Introduction and what is the Gospel Injil?
God gave the good news of Isaac Ishaq twice to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.
Nowhere in the Quran did God say anyone changed the written word of God because the proof God is real is that no one can change His written word in Quran 3:3, Quran 4:136, Quran 6:34, Quran 6:115, Quran 10:64, Quran 18:27 and Quran 30:30 except with their spoken words meaning in conversation for example in the story of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham Ibrahim no one could change the word of God except in conversations when some Muslims said the son to be sacrificed was Ishaq and other Muslims said the son to be sacrificed was Ismail.
Notice that no Muslim changed the word of God in the Quran except with their mouth in conversation and in the same way no Jew can change the word of God in the Tanakh Jewish scripture except with their mouth in conversation.
God gave the good news of Isaac Ishaq twice to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.
In the story of Isaac Ishaq, God gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice.
The first time God gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq.
The second time God gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that God stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim.
Why does God say sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat?
When God says sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat God is reminding Prophet Abraham Ibrahim that he already gave one son to God when he long ago sent Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar into the desert.
God tests Prophet Abraham Ibrahim a second time by saying sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq who still lives with you.
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim refuse God and say but I already gave you Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim refuse God and say but you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim sacrifice Isaac Ishaq who is the only son still living with him after he had already given Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar to God in the desert?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim give God both his sons?
When Prophet Abraham Ibrahim shows he will obey God then God stops the test and fulfils His promise because God always fulfils His promise.
In the story of sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 God only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq. God has left no other blessing.
Prophet Isaac Ishaq is called the good news son in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51.
When the Good News son is not named four times in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and in Quran 51:28 it is Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 where the good news son is also not named because it is always the name God gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
When the Good News son is named five times in Quran 11:69, 11:71, 11:74 and Quran 29:27, 29:31 it is Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 where the good news son is also named Prophet Isaac Ishaq because Good News is always the name God gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran.
God names Prophet Isaac Ishaq as the good news son 9 times in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51.
God names Prophet Isaac Ishaq four times in Quran chapter 37 twice as the good news son and twice by name.
In the story of the sacrifice in the Quran God only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq. God has left no other blessing.
In the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 God only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where God blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48.
This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2.
In two famous vision dreams in the Quran God blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 and God blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the bowing of the Sun and the Moon and the eleven stars towards one star in Quran chapter 12 as proof the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat meaning as proof humans do not have the power to change the word of God in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat because if humans could change the word of God it would be proof that God did not exist.
Before Ishmael Ismail was born God promised his mother Hagar Hajar that Ishmael Ismail would have many descendants in Torah Genesis 16:8 - 16:11 meaning before the story of the sacrifice God promised that both Ishmael Ismail and Isaac Ishaq would have children.
God told Abraham Ibrahim in a vision dream to sacrifice Isaac Ishaq (in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 12:6) who was the only son living with him (in Torah Genesis 22:2) meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living in Canaan today Palestine and Israel during.the vision dream (in Quran 38:48 where Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with the vision dream and Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with his father meaning the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim during the vision dream is Isaac Ishaq in the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 12:6).
Abraham Ibrahim passed the test because he did not reject God by saying “I will not sacrifice Isaac Ishaq because you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq” or “I will not sacrifice Isaac Ishaq because I already gave you Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar in the desert” instead Abraham Ibrahim showed that he would give both his sons to God and this is when God stopped the sacrifice and gave Isaac Ishaq a second time to Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:112.
The choice of a first born animal or a first born son in a sacrifice does not apply to God because it is God who has commanded this test of faith and it is God who can choose anyone to be the sacrifice.
Abraham Ibrahim did not have a choice about who to sacrifice but he could only obey or disobey what God commanded him to do in this test.
God stopped the test when Abraham Ibrahim showed that after he had given his first son Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to God in the desert he was willing to sacrifice Isaac Ishaq who was his only son who was still living with Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine during the vision dream.
By stopping the sacrifice God saved Isaac Ishaq and fulfilled the promise that Isaac Ishaq would have children as proof that God always fulfils His promises and to teach humans that God forbids human sacrifice in Quran 17:31, Quran 16:57 - 16:59, Quran 81:8 - 81:9, Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:3, Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Deuteronomy 24:16, Hosea 6:6, Jeremiah 7:22 - 7:23, Psalm 40:7 in Tanakh Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bibles and Micah 6:7 - 6:8.
The proof that God is real is the Quran and the Torah Taurat confirming and explaining each other because "Whoever has no faith in His (God’s) Books then he has strayed far away (from God, Quran 4:136)."
Most early Muslims believed the son to be sacrificed is Isaac Ishaq.
Most later Muslims believed the son to be sacrificed is Ishmael Ismail.
This means most early Muslims believed no one changed the Torah Taurat which confirms Quran 2:40 (telling the Jewish people to observe their covenant with God which is the Torah Taurat forever) and Quran 2:41 (telling the Jewish people that the Quran confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat) and most later Muslims believed the Torah Taurat was changed which contradicts Quran 2:40 (telling the Jewish people to observe their covenant with God which is the Torah Taurat forever) and Quran 2:41 (telling the Jewish people that the Quran confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat).

What is the Gospel Injil?
Jesus did not write anything because everything Jesus taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Jesus did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospels are four reports about Jesus meaning Jesus never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
The Quran tells the Christians to observe the Gospel and judge by the Gospel (not by the other books in the New Testament because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel).
Jesus in the Gospel says the Tanakh will exist forever and will never change (and this is the reason that Jesus did not add or subtract from what is in the Tanakh Jewish scripture) meaning anything in the Gospel which contradict the Tanakh did not come from God or from Jesus.
For example when Paul in his letter says the Torah is old and will soon disappear this is opposite to what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel where the Torah is forever and will not change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
Every prophet after Moses including Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad reminded the Jewish people to observe the Torah forever as the Torah has commanded them and as the Gospel and Quran reminds them..
Sometimes the Gospel contradicts the Tanakh however some publishers of the Gospels have added foot notes explaining problem verses in the past therefore Christians in the present or in future can add foot notes to show verses that cannot be true such as the claim that Jesus descended from David because it contradicts the Tanakh (where a person can only inherit a tribe like David biologically through the father and not by adoption and not through the mother and not by choice) which Jesus said will never change and must be followed forever in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
In the Quran Prophet Jesus did not claim he inherited the House of David because it is impossible for anyone without a biological father to inherit a tribe in Judaism.
There are no names on the original earliest four Gospel Injil manuscripts meaning the names Mark, Matthew, Luke and John were all added later meaning no one knows who wrote them.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Torah Taurat came from Jesus and whatever contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from God described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone (for example Mark, Matthew, Luke and John) who claims the word of God has changed.
1. In Quran 4:157 Jesus was not killed on the cross confirms the words of Jesus 3 days after the crucifixion in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father (God, meaning I have not yet died)” ...
2. In Quran 4:158 Jesus was saved on the cross with sleep when his soul ascended to heaven in Quran 39:42 and the way God would save Jesus on the cross is foreshadowed before the time of the crucifixion in the Gospel Injil as follows.
Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping",
Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..."
Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping."
Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned, and she stood up at once, and he ordered that she be given something to eat. (This was proof that she was alive and not dead and that she was a physical body who could eat food and not a resurrected spiritual body that does not need food meaning she was a physical body who woke up after sleep and not a spiritual body which was resurrected after death as described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:35 and 1 Corinthians 15:44).
3. In Quran 5:75 and Quran 3:144 is the natural death of Jesus 2000 years ago which is mentioned three days after the crucifixion in Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (God, meaning I have not yet died); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father (God, meaning Jesus will die like every human dies as proof to his people that he is human meaning do not let a miracle make you believe I am not a human like you) …”
4. In Quran 19:36 Jesus said “God is my Lord and your Lord” meaning Jesus is teaching his people that he is not God and this is said 3 days after the crucifixion in Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (God, meaning I have not yet died); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father (to my creator God, meaning Jesus will die like every human dies as proof to his people that he is human meaning do not let a miracle make you believe I am more than a human like you) and your Father (to your creator God); to my God (to my Lord) and your God (to your Lord).”
5. God chose the Israelites and gave them the Torah Taurat and told them to observe the Sabbath Day in all their generations forever meaning God decreed Judaism and the Torah Taurat forever so that the following might be fulfilled.
a. The Torah Taurat shows which verses in the Gospel Injil confirm the Torah Taurat meaning they came from Jesus and which verses in the Gospel Injil contradict the Torah Taurat meaning they came from Mark, Matthew, Luke or John in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.
b. In the same way God is testing Muslims in every generation in the story of the sacrifice in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.

