;nbsp;in God's being, having&amp;nbsp;infinite&amp;nbsp;distinguishable&amp;nbsp;attributes&amp;nbsp;does not change the fact God is one being. All of God's many&amp;nbsp;attributes&amp;nbsp;are only aspects of one&amp;nbsp;unified&amp;nbsp;being. The same principle is being&amp;nbsp;applied&amp;nbsp;to the subject of&amp;nbsp;person-hood, &amp;nbsp;persons&amp;nbsp;are not&amp;nbsp;divisions&amp;nbsp;in God's being but aspects of God's being. The Father is God the Son is God and the Spirit is God, aspects of one being, not third's of God's being. The same way the&amp;nbsp;attributes&amp;nbsp;of omnipotence,&amp;nbsp;omnipresent, and&amp;nbsp;omniscient&amp;nbsp;could not be&amp;nbsp;characterized&amp;nbsp;as thirds of God.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;When God the Son&amp;nbsp;incarnated&amp;nbsp;and took on human nature,&amp;nbsp;in order&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;fulfill&amp;nbsp;his mission and the many&amp;nbsp;prophecies&amp;nbsp;made concerning the Messiah, he willing choose to act from his human&amp;nbsp;nature&amp;nbsp;and subject his divine nature to the Father. Only&amp;nbsp;using&amp;nbsp;his&amp;nbsp;divinity&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;accordance&amp;nbsp;to the Father's will. This is a issue of&amp;nbsp;relation and operation not of being or nature. His willing subjection did not alter his divine being in any manner. After his death on the cross and resurrection(The Glorification) he&amp;nbsp;declared&amp;nbsp;to his disciples that he no longer was acting as a mere humble servant but was king of the&amp;nbsp;universe&amp;nbsp;having all power in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="heading passage-class-0" style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;

The President’s declaration on Tuesday (May 14), which also applies to Yobe and Adamawa States in the country’s troubled North East region, was followed shortly after by the murder of the Secretary in Borno of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev Faye Pama Musa.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Musa, head of REME Assembly in Maiduguri (the Borno State capital) and Chairman of the state’s Pentecostal Fellowship, was reportedly shot at close range by two suspected Boko Haram members in his house, in the presence of his daughter, who pleaded with them to spare her father’s life.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
A few days before, Borno's Governor Kassim Shettima had briefed visiting Senators and military advisers in a confidential security meeting on May 7, and warned them Boko Haram was close to seizing power in the state.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;

Shettima also said: “Underneath the mayhem of Boko Haram, beneath the madness lies the underlying cause, which is extreme poverty and destitution which have permeated all spectrums of our society.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
“Only and until we address some of these issues, believe me, the future is very bleak for all of us as the current crisis is just an appetizer of things to come. Very soon the youths of this country will be chasing us away.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Reuters quoted Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi as saying: "What the governor said was frightening. He informed us there is a possibility that this state will be taken over by Boko Haram ... that they have the ability to do whatever they wanted here. I had thought Boko Haram had been subdued to some extent."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
On May 14, CAN Chairman in the state, Reverend Titus Pona, who confirmed Musa’s death, said the Christian community in the state capital last week received a death threat from an unknown group to kill or kidnap a pastor, but it was dismissed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
“We never thought that the rumour could turn out to be true, and we’d told the Governor that our area was safe,” Pona told reporters in Maiduguri.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
“Of course, there were no killings around this area before and where I am living has also been seen as safe, until they started killing people again. It is very unfortunate that they came to attack an innocent man.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
“Our prayer and hope is that the amnesty declared by the President would help to fish out [those responsible] and bring them to justice for the innocent lives they have taken.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
The Governor promised in a condolence message to CAN that the perpetrators would be brought to justice and that Musa’s family would be provided for.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
The National President of CAN, Ayo Oritsejafor, and Rev Felix Omobude of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, condemned Musa’s murder and called for improved security following Shettima’s admission that Boko Haram were on the verge of seizing control of the state.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Oritsejafor called for the dissolution of the committee created by the federal government to negotiate with Boko Haram and other violent groups in the country, saying “no reasonable agreements can be reached with terrorists”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
Christian organizations and leaders responded almost universally negatively to this idea.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
"Why should they be given amnesty?” said Rev. Joshua Ray Mains, Bauchi State Secretary. “Are we congratulating them for the people they have sent to their early graves, or are we encouraging them to continue with their acts so that other groups can take advantage of the amnesty and continue to disrupt the peace of the country?"&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
