FACT: Christians have ALWAYS believed Jesus is God The CHRIST!
I do believe the scripture. The Catholic church was the only one at that time. It's not that way today. The Catholic church became corrupt and others carried on the truth they had lost.
Not a single answer.
1. No manuscripts

3. No authorship
Zilch.
Ill show you how God is love in the Bible since you are hell bent in speaking about Muhammed.
Kill People for Working on the Sabbath
The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: ‘Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.’ (Exodus 31:12-15 )
2) God’s Murders for Stupid Reasons:
Kill Brats
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. “Go up baldhead,” they shouted, “go up baldhead!” The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 )
God Kills the Curious
And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and’ fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter. And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? (1Samuel 6:19-20 ASV)
Killed by a Lion
Meanwhile, the LORD instructed one of the group of prophets to say to another man, “Strike me!” But the man refused to strike the prophet. Then the prophet told him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me.” And sure enough, when he had gone, a lion attacked and killed him. (1 Kings 20:35-36 )
Killing the Good Samaritan
The ark of God was placed on a new cart and taken away from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab guided the cart, with Ahio walking before it, while David and all the Israelites made merry before the Lord with all their strength, with singing and with citharas, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God to steady it, for the oxen were making it tip. But the Lord was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before God. (2 Samuel 6:3-7 )

Well, you are wrong. Jesus is not called God in any of the Synoptics, and John deifies him 70 years after Jesus is dead. You dont have a single authentic document from Jesus's time. So all you can do is turn it on the Muslims, Muhammed, call people names, cry and wine as you say, and repeat the same false statement "history proves you wrong". Repeating the same thing does not make it true.
And because your intention is to demonise Islam just to feel good about your theology, here you go.
God Will Kill the Children of Sinners
If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus 26:21-22 )
More Rape and Baby Killing
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children.(Isaiah 13:15-18 )
Just as at Genesis 1:16 we fine the word made and Not the word 'create' at John 1:3.
Also, please notice at John 1:10 that the world was 'made' because the world came into existence through Jesus.
So, just as the already created light at Genesis Day One, the already created light was 'made' to do something on Day Four.
We find that people saw Jesus. John wrote at John 1:18 that No man has seen God at any time. See John 6:46.
John believed pre-human Jesus was 'created' according to John at Revelation 3:14 B.

There is when Jesus (a) is asked if he is the Prophet and says no, that means, people are expecting "the Prophet" and he is not that Prophet.
There is also the fact Jesus (a) says he is the light of the world so long as he in the world, and this same station of the holy spirit. Holy spirit is light in heart of believers, and this is what Jesus (a) said he was, but only so long as he was in this world. This means someone has to occupy this position.
He says the Praised one is to come or if you want to go with more current translations that to me outright hiding the truth of the word, "comforter", so let's say it means comforter... if trinity is not seen as part of the Gospels, then everything Jesus (a) praises about himself applies to chosen ones of the past and of the comforter to come. As Jesus is leaving, Elijah and him coming back makes sense, because someone has to occupy the position of holy spirit before the "comforter/praised one" to come is also an instance of the holy spirit. To prove Elijah (a) came back, he talks about John (a) who was killed, but that he too was like Elijah (a) but was not recognized. This hinting why Elijah (A) is not in the open, but only seen by a few of his followers, but will occupy the position, because Jesus (A) says he is to go but will return.
And Torah, we see princes talked about from Ishmael in Torah and Jesus emphasizes the authority of anointed kings are not worldly but from higher realm and light of God. This means a king with God's Authority is coming to be inherited by Twelve Princes. This historically per Ibn Kathir was the reason majority of Jews came to Shiite Islam in the region. Ismail (A) having twelve sons according to this number, was to safeguard the number, but his twelve sons were not the princes, because his brother Isaac, and then Jacob, and then Joseph who succeeded Ismail's Authority.
The holy spirit had to become something mysterious, when it was more of a position occupied by his holy chosen ones, from Adam till the Mahdi as light and power pulling people to God. Otherwise Mohammad (s) being an instance of the holy spirit is so clear in the Gospels and his prophecy beyond clear, it's vivid.
As for the holy spirit, it's mystic, it's light, it's majestic, and inward, and spiritual, but it's not some unknown entity.
Christians have always believed Jesus is the Son of God and that this meant that He is equal to His Father.
70 years later is not much, and it was probably less than that. But if you don't believe the gospel you don't believe it.
Paul wrote a lot earlier and he is good on the deity of Jesus.
Muhammad was 600 years after Jesus and so he did not know anything about Jesus.
Muhammad denies the death of Jesus on the cross and so denies not only that Jesus is God but also the gospel of Jesus dying for our sins.
Not really. Son of God was always a phrase used for and by many to mean Gods representative on earth. Like Ephraim. That never meant "God".
You are right. Paul did write earlier than any of the Gospels. But there is information in the gospels themselves that there was dispute between Paul and the Disciples.
ITs true that Muhammed cane centuries after Jesus. But do you put the same standard on the Gospels to Moses? How many years later did Jesus and the Gospels come out? Do you apply the same standards?
Could you tell me why every time someone questions the veracity of Christianity or the NT Muhammed is taken into the picture for justification? Is not that a Tu Quoque?
It is not a valid argument.

1213 Man needs an AUTHORITY to teach! Think: You have a bible study with various people from different Protestant churches sitting around a table all will have there beliefs from the same bible, all will be quoting verses to back up their beliefs... ALL...
Yes! The Catholic church did exactly that! They created false and corrupt doctrine and frauded people.Wildswanderer The great De-Formation started about 1700 A.D. because people rejected the scriptures!
I do... which is why I reject Catholic doctrine.reply: To place your faith In Christ you MUST believe the words of Jesus! To place your faith In Christ you MUST believe the Scriptures!
In the Tanakh the sons of God are all types of Jesus.
I don't know of any dispute mentioned in the gospels.
It's all God's Word and as such is true.
It is a valid argument that if John is wrong because he wrote 60-70 years after Jesus then Muhammad also must be wrong since he was 600 years after Jesus.
Well, you are wrong. Jesus is not called God in any of the Synoptics, and John deifies him 70 years after Jesus is dead. You dont have a single authentic document from Jesus's time.

And the problem with that is, they take just one scripture to support their own idea and don’t care much about the rest that would put the one scripture in right context. Priest, pope, or any human teacher is only useful, if he knows the whole picture and can show the meaning that Bible gives for single scriptures. Bible explains what it means, but many don’t want to read the whole book to understand it, they like more their own teachings. And unfortunately, the same problem is often with religious authorities, thy preach their own doctrines, not God’s word.
Yes! The Catholic church did exactly that! They created false and corrupt doctrine and frauded people.