4. Quran chapter 37. The story of the sacrifice.
https://sites.google.com/view/islamandthekoran/quran-chapter-37-surah-37
Non-canonical books like the Book of Enoch quoted in the Christian Bible are rejected in Judaism because in Tanakh angels always obey God meaning there are no fallen angels in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
Jesus did not write anything because everything Jesus taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Jesus did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture as God commanded for the Jewish people in Torah Deuteronomy 4:2.
Torah Deuteronomy 4:2 You (the children of Israel) shall not add to the word which I (God) command you, neither shall you diminish (take away) from it, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I (God) command you.
The four Gospels are four reports about Jesus meaning Jesus never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later by four unknown people called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.
The Quran tells the Christian to observe the Gospel and judge by the Gospel (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel) meaning anything from non-canonical books did not come from Jesus but came from Mark, Matthew, Luke or John in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Torah Taurat came from Jesus and whatever contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from God described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone (for example Mark, Matthew, Luke and John) who claims the word of God has changed.

The Gospels.
In the Gospel God is one God.
In the Gospel Jesus is human.
The estimated dates for the Gospel thanks to Wikipedia are:
1. The Gospel of Mark is dated 574 BH – 566 BH (65 to 73 CE) which is 32 to 40 years after Jesus.
2. The Gospel of Matthew is dated 569 BH – 538 BH (70 to 100 CE) which is 37 to 67 years after Jesus.
3. The Gospel of Luke is dated 559 BH – 538 BH (80 to 100 CE) which is 47 to 67 years after Jesus.
4. The Gospel of John is dated 548 BH – 528 BH (90 to 110 CE) which is 57 to 77 years after Jesus.
A. Jesus is the son of man meaning he is a human messenger of God and he is the son of God meaning he is the servant of God delivering the message of God so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of God and human messengers of God both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with God because only God knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses do not know the hour meaning pray only to God and not to the angel and human messengers of God.
.
B. “I and the father are one” describes all the messengers of God because they are the word of God made flesh (human). For example both Moses and Jesus are the word of God made flesh (human) because they are delivering the word of God which God has put into their mouth to deliver as described in Deuteronomy 18:18. Everyone who obeys God is “one with God.” and in the Gospels Jesus asks God to also make his disciples one with Him which confirms that the meaning of we are one is to obey God.
.
C. All power is with God and not with the messengers of God like Moses and Jesus.
Gospel of Matthew 20:23 He (Jesus) says to them, "My cup you will indeed drink, but to sit on my right or on my left is not mine to grant, but is only for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father (God)."
Note 1. Jesus says he can not grant a request because it is God (not Jesus) who determines every thing.
.
D. God warns that if anyone claims God has changed His word it cannot be true because God does not change His word because only humans change their word meaning if anything changes from what God revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture then you can know it came from humans and not from God.

The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to God as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus prayed to God in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to God.