However, Bishop Matthew Kukah, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, supported the amnesty, saying in his Easter message it would bring the country closer to a new dawn.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
“To reject amnesty is to place oneself at the same level as these miscreants,” he said. “An offer of amnesty is not the same as a declaration of amnesty. An offer of amnesty brings the penitent to the table as a first step. Amnesty is a process, not a destination. The offer of amnesty will not solve all our problems, but it will bring us closer to a new dawn.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
The declaration of emergency across the three states, and the resulting mass deployment of military has been welcomed by many groups in the country.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0c0c0c; font-family: Arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
However, the Progressive Governors’ Forum had earlier “implored Mr. President to be consistent with the combination of dialogue and mediation which he has already set in motion, and [hold back from] action on the planned declaration of State of Emergency in the affected states, which we believe would be counter-productive”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A mass exodus of Christians is currently underway.&amp;nbsp; Millions of Christians are being displaced from one end of the Islamic world to the other.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id="docs-internal-guid-6c39c519-65ca-8e53-4bb6-50017a84842f"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Recently I engaged in a back and forth with some Muslims and liberals about the issue of "Islamophobia", which is defined as "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;an irrational fear or prejudice towards Islam and Muslims&lt;/i&gt;". The particular reason for the discussion was a picture that allegedly Berry West a county commissioner in Coffee county Tennessee &amp;nbsp;posted on his Facebook page. It was a photo of someone aiming a double barrel shotgun at a camera with the caption underneath &amp;nbsp;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.islamophobiatoday.com/2013/05/01/tenn-lawmakers-facebook-post-frightens-muslims/" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; How to wink at a Muslim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;”. The implication of the caption and photo being, we should react to the recent Jihadist terror attacks in Boston with gun violence toward Muslims. Now that’s what I got out of post, the actual person who posted it has yet to explain why they did it or what they were trying to communicate. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;Let me be clear as I could possible be here, any hatred, unmerited prejudice, or discrimination toward people just because they happen to be Muslim, or because they have brown skin, or because they are from another country is wrong and sinful. Yet at the same time I must make it clear that fear of the religion of Islam, of actual Jihadist's, or anyone who holds to Muhammad's more radical violent teachings is something in a totally different category. Today non-Muslim’s especially Christians are being killed, butchered, wrongfully detained, discriminated against, and having their God given rights violated systematically across the Muslim world. Because many if not most Muslim majority nations are adhering to or tolerating certain teachings of Islam that justify the subjugation of non-Muslim’s, just like Muhammad and his companions did some 1400 years ago. &lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;The fear of anything that in reality is causing harm and could potentially cause you harm is reasonable. To ignore the real threat of Islamic Jihad in order to not offend adherents to Islam is unreasonable. To ignore Islamic Jihadism because some people take vigilance too far and cross over into discrimination is unreasonable. When&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2310038/Martin-Richard-Fathers-heartbreak-death-son-Boston-Marathon-bombings.html" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; 8 year old little boys are being blown to death by IED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;’s while watching marathons, when &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/id/35759877/ns/world_news-africa/t/machete-wielding-rioters-kill-nigeria/" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;entire villages of Christians are being massacred&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;, when &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://gvnet.com/humantrafficking/SaudiArabia.htm" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;women are being enslaved in Arabia and raped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;, when B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2012/03/world/mauritania.slaverys.last.stronghold/index.html" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;lack African's are still being enslaved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;, fearing the ideology behind that is not irrational. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Last but not least the thing that is of utmost importance to this blog, Muslims leaving Islam for salvation in Jesus Christ is still punishable by death according to Shariah law. As long as ex Muslim’s must live with the fear their Muslim relatives, or other vigilante Muslims may kill them for leaving Islam, fear of Islam is reasonable. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.meforum.org/2646/worldwide-trends-in-honor-killings" style="white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank"&gt;majority of honor killings are still being committed by Muslims worldwide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;, ignoring this fact and being politically correct is wrong on so many levels. People fearing Islam and Muslims who take Islam literally is not irrational, its the very human flight or flee reaction anyone with a rational mind would expect. No, government officials posting offensive calls to violence towards Muslims should never be tolerated, but please do not insult our intelligence by trying to use that as a&amp;nbsp;pretext to claim the fear of Islam is racist or bigoted. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;
