That still dosnt answerFirdaus Mardhatillah said:I was not pointing that Jesus is the same God as Islam's God, but the Father in christian is the same God as our God: Allah.
If we are cleansed of our guilt thanks to our debt to the law being paid and can therefore appear rightous befor a Holy God and your god dosnt require that then how can they be called the same God?
Its not contradictory, at that specific time he was just sent for the lost sheep of Israel.Firdaus Mardhatillah said:So be it that way: the woman's request is granted, then why did Jesus said that he was sent only for the house of Israel if he didn't came but only for the house of Israel?
Oh yeah this really interested me:
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile - Romans 1:16"
Now I would like to ask you, can a holy book be said to be holy if there are contradictions between the verses inside it? From Matthew 15:24 and Romans 1:16, you can see that one time Jesus said that he was sent only for the house of Israel and the other time Jesus said that he was sent for everyone who believes. Now which one is true? One of them has to be true, cause two contradicted statements cannot be both right.
John 5:17-19
Jesus said to them, My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working. For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. Jesus gave them this answer: I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
Thats was his current mission from the Father. While on earth Jesus made it clear that he was doing what the Father told him to do. While on earth Jesus had
Philippians 2:7 -but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Not only does this story in Matthew 15:24 hint at what was to come eg the Gentiles would also benifit from Jesus but Romans 1:16 confirms it!
If God is made up of 3 persons like Christians belive and the bible makes this clear then it is perfectly legitimate to say that Jesus or part of God was sent.Firdaus Mardhatillah said:Oh, one more thing: Jesus (God) was sent...how on earth can God be sent? Prophets were sent, but God? No way! If Jesus was sent, than Jesus is not God because there is something more powerful than Jesus that could send Jesus. So, Jesus is a prophet, not God.