The Gospel of John.
(Thanks to David Robert Palmer DRP).
Sam Voron SV comments and notes have been added to the DRP verses.
The SV comments and notes and the DRP verses are two different and independent works.
(In the SV comments and notes some verses have comments in brackets added by SV to explain their meaning).
The Gospel of John chapter 1 to 3.
The Word became flesh among us.
Comment:
The Word became flesh among us means that what God decreed was created.
Gospel of John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:1.
Gospel of John 1:1 In the beginning (before anything was created) was the Word (which God had decreed), and the Word (which God had decreed) was with God, and the Word (which God had decreed) was God (meaning everything is decreed by God).
(Note 1. Before anything was created God already existed.
(Note 2. Before anything was created God had decreed the past and the present and the future.
2. What is the word of God?
Quran 6:115 Koran 6:115 The Word of your Lord (God) is perfect in truth and justice and there is nobody that can change His (God’s) words. He (God) hears and knows (all things).
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct.
2-1. God knows the past present and future which is the Word that God has decreed.
Gospel of John 1:1 In the beginning (before anything was created) was the Word (which God had decreed) …”
2-2. God knows the past present and future which is the Word which is with God.
Gospel of John 1:1 “… the Word (which God had decreed) was with God …”
2-3. God knows the past present and future because everything is decreed by God.
Gospel of John 1:1 “… the Word (which God had decreed) was God (meaning everything is decreed by God).
3. Jewish Hebrew Bible Torah Genesis.
Torah Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (as God had decreed).
Torah Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God (the angel of God) hovered over the face of the waters.
(Note 1. God created the angels of God including the Holy Spirit of God before the Earth was created, see 3 and 4 below).
Torah Genesis 1:3 And God said (God decreed through the Holy Spirit): 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
(Note 1. God is not a human with a mouth that speaks so words like God “said” are only used so that humans might have some understanding of a creative living invisible power known as God who is the creator of every creation.
Torah Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, (saw) that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
(Note 1. God is not a human with eyes that see so words like God “saw” are only used so that humans might have some understanding of a creative living invisible power known as God who is the creator of every creation.
Torah Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He (God) called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, (which was) one day.
3. When were the angels created?
When were the angels of God created?
Jewish Hebrew Bible Job 28:4 Where were you (Job) when I (God) laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have the understanding (to this question).
Jewish Hebrew Bible Job 28:5 Who determined the measures (dimensions) thereof (the Earth, tell Me), if you know? Or who stretched the (measuring) line upon it (to construct the Earth)?
Jewish Hebrew Bible Job 28:6 Where on (it) were the foundations thereof (where the Earth was) fastened (attached)? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof (of the earth to start its construction),
Jewish Hebrew Bible Job 28:7 (Or who was it who laid the corner-stone to start the construction of the Earth) when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God (servants of God, the angels including the Holy Spirit) shouted for joy?
(Note 1. The sons of God meaning the servants of God (the angels of God including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel) saw the creation of the Earth.
(Note 2. The sons of God meaning the servants of God (the angels of God including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel) were created before the creation of the Earth.
(Note 3. God is not a human with a need for wives or daughters or sons so words like “son of God” are only used so that humans might have some understanding of the relationship between the creation and the creative living invisible power known as God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 4. After the creation of humans the Torah refers to the children of Israel as the son of God meaning the servants of God.
(Note 5. The Gospel is the story of one of the children of Israel named Jesus and so Jesus is called the son of God meaning that 2000 years ago from among the children of Israel God made Jesus to be a human prophet and messenger and messiah.
Jesus was the highest ranking human servant of God on the Earth in his time described as the “only begotten (created, authorized and favoured) son (servant) in his time 2000 years ago.
(Note 6. Warning about the title “Son of God.”
In the Quran God warns humans to never forget that son of God in the Torah and the Gospel means servant of God.
The reason for this warning is that some people have imagined that God has a real son and therefore they imagine that such a son must also be God.
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.
Quran 21:26 Koran 21:26 And they (some among the Jews of Yathrib, Arabia and some among the Christians) say, “The Most Merciful (God) has a (real) son.” However He (God) is exalted (far above having any need for a real son because God already owns everything), No (those among the Christians who say that Jesus is the son of God who will save the Christians in the hereafter and those among the Jews in Yathrib, Arabia who say that Ezra is the son of God who will save the Jews in the hereafter have made a mistake because the word son in the Torah and the Gospel means servant so), they (whom they call sons such as Jesus and Ezra) are honoured servants (of God, they are not God, they are servants of God).
(Note 1. Ezra the son of God means Ezra the servant of God.
1400 years ago some of the Jews in Yathrib Arabia today in Saudi Arabia claimed that Ezra would save the Jews from Hell fire in the Hereafter as a way of rejecting the need for Prophet Muhammad in the same way as 2000 years ago some of the Jews in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine claimed that they were faithful to Moses who was the prophet and messenger of God 3200 years ago as a way of rejecting the need for the prophet and messenger of God named Jesus.
However Moses said that a prophet and messenger of God would come after Moses.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them (the children of Israel) a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses Musa who delivered the Torah Taurat 3200 years ago when you were at Mount Sinai Horeb today in Egypt) from among their brothers brethren (The children of Israel are brothers and brethren to each other. The children of Esau are brothers and brethren to the children of Israel through Jacob Yaqub Israel who is the brother of Esau. The children of Ishmael Ismail are brothers and brethren to the children of Israel through Isaac Ishaq who is the brother of Ishmael Ismail and the father of Jacob Yaqub Israel. Esau and Ishmael Ismail are not one of the children of Israel. The children of Ishmael Ismail are the brethren and brother of the children of Isaac Ishaq which include the children of Israel in the same way as God says the children of Esau who are not the children of Israel are the brethren of the children of Israel in Torah Deuteronomy 2:4 – 2:8 and Prophet Moses Musa says the children of Esau who are not the children of Israel are the brother of the children of Israel in Torah Numbers 20:14. Those who descended from Prophet Abraham Ibrahim are brothers and brethren to each other and brothers and brethren in the religion of God because this is the religion of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel Jibril) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet (meaning prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger), who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command him” (to speak to you. Note that all the prophets and messengers of God are mentioned in Torah Deuteronomy 18:18. In Torah Genesis 25:9 “Isaac Ishaq and Ishmael Ismail his sons buried Abraham Ibrahim” meaning the children of Isaac Ishaq and the children of Ishmael Ismail are brothers and brethren to each other meaning the Hebrews and the Arabs are brothers and brethren to each other meaning the Jews and the Muslims are brothers and brethren to each other meaning everyone who follows the religion of God are brothers and brethren to each other as confirmed in Torah Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18 - 18:22 and Quran 5:68 and Quran 7:157);
(Note 2. Jesus the son of God means Jesus the servant of God.
1400 years ago some of the Christians claimed that Jesus would save the Christians from Hell fire in the Hereafter as a way of rejecting the need for Prophet Muhammad in the same way as 2000 years ago some of the Jews in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine claimed that they were faithful to Moses who was the prophet and messenger of God 3200 years ago as a way of rejecting the need for the prophet and messenger of God named Jesus.
However Jesus said that a prophet and messenger of God would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 (see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
Gospel of John 14:16 And I (Jesus the messenger of God) will ask the Father (God, what God has decreed), and he (God, answered Jesus through the Holy Spirit that God) will give you (humans) another Counselor (another Comforter, another prophet messenger so), that he (the guidance of that comforter, counsellor, messenger) may be ever (forever, through what that next messenger reveals, be left) with you (humans, this is forever because that prophet will be the last messenger of God),
(Note 3. Son of God in the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran means servant of God.
(Note 4. Quran 4:123 Koran 4:123 It (entry to Paradise in the hereafter) shall not be based on your (Muslim) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than God (in the hereafter).
(Note 5. Pray should be made only to God the creator and not to the servants of God because in the hereafter every creation will be a servant to God and every servant of God shall only say what God allows them to say therefore God is the master of every creation.
(Note 6. Quran 39:69 Koran 39:69 And the earth (meaning, the land in the hereafter) shall shine with the light of its Lord (God, when God shall come to judge men and women on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) and the Book (of their good and bad deeds) shall be shown. (In the judgement of each person) the Prophets (the messenger of God in the time of that person or the messenger of God that the person claimed to follow) and the witnesses (the Holy angels including the Holy Spirit and humans) shall be brought and it (the good and bad deeds of men and women) shall be judged between them (the Prophets and the witnesses and the Book of their good and bad deeds) with (the) truth (as God decreed) and they (those who are judged) shall not be wronged (by any incorrect judgement of what they did during their lifetime on the Earth).
(Note 7. The prophet who is the messenger of God that each person claimed to follow or who lived during their time will be present at their judgement on the Day of Judgement.
(Note 8. Quran 21:27 Koran 21:27 They (the created) speak not until He (God) has spoken, and they (the created) act by His (God’s) command.
(Note 9. Quran 21:28 Koran 21:28 He (God) knows what is before them (the present and the future) and what is behind them (the past), and they (the created) cannot intercede (in the hereafter on the Day of Judgement) except for the person whom He (God) approves, and they (the created) stand in fear of Him (God).
(Note 10. Quran 21:29 Koran 21:29 And if any of them (the created) should say, “(Worship and pray to me because) I am (also) a god next to Him (God)," such a creation (who demands worship and prayer which rightfully belongs only to God the creator) We (God) should reward (that creation) with Hell. This is how We (God) reward the wrongdoers.
(Note 11. Quran 17:60 Koran 17:60 “....We (God) warn (people) and make them afraid (of Hell in the hereafter) but (for some people) it only increases them in nothing but greater disobedience against God.
3-1. Who were the sons of God (the servants of God) before the earth was created?
Who were the sons of God (the servants of God) before humans existed?
The angels of God were created by God before the earth was created.
The angels of God are called the sons of God in the Torah because God created the angels and every creation is a servant of God.
A son (servant) obeys their father and so every son of God is a servant of God.
Every creation obeys God willingly or unwillingly and so every creation is a son of God meaning a servant of God.
Before the Earth existed God created angels and so angels were the ”sons” of God.
Before humans existed the servants of God were the angels of God.
Jewish Hebrew Bible Job 28:7 (Or who was it who laid the corner-stone to start the construction of the Earth) when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God (servants of God meaning the angels including the Holy Spirit) shouted for joy?
(Note 1. The sons of God meaning the servants of God (the angels of God including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel) saw the creation of the Earth.
(Note 2. The sons of God meaning the servants of God (the angels of God including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel) were created before the creation of the Earth.
4. Who is the Holy Spirit?
Gospel of Mark 1:10 And going up out of the water he (Jesus) immediately saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit (Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, Angel Gabriel) as a dove (like a bird, an angel) coming down to him (Jesus).
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit is an angel.
Gospel of Matthew 3:16 As soon as he (Jesus) was baptized (by John the Baptizer), Jesus came up out of the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Holy Spirit of God (angel Gabriel) coming down like a dove (a body with wings, an angel), coming onto him (Jesus).
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit of God is an angel of God.
Gospel of Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit (angel Gabriel) descended on him (Jesus) in the bodily form of a dove (a body with wings, an angel) …”
(Note 1. The Holy Ghost is an angel of God.
Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
(Note 1. This shows how God reveals himself through the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).
Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by God’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit is angel Gabriel.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit is angel Gabriel.
Gospel of John 1:51 He (Jesus) then says to him, "Truly, truly I (Jesus) say to you, you shall all see (the truthfulness of Jesus through the miracles that Jesus will perform, miracles that would only be possible with the) heaven torn open (by the order of God in Heaven), and the angels of God ascending and descending (with commands from God in Heaven that the angels fulfill on Earth and) on the Son of Man (Jesus who is the human prophet and messenger and messiah who speaks in the name of God. Jesus can speak in the name of God because God through the angels of God makes known to Jesus what God wills and God through the angels of God makes miracles on Earth as God wills)."
(Note 1. In the Torah every human is the son of man (Adam).
(Note 2. The Gospel is the story of one son of man (one human) named Jesus
(Note 3. The Holy Spirit angel Gabriel is the angel of God who stands closest in the presence (the favour) of God.
Torah Genesis 28:12 And he (Prophet Jacob, Israel) dreamed, and behold (saw) a ladder (pathway) set up on the earth, and the top of it (the ladder, pathway) reached to heaven; and behold (he saw) the angels of God ascending and descending on it (the ladder, pathway between Heaven and Earth).
(Note 1. God does everything on the Earth through the angels of God.
(Note 2. The Holy Spirit is one of the angels of God.
Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
(Note 1. God does everything on the Earth through the angels of God.

