When addressing matters of faith, a commitment to biblical truth often necessitates a stance that prioritizes divine revelation over contemporary political correctness. From a Christian perspective, certain core theological tenets are non-negotiable. For instance, the Bible defines the spirit of the antichrist as that which denies Jesus Christ has come in the flesh or denies the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22-23; 1 John 4:2-3). Given that Islamic doctrine fundamentally rejects the divinity and sonship of Jesus, it is seen by some as aligning with this definition because it directly contradicts the Christian understanding of who Jesus is, effectively having "nothing to do with Jesus" as fully God and fully man. As Christians, we are indeed commissioned to share this truth, being "obliged to inform everyone to come to the right path" through the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8).

The pathway to eternal life, according to Christian scripture, is forged through recognizing Jesus Christ as both fully man and fully God (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9). He endured earthly suffering not to "skip justice," but to satisfy divine justice and uphold God's immutable attributes of mercy, justice, and truth (Psalm 85:10; Romans 3:25-26). Without this perfect balance, God would cease to be truly God. Humanity, universally susceptible to sin (Romans 3:23; Romans 3:10), cannot achieve righteousness on its own. Therefore, the Almighty God took on human form (John 1:14) to justly pay the penalty for our sins (Isaiah 53:5-6; 2 Corinthians 5:21). It is by truly believing in what Christ accomplished on the cross, confessing our shortcomings, and placing our faith in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that we are granted the promise of "eternal life with God in paradise" (John 3:16; Romans 6:23).

In contrast, while Islam claims God is the Truth and Merciful, the Christian argument highlights a perceived diminished emphasis on divine justice, overlooking God's role as ultimate Judge. The Bible unequivocally states that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23), referring to "spiritual death" or "eternal suffering in hell" (Ephesians 2:1; Revelation 20:14-15). The spirit, being eternal, faces either eternal life in God's presence or eternal separation, depending on its reconciliation with its Creator through Christ.

To understand why Christians believe Jesus Christ is God, one must indeed approach the Bible with a discerning spirit, recognizing the Old and New Testaments as an indivisible, progressive revelation of God's redemptive plan.

The Old Testament, lays the foundational prophecies and divine attributes that are later ascribed to Jesus. Prophets spoke of a coming Messiah who would bear titles belonging only to God. For instance,

Isaiah 9:6 declares of the coming child: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Here, the Messiah is explicitly named "Mighty God," a direct reference to divinity.

Micah 5:2 speaks of the Messiah's ancient origins, foretelling his birth in Bethlehem yet stating his "goings forth are from of old, from everlasting," implying a pre-existent nature. Furthermore,

Psalms often speak of God's eternal reign, and the New Testament letter to the Hebrews explicitly applies Psalm 45:6 to Jesus: "But about the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.'" This directly names the Son as God.

The New Testament then unveils the fulfillment of these prophecies, with Jesus Himself making claims that only God could make, and His followers acknowledging His divine nature. John 1:1 famously declares, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," further stating in John 1:14 that
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." This identifies Jesus (the Word incarnate) as God who took on human form.

Jesus unequivocally asserted His pre-existence and equality with God in John 8:58, telling the Pharisees, "Very truly I tell you, before Abraham was born, I Am!"

This echoes God's self-identification to Moses in Exodus 3:14 ("I AM WHO I AM")—a profound claim to eternal, self-existent divinity. He also stated, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30), a statement that infuriated His Jewish hearers because they understood it as a claim to deity, leading them to attempt to stone Him.

Post-resurrection, Thomas bowed before Jesus, declaring, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28), a confession Jesus accepted without rebuke. Paul further affirms this in Philippians 2:6, describing Jesus as "being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage," and

in Colossians 1:16-17, attributing creation itself to Jesus, stating "all things have been created through him and for him."

Thus, through the seamless tapestry of Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, Jesus' own words, and the testimony of His apostles, Christians consistently understand Jesus Christ not merely as a prophet or a good man, but as God incarnate.

Flyameta: This is for you not to say that I did not know when it is time. Everything that is written here has been said before the birth of Jesus. and that it happened exactly as it says there should wake up and wake up call for anyone who is interested in eternal life.

1. Isaiah 53: The Suffering Servant This entire chapter is perhaps the most detailed and profound prophecy concerning Christ's atoning suffering. It describes His rejection, abuse, and substitutionary death:

"Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4-5)
"He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." (Isaiah 53:7)
"He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth." (Isaiah 53:9)
"After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities." (Isaiah 53:53:11)
2. Psalm 22: A Cry from the Cross This psalm, attributed to David, reads like an eyewitness account of a crucifixion, predating the Roman invention of crucifixion by many centuries. Jesus Himself quotes the opening line from the cross:

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?" (Psalm 22:1, quoted by Jesus in Matthew 27:46)
"I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death." (Psalm 22:14-15, describing extreme dehydration and physical agony)
"Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet." (Psalm 22:16, a direct reference to the nailing of hands and feet)
"All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment." (Psalm 22:17-18, fulfilled when Roman soldiers gambled for Jesus' clothing in John 19:23-24)
3. Zechariah 12:10: The Pierced One This verse clearly foretells the piercing of the Messiah:

"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son." (Zechariah 12:10, fulfilled when a soldier pierced Jesus' side with a spear in John 19:34, 37)
4. Isaiah 50:6: Physical Abuse This verse describes the physical mistreatment Jesus endured before and during His crucifixion:

"I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mockery and spitting." (Isaiah 50:6, fulfilled by the scourging, beating, and spitting Jesus experienced in Matthew 26:67, 27:26, 30)
5. Psalm 69:21: Gall and Vinegar This detail, seemingly minor, was precisely fulfilled during the crucifixion:

"They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst." (Psalm 69:21, fulfilled in Matthew 27:34 and John 19:29)
These prophecies, among others, demonstrate an astounding level of foresight and detail, forming a powerful testament to the divine plan behind Jesus' suffering and ultimate sacrifice. Their precise fulfillment in the New Testament accounts stands as a cornerstone of Christian belief.

The Armenian [deleted] is just a low IQ like the rest of the supporteres of the sodomite.....Her cohost is of a turkish descend whose country was the achitect of the Armenian, greece and and assyrian genocide. Hence it is mindboggling to see her scream day in and day to bash the state of israel to appease her turkish master.