Fear of Islam is not some &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;imaginary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; boogieman hiding under peoples beds, its a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;illegitimate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; reaction to Islamic doctrines and the Islamic worlds embrace of them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;For anyone unfamiliar with what Muhammad the prophet of Islams prediction about black flags coming out of Khorasan means, let me explain. &amp;nbsp;This has to do with Islamic eschatology or the study of the end times. We especially if you live in the West are use to hearing about the end of the world and people making predictions about when this will occur or how. Books about the end times from a more Christian perspective like "Left behind" and the "Late great planet earth" have been big sellers for years. &amp;nbsp;Yet, what most non-Muslims may not be aware of is Islam has its own doctrines about the end times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;This article is not the place to go into great detail about every aspect of Islamic end times, that would probably take a series of posts. What I will speak about is the hadith(narration) reported to have been spoken by Muhammad to his companions about one of the many events that he believed would happen towards the end of the world. &amp;nbsp;Pay attention to the following quote from a Islamic website about the location of ancient Khorasan:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Khurasan, in Persian, means the “land of the sunrise”, a natural synonym for East. The term was loosely applied to territories of Persia east and north east of Dasht-e-Kavir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;The significance to our time and the Boston bombers is the hadith mentioned earlier, there are many versions of the narration concerning &amp;nbsp;armies of "black flag's". Here is a list of narrations on the subject:&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;“Reported on a chain of transmission on the authority of Kaab "The sign of the Mahdi's appearance will be war banners coming from the west, lead by a man with a disability from "Kinda".&lt;/span&gt;

When he saw the signs of distress on our faces, he stood up on our faces and said: O Allah, do not put them under my care, for I would be too weak to care for them; do not put them in care of themselves, for they would be incapable of that, and do not put them in the care of men, for they would choose the best things for themselves. He then placed his hand on my head and said: Ibn Hawalah, when you see the caliphate has settled in the holy land (i.e., Palestine), earthquakes, sorrows and serious matters will have drawn near and on that day the Last Hour will be nearer to mankind than this hand of mine is to your head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Feiz is a Islamic&amp;nbsp;lecturer&amp;nbsp;based in Australia, he claims to be a Salafi but as anyone should know there are differing strains of Salafiya. This Feiz seems to be from among the "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takfiri" target="_blank"&gt;Takifi's&lt;/a&gt;" a subset of the Salafi or sometimes called &lt;a href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/gulf/wahhabi.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Wahhabi&lt;/a&gt; Islam. A hell-fire(for Jews and Christians) preacher who attracts many of the Muslim youth. Below is a comment from a Muslim on a Muslim discussion board exposing many facts about this Muslim preacher.

We are the most humiliated nation on the face of this earth, there is no doubt. Why? Because martyrdom to us is not appealing, it's not as appealing to us as it was to those ancestors, the great warriors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

We will not attempt to speculate on the two suspects said to be behind the recent tragic Boston marathon bombing(one who was killed last night, the other still on the run as of posting this). Yet a&amp;nbsp;Islamic&amp;nbsp;Imam has decided to speculate and comment about who he feels in behind this and why it&amp;nbsp;happened. &amp;nbsp;The video is from&amp;nbsp;Egyptian&amp;nbsp;TV and is in Arabic, but the speech has been translated into English at the bottom. heads up to &lt;a href="http://www.abnsat.com/" target="_blank"&gt;ABN SAT&lt;/a&gt; for posting this on Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theologian John Piper answers whether Christians and Muslims worship the same god.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this is a excellent answer. Jesus Christ is God manifested into the world, whoever reject him has rejected his Father. The god of Islam is a man manufactured imitation of &lt;a href="http://www.gotquestions.org/YHWH-tetragrammaton.html" target="_blank"&gt;YHWH&lt;/a&gt;, with another imitation law.. the shariah, imitation temple.. the Kaba, and a imitation &lt;a href="http://www.callingmuslims.com/2011/06/did-followers-of-muhammad-take-him-as.html" target="_blank"&gt;Messiah..