(Note 1. God does everything on the Earth through the angels of God.
(Note 2. The Holy Spirit is one of the angels of God.
(Note 3. Jesus knew the future in the same way as Moses knew the future.
(Note 4. Jesus made miracles in the same way as Moses made miracles.
See Gospel of John 1:50 comment.
Gospel of John 1:2 He was with God in the beginning.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:2.
Gospel of John 1:2 He (meaning everything that God had decreed) was with God in the beginning (meaning God decreed the past and the present and the future before anything was created).
Note 1. Before anything was created God had decreed the past and the present and the future.
Note 2. The decree of the past present and future for every creation was with God in the beginning.
Note 3. Jesus and the angels were not with God in the beginning because they do not know “the hour” in the Gospel of Mark 13:32 and the Gospel of Matthew 24:36.
Only God knows “the hour” meaning there is only one God who has no partners.
Jesus and the angels are created by God meaning Jesus and angels are the servants of God.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 "But as to that day or that hour (the time of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God, who is the Father of every creation).
Note 1. There is only one God because no one is equal to God not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 2. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like God.
In the Gospel Jesus is not God or part of God because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only God knows “the hour” meaning “God is one’ not three in one.
Note 3. If the teaching of God is "God is a Trinity" then God would say "no one knows the hour except God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit."
Note 4. If the teaching of God is "God is one with no other partner" then God would say "no one knows the hour not even the angels in heaven and not even Jesus, but only God knows."
2. What God decreed was with God in the beginning.
Every creation is decreed by God before the actions that describe the creation.
Jewish Hebrew Psalms 33:6 By the word of the LORD (God) were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His (God’s) mouth (meaning the heavens and earth were created by God’s decree before the actions that describe the making of the heavens and earth in Genesis 1:1).
(Note 1. The decree of God comes first before anything is created.
(Note 2. What God decrees is created instantly in the sight of God.
(Note 3. What God decrees is created in seconds, minutes, hours, years, millions of years and billions of years in the sight of humans.
Quran 3:3 Koran 3:3 It is He (God) who has sent down the Book (the Quran) to you (Prophet Muhammad) with truth, confirming what came before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah). And He (God, is the one who) sent down the Torah and the Gospel –
Quran 3:4 Koran 3:4 – in the past, as guidance to humans. And He (God) has sent down the judgements between right and wrong. ….”
3. If people asked Jesus to explain himself then Jesus would have said Jesus is not God because:
Gospel of John 3:27 John answered and said, "A human being (including John and Jesus and Moses) is not able to receive a thing that is not given to him from (God in) heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
Gospel of John 1:3 Through him all things were made, and without him not one thing was made that has been made.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:3.
Gospel of John 1:3 Through him (God) all things were made, and without him (God) not one thing was made that has been made.
(Note 1. There is not one creation that God has not created therefore God created every creation including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and Jesus who is a human and a prophet who foretells the future and a messenger who delivers the Gospel and a messiah anointed as a righteous servant of God.
2. No one can change the word of God means that no one can change what God has decreed.
Quran 30:30 Koran 30:30 So direct yourself (Prophet Muhammad) towards the religion (the belief in one creator) for which He (God who is the one and only creator) has created (religion for) humans. No one can alter what God has created (in religion, in the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran). That is the right religion (belief), but most people do not know (this).
Gospel of John 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light for humankind.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:4.
Gospel of John 1:4 In him (God) was life (that God had decreed), and (in) that life (that God had decreed there) was the light (of guidance) for humankind.
(Note 1. In the life that God created God included guidance for human behaviour that is delivered by the prophets of God who foretell the future and the messengers of God who deliver the Books of God (the Torah, Gospel and Quran).
2. What is the light?
The light is guidance for human behaviour.
Quran 29:46 Koran 29:46 And do not argue with the People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) except in the best way (by using good words and in a good manner), except with those of them that are wrongdoers. And say, “We (Muslims) believe in what has been revealed to us (Muslims in the Quran) and revealed to you (the Jews in your Torah and the Christians in your Gospel). Our (Muslim) God and your (Jewish and Christian) God is (the same) one (God) and to Him (God, the creator of every creation) we have submitted (ourselves as believers in Him the one and only God).”
(Note 1. The guidance sent down from God is that God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. The guidance sent down from God is that God is the creator of every human.
(Note 3. The Torah and Gospel and Quran are a light to guide human behaviour.
3. Who is the light?
Who is the light of guidance for human behaviour?
3-1. Before the time of Jesus 3200 years ago the light was Moses who was the messenger that delivered the Torah.
O People of the Scripture (the children of Israel), now Our (God’s) messenger (Prophet Messenger Moses) has come to you, revealing the Scripture (Torah). Now has come to you from God a light (Prophet Messenger Moses) and a clear Book (the Torah).
3-2. 2000 years ago the light was Jesus who was the messenger that delivered the Gospel.
O People of the Scripture (the Jews), now Our (God’s) messenger (Prophet Messenger Jesus) has come to you, revealing much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture (Torah) and much that you used to ignore (in the Torah). Now has come to you from God a light (Prophet Messenger Jesus) and a clear Book (the Gospel).
3-3. After the time of Jesus 1400 years ago the light was Muhammad who was the messenger that delivered the Quran.

