Both the Jews and the Muslims DENY that Jesus is the SON of Almighty God who ALONE is the ONLY TRUE God. And to me, the main reason that the Muslims and the Jews deny that Jesus is the Son of God is because Trinitarian Christians WRONGLY teach that Jesus pre-existed in the eternity past as God the Son, the second person of a so-called Trinity Godhead. But that is NOT what the Bible ITSELF teaches us. But rather, the Bible teaches us in Luke 3:23-38 that Adam was a SON of God long before Jesus BECAME the HUMAN Son of God being BORN of a woman. That is what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in simplicity. So then, we ALL are sons of God. For you see, every human ever born is an offspring of Adam, according to Acts 17:26. And according to Acts 17:29, we are ALL the OFFSPRING of Almighty God our Creator, the ONE Godhead in ONE person. There is no Trinity Godhead taught in the Bible itself. The three persons in one God is a MAN-MADE church doctrine that took three to five centuries to basically be forced upon Christians with the threat of being killed for denying the doctrine of the Trinity. So the doctrine of the Trinity is simply man-made church TRADITION that should be rejected by all Christians.
Please read Acts 17:22-33.
“Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, You, men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. 23. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom, therefore, you ignorantly worship. Him declare I unto you. (In other words, if you do not KNOW the TRUE God, then you are worshiping Him in ignorance and NOT in the WAY that the only true God desires you to worship Him. And the Apostle Paul is teaching us who the only true God is in the following verses of Scripture. I will highlight all of the words referring to the only true God in orange and I will highlight all of the words referring to Jesus is yellow) 24. God that made the world and alL things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells NOT in temples made with hands; 25. Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all things; 26, And (That HE) has made of ONE blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He is not far from every one of us: 28. For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His OFFSPRING. 29. Forasmuch then, as we are the OFFSPRING of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. (The word “Godhead” simply means DEITY or the HEAD Deity. Also, the word “Godhead” is in the singular which means that there is ONE person in the ONE head God who alone is the Father. In other words, Jesus is NOT a part of the Godhead. There is no Trinity Godhead taught in the Bible) 30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to REPENT: 31. Because He has appointed a day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that MAN, whom He has ORDAINED; whereof He has given assurance unto all men, in that He has raised him from the dead. 32. And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again about this matter. 33. So Paul departed from among them.”
Now, all Muslims believe that they will be resurrected from the dead, but yet, they do NOT believe that God raised His HUMAN Son from the dead and GAVE the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be having eternal life in himself even as his God and Father has always possessed immortality in Himself as the SOURCE of all life, both mortal life and eternal life. So what ASSURANCE can a Muslim or a Jew possibly have of being resurrected from the dead without faith in Jesus being resurrected from the dead FIRST? We will cover Jesus being the RESURRECTION and the LIFE in part 3 of this series of studies on the TRUE Jesus, according to the Bible ITSELF and NOT according to man-made church TRADITION. But for now, I want all Muslims and all Jews to know that God PROPHESIED that a CHILD would be BORN first, and THEN that HUMAN SON would be GIVEN as God’s sacrificial Lamb who would lay down his own life of his own free will to obey his God to die on the cross for the sins of the world. In other words, Trinitarian church TRADITION is WRONG by saying that God Himself died on the cross. For you see, Jesus himself teaches us that the Son of MAN must be lifted up on the cross and NOT that a God the Son or the eternal divine Son of God must be lifted up on the cross.
Please read John 3:14,15
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 3:15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
The word of Almighty God teaches us that whosoever believes is Jesus shall not perish but they shall receive eternal life in the world to come. God did NOT say, whosoever shall believe in Muhammad shall receive eternal life. Muhammad is NOT that Prophet prophesied to come in Deuteronomy 18:15-22 like the Muslims CLAIM. Jesus is that Prophet that God promised to raise up from among his BRETHREN, the children of Israel, which in the new name that God gave to Jacob the son of Isaac, in Genesis 32:28 and Genesis 35:10. Please read the study called Gg-6. Jesus, the GREATEST PROPHET OF ALL TIME! But for now, I want you to read the PROPHECY that was fulfilled by Jesus as being the CHILD prophesied to be BORN of a woman who is a virgin.
Isaiah 7:14.
“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a SIGN; Behold, a virgin shall CONCEIVE, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
It would NOT be a SIGN for a virgin to conceive a child in her womb by a MAN. But it is a SIGN for a virgin to have a child CONCEIVED in her womb by the Holy Spirit without a human father of that child. Now let us read in the New Testament of this prophecy being FULFILLED by Jesus being the one born of the Virgin Mary without the seed of a human father/
Matthew 1:18-25.