To do this we must interpret the Bible in light of five factors: its original languages, its historical/cultural setting, its kinds of literature, the principles of communication and understanding, and our own preunderstandings and presuppositions.&lt;/i&gt;"(1)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"&gt;The average Muslim&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;"&gt;apologist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;or da'ee(one who gives "dawah" or calls to Islam) is starting with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;"&gt;presupposition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;that truth is whatever Allah and his Messenger have said(which is known through the Quran and Sunnah collections mainly). Most of Islam(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;"&gt;at least&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;mainline orthodox)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;"&gt;believes Muhammad&amp;nbsp;taught&amp;nbsp;Jesus was not divine and the Trinity is not true etc. Therefore only mishandling of the Biblical text can occur since the Apologist/da'ee is only trying to confirm Islam's position(Islam's late position on Christ) by any means&amp;nbsp;necessary, he/she has no other option Islamicly. Either the Bible&amp;nbsp;really&amp;nbsp;doesn't say what it says, it has been corrupted or both. Any meaningful attempt to look at authorial intent, context, or&amp;nbsp;original&amp;nbsp;language&amp;nbsp;is nowhere on the radar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;"&gt;Simply put Islam doesn't allow your Imam, Da'ee, or Muslim&amp;nbsp;apologist to&amp;nbsp;interpret&amp;nbsp;the Bible&amp;nbsp;accurately. It's wajib(obligatory) that they have to come to the Bible holding a&amp;nbsp;contradictory&amp;nbsp;predetermined(i.e prejudice) meaning&amp;nbsp;regardless&amp;nbsp;if it's supported by the content of the Bible or not. Whatever rending of the Bible text they attempt, if they even attempt to do so was only a formality until they can get to whats really important... giving &lt;a href="http://www.callingmuslims.com/2012/01/exposing-dawah-art-of-selling-falsehood.html" target="_blank"&gt;dawah&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 32px; text-indent: -48px;"&gt;Howe, Thomas A.

Jesus was in the beginning with God; all things were made through Jesus, and without Jesus was not anything made that were made"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"&gt;Is this logical, rational and scriptural? Without Jesus there was nothing made that was made? How then did God created the heavens and the earth without Jesus? Read Isaiah 44:24 of the Good News Bible: "I am the Lord, your savior. I am the one who created you. I am the LORD, the creator of all things. I alone stretched out the heavens, when I made the earth, no one help me." Also in Genesis 1:1, the bible said; "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (See Isaiah 45:18 also).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can it be said that it was through Jesus that everything was created when God said that "I can of my own self do nothing"? John 5:30. Finally, if Jesus Christ was created through the word of command by God, then it is no exaggeration to call him God's word. But he was not the creative force used by God to create every thing. The only creative force used in creation is the powerful word or command: "Let there be".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JESUS WAS THE WORD MADE FLESH: John 1:14:- "And the word became flesh and dwell among us, full of grace and truth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Genesis 1 verse 3,6,9,11,20,24 and 25, we see how the word: "Let there be" became light, darkness, vegetations, oceans and living creatures. In John 1:14, the word became flesh in person of Jesus Christ and dwelt among us. When God pronounced the word "Let the be Jesus" then Jesus became flesh and was formed in the womb of Mary without a father. The word; "Let there be" can become anything that God wants it to become. The word is also abstract and it is always with God as his creative force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whoever wrote John 1:1-3, must have wrongly conceived Jesus as his God. All Christians who believe Jesus as their God will never do justice to John 1:1-3. Whatever the Christians might say, John 1:1-3 can never be reconciled with other verses of the bible if Jesus Christ is believe to be the subject of discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;Wassalamu alaykum&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

Quran come's to the mumin on the day of judgment in the form of a man and speaks to him apart from Allah ? Allah himself appears before the muminoon as a man who they will not be able to recognize until he shows his shin. Every night Allah descends down into time and space in a body.