And say, “We (Muslims) believe in what has been revealed to us (Muslims in the Quran) and revealed to you (the Jews in your Torah and the Christians in your Gospel).

(Note 1. The guidance sent down from God is that God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. The guidance sent down from God is that God is the creator of every human.
(Note 3. The Torah and Gospel and Quran are a light to guide human behaviour.
2-1. Before the time of Jesus 3200 years ago the light was the Torah from God which was delivered by Moses the messenger of God.

(Note 1. No one that is sent from God can be God.
(Note 2. Everyone who is sent from God is a servant of God.
2-1. Nothing that is a creation can be God.
No human can be God because humans are created by God.
God in the Torah revealed that God is not a human who repents for human sins.
Torah Numbers 23:19 (God said, through the month of Balaam) “God is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (God) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good. ..."
2-2. Nothing on the Earth can be God.
Everything on the Earth is a creation so it cannot be God.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
2-3. To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:7 (In the Ten Commandments of God the First commandment from God is) You shall have no other gods but Me (The one God).
Torah Deuteronomy 5:8 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God is) You shall not make any graven (man-made image, image carved on any surface such as on wood and stone and metal and glass, engraved images such as those made by scratching or cutting to make an) image (for worship or in a place of worship), even any image that looks like anything that is above you in heaven or that is on the Earth, or that is in the water or under the Earth.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:9 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) You shall not bow down to them (any human made image) nor serve them (meaning do not direct prayer to such an image, do not direct worship to such an image) because I the Lord your God am a jealous God (meaning pray to one God only) and I (God) give punishment to the father (who disobeys this command) and also to his children (who disobeys this command) and also to the third generation and to the fourth generation of them (the children of Israel) that hate me (by disobeying this command). (Continued in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10)
Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) - And showing mercy to the thousandth generation of them that love Me (God) and keep My (God’s) commandments.
(Note 1. The Second commandment of God continues stating that those that love God shall keep this commandment.
(Note 2. If humans lived for 100 years then the thousandth generation of humans would be in 100,000 years.
(Note 3. God made clear that no one can cancel the central commandment in the Torah which are the first two commandments given by God to Prophet Moses and followed by Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad.
Gospel of John 1:7 He came as a witness to testify about that light, so that through him all people might believe.
Comment:

1-1. 2000 years ago John was a prophet and a witness but not a messenger because John did not deliver a message from God except to confirm the coming of a prophet and a messenger known as the messiah.
Gospel of John 1:8 He himself was not the light; he came rather to bear witness to the light.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:8.
Gospel of John 1:8 He himself (Prophet John) was not the light; he (Prophet John) came rather to bear witness to the light (of the guidance of Jesus).
2. How does the word of God come to the Earth?
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).
Gospel of Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him (Jesus) in the bodily form of a dove (a body with wings, an angel) …”
Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by God’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”
3. Why was John not the light?
In the Gospel the light of guidance delivers the message from God in the Gospel which is guidance for the life of humans.
Gospel of John 5:35 That one (Prophet John) was a burning and shining lamp, and in his light you (people) were willing to exult (rejoice), for a time.
(Note 1. Jesus confirmed that John is a light of guidance because every prophet of God is a light however the light the Gospel is referring to is Jesus who is both a light as a prophet of God and a light as a messenger of God who delivered the light of the Gospel).
Gospel of John 5:36 "But I (Jesus the prophet and witness and messenger and messiah of God) have testimony weightier than that of (the prophet and witness) John. For the works which the Father (God) has given me (Jesus the prophet and witness and messenger and messiah of God) to finish, (and) the same works which I (Jesus) am doing, they testify about me (Jesus) that the Father (God) has sent me (Jesus as the prophet and witness and messenger and messiah of God).
(Note 1. Jesus confirmed that John is a light of guidance because every prophet of God is a light however the light the Gospel is referring to is Jesus who is both a light as a prophet of God and a light as a messenger of God who delivered the light of the Gospel).

Gospel of John 16:9 (God is sending another Comforter, Counselor, prophet and messenger after Jesus to explain the word of God) concerning sin (wrong doing), because they (the wrong doers) do not believe in me (Jesus who is the prophet and messenger and messiah);
3-4. 2000 years ago John was a prophet and a witness but not a messenger because John did not deliver a message from God except to confirm the coming of a prophet and a messenger known as the messiah.

Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:9.
Gospel of John 1:9 (Throughout history God has guided humans with prophets, messengers and messiahs, and 2000 years ago God sent another and so) the true light (from Jesus the messenger of God who delivered the Gospel), which gives light to every human being, was coming into the world.

(Note 1. Gospel of John 14:16 And I (Jesus the messenger of God) will ask the Father (God, what God has decreed), and he (God, answered Jesus through the Holy Spirit that God) will give you (humans) another Counselor (another Comforter, another prophet messenger so), that he (the guidance of that comforter, counsellor, messenger) may be ever (forever, through what that next messenger reveals, be left) with you (humans, this is forever because that prophet will be the last messenger of God),

Gospel of John 1:10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:10.
Gospel of John 1:10 (Throughout history God has guided humans with prophets, messengers and messiahs, and 2000 years ago God sent another and so) he (Jesus the messenger of God) was in the world, and though the world was made through him (God), the world did not recognize him (Jesus who was the messenger sent by God).
(Note 1. Throughout history whenever God sent a prophet messenger or messiah there were always people who either accepted or rejected God’s messenger.
(Note 2. Accepting a messenger of God is the same as believing in God because God’s messenger has been accepted.
(Note 3. Rejecting a messenger of God is the same as rejecting God because God’s messenger has been rejected.
1-1. The world did not recognize Jesus.
Gospel of John 1:10 (Throughout history God has guided humans with prophets, messengers and messiahs, and 2000 years ago God sent another and so) he (Jesus the messenger of God) was in the world, and though the world was made through him (God), the world did not recognize him (Jesus who was the messenger of God).

Gospel of John 16:9 (God is sending another Comforter, Counselor, prophet and messenger after Jesus to explain the word of God) concerning sin (wrong doing), because they (the wrong doers) do not believe in me (Jesus who is the prophet and messenger and messiah);
Quran 3:3 Koran 3:3 It is He (God) who has sent down the Book (the Quran) to you (Prophet Muhammad) with truth, confirming what came before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah). And He (God, is the one who) sent down the Torah and the Gospel –
Quran 3:4 Koran 3:4 – in the past, as guidance to humans. And He (God) has sent down the judgements between right and wrong. ….”
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct because God protects His word.
Quran 5:68 Koran 5:68 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia today in Medina, Saudi Arabia and to the Christians), “O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), You have nothing (no guidance, no religion) until you observe the Torah and the Gospel and what was revealed to you from your Lord (God).” ….”
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct because God commands humans to obey what is in the Torah and in the Gospel.
Quran 6:115 Koran 6:115 The Word of your Lord (God) is perfect in truth and justice and there is nobody that can change His (God’s) words. He (God) hears and knows (all things).
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct.
Quran 29:46 Koran 29:46 And do not argue with the People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) except in the best way (by using good words and in a good manner), except with those of them that are wrongdoers. And say, “We (Muslims) believe in what has been revealed to us (Muslims in the Quran) and revealed to you (the Jews in your Torah and the Christians in your Gospel).