“Now the BIRTH of Jesus Christ happened this way: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, BEFORE they came together, she was found with the child of the Holy Ghost. (So it is Almighty God who is the Father of His HUMAN Son, Jesus, by God CREATING His Son in the womb of the Virgin Mary BEFORE Joseph ever had sexual relation with Mary) 19. Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. (So Joseph knew full well that the child in Mary’s womb was NOT his child. And thus, Joseph THOUGHT that Mary slept with another man, for how else could she be pregnant) 20. But while he THOUGHT on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary as your wife: for that which is CONCEIVED in her is of the Holy SPIRIT. (God is Holy and God a Spirit so the Holy Spirit is Almighty God the Father Himself and NOT a so-called third person of a Godhead Trinity God. For you see, the ONLY TRUE God is ONE God in ONE person. And according to the PROPHECY in Jeremiah 31:22, God CREATED His Son Jesus in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Please read the study called O-18. Is JESUS THE CREATOR or a CREATION?) 21. And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his NAME JESUS: for (Or BECAUSE) he shall save his people from their sins. (The NAME Jesus is Yeshua in Hebrew which means Yahweh saves or the salvation of Yahweh) 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (So what did God tell the angel Gabriel to tell Joseph and Mary to NAME the child Jesus, when the prophecy says that he would be called Emmanuel or Immanuel? It was not because Jesus is Almighty God himself, but rather, that God was WITH His human Son Jesus, according to Acts 10:38. John 5:29 and John 14:10 clearly teach us that Jesus could do NOTHING of himself and that it was Almighty God the Father dwelling in him who was the one doing the mighty works of healing and raising the dead) 24. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25. And knew her not UNTIL she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”
So to all Trinitarian Roman Catholic Christians, the Virgin Mary did not REMAIN a virgin AFTER Jesus was born. But rather, Mary had other children fathered by Joseph. Sothen, only Jesus was the only HUMAN ever born of a VIRGIN without a human father. For you see, it is just as it was PROPHESIED in the Old Testament Scriptures in Isaiah 9:6,7 that a CHILD would be born first and then that HUMAN Son would be GIVEN. And the reason for the PROPHECY and FULFILLMENT of this prophecy was for a SIGN that the one BORN of a VIRGIN will be the Messiah. Again, it is NOT a SIGN for a virgin to commit fornication with a man. But it is a SIGN for a child to be miraculously CONCEIVED in the womb of a Virgin by the Holy Spirit. And I do not believe that God would commit fornication with another man’s wife to be. For you see, Joseph had not yet married his wife to be when God’s HUMAN Son was CONCEIVED in her womb by the Holy Spirit So to me, Jesus was CREATED by the only true God in the womb of the Virgin Mary as it was prophesied in Jeremiah 31:22.
Jeremiah 31:22.
“How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a NEW THING in the earth, (And that NEW THING that God prophesied to create is) A woman shall COMPASS a man.”
The Hebrew word translated as a man also means a mighty warrior. And when Jesus returns, he will be coming with the ARMIES from heaven as a mighty warrior to fight against the armies that will be making war against Israel to try and wipe out Israel from being a nation. That war will bring an end to this present world because Jesus is coming to destroy those armies to set up God’s kingdom over the earth. Now, those armies are NAMED in Psalm 83:1-18, we read about TEN nations that seek to wipe Israel off the face of the earth in the last days. And all ten of those nations are Muslim dominated nations.
Psalm 83:1-18.