On the face of it if you read the&amp;nbsp;verse(alone out of context) it does sound like what is reported about what happened to&amp;nbsp;Muhammad&amp;nbsp;in the cave of Hira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Tafsir Ibn Kathir's entry on Surah Al Alaq verse 1-5:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;
Imam Ahmad recorded that `A'ishah said: The first thing that began happening with the Messenger of Allah from the revelation was dreams that he would see in his sleep that would come true. He would not see any dream except that it would come true just like the (clearness of) the daybreak in the morning. Then seclusion became beloved to him. So, he used to go to the cave of Hira' and devote himself to worship there for a number of nights, and he would bring provisions for that. Then he would return to Khadijah and replenish his provisions for a similar number of nights. This continued until the revelation suddenly came to him while he was in the cave of Hira'. The angel came to him while he was in the cave and said, "Read!'' The Messen- ger of Allah said,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="rtl" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;

&lt;div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;
(I replied: "I am not one who reads.) Then he said, "So he (the angel) seized me and pressed me until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said: `Read!' So I replied: `I am not one who reads.' So, he pressed me a second time until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="rtl" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;
&lt;span class="AyahArabic" style="color: black; font-family: Traditional Arabic; font-size: 40px; height: auto; line-height: 52px; padding: 0px;"&gt;﴿اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ ﴾&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;
(Read in the Name of your Lord who has created.) until he reached the Ayah,&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;
(That which he knew not. )'' So he returned with them (those Ayat) and with his heart trembling until he came (home) to Khadijah, and he said,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="rtl" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;
&lt;span class="AyahArabic" style="color: black; font-family: Traditional Arabic; font-size: 40px; height: auto; line-height: 52px; padding: 0px;"&gt;«زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;Again when looking at Isaiah 29:12 alone without reading the rest of the context you can see how someone could possibly think this has some connection to the story of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11.818181991577148px; line-height: 20.99431800842285px;"&gt;Muhammad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the cave of Hira. The problem is this verse like all the verses in the Bible has a immediate context and a larger context, Muslim and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11.818181991577148px; line-height: 20.99431800842285px;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Imam's and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11.818181991577148px; line-height: 20.99431800842285px;"&gt;apologist for some reason(Dawah?) never consider that when making claims like this.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I think that should be clear, but also look at this commentary on the passage from &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bible-Knowledge-Commentary-Old-Testament/dp/0882078135" target="_blank"&gt;The Bible&amp;nbsp;Knowledge&amp;nbsp;Commentary&lt;/a&gt; authored by&amp;nbsp;prominent&amp;nbsp;bible scholars from &lt;a href="http://www.dts.edu/" target="_blank"&gt;Dallas Theological Seminary&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
" &lt;i&gt;In this section a contrast is drawn between the people’s present spiritual insensitivity and their future spiritual understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;29:9-12&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; The Jerusalemites’ spiritual insensitivity was in itself a judgment from God. The people were told to &lt;b&gt;blind&lt;/b&gt; themselves (v. 9) but &lt;b&gt;the&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Lord&lt;/b&gt; also caused the blindness (v. 10). The fact that &lt;b&gt;the prophets&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;the seers&lt;/b&gt; did not see and understand clearly was part of God’s judgment. They did not understand God’s revelation about His judgment on the Assyrians that Isaiah recorded on &lt;b&gt;a scroll&lt;/b&gt; (vv. 11-12). No one, either people &lt;b&gt;who&lt;/b&gt; could &lt;b&gt;read&lt;/b&gt; or those who couldn’t, could understand this truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;29:13-14&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; The &lt;b&gt;people&lt;/b&gt; of Jerusalem, professing to know God, were formally involved in acts of &lt;b&gt;worship&lt;/b&gt; but they did not worship God from &lt;b&gt;their hearts.