Why Do Muslims Expect Jesus To Play God While On Earth As A Prophet? Have They Not Studied The Koran Well?
Posted by IT CommentatorSep 25
Koran 6:9 says, “Had we appointed an Angel our messenger We ASSUREDLY had made him LIKE A MAN SO THAT HE MIGHT SPEAK TO (associate with) MEN…”
This means that even in Islam Allah has made it clear that if a non-human being is sent as a prophet or an apostle of God to real human beings, he would have to assume human characteristics in order to enable the real human being emulate him.
Unfortunately, Muslims are ignorant (or pretend to be ignorant) of this simple strategy of communication especially with regards to Christ.
The Holy Bible has the like of the Koranic verse quoted above:
(1) Heb. 2:16, “For surely it is NOT ANGELS that he (Jesus) helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17 FOR THIS REASON HE (GOD) HAD TO MAKE HIM (JESUS) LIKE HIS BROTHERS IN EVERY WAY in order that……” (Compare Qur’an 6:9)
(2) Phil. 2:6, “Who (Jesus) being in very nature God, did NOT consider equality with God something to grasp, 7 But made himself NOTHING, taking the very nature of a SERVANT, being made in human likeness 8, and found in appearance as a MAN, he HUMBLED himself and became OBEDIENT to the death, even death in the cross”
(3) Rom. 8:3, “(Jesus)….in the LIKENESS OF A SINFUL MAN……….”
So, in the light of these verses, it should be clear that Jesus’ humanized acts did not mean that he was actually a human being (John 8:23) but were the divinely designs that were to make Jesus not unnecessarily scare the humans but, rather be their SOURCE OF INSPIRATIONS.
In other words, if Jesus were to act God-the-father again even when haven purposely transformed into a man, the transformation would logically be nonsense.
Perhaps due to ignorant (or convenient disregard) of the Koran 6:9, Muslims often cite John 5:30-31; Mark 13:32-33 and John 1428 etc as disproofs of Christ’s divinity. But, logically, these verses, rather than disprove Jesus’ divinity, expressed the anticipated and expected demonstrations of the character that was Jesus-in-exemplary-typical-human-nature and , therefore , in accordance with God’s programme as stated in the Qur’an 6:9 and:-
They are brainwashed into not believing the Trinity.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the FATHER except through me”.

The Quran is talking about angels sent down to Earth. Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, not any divine being.
Jesus’s birth is talked about more in the Quran than the Bible, it also devotes a whole chapter to the Virgin Mary as well.
It’s simple, we don’t that’s why we believe he’s not god. And thanks for calling us ignorant, look who’s too ignorant to read the terms of service.
it says had we appointed an angel…..
it does not say anything about jesus
FAILED attempt! That verse has nothing to do with Jesus, and it is obvious you never studied the Quran because it says this:
“Say not Trinity.. …Allah is only one God” Surah 4:171
“They have truly disbelieved those who say God is one of a trinity” Surah 5:73
“Say not three!…” 4:171 [1]
“They have truly disbelieved those who say: Lo Allah is a third of three” 5:73
These stae clearly that the trinity is false according to Muslims.
thanks for asking about islam.i think before answering your question we need to know about verse 7 in chapter 3
here is the context
003.001
Alif, Lam, Meem.
003.002
Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence.
003.003
He has sent down upon you, [O Mu?ammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.
003.004
Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Qur’an. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah will have a severe punishment, and Allah is exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution.
003.005
Indeed, from Allah nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven.
003.006
It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
003.007
It is He who has sent down to you, [O Mu?ammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise – they are the foundation of the Book – and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah . But those firm in knowledge say, “We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord.” And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
now answering you Question about the divinity of Jesus in the light of Quran
005.116
And [beware the Day] when GOD will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides GOD ?’” He will say, “Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
005.117
I said not to them except what You commanded me – to worship GOD ,my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
Deuteronomy, chapter 5
7: Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8: Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deuteronomy, chapter 6
4: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Mark, chapter 12
29: And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
005.072
They have certainly disbelieved who say, ” Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary” while the Messiah has said, “O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord.” Indeed, he who associates others with Allah – Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
005.073
They have certainly disbelieved who say, ” Allah is the third of three.” And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
005.074
So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
005.075
The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.
005.076
Say, “Do you worship besides Allah that which holds for you no [power of] harm or benefit while it is Allah who is the Hearing, the Knowing?”
005.077
Say, “O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way.”
i ask Allah to guide you ,me and all people
amen
This verse has nothing to do with Jesus. You need to look at the verses that come before it to understand what is being talked about. Here Allah is talking about the reactions of disbelievers. He first says that if He had send something written down to Muhammad SAW, disbelievers would have called it magic but won’t have believed it. And than he talks about them being confused and says that if he had send down angels in their own form, it would have caused more confusions for the people, so that is why he is sending the angels down in the same form as the people, so to not create confusion. And if you look at the next verse, 6:10, it says that many prophets had come before you to whom angels were send in their forms and they were mocked.
So all these verses are talking about why Muhammad SAW was send messages by angels in the form of people so that you and others will not be confused and fearful.
Buddy, anytime a verse from Quran or Bible is read, make sure you read the above verses because that helps to understand the context of the verses. It is important to read the whole message before you can understand what is being said.
Have they not studied the Koran well? probably not if they have not yet exploded
