How can Jesus be God if he says “By myself I can do nothing”
“By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” (John 5:30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ironically, John 5 is the chapter Jesus DECLARES that he possesses the very GLORY and ATTRIBUTES of GOD!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The above verse fits perfectly with our belief in the three PERSONS who are one BEING\/God: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It’s understandable that people have confused greatness of ROLE<\/mark><\/strong> with greatness of NATURE<\/mark><\/strong> (essence). A school principal can have a greater ROLE than his teacher but these two PERSONS are EQUAL in HUMANITY. [This is just a basic example which by no means fully explains the divine and dynamic roles, relationship and unity of the spiritual God!] CONTEXT! If one had bothered to read the verses (25-29) in the same chapter before arriving at the cherry picked verse (verse 30), one would have easily realized that Jesus is not a mere prophet but is revealing his God attributes and glory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the danger of the False Dilemma Fallacy <\/mark><\/strong>(choosing one verse and ignoring many others which shed light on the meaning of that one verse)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you know of a prophet who possesses the glory and attribute of God to RESURRECT mankind on the day of judgment? According to the Law of First Mention<\/mark><\/strong>, in this same chapter the Son declares (600 years before Allah of the Qur\u2019an) that he will RESURRECT the dead and JUDGE the world? Jesus declares: Are the attributes Jesus states of himself not the very attributes Allah of the Qur\u2019an claims to be EXCLUSIVELY of himself 600 years later?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allah of the Qur\u2019an also claims to be the one to judge the world. In QS 22:6-7 Allah claims to be the raiser\/resurrector of the dead on the last day. How can Jesus be God if he says “By myself I can do nothing”“By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I…<\/p>\n
Although the Father is greater in ROLE to the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are all EQUAL in NATURE (essence of GOD). They are ONE BEING.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In their subservience or obedience to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are SENT by the Father. The Holy Spirit is SENT by the Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you know of a prophet who possesses the glory and attribute of God to JUDGE mankind?
God does not share his glory. This why Jesus said the Father and I are ONE. Jesus and the Father are ONE BEING\/GOD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does Allah of the Kaaba [who falsely claims to be the true God of Israel (QS 29:46)] not claim, 600 years later, these attributes to be EXCLUSIVELY for himself as a god? Does Allah not claim to be THE RESURRECTOR and the one who will JUDGE the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. \u201cDo not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out\u2014those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

“On that Day, true sovereignty will belong to the Merciful, and it will be a difficult Day” (Quran 25:26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The raiser (Al-Ba\u2019ith) is one of the 99 names of Allah
QS 22:6. “Such is (the cycle of life and nature) to prove that All\u00e2h alone is the Truth and it is He Who brings the dead to life and He indeed is Possessor of power to do all that He will”<\/p>\n