&lt;/b&gt; They were more concerned with man-made legalistic &lt;b&gt;rules&lt;/b&gt; than with God’s Law, which promotes mercy, justice, and equity. Because of that, God would judge them; their &lt;b&gt;wisdom&lt;/b&gt; would &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;vanish. &lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Go to those people, let them feed you and give you a home -- we'll see who cares for you'," said Amin." &amp;nbsp;Quote from a &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/12/15/us-maghreb-missionaries-idUSTRE4BE0JL20081215" target="_blank"&gt;Convert to Christ from North Africa&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.1;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;A Christian pastor was recently slaughtered in the Muslim-majority African nation of Tanzania. While butchering Christian minorities is becoming increasingly common in that part of the Muslim world, the context for this latest slaughter is somewhat different than the usual forms of Christian persecution under Islam--such as allegations of "blaspheming" the name of Muslim prophet Muhammad. And yet, as in most forms of modern-day Muslim attacks on Christians, it too fits patterns and precedents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;On February 11, Pastor Mathayo Kachili of the Tanzania Assemblies of God Church was beheaded by Muslims. According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://allafrica.com/stories/201302120099.html"&gt;the report&lt;/a&gt;, a spokesperson from the local police department&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;said conflicts had been boiling for quite a while now in the area where a section of what are believed to be Muslim leaders had demanded immediate closure of butcheries owned by Christians. He said that a group of youths believed to be Muslims assaulted several Christians using sticks and machetes and attacked a butchery owner at Buseresere town. During the confrontations pastor Kachili was beheaded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://elizabethkendal.blogspot.com/2013/02/tanzania-pastor-beheaded-as-muslims.html"&gt;Religious Liberty Monitoring&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;this latest slaying "has its source in a debate presently raging in Tanzania. Apparently it is a 'long-standing tradition' in Tanzania that Muslims have a monopoly on the meat industry. Recently however, Christians in Geita district, Mwanza region--on the southern shores of Lake Victoria--have entered the butchery trade, causing outrage amongst Muslims."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Tensions got to the point that the Minister of State in the President's Office responsible for social relations "categorically directed that the task of slaughtering animals for public consumption should be executed only by Muslims. He said that people of other faiths may slaughter animals if the meat is solely for family/private consumption--but certainly not for sale to, or consumption by, the general public."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;But if they still insist on working in the trade, then they must, according to Karl Lyimo of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.thecitizen.co.tz/magazines/31-business-week/28639-does-religion-have-a-role-in-trade-politics.html"&gt;Citizen&lt;/a&gt;, be "ready, willing, able and glad to follow the Islamic rituals to the letter"--which is tantamount to saying Christians need to convert to Islam if they want to remain in the business.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;An excerpt from Timothy Kellers new commentary on the book of Galatians " &lt;a href="http://www.challies.com/book-reviews/galatians-for-you-by-tim-keller" target="_blank"&gt;Galatians for you&lt;/a&gt; "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Nor is the plumb line for truth our personal experience. We do not judge the Bible by our feelings or convictions; we judge our experiences by the Bible. That means that if an angel literally showed up before a crowd of people and taught that salvation was by good works (or anything except faith alone in Christ alone), you should literally kick the angel out (v 8)! When Paul says: "If or an angel...," he gives a sweeping summery of proper Christian "epistemology" - how we know what is true. " End Quote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any angel that comes and&amp;nbsp;claims&amp;nbsp;Christ did not die on the cross and denies the resurrection is a demon in&amp;nbsp;disguise,&amp;nbsp;Muhammad's&amp;nbsp;natural&amp;nbsp;reaction&amp;nbsp;was to recoil for to the "spirit" that&amp;nbsp;visited&amp;nbsp;him in fear. Encounters with true Angels of God should never make you wan to kill or hurt yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;Al-Tabari, Volume VI, p. 68&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;—He (Muhammad) said: I had been thinking of hurling myself down from a mountain crag, but he appeared to me, as I was thinking about this, and said, “Muhammad, I am Gabriel and you are the Messenger of God.” Then he said, “Recite!” I said, “What shall I recite?” He took me and pressed me three times tightly until I was nearly stifled and was utterly exhausted; then he said: “Recited in the name of your Lord who created,” and I recited it. Then I went to Khadijah and said, “I have been in fear for my life.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;Sahih al-Bukhari 6982&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;— . . . But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Revelation was also paused for a while and the Prophet became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and everytime he went up to the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Jibril would appear before him and say, “O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah’s Messenger in truth”, whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the Revelation used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Jibril would appear before him and say to him what he had said before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;img height="226" src="http://freemarksteyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/3153871928_49f81e6fb0.