Streams Of Truth

Sunnih muslim scholars through history  have taught that the true followers of Jesus believed he was only a man; just a prophet; not divine at all. They also teach that later a dissident  group rose teaching Jesus was divine. Some of those scholars assert that Paul of Tarsus was the one who misguided the large majority.  Some of these Muslim scholars taught the followers of Jesus had disputes all along about his deity.  Those scholars argue this is evident by the many theological controversies which persisted during the first three or four centuries of the Christian era. They argue that the true followers of Jesus remained in the shadows until the arrival of the Qur’an through the prophet Muhammad.   History evidence plays a decisive role on supporting or disproving the claims of the Qur'an, at least in this case. However, one would have to challenge the claim that the Qur'an is the word of God if it is misaligned with historical facts. My question to Mu...

The traditional account of how the written Qur'an has been preserved tells us that today's 1924 Cairo edition of the Qur'an is word by word the same as the ones revealed to the prophet of Islam. This account tells us basically that the following steps occurred: 1. The prophet of Islam received the messages from the angel Gabriel. Each word is purely the words coming from God. 2. The revelations came through 2 decades. Muhammad would have at least one scribe to write the revelation. This was done in parchments, stones and other means. This revelations came in 7 different readings to allow people with different dialect pronouncing them. 3. The scripts were not compiled in Muhammad's time into a single codex, because the revelations kept coming till not too long before his passing. 4. During the first Caliphate, Abu Bakr ordered to compile the writings into a single codex. This was because even though there were multiple companions who had memorized the revelations, many o...

John Chapter 3 Tells us about the time when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, a Pharisee member of the Sanhedrin. Interestingly is reported that he told Jesus:     “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jon 3:2 NIV   Jesus explained several important things related to how to receive eternal life. Nicodemus was apparently impaired. He struggled to understand Jesus, even though he was a versed man in the faith of his forefathers. Jesus decides to tell him an analogy:   13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son i...

Either something we say or something we do demonstrates who we are. Perhaps you have hear this Argument. Jesus never said explicitly, I am God, worship me.
