Is Jesus God?

This was asked numerous times:
Can I please have the answers to my questions?

Finally, we get some answers:

Do you believe a murderer will be allowed to go free if he says he is sorry in a Court of Law?- God forgives only those killers who repent, ABANDON sins to live a righteous life walking with the God Jesus.

Though the question is irrelevant to the OP, the answer here is in error. Now one was, is, or ever will be, forgiven by abandoning sins to live a righteous life. No Scripture to back that claim up, either.

Forgiveness comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 10:39 - “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” No other way.

Such a holy man bye the way converted Yasser Arafat before his death...He was his sniper/a murderer...today he is a HOLY son of God.

Say what??!! You are implying that killing Arafat resulted in him being a "holy son of God". Please provide Scripture to support your theory. Thanks.
 
One Muslim living in New York struggles with understanding the Holy Trinity. He asked: "Is there a tree in one?" My respond: Thank you for the question. First let me say there are many things that are a "Three in one". Time is a "three in one". It expresses itself in (1) past, (2) presence, and (3) future. Matter is a "three in one." Matter embodies (1) solid, (2) liquid, and (3) gas. Atom is a "three in one". It consists of (1) protons, (2) electrons, and (3) neutrons. In fact he United States Government is an example of a "three in one". In a remote sense, the United States Government is a perfect example of the Holy Trinity. It is a one government that has within itself three separate and distinct branches of government: (1) Executive Branch of Government, (2) Legislature Branch of Government, and (3) Judicial Branch of Government.
These three separate and distinct branches of government have one source of influence: the United States Constitution which gives each branch the right to exist and to be active within the United States Government as an equal but separate influence (power) from the other two branches of government.
In other words, President Obama who is head of the Executive Branch of the United States Government has absolutely no power within both the Legislature Branch of the United States Government and the Judicial Branch of the United States Government. Outside of the United States President Obama has a large influence simply because he is the head of the United States' Branch of Government that deals with the relationship between the United States and other countries of the world. But within the United States boarders President Obama has little power — so little is his power that you almost feel sorry for him. His power is only over the people who serve within the Executive Branch of United States Government — the people who enforce the Laws of the United States.
Two months ago I was driving my car on a United States highway. I was speeding. It is against the Laws to drive over the speed limit in certain areas of the United States highways and streets. There are many signs posted on the highway and streets that warn people not to drive over the speed limit in these areas. I saw the signs and I ignored them, because I was in a hurry to get somewhere. A police car drove up behind me and stopped me. The police officer told me that I was breaking the law by speeding on the highway. I apologized and told him that I was in a hurry to get somewhere. He told me to wait in my car. He went back to his police car and brought me a ticket (paper) that cost me $175.00. He told me to take the paper to the courthouse, and to see a judge.
At that point the trinity of the United States Government was at work in my life. The warning signs posted on the highways not to speed came from a separate government within the United States called the "Legislature Branch of Government". The police who stopped me work for a separate government within the United States Government called the "Executive Branch of Government". The judge, who I was to go and stand before, works within a separate government within the United States Government called the "Judicial Branch of Government". While these three separate and distinct branches of government affect my daily life in the United States, no one branch has more power than the other. Every day in the United States it is a political battle as each of these three separate governments continuously checks on the other so that one cannot assume more power than the other.
God and the United States Government have one thing in common — each is a spirit and each exists only in the spirit world. You cannot see God, and you cannot see the United States Government. You cannot touch them either. But you know they do exist because they affect your daily life if you do not obey them within their spheres of influence.
Note: The United States Government is a spirit because it only exists on paper and in the minds of men and women. Similarly God is a Spirit and lives in the minds and hearts of men and women. Demons are also spirits who lives in the spirit world. Jesus encountered a demon who could have spoken as trinity. Jesus asked the demon, "What is your name?" The demon answered, "My name is Legion, because we are many." (Matthew 5:9) The demon spoke as one who has plurality within himself. Only in the spirit world can a "three or more become a one".

