@deep7100 If Allah (swt) can be seen than he is not god because Allah is formless.If Jesus is god than god is man.You know that man is very frai how ever powerful he is.How can a figure like man can create this universe.

Jesus was not ready to die at the stake.Why didnt he escape himself if he is god.At least Ismail the son of Abraham was courages enough to allow himself to be the sacrifical lamb

how do you know allah is god? have you seen him? do you know anyone who seen him? because i know someone who seen him, Jesus christ. If you know who's jesus christ then you know who god is. mohammed never seened allah but jesus seen god, and the god that jesus spoke about is his father and not allah because allah as muslims claim doesnt have a son.

U IDIOTS GOD IS ALLAH OK THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND MOHHAMED IS HIS PROPHET SO DONT SAY JESUS IS GOD A MAN CANT BE GOD BECAUSE IS NOT A MAN AND DONT GIVE THE BULLSHIT THAT GOD AND JESUS IS ONE JESUS SAID THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD HE DIDNT SAY THERE IS ONE GOD AND ME

@supasye when god was working on the creation, it says and the spirit of god moved over the waters n he said let there be light. so i would like to ask you who was moving over the waters because it doesnt say god himself but the spirit of god? so would you say that was god or not? n about prayer, didnt jesus your prophet say whatever you ask for in my name shall be given unto you. so i guess that means you have to pray through jesus so that da father can answer your prayers.

[deep7100]

@supasye it doesnt matter what language he spoke because it doesnt change the fact that he still called god his own father in hebrew n aramaic. n if u believe jesus is a prophet then you have to believe everything he said is correct n the truth. when he said, "unless you believe i am he, you will die in your sins." this is 1 of the most confirming statements he made concerning his divinity n godhood. you guys always make the mistake of separating jesus from da father. so i will ask u this then,

[supasye]

@deep7100 actually jesus would have never said god or father because he didnt speak english. god back then would have been called something close to allah, probably illah according to the language they spoke in jesus area at that time. the god that muslims talk about according to muslims, is the same god that jesus talks about because jesus is also a very important figure in islam. christians many times prey through jesus to get to god, mslms prey directly to god. which 1 makes more sense?

[Jesusmetalhead]

@deep7100 Allah is the arabic term for God. Arab Christians also refer to God as Allah and Jesus as Allah.

Messiah prophecy - Isaiah 53:1-3 "Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not." BibleGateway (dot) com