“Keep not your silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God. 2. For, lo, Your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate You have lifted up the head. 3. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people (Speaking of God’s people Israel the Jewish people) and consulted against Your hidden ones. (Speaking of the Christians) 4. They (The ENEMIES of Almighty God) have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. (So then, any ENEMY of Israel is an ENEMY of Almighty God Himself. And those who consult against Christians are also the ENEMY of Almighty God) 5. For (Or BECAUSE) they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against you: (Then God prophesies the NAMES of TEN countries which today are all Muslim dominated countries that hate the Jews and the Christians) 6. The tabernacles of EDOM (Modern day Palestinians and southern Jordan), and the ISHMAELITES (The seed of Ishmael or modern-day Saudi Arabia); of MOAB, (Central Jordan) and the HAGARENES (The seed of Hagar or the Egyptians or northern Africa); 7. GEBAL, (Northern part of Lebanon) and AMMON, (The northern part of Jordan) and AMALEK; (Sinai) the PHILISTINES (The Gaza Strip) with the inhabitants of TYRE; (Southern part of Lebanon) 8. ASSUR (Syria and Iraq) also is joined with them: they have holpen (Helped or joined together with) the children of Lot. Selah. (PAUSE and CONSIDER CLOSELY what has just been said. These are ALL Muslim dominated countries that are prophesied to unite as a confederate that will seek to wipe out Israel from being a nation. But these Islamic Muslim countries sincerely believe that they are doing the work of the ONLY TRUE God of the Bible when the Bible ITSELF calls them the ENEMIES of Yahweh. And that is why Allah, the god in the Quran is NOT the SAME God of the Bible. And the ENEMY of God in the Bible is Satan who can masquerade as an angel of light who appeared to Muhammad) 9. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10. Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 11. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12. Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 13. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 14. As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire; 15. So persecute them with Your tempest, and make them afraid with Your storm. 16. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek YOUR name, O LORD. (The NAME of Yahweh is a hidden prophecy speaking of Jesus coming in the NAME of Yahweh) 17. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 18. That men may know that YOU, whose name alone is YAHWEH, are the most high over all the earth.”
Again, every one of the TEN nations is an Islamic Muslim dominated nation that will fight against Israel in the last days THINKING that they are doing the God of Abraham a service when in fact they are serving Satan who has DECEIVED them. Be not deceived my dear Muslim readers, the very Jesus, that ISLAM falsely teaches is NOT the SON of the one true and only Almighty God, WILL come again to fight AGAINST those Muslim nations that are killing the Christians and the Jews. So HOW did the HUMAN Son of God get his power and authority to execute the wrath and vengeance of his God and Father? First of all, everything that Jesus is was PROPHESIED and ORDAINED by Almighty God who then HELPED His chosen SERVANT to accomplish the task that Yahweh sent His human Son to accomplish. Did not God HELP Moses? Then why is it so hard for some Muslims and Jews to understand that God HELPED His human Son Jesus to accomplish the task that God sent His Prophet and servant to accomplish?
Please read Isaiah 42:1-6.
“Behold My SERVANT, whom I UPHOLD; MY elect, (Or MY CHOSEN one to be My Messiah) in whom My soul delights; I have put My Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 5. Thus says God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; He that gives breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6. I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will HOLD your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a COVENANT of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”
When Jesus was eight days old, Mary and Joseph took the baby Jesus to the temple to be circumcised, according to the Law of Moses. And while they were there a devout man of God named Simeon being moved by the Holy Spirit prophesied over the baby Jesus. Let us go ahead and read what this prophet and servant of God prophesied concerning Jesus.
Luke 4:25-34.
“And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 26. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. (Or Yahweh’s Messiah) 27. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 28. Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29. Lord, now let You Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word: 30. For my eyes have seen Your salvation, 31. Which You have prepared before the face of all people; 32. A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel. 33. And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him. 34. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a SIGN which shall be spoken AGAINST;”
Now, the SIGN spoken AGAINST is the bodily resurrection of Jesus and God HIGHLY EXALTING him to obtain a NAME more excellent than the angels to BECOME God’s ETERNAL Son. So again, Jesus is far more than the GREATEST Prophet of all time. Jesus is far more than just a SERVANT of his God and Father. Jesus is God’s Messiah, the SALVATION of Yahweh that Yahweh Himself PROVIDED for ALL people, both the Jews and the Gentiles. But ONLY those who BELIEVE that Jesus is the CHRIST, the SON OF the living God will RECEIVE God’s gift of salvation and eternal life. Acts 4:10-12 clearly teaches us that the NAME of Jesus is the ONLY name given among mankind whereby we MUST be saved. No man can come unto Almighty God the Father except by Jesus.
Acts 4:10-12.
“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the NAME of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the DEAD, even by him does this man stand here before you whole. 11. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which has become the head of the corner. 12. Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is NONE other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be saved.”
So then, to all of my Jewish and Muslim readers, I implore you to BELIEVE in Jesus as the one God PROPHESIED that He would raise up from among his BROTHREN to be God’s Prophet, God’s servant, God’s ELECT or chosen one, God’s ANOINTED one, God’s LIGHT unto the Gentiles, God’s Messiah, God’s Savior or salvation to save the people from their sins, and God’s King who will rule FOR Yahweh in the NAME of Yahweh for 1000 years in the world to come. So the answer to the question of how did Jesus get all of his power and authority is that his God and Father GAVE His human Son all power and authority after the cross and resurrection.
