RE: Islam vs. Christianity: Did Christians Deviate From The True Gospel?
Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father(God). How can you say, 'Show us the Father(God)'? ~John 14:9
Which means what? That Jesus is the Father? No. Jesus is the image of God and God's presence was indwelling within him.
An image is a representation of a person or thing, not the thing itself. This basic English negates Jesus from being God. If Jesus is the image of God then he cannot be God and worshiping him as God is to worship an image of God in His place, which is idolatry.
If they could not see the Father in Jesus, through his nature, works, and words, they weren't looking. That is the point of Jesus's words. It's very simple.
"Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him." ~John 5:22-23
Yes, you can see that the Father is God alone. He alone has the power to give to His son. The Son does nothing of his own, but is entrusted with authority and is sent by God.
That ALL may honor the Son JUST AS they honor the Father...
I don't see anything wrong with that. Though in your view it makes little sense that one God had to entrust the other God with judgement so that men would honor him. Wouldn't he be worthy of honor regardless? You are missing the simplicity of the Bible to cling to a lie, even a strong delusion perhaps?
Knowledge of basic English negates Jesus from being God. The trinity is a mystery because it's not in the Scriptures and it doesn't make sense. At best you worship falsely and at worst you worship a false god and I am trying to wake you up and every other person reading.
Why is it so difficult to accept the truth as Jesus, the Apostles, and the prophets of old taught it?