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;One of the problems I had with Islam as a Muslim was the absence of&amp;nbsp;independent&amp;nbsp;critical thinking among many Muslim I knew and encountered. Many of the&amp;nbsp;questions&amp;nbsp;I had about Islam where not answered or simply asking such&amp;nbsp;questions&amp;nbsp;was frowned&amp;nbsp;upon&amp;nbsp;because&amp;nbsp;as I was told just follow the Quran and Sunnah brother do not say kaf(how).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Islam is a&amp;nbsp;hierarchical&amp;nbsp;religion, you have a group of&amp;nbsp;elites&amp;nbsp;the ulama(Imam's&amp;nbsp;scholars) who are the one's who&amp;nbsp;exercise independent&amp;nbsp;critical thinking and the lay people are expected to make taqleed(blind following). So really Islam does not&amp;nbsp;require&amp;nbsp;you to&amp;nbsp;follow&amp;nbsp;the Quran and Sunnah it requires you to follow them in&amp;nbsp;accordance&amp;nbsp;to what the ulama&amp;nbsp;determine. And even the modern Sunni ulama are not free to perform critical deductive&amp;nbsp;research&amp;nbsp;of Islamic resources freely become the supposed door's of ijtihad(deductive reasoning) have been closed in Islamic&amp;nbsp;scholarship&amp;nbsp;for over one thousand years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;So as a Muslim when you are told Allah is totally&amp;nbsp;transcended&amp;nbsp;and nothing like creation, and then read hadeeth about Allah appearing in the form of a human male, the proper Islamic response is to just&amp;nbsp;accept&amp;nbsp;both ideas as being equally true and not worry about any&amp;nbsp;apparent&amp;nbsp;contradiction. Anyway the ulama&amp;nbsp;probably&amp;nbsp;have a answer to this&amp;nbsp;conundrum&amp;nbsp;but all that is beyond your scope to understand so do not worry about. Even in&amp;nbsp;apologetic&amp;nbsp;based conversations with many Muslims, when contradictions&amp;nbsp;in Islamic sources are brought up the standard&amp;nbsp;reaction&amp;nbsp;is to ignore what is said and change the subject.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;If anyone objects to my&amp;nbsp;commentary&amp;nbsp;then check out this&amp;nbsp;Islamic&amp;nbsp;ruling and what it clearly says about the subject.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"&gt;Ash-Sha'bee Rahimaullah said:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Beware of logical conclusions. By the One Whom soul is in His Hand, if you rely upon Qiyaas you will declare that which is impermissible permissible and that which is permissible impermissible. So whatever is conveyed to you by those who narrate upon the companions hold on to it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Noticed it says "&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #333333;"&gt;Beware of logical conclusions ", thus it's not whether Islam&amp;nbsp;avoids&amp;nbsp;logical&amp;nbsp;contradictions, nor should you expect Islam to be a &lt;a href="http://pleaseconvinceme.com/2012/the-christian-faith-is-an-evidential-faith/" target="_blank"&gt;evidential faith&lt;/a&gt;, its what Islamic sources and authorities&amp;nbsp;say and you submitting to them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

I hold he is both, I use to reject that he was God in man, instead I held he was only a human messenger when I was a Muslim, and I rejected the Trinity as well. After seriously studying the first century evidences concerning Christ, while being logically consistent, I had to change my position, and I now hold to the hypostatic union i.e the belief &amp;nbsp;Jesus had two natures. There is no historical proof anyone during this time held Jesus to be just a man, everyone held him as a man no doubt as well as I, but not even the various Christian cults like Sabellianism, Arianism or Agnostic cults said he was only a man. I hold God is one in being, yet eternally existing as three persons, not three gods or two partners but one God. Also I hold Jesus Christ is the incarnation of the second person of God, not a partner but very God in essence.. God manifested in our world. He shall return riding on the clouds with armies of angels and saints to judge the world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;I will be referencing the earliest known and most attested documents that detail the ministry and creed of Jesus and his disciples, the 1st century New Testament Bible. To assign Lordship, worship or the attributes of God to a creation is blasphemy and the Old Covenant penalty in Israel for that crime was death see &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Leviticus 24:16&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;. Jesus when questioned about the Sabbath by the Jews offered the following apologetic answer in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;John 5:16–18,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; pay close attention to the Jewish reaction:&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;“And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” 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.