When mankind worships Jesus, does he worship a man? People will perish because of lack of knowledge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What beloved Muslims probably aren’t aware of is that the Son EXISTS IN ETERNITY AS SPIRIT, not MAN. This defeats the “you worship a man” slogan as false, deceptive and blasphemous.
When the Son is worshiped, he is worshiped as SPIRIT to the glory of the Father (Philippians 2:8\u202d-\u202c11). God is ETERNAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Messiah, the Son of God, is ETERNAL. The Son did not come into existence through Mary. He has always existed in eternity.
This is clearly stated (long before the Gospel, Paul, the Church or Nicea) in the Old Testament Hebrew scripture:
\u201cBut you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, FROM EVERLASTING.\u201d
Micah 5:2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘John testified about him [Jesus] when he shouted to the crowds, \u201cThis is the one I was talking about when I said, \u2018Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he EXISTED LONG BEFORE me.\u2019\u201d
John 1:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus answered, \u201cIf I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, \u2018He is our God.\u2019 But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.\u201d So the Jews said to him, \u201cYou are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?\u201d Jesus said to them, \u201cTruly, truly, I say to you, BEFORE Abraham was, I am.\u201d
John 8:54\u202d-\u202c58<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus said:
“And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you BEFORE the world existed.”
John 17:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, everything that was created was created THROUGH the Son (John 1 :10), who is the Word; the Word was with God and the Word was God. (John 1:1-3,10). YOU were created through the Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only God deserves worship. God is ONE (Deuteronomy 6:4) as confirmed by Jesus in Mark 12:29. “The Father and the Son are ONE” (John 10:30). Jesus said to Philip that if he has seen the Son he has seen the Father (John 14:9). The Son is God in essence and the prophets of old testify of this: (Isaiah 9:6, Daniel 7:13-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Son of God is not a man but is spirit. It is the highest order of deception (as displayed in QS 6:101) to think that the only way Jesus is Son is for God to have a biological wife or any wife of any nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John the Baptist was to prepare the way for God (Malachi 3:1, Mark 1:13) and God came to the world by taking the form of a man\/flesh (Isaiah 40:3-5, John 1:14, Hebrews 2 :9) and dwelt amongst men. In fact, if you do not believe that Jesus is spirit\/God who became flesh, the spirit of Antichrist already dwells in you (1 John 4:2-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE SON WILL BE WORSHIPED to the glory of the Father:
\u201cIn my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language WORSHIPED HIM. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will NOT PASS AWAY, and his kingdom is one that will NEVER BE DESTROYED.”
Daniel 7:13\u202d-\u202c14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here the “son of man” is Jesus, as he often referred himself to, and the “Ancient of days” is the Father.
As Son of God, he received worship after his disciples saw him walking on water: “Then those who were in the boat WORSHIPED him, saying, \u201cTruly you are the Son of God.\u201dMatthew 14:33<\/p>\n\n\n\n


When Jesus Jesus was carried up into heaven after his resurrection, the disciples “WORSHIPED him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, continually in the temple blessing God” (Luke 24:50-53)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His disciple, Thomas, called him “MY LORD AND MY GOD”. The prophet Jeremiah says of the promised Messiah: “Now this is His name by which he will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no other name [except the name Jesus] given under heaven whereby all men may be saved (Acts 4:12). Blessings!<\/p>\n
