What the true massage of Jesus?

JESUS, THE PERSON


As has been shown in the previous chapter, the Biblical scriptures, both New and Old Testaments, are unreliable sources and cannot, therefore, be used as an authentic means of knowing the truth about the man called Jesus Christ or about his mission and message. However, a close examination of these scriptures in the light of Qur’aanic verses will reveal some of the truths about Jesus that have survived in the Bible.


A Messenger


Throughout the Qur‘aan, Jesus is identified fundamentally as a Messenger of God. In Chapter as-Saff (61):6, God quotes Jesus as follows:


“And [remember] when Jesus, son of Mary, said: ‘O Children of Israel, I am the messenger of Allaah sent to you, confirming the Torah [which came] before me.”


There are many verses in the New Testament supporting the messengership / prophethood of Jesus. The following are only a few: In Matthew 21:11, the people of his time are recorded as referring to Jesus as a prophet: “And the crowds said, ‘This is the prophet Jesus of Nazareth of Galilee.’ ” In Mark, 6:4, it is stated that Jesus referred to himself as a prophet: “And Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.’ ” In the following verses, Jesus is referred to as having been sent as a messenger is sent. In Matthew 10:40, Jesus was purported to have said: “He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.” In John 17:3, Jesus is also quoted as saying: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” [1]


A Man


The Qur’aanic revelation not only affirms Jesus’ prophethood, but it also clearly denies Jesus’ divinity. In Chapter al-Maa’idah, (5): 75, God points out that Jesus ate food, which is a human act, obviously not befitting to God.


“The Messiah, Son of Mary, was no more than a messenger and many messengers passed away before him. His mother was exceedingly truthful, and they both ate food. See how I have made the signs clear for them, yet see how they are deluded.”


There are numerous accounts in the New Testament which also deny Jesus’ divinity.


For example, in Matthew 19:17, Jesus responded to one who addressed him as “O good master”, saying: “Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God.” If he rejected being called “good”, [2] and stated that only God is truly good, he clearly implies that he is not God.


In John 14:28, Jesus was saying: “The Father is greater than I.” By stating that the “Father” is greater than himself, Jesus distinguishes himself from God. Also in John 20:17, Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell his followers: “I ascend unto my Father and your Father; and to my God and your God.” Jesus’ reference to God as “my Father and your Father” further emphasizes the distinction between himself and God. Furthermore, by referring to God as “his God”, he left no room for anyone to intelligently claim that he was God.


Even in some of the writings of Paul, which the Church has taken to be sacred, Jesus is referred to as a “man”, distinct and different from God. In 1st Timothy, 2:5, Paul writes: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”


There are also verses in the Qur‘aan which confirm Prophet Muhammad’s humanity, in order to prevent his followers from elevating him to a divine or semi-divine status, as was done to Prophet Jesus. For example, in Chapter al-Kahf (18):110, Allaah instructs the Prophet Muhammad (e) to inform all who hear his message:


} قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَاْ بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحَى إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَا إلَـهُكُمْ إِلهٌ وَاحِدٌ {





“Say: ‘Indeed, I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your God is only one God.’ ”





In Chapter al-A‘raaf (7):187, Allaah also directed Prophet Muhammad (e) to acknowledge that the time of the Judgement is known only to God.


“They ask you about the Final Hour: 'When will its apointed time be?’ Say: ‘Knowledge of it is with my Lord. None can reveal its time besides Him.’ ”


In the Gospel according to Mark 13:31-32, Jesus is also reported to have denied having knowledge of when the final hour of this world would be, saying: “Heaven and the earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass away, but of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in the heaven nor the Son but the Father.” One of the attributes of God is omniscience, knowledge of all things. Therefore, his denial of knowledge of the Day of Judgement is also a denial of divinity, for one who does not know the time of the final hour cannot possibly be God. [3]





An Immaculate Conception


The Qur‘aan confirms the Biblical story of Jesus’ virgin birth. However, in the Qur‘aanic account of Jesus’ birth, Mary was an unmarried maiden whose life was dedicated to the worship of God by her mother. While she was worshipping in a place of religiousWhat the true massage of Jesus?
Well, Jesus tends to use holy oil and rub it all over a mans body right, then he takes this fig leaf and starts wacking the man all over to induce more oils and a nice lil scent.





Then comes the tricky part of getting a 70cm large bread stick and hitting the man all over the back, soothes the heck out of people. After which comes the foot massage.





It is said after a good massage, one feels like he died and got reborn all over again. Hence the fame of Jesus The Masseuse spread all over the world. Amen.What the true massage of Jesus?
-reads 'massage'- -skips enormous copy-pasted answer- -reads a few answers- -laughs- -types silly things about his actions- -leaves-
His message is about The Kingdom that God will establish at the return of Jesus Christ as Lord and King of that eternal Kingdom.
Back rub works the best








(i am not going to any intimate parts)








I' honestly thought, you are TT
Nice copying and pasting there.
Sorry, you got me sleepy at the end. Wow, that was fast and more effective than one of Beethoven's sleep-inducing songs.
A good foot rub

The true message of Jesus is the Holy Bible.
uhh.. can you cut it short into atleast 20 sentences?? lol
';What the true massage of Jesus?'; lol i didnt know he gave massages..i wonder if they were any good?
As you have quoted from the scriptures, Jesus is not God nor does he claim to be God or a part of him. In John 17:1, 3-5, Jesus mentions a few things about himself in prayer to his heavenly father. He states that God had sent him to earth from the heavens in order to glorify God and to finish his assigned work. That work included ministering Matthew chapters 5-7 and showing what God's kingdom will do for mankind; Luke 9:11-17, John 11:11-14,38-44; Luke 8:27-35; 10:29-37. In these verses, Jesus showed in God's kingdom there will be no hunger, no death, pain, or sickness of any kind and no prejudice due to skin color or nationality. These are just a few of many scriptures to support these facts besides Jesus dying for us in exchange for Adam's sins, 1 Corinthians 15: 22,23,45.
IMHO, the titles pertaining to Jesus are the concerns of a small mind.





The most important thing about Jesus is whether or not he was correct.





Is it correct to love your neighbor as yourself and to devote your every thought to reverence? Is that the true cause of happiness?





I have judged it to be so.
I am sorry but your diatribe is way off the mark. Jesus Christ's life, death, burial and resurrection are historically accurate and verifiable.





Salvation is by faith in the shed blood of Christ, unlike with Islam which is salvation can only be known for certain if you are a martyr or kill an infidel in the name of Allah. The scales must scare you otherwise as you try and earn your salvation by following more rules, how to eat, when to pray, what direction to face, what to wear...rules, rules rules....how can you ever know you are going to paradise?
Joh 3:13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.


Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,


Joh 3:15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.


Joh 3:16 ';For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.


Joh 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.


Joh 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
The true message of Jesus is to make people believe in one God(Allah)


we have to read QURAN to know the real story of Jesus


story of Jesus in the bible is not true because bible has been changed


QURAN is a message of Allah


QURAN contains many miracles and scientific explanations which are discovered in this century to prove that QURAN has come from Allah and is not written by man