Question: "In terms of the trinity how are God and the United States Government similar in the lives of men and women?"
Answer: First we must understand that both God and the United States Government are a "one spirit entity" with plurality within themselves. It is God the father who said, "Thou shall not steal" just as it is the Legislature Branch of the United States Government that said, "Do not speed on the highways." It is God the Holy Spirit who reminds us of our wrongs against God just as it is the Executive Branch of the United States Government (police, law enforcer) who stopped me and told me that I was breaking the law by speeding. It is God the Word/Son who cleans us of my wrongs against God just as it is the Judicial Branch of the Unites States Government that sets me free from speeding on the highways.
Not many American citizens know that their government is a trinity, but each American citizen knows exactly where to go to clear up his crimes against the United States Government. He does not go the Executive Branch of the United States Government; and he does not go to the Legislature Branch of the United States Government. He goes straight to the Judicial Branch of the Unites States Government and stand before a judge in order to clear up his crimes against the United States Government. And when a judge within the Judicial Branch of the Unites States Government sets him free, he is free indeed. In the same way not too many Christians understand the Holy Trinity. But each Christian knows exactly where to go when he has sinned against God. He does not go to the God the Father, and he does not go to God the Holy Spirit. He goes straight to the Cross (God the Word/Son) who cleans him of his wrongs against God. And when God the Word/Son sets him free, he is free indeed.
Today in the United States we go to court, and we stand silently and humbly before a judge in order to hear the outcome of our crime against the Unites States Government. The day will come when we will go to court, and we will stand silently and humbly before a Judge in order to hear the outcome of our sins. At that time the Son of God will be the Judicial Wing of the Holy Trinity. He will be your Judge. Right now He is your Savior.

How can Yasser Arafat be a Holy son of God?
 
Yeah, this sniper of Yasser is a HOLY man today and Yasser died as a son of God forgiven of his sins....God forgave all his crimes/murders he committed in Israel...

Why did God forgive all his crimes, as you claim? And how do you know any of this?

Just thought to share with you what my friend said to Muslims a
Thisbout our God :

By Sazie Johnson

Deuteronomy 6:4 reads, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.”

What does the word “one” mean? The word “one” as used in the Holy Scriptures is not only restricted to mathematical equivalent as in a “onetime occurrence only”, but also a word regarding the relationship and internal composition showing a completed condition as in separation and aloneness from other entities outside itself.

"Let US make man in OUR image".

(Gen 1:26)


WHAT IS ONE?

Deuteronomy 6:4 reads, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.”

The word “one” has been the center of controversy. What exactly does “one” mean? The word “one” has only two definitions. And only one of the two definitions is applicable to God. One is defined as a “mathematical equivalent as in one occurrence” in which something happens only one time. Hence God is not a “one time occurrence,” this definition of “one’ is not applicable to God. The word “one” is also defined as a “single unit”, an “individual”, or an “entire thing, item, or object”. It is this definition of “one” that is applicable to God, for God is a “one unto Himself”.

Please notice that no definition of the word “one” cancels out or eliminates the possibility of elements of division within. In other words, because something is a “one unto itself” does not mean it does not have the possibility of “plurality within” or “multiplicity within”. An example will be water which is a “one unto itself”, but within are elements of division such as hydrogen and oxygen (H2O). Pure Light is a “one unto itself”. It is made of green, red, and yellow lights. The Atom which is the smallest particle of matter has within three sub-atomic particles: Protons, electrons, and neutrons. Time is also a “one unto itself”. Yet it expresses itself in past, present, and future. Therefore; it is partly deceptive to say, “One means one,” because everything that is a “one” or a “one unto itself” has within a sub-division.

This is not actually entirely biblically correct. There are at least two Hebrew words that mean "one," yachid and echad. Yachid means an "absolute unity," that is, God would only be a single, solitary "unit." That would mean the Trinity is false. However, yachid is never used of God, only echad is, and that can refer to, although not necessarily, a compound unity--multiplicity within that one. That is what "one" in English means and it leaves the door open for the Trinity but it neither proves nor disproves it.

Have you had a chance to analyze the Tanakh in Hebrew (the OT) saying about God and His Son and the Holy Spirit in one verse and their names in Hebrew?

So, note there are MANY verses in the OT/or the Tanakh, as you wish, in HEBREW- the original language of the Bible- which say about the SON of God and His FATHER as about SEPARATE Persons....

I usually explain the Tri-UNITY concept of Christianity to Muslims this way: God is a GROUP of THREE Separate and Distinct Persons united and acting in unity.
That is why they have even the same names in Hebrew!!!!
Like if I am Omar then the name of my son will be Omar too....

Note: everything what God created is a group.....God created us in His Image....That is why even people are a group too (body, soul and spirit)...

I was not a Muslim....But I know Islam better than Muslims scholars. lol
 
Bye the way, Sazie explained this concept very well too saying ""one spirit entity" with plurality within themselves".

God is a Group and the Son sits at the right hand of His Father in His Kingdom. Not the Father sits at the right hand of the Father. LOL
