Jesus denied being good in the sense that God is good. If Jesus is God one would expect him to admit he is good in the sense
that God is good, meaning perfect. However when we read the Bible we
see that Jesus denies being good in the sense that God is good which is
perfect. Here are the passages:
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is]
none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life,
keep the commandments.
So note, the man calls Jesus good, Jesus tells the man there is non
good but God. Obviously Jesus referred to God as someone else, which
also proves Jesus isn’t God. However the main importance of the
passages is that Jesus denies being Good in the way God is good, which
is to be perfect.
===================6-
Jesus could not save anyone The Bible also claims that Jesus cannot save anyone! Here is the passage:
Hebrews 5:1-8: 1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained
for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and
sacrifices for sins: 2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on
them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed
with infirmity. 3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so
also for himself, to offer for sins. 4 And no man taketh this honour
unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5 So also
Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that
said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he
saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
of Melchisedec. 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up
prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that
was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he
suffered
So Jesus cried to the one who could save him from death, this means
Jesus could not save himself from death, therefore this also means
Jesus cannot save anyone else from death. How can Jesus be God when he
cannot save anyone? This also shows that Jesus is not in control of
life and death, God however is in control of everything, including life
and death:
And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not create anything while
they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any
harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the
dead) to life. S. 25:3 Shakir
This verse is from the Noble Quran, I guess this sums it all up doesn’t it?
===================7-
Jesus’ believers did NOT believe he was God neither One of the greatest Christian myths is that Jesus’ followers believed
he was God. However so, this is not true, the Bible says otherwise:
Matthew
Chapter 16
13-14
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And
they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and
others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets
So as we can see, the believers out of the population did not take
Jesus as God, they took him for a great man, such as John the Baptist,
or Elias, or some others. None of them said he is God. Now let us read
on and see what his own disciples took him for:
15-20
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter
answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which
is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and
upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the
kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should
tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
So note, now Jesus asks his disciples about what they take him to be
for, they respond by saying he is the SON OF GOD, Jesus agrees with
them and tells them tell no man I am the Christ. So note, Jesus’
disciples do not say you are God, Jesus himself does not say he is God.
Now both the son of God and the term Christ do not mean God. They never
have, and never will. The term Christ means Messiah, the definition of
Messiah is not God, and the Jews who were awaiting their Messiah did
not believe the Messiah would be God:
The predominant Jewish understanding of moshiach ("the messiah") is based on the writings of
Maimonides, (the Rambam). His views on the messiah are discussed in his
Mishneh Torah, his 14 volume compendium of
Jewish law, in the section Hilkhot Melakhim Umilchamoteihem, chapter 11. Maimonides writes:
"The anointed King ("HaMelekh HaMoshiach") is destined to stand up and restore the
Davidic Kingdom to its antiquity, to the first sovereignty. He will build the
Temple in Jerusalem and
gather the strayed ones of Israel together. All laws will return in his
days as they were before: Sacrificial offerings are offered and the
Sabbatical years and Jubilees are kept, according to all its precepts
that are mentioned in the
Torah.
Whoever does not believe in him, or whoever does not wait for his
coming, not only does he defy the other prophets, but also the Torah
and our Rabbi Moses. For the Torah testifies about him, thus: "And the
Lord Your God will return your returned ones and will show you mercy
and will return and gather you... If your strayed one shall be at the
edge of Heaven... And He shall bring you" etc." (Deuteronomy 30:3-5).
"These words that are explicitly stated in the Torah, encompass and
include all the words spoken by all the prophets. In the section of
Torah referring to
Bala'am,
too, it is stated, and there he prophesied about the two anointed ones:
The first anointed one is David, who saved Israel from all their
oppressors; and the last anointed one will stand up from among his
descendants and saves Israel in the end. This is what he says (Numbers
24:17-18): "I see him but not now" - this is David; "I behold him but
not near" - this is the Anointed King. "A star has shot forth from
Jacob" - this is David; "And a brand will rise up from Israel" - this
is the Anointed King. "And he will smash the edges of
Moab"
- This is David, as it states: "...And he struck Moab and measured them
by rope" (II Samuel 8:2); "And he will uproot all Children of Seth" -
this is the Anointed King, of whom it is stated: "And his reign shall
be from sea to sea" (Zechariah 9:10). "And Edom shall be possessed" -
this is David, thus: "And
Edombecame David's as slaves etc." (II Samuel 8:6); "And Se'ir shall be
possessed by its enemy" - this is the Anointed King, thus: "And saviors
shall go up Mount Zion to judge Mount Esau, and the Kingdom shall be
the Lord's" (Obadiah 1:21)."
