| Blog #1 on Jesus, God, and Scriptures: Jesus showed humanity the real God. You have to admit that there is much stumbling around in the humanity of the world as to Who is the real God! Well, when Jesus lived, taught, showed His character, died and rose again from the dead, He was in effect saying “Will the real God please step forward.” The Bible and God through the Bible has always admitted there are many gods and demanded allegiance early in history to be the God above all other gods. (Exodus 20) “And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto 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 water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:1-6) While some {to use the words above “them that hate me”} do like to make-up faults in the character of God the Father, the Bible as shown above does admit that God is a jealous God, “ I the LORD thy God am a jealous”; and beyond that on a very positive note at the beginning of this discussion, had you not rather be among among that part of humanity of all time that does not have God visit them for their iniquities, rather to be among “those thousands” that this God, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, shows mercy. Sorry, but it must be said about the problem of Hasan's blog on “The Jesus Muslim Prophet” is that when ones goes beyond with inconsistent one of their prime beliefs that Mary was a Virgin and Jesus her Son, to then declare another of their negative beliefs that Jesus was not the Son of God, then they automatically turn to the wrong god, whatever you call him, because Jesus said and proved to mankind that He is and was the Son of God and furthermore that God was His Father. {Later perhaps we come to the many testimonies of God the Father of Jesus, like when at the baptism of Jesus He said, “This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased”.} Satan, the Bible states, is a liar by character and the father of the lie by practive and influence on humanity, and we can not help to also wonder what all he has done and is doing to keep humanity on his side and the side of the world, to deny, minimize, divert, and further influence against God as the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ and Jesus as the Son of that God the Father. {Hopefully in the course of this post and discussion, some Muslim will tell us what the Koran says, if anything, on Satan; for it would seem for all humanity in the seeking out of false religions or no religion, that when the real God is denied that leaves only Satan. After all, there are only two supernatural beings besides the angels, God the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ and Satan. If one tries to bypass Jesus and the Father of Jesus, he naturally bi-passes the real God in favor of Satan. Many are the teachings that Jesus gave us about God the Father” 1. The starting place was the one Jesus taught that got Him killed by the Jewish relgious leaders and the majority of the Jewish people at Jerusalem when the Roman Pilate wanted to release Him: “I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.” (John 10:30,31) NOTE: This was when He was answering the critical and aggressive relgious leaders called Pharisees and Saducees. It got more personal when He was teaching to His own disciples. 2. Jesus further explained the more than close relationship between Him and the real God . “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life.” (John 6:44-48) NOTE: Would it not be far better to be taught by the real God the Father by come to Jesus. There are so many other things that should be stated from the Bible about the real God; however to make this initial blog short and with a last quote, since Jesus mentioned above how “It is written in the prophets” {and many accept the OT Prophets yet to receive the blessings of faith in Jesus as the Son of God and the real Father}, “And they shall be all {obviously all humanity} taught of God”, it is comelled to end on a quote from one of those Prophets, the Prophet Moses, about Jesus the Prophet Messiah. “ I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” (Deuteronomy 18:18,19) |