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;At another time the Jews reacted to Christs teachings by charging him with Blasphemy, see &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;John 10:33:&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;“The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;And then Jesus is convicted of blasphemy after he ascribes the divine characteristics of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Daniel 7:13 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;to himself before the High Priest, who asks him if he is the Messiah the Son of God at the Sanhedrin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Matthew 26:65&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;“Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;The reaction of Jesus Disciples to his teaching was to believe he was God even if that meant death which we will soon see. If Jesus was not God then he deserved death and hell and certainly could not have been a prophet. If he really was God then the Jews disbelieve like the Quran says, but he still was not just a mere human prophet. &lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;Christ is worshipped across the span of his life from his birth, throughout his life, and after his resurrection like in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Matthew 28:17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;. And Christ ascribed Tawheed Ar-Roobuliya, Uloohiyah, and Asma was sifat to himself.&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;The Apostle John was taken up into heaven and saw Christ who’s title is the Lamb being worshiped by the whole creation in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Revelations 5:13-14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;"And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: 'Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!' Then the four living creatures said, 'Amen!' And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;This Jewish Monotheist is declaring Christ has Ruboobiyah i.e Lordship and he recives the Uloohiyah, he receives worship in the heavens. Curiously we see in the Quran in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Surah 3:55&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;:&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;“ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;John one of Jesus followers affirmed Jesus was raised up to Allah’s self, to stand besides his Throne, and even reported him sitting on the throne in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Revelation 7:17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;. Either Jesus is one supernaturally with God the Father or Jesus and his followers were upon shirk, you do not have a third option. &lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;We read Jesus a supposed Muslim prophet declare to his followers who are superior until the day of judgement in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Matthew 25:31- 32&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;: the following &amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;31 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;32 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;The same ascription to the Son of man prophecy in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Daniel 7:13&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; that caused him to be convicted of blasphemy in a Rabbinical court. Yet we see almost the same description being given to Allah in the Quran 600 plus years later in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Surah 2:210&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Will they wait until Allah comes to them in canopies of clouds, with angels (in His train) and the question is (thus) settled? but to Allah do all questions go back (for decision).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;So who is coming on the clouds? Is it Jesus or is it God, or is Jesus the body representation of God? And why would that be strange when Islam tells us Allah has a human form that he appears in? And Allah’s attribute of speech his Word takes on human form independent from Allah? Again either Jesus is God or he is a disbelieving blasphemer, but not just a mere prophet of the God he claims to be. But the copying of Jesus words by Islam being applied to Allah does not stop there, in the same chapter Jesus says in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Matthew 25:35–40:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;35 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; 36 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; 37 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; 38 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; 39 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; 40 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br class="kix-line-break" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Compare Jesus words to what Islam’s prophet put into Allah’s mouth &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;In a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;Hadith Qudsi related in Muslim, also found in the book the 40 hadith Qudsi; saying the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) will say on the Day of Resurrection:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fffff2; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not.