"And by the Towns of Refuge it states: "And if the Lord your God will
widen up your territory... you shall add on for you another three
towns" etc. (Deuteronomy 19:8-9). Now this thing never happened; and
the Holy One does not command in vain. But as for the words of the
prophets, this matter needs no proof, as all their books are full with
this issue."
"Do not imagine that the anointed King must perform miracles and signs
and create new things in the world or resurrect the dead and so on. The
matter is not so: For
Rabbi Akiba was a great scholar of the sages of the
Mishnah, and he was the assistant-warrior of the king
Ben Coziba,
and claimed that he was the anointed king. He and all the Sages of his
generation deemed him the anointed king, until he was killed by sins;
only since he was killed, they knew that he was not. The Sages asked
him neither a miracle nor a sign..."
"And if a king shall stand up from among the House of David, studying
Torah and indulging in commandments like his father David, according to
the written and oral Torah, and he will coerce all Israel to follow it
and to strengthen its weak points, and will fight Hashem's wars, this
one is to be treated as if he were the anointed one. If he succeeded
{and won all nations surrounding him. Old prints and mss.} and built a
Holy Temple in its proper place and gathered the strayed ones of Israel
together, this is indeed the anointed one for certain, and he will mend
the entire world to worship the Lord together, as it is stated: "For
then I shall turn for the nations a clear tongue, to call all in the
Name of the Lord and to worship Him with one shoulder" (Zephaniah
3:9)."
"But if he did not succeed until now, or if he was killed, it becomes
known that he is not this one of whom the Torah had promised us, and he
is indeed like all proper and wholesome kings of the House of David who
died. The Holy One, Blessed Be He, only set him up to try the public by
him, thus: "And from the seekers of wisdom there shall stumble, to
purify among them and to clarify and to brighten until the time of the
ending, for there is yet to the set time" (Daniel 11:35)."

http://www.aish.com/tishabav/tishaba...in_Judaism.aspIn Judaism, who is the Messiah?
The messiah is a G-d fearing, pious Jew, who is both a great Torah
scholar and a great leader as well. He is a direct descendent of King
David, and will be anointed as the new Jewish King. (In fact, the
Hebrew word for messiah - "Moshiach" - means "anointed one.").
When the messiah comes, there will be a universal recognition of the
truth of Torah and the G-d Who gave that Torah at Mount Sinai. All Jews
will return to the Land of Israel, where they will throw off the yoke
of their enemies and undergo a complete spiritual revival. They will
embrace the faith of their forefathers and dedicate themselves to G-d's
service forever.
They will re-build the Holy Temple, from where the Divine presence will
shine forth, spreading the light of truth, justice, tolerance and peace
throughout the world.
Taken from
http://www.jewfaq.org/moshiach.htm The Moshiach
The moshiach will be a great political leader descended from King David
(Jeremiah 23:5). The moshiach is often referred to as "moshiach ben
David" (moshiach, son of David). He will be well-versed in Jewish law,
and observant of its commandments. (Isaiah 11:2-5) He will be a
charismatic leader, inspiring others to follow his example. He will be
a great military leader, who will win battles for
Israel.
He will be a great judge, who makes righteous decisions (Jeremiah
33:15). But above all, he will be a human being, not a god, demi-god or
other supernatural being.
It has been said that in every generation, a person is born with the
potential to be the moshiach. If the time is right for the messianic
age within that person's lifetime, then that person will be the
moshiach. But if that person dies before he completes the mission of
the moshiach, then that person is not the moshiach.

8- Will you worship Jesus, or the one Jesus worshiped? One glaring problem the Christians have is that Jesus prayed, and had a
God himself. This logically lets us conclude that Jesus cannot be God.
The logical thing to do is worship and pray to the one Jesus prayed to.
If Jesus told you that he had a God, would you honestly take Jesus as
God? The logical answer is no, but Christians throw all logic out when
it comes to their Bible.
Matthew 26:36-44
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane,
and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this
be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could
you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this
to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, SAYING THE SAME THING.
So are you going worship the one Jesus prayed to? Or are you going to
worship Jesus? Logically you worship the one Jesus prayed to.
Secondly just say you were alive at Jesus’ time and you were with him,
and you knew he prayed to God and so on, would you honestly believe he
is God? Off course not! It gets worse as Jesus himself claims he has a
God:
John 20:16-18 :
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him,
Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me
not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and
say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God,
and your God. 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she
had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
Now tell me, if a man came to you and told you he has a God, would you
honestly believe that man is God? No, you would not. Logic tells you if
a man has a God then that man is not God, however Christians through
logic at the window it seems, Christians want to worship Jesus, not the
one Jesus worshiped. Christians want Jesus to be their God; they do not
want Jesus’ God to be their God. What a shame.
So Jesus prays and has a God, how un-Godly is that?