(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct because God confirms God revealed them.
Quran 30:30 Koran 30:30 So direct yourself (Prophet Muhammad) towards the religion (the belief in one creator) for which He (God who is the one and only creator) has created (religion for) humans. No one can alter what God has created (in religion, in the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran). That is the right religion (belief), but most people do not know (this).
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct.
Quran 33:40 Koran 33:40 Prophet Muhammad is not the father of any man among you (meaning after the death of Prophet Muhammad no person can claim to inherit religious leadership of the Muslims based on their relationship with Prophet Muhammad as a way to mislead humans away from what Prophet Muhammad has revealed), but he (Prophet Muhammad) is the messenger of God and the Seal (the closure) of the Prophets (of God on this Earth meaning Prophet Muhammad is the end of the Prophets of God on this Earth meaning after the death of Prophet Muhammad no prophet will be sent to this earth so that no person can claim to be a prophet as a way to mislead humans away from what Prophet Muhammad has revealed. When something is sealed it is ended and finished and closed. The time of the prophets on this earth ended and finished and closed with the death of Prophet Muhammad. Quran 33:40 confirms the warning from God 2000 years ago that was delivered by Prophet Jesus Isa "not to believe anyone who says Prophet Jesus Isa has returned to this earth" in the Injil of Isa by Mark Gospel of Mark 13:5 -13:6 and 13:21 – 13:23 where God warns that Satan Shaitan "will deceive many to believe that Prophet Jesus Isa has returned to this earth." In Quran 33:40 prophets are prohibited from coming to this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad. There is nothing in the Quran about the Mahdi Mehdi or Dajjal Dijjal or the return of Prophet Jesus Isa to this earth because it contradicts the word of God in the Gospel Injil and in the Quran. Satan Shaitan cannot change the protected Books of God. Satan Shaitan can only hide and distort and corrupt the word of God in the human mind by whispering false hadith stories that contradict the Books of God. The deception of Satan Shaitan is so good that many people cannot see any contradiction between such false hadith stories and the words of God in the Quran) and God is aware of all things. (God saved the life of Prophet Jesus Isa with sleep in Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 making everyone believe Jesus Isa was dead on the cross because his body did not move and God returned the soul of Jesus Isa to this earth to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion in Quran 39:42 so that Prophet Jesus Isa could deliver the message in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 that Jesus Isa is not God by saying "God is my God and your God" meaning "God is my Father and your Father" meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed Jesus Isa on the cross or crucified Jesus Isa to death on the cross until the natural death of “Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam who both use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75 and in Quran 3:144 where “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 7:6 God shall question the messengers of God and in Quran 5:117 Prophet Jesus Isa will testify to God on the Day of Judgement that Prophet Jesus Isa died only one time when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine where he was raised only one time by the angel of death as confirmation of the truthfulness of both the Quran and the Gospel Injil which both confirm that God saved the life of Jesus Isa on the cross and that Jesus Isa after the crucifixion told the people that Jesus Isa is not God and continued to tell them Jesus Isa is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine. All the fabricated hadith stories about Prophet Jesus Isa returning to this earth in the time of the Mahdi Mehdi and the Dajjal Dijjal all contradict both the Quran and the Gospel Injil. These fabricated hadith stories are proof of the truth of the warnings from God in the Gospel Injil not to believe anyone who says Jesus Isa has returned to this earth in the Injil of Isa by Mark Gospel of Mark 13:5 -13:6 and 13:21 – 13:23 and the truth of Quran 33:40 where God has told humans that the time of the prophets of God on this earth is sealed meaning closed meaning no prophet will be allowed to come to this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad. The Quran confirms the Gospel Injil meaning Quran 33:40 confirms the Injil of Isa by Mark Gospel of Mark 13:5 -13:6 and 13:21 – 13:23 as proof that no one can change the written word of God. Fabricated hadith stories about Jesus Isa returning to this earth contradict the Quran and the Gospel Injil and show how Satan Shaitan only has power to distort hide and corrupt the meaning of the written words of God inside the human mind. Satan Shaitan gave the same deception to Christians in the false hadith story that Jesus Isa is God which contradicts everything that is in the four Injil of Isa Gospel of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John that is with the Christians today as proof that God has protected the Gospel Injil which is with the Christians today because no one can change the written word of God. Humans who live for 100 years think they have more wisdom than Satan Shaitan who has deceived for millions of years. The deception of Satan Shaitan is so good that some people cannot see any contradiction between what Satan Shaitan has whispered in unprotected false hadith stories and what is said in the protected Books of God the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran which are with all humans today. Some people believe false hadith stories about Jesus Isa returning to this earth and other people believe false hadith stories that Jesus is God and some people do not believe all the Books of God the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran which are with all humans today. Satan Shaitan whispers to people in every religion “do not believe any book except your book” because Satan Shaitan knows that people who have no faith in all the Books of God that are with all humans today are the easiest people for Satan Shaitan to deceive and this is confirmed in Quran 4:136 where God has warned that whoever has no faith in God’s Books has strayed far away from God. In this way God shows who has faith that God has protected all His Books that are with all humans today and who believe that the books of God have been corrupted except their own book. The proof of God is that the Torah Taurat with the Jews today and the Gospel Injil with the Christians today and the Quran with the Muslims today in Quran 3:3 are protected as confirmed in Quran 6:115 and Quran 10:64. Those in every religion who believe only their Book is protected and all other humans have corrupted Books unknowingly give the proof that God does not exist because God did not protect His word in all the Books of God which are with humans today contradicting Quran 2:41, Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:68 as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA ).
God saved Jesus Isa from death on the cross in Quran 4:157 and 4:158 so that Jesus Isa could continue his life and then die 2000 years ago like every human before him and after him has died in Quran 5:75 and 3:144. The natural death of Jesus Isa 2000 years ago is proof to the people in his time that Jesus Isa is human like every other human and he is not God or an equal partner with God.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died) …”
Quran 3:144 Koran 3:144 Prophet Muhammad is no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Muhammad) have passed away (meaning died) ….”
Quran 61:8 Koran 61:8 They (the people who do wrong) wish to extinguish the light of God (in the Torah, Gospel and Quran) with their mouths (by saying things about God that are not true) but God shall perfect His (God’s) light (of guidance in the Quran) no matter how much the disbelievers (who worship stone statues in Mecca, Arabia today in Saudi Arabia) dislike it.

Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:11.
Gospel of John 1:11 He (Jesus the Jew who was from the children of Israel) came to that which was his own (people, that is the children of Israel), and his own (religious authorities among the children of Israel) did not receive him (Jesus as a messenger of God because the religious authorities were more interested in Earthly matters than in Heavenly matters).

Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:32.
Gospel of John 1:32 Then John testified, saying: "I have seen the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove (a bird, a body with wings, an angel, angel Gabriel Jibril who stands in the presence of God in the Gospel of Luke 1:19 who came to Jesus Isa in the Gospel of Mark 1:10, Gospel of Luke 3:22, Gospel of Matthew 3:16, Gospel of John 1:32 like a dove meaning a bird, a body with wings, an angel. What stands in the presence of God is called Holy. This is why angel Gabriel Jibril is called the Holy Spirit in the same way as land in the presence of God is called Holy land or Holy ground. Angel Gabriel Jibril is called the Spirit and the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God in the Gospel of Mark 1:10 and the Gospel of John 1:32 where the dove is “the Spirit” meaning the angel and in the Gospel of Luke 3:22 where the dove is “the Holy Spirit” meaning the Holy angel and in the Gospel of Matthew 3:16 where the dove is “the Spirit of God” meaning the angel of God. Angel Gabriel in the form of a man came with news for Mary in the Gospel of Luke 1:35 and returned in his true form as “a dove,” a bird, a body with wings, an angel, the Holy Spirit in the form of an angel who stands in the presence of God and delivered the soul of Jesus to the womb of Mary and confirmed in Quran 2:97, Quran 16:102 and Quran 53:4 – 53:5), and it remained on him (Jesus).

Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”

Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (God) have said to you (Pharaoh), “Let My son (meaning My servant) go so that he may serve Me (God) and you (Pharaoh) have refused to let him go…”)
(Note 1. In the Torah all the children of Israel are called the son of God meaning the servant of God because they believe in God.

(Note 3. The Gospel is the story of one of the children of Israel named Jesus who is a son of God meaning a servant of God.
Gospel of John 1:12 But to all who did receive him (Jesus the messenger of God), to those believing on his name (the prophet and messenger and messiah Jesus), he (God) gave the right to become children of God (meaning servants of God, believers of God, slaves of God, those who are obedient to God) -
(Note 1. Everyone who believes in God and his messengers are called children of God meaning servants of God.
(Note 2. In the time of Jesus and after the time of Jesus the children of God meaning the servant of God is any person who believes and obeys God.
(Note 3. 2000 years ago Jesus was the only begotten son (the only begotten servant) meaning that Jesus was given the highest authority of a prophet messenger and messiah to speak in the name of God to the generation of people who lived in his time 2000 years ago.

John and Andrew have found the Messiah.
Gospel of John 1:35 The next day, again, John was standing with two of his disciples.
Gospel of John 1:36 And seeing Jesus walking, he says, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 1:36.
Gospel of John 1:36 And seeing Jesus walking, he (Prophet John) says, "Behold (See), the Lamb of God (Jesus who devotes his life in the service of God)!"
Gospel of John 1:29 The next day he (Prophet John) sees Jesus (the prophet messenger and messiah) coming toward him (John), and says, "Behold! (See) The lamb of God (Jesus who devotes his life in the service of God), who takes away the sin of the world (by teaching humans to repent for sin and to pray to God asking for forgiveness)!
2. What is the Lamb of God?
The command to sacrifice the son of Abraham was a test of the faith of Abraham in God.
God cancelled the sacrifice of the son of Abraham and God provided an animal to be sacrificed to God as a replacement to human sacrifice.
The Torah shows that God does not require the sacrifice of human life as a way to forgive human sin.
The Quran confirms that God does not require the sacrifice of human life as a way to forgive human sin because God is the most kind and the most merciful and God is ready to forgive the sin of those who sincerely repent and pray to God asking forgiveness for their wrong doing.
Gospel of John 1:37 The two disciples heard him saying this, and they followed Jesus.
Gospel of John 1:38 And Jesus turned around; and seeing them following, says to them, "What do you want?" And they said to him, "Rabbi," (which when translated is Teacher), "where are you staying?"

Gospel of John 1:49 Nathaniel answered him, "Rabbi (teacher), you are the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God), you are the King of Israel (the leader of Israel because Jesus is the prophet messenger and messiah sent to the children of Israel by God)."
Gospel of John 1:50 Jesus answered and said to him, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You shall see greater things than that."
Comment:
1. How could Jesus know what Jesus knew?
The Torah, Gospel and Quran explain how God through the Holy Spirit revealed knowledge to Jesus 2000 years ago in the same way as God through the Holy Spirit has revealed knowledge to the other prophets messengers and messiahs of God throughout human history.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).
Gospel of Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him (Jesus) in the bodily form of a dove (a body with wings, an angel) …”
Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by God’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”
1-1. Jesus knew what Jesus knew in the same way as Moses knew what Moses knew.
Jesus knew the future in the same way as Moses knew the future.
Jesus made miracles in the same way as Moses made miracles.
1. God through Prophet Moses turned the hand of Moses leprous (white as snow) and when Prophet Moses showed his hand again it was normal.
2. God through the rod of Prophet Moses swallowed the rods of the Egyptian magicians.
3. God through Prophet Moses turned the river of Egypt into blood.
4. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of frogs to Egypt.
5. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of gnats (mosquitoes) to Egypt.
6. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of flies to Egypt.
7. God through Prophet Moses brought death to all the cattle of horses, asses and camels in Egypt.
8. God through Prophet Moses (Musa) brought boils with blisters on all the Egyptian people and the beasts in Egypt.
9. God through Prophet Moses brought a hail storm that destroys every Egyptian person, beast and crop that was in the open fields.
10. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of locusts to Egypt to eat all the vegetation and fruits that the hail had not destroyed.
11. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of thick darkness that Egyptians could feel and nothing could be seen for 3 days.
12. God through Prophet Moses took away the life of every first born Egyptian and every first born of cattle in Egypt which God said shall never happen again.
13. God through Prophet Moses divided the waters of the Red Sea to make a dry path across the Red Sea for the Children of Israel to escape from the Pharaoh and his Army.
14. God through Prophet Moses made the waters of the Red Sea drown the Pharaoh and his Army when they chased after the Children of Israel across the path that God had divided.
15. God through Prophet Moses made food fall out of the sky every morning.
16. God through Prophet Moses made water come out of a stone.
The power shown by Moses, Jesus and the other prophets, messengers and messiahs were given to humans by God as a sign of their truthfulness.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 The messengers We (God through the Holy Spirit revealed to Prophet Muhammad) endowed with gifts, some (with) more (gifts) than others. To some of them (like Prophet Moses) God spoke and to others (like Prophet Enoch) He (God) raised their rank (of honour). To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God reveal to Prophet Muhammad through the Holy Spirit that Jesus) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and (God) strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost). …”
Quran 13:38 Koran 13:38 And We (God) sent messengers before you (Prophet Muhammad), and We (God) gave them wives and children (and you Prophet Muhammad are a human like them), and it was not for any messenger to bring a sign except by God’s permission (because a messenger is only the servant of God). For every period of time there is a decree (a Book brought through a messenger that reveals God’s judgements and explanations as a guidance to strengthen the faith of the people who believe that God is the creator of every creation).
Quran 7:133 Koran 7:133 (Moses warned the Pharaoh with many miracles but the Pharaoh did not believe) So We (God) sent them (the Pharaoh of Egypt and his people) the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs and the blood as a succession of clear signs (plagues one after the other from God to them). But they were arrogant and became a guilty people (because they ignored God’s warnings).
(Note 1. The Quran is confirmed in Torah Exodus 4:5 – 4:7, 7:8 – 12:29).
Quran 17:103 Koran 17:103 And he (the Pharaoh) pursued them (the Children of Israel) out of the land (and across the Red Sea which God had divided to make a dry path that allowed the children of Israel to escape) and We (God) drowned him (the Pharaoh) and those with him (the Egyptian Army, when God returned the Red Sea to its normal position and drown the Pharaoh and his Army).
(Note 1. The Quran is confirmed in Torah Exodus 12:37 – 12:42, 13:17 – 14:31).
2. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?
2000 years ago in the time of Jesus in Judea no one believed that Jesus was God.
In the time of Jesus all the believers in Jesus believed that Jesus was a human prophet messenger and messiah of God because in the Torah many prophets and messengers and messiahs had come before Jesus.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.
In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was God because every Jew who believed in God knew that God is the creator of every creation.
If no one believed that Jesus was God in the time of Jesus then why would anyone believe that Jesus was God 2000 years later?
The Gospel says that Jesus is a messenger of God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel says that Jesus is human so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel does not say that Jesus is God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
In the Torah God punishes humans for worshiping anything that is a creation because this is idol worship that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of God.
Gospel of John 3:2 He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you (Jesus) are a teacher who has come from God. For no one would be able to do these miraculous signs you (Jesus) are doing, unless God were with him."
Gospel of John 4:19 “… "Sir, I am perceiving that you (Jesus) are a prophet (of God because only a prophet of God could correctly know what no one else could know).
Gospel of Luke 24:19 And he (Jesus) said to them (the followers of Jesus), "What things?" And they (the followers of Jesus) said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people (who believe in God and in Prophet Jesus);
Gospel of John 20:13 And they (the two angel of God) say to her (Mary Magdalene), "Woman, why are you weeping?" She (Mary Magdalene) says to them, "They (some people) have taken my Lord (Master’s body, teacher’s body) away, and I (Mary Magdalene) don't know where they have put him (the body of Jesus)."
(Note 1. When Jesus was thought to have died on the cross Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 20:16 Jesus says to her, "Mary." She (Mary Magdalene) when she (Mary Magdalene) turned around, says to him (Jesus) in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher).
(Note 1. When Jesus was seen alive 3 days after Jesus was on the cross Jesus was called teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 20:28 Thomas responded and said to him (Jesus), "My Lord (it is you! You are alive! Meaning Rabbouni the lord in Gospel of John 20:16-20:18 where Mary tells everyone she has seen Rabbouni the lord not the lord God) and my God (thank you for saving the life of Jesus and returning Jesus back to us.” When something amazing happens the Jewish people thank God. Today when something amazing happens people say “My God”).
Note 1. In Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus told Mary to tell all his disciples that God is “my Father and your Father” meaning my creator and your creator and God is “my God and your God” meaning my lord and your lord and Jesus taught the Jewish Scripture where “God is not a man” so 2000 years ago no Jew who talked with Jesus was thinking that Jesus was God.
Note 2. Jesus was doing miracles like Moses did miracles so to Jews who talked with Jesus he was a prophet who did what some prophets did in the past.
Note 3. If someone told you that Jesus is alive and his message is “God is my Father and your Father” meaning Jesus is not God and “God is my God and your God” meaning Jesus is not God and you did not believe Jesus was alive like Thomas you would be very surprised to see Jesus alive and today someone in that same situation might say “my God” in surprise or the religious might say "My Lord (Jesus you are alive) and my God (thank you for saving the life of Jesus and returning Jesus back to us)."
Note 4. Lord means master.
Messiah king David is called lord meaning master.
In the Tanakh Hebrew scripture the first “LORD” in Psalm 110:1 is the name of God but the second lord means master and refers to messiah king David.
Psalm 110:1 The LORD (God) said to my lord (messiah king David): 'you sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.'
Note 5. The Gospel teaches that God (the creator of every creation) is not a Trinity with Jesus (a human) nor with the Holy spirit of God (the holy angel of God).
Gospel of Mark 13:32 "But as to that day or that hour (the time of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God, who is the Father of every creation).
1. If God is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know “the hour”.
2. If God is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and God know “the hour.”
3. In the Gospel Jesus is not God because Jesus does not know “the hour” meaning the teaching that Jesus is God or part of God contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.
4. There is only one God because no one is equal to God not Jesus and not the angels.
5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like God.
In the Gospel Jesus is not God or part of God because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only God knows “the hour” meaning “God is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. In the time of Prophet Jesus no one believed that Jesus is God because Jesus was delivering the words of God like the prophets before him who all confirmed that
"God is not a man" in Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29 and Hosea 11:9 and
"God is not the son of man" in Numbers 23:19 and
"Do not liken anyone or anything to God" in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5 and
The warning from messiah king David that “there is no salvation in the son of man” in Psalm 146:3.
Meaning Jesus is not God in the sight of all the people who saw him 2000 years ago.
The Jewish people 2000 year ago and today understood and understand the meaning of Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Hosea 11:9, Numbers 23:19, Isaiah 40:25, Isaiah 46:5 and Psalm 146:3 which is explained above and that “God is one” which is the First of the Ten Commandments of God is not the same as “God is three in one” because adding “three in one” violates the commandment of God in Deuteronomy 4:2 "not to add or subtract" to what God has commanded in the Torah for 100,000 years which is the thousandth generation if each generation lived for 100 years in Deuteronomy 5:10 meaning forever in Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible meaning no one can add or subtract to the commandment that “God is one” by adding “God is three in one” because God has forbidden anyone from doing such a thing so that people can judge true prophets who confirm the word of God from false prophets and dreamers of false dreams who add or subtract from the word of God especially in the first and most important of the Ten Commandments of God that “God is one” not “three in one.”
Gospel of John 21:7 So that disciple whom Jesus loved (named John) says to Peter, "It is the Lord (our master and teacher Jesus) …”
(Note 1. When Jesus was seen alive more than 3 days after Jesus was on the cross Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
A. Jesus is the son of man meaning he is a human messenger of God and he is the son of God meaning he is the servant of God delivering the message of God so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of God and human messengers of God both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with God because only God knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses do not know the hour meaning pray only to God and not to the angel and human messengers of God.
B. “I and the father are one” describes all the messengers of God because they are the word of God made flesh (human). For example both Moses and Jesus are the word of God made flesh (human) because they are delivering the word of God which God has put into their mouth to deliver as described in Deuteronomy 18:18. Everyone who obeys God is “one with God.” and in the Gospels Jesus asks God to also make his disciples one with Him which confirms that the meaning of we are one is to obey God.
C. All power is with God and not with the messengers of God like Moses and Jesus.
Gospel of Matthew 20:23 He (Jesus) says to them, "My cup you will indeed drink, but to sit on my right or on my left is not mine to grant, but is only for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father (God)."
Note 1. Jesus says he can not grant a request because it is God (not Jesus) who determines every thing.
D. Regarding what was revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture. God warns that if anyone claims God has changed His word it cannot be true because God does not change His word because only humans change their word meaning if anything changes from what God revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture then you can know it came from humans and not from God.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and God. The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to God as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus prayed to God in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to God.

2-1. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Jesus is a human prophet messenger and messiah of God.
To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Why did stone idol worshippers believe that stone statues are god and some Christians believe that wooden statues of Jesus are God and some Jews disbelieve in Jesus?
See Gospel of John 3:2 comment.
2-2. No one including Jesus knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 (Jesus who was the prophet and messenger of God 2000 years ago said) "But as to that day or that hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God who is the creator of every creation).
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 (Jesus who was the prophet and messenger of God 2000 years ago said) But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (God) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God).
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Jesus that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
Quran 6:59 Koran 6:59 (Muhammad who was the prophet and messenger of God 1400 years ago said) And with Him (God) are the keys of the unseen (future). None but He (God) knows them (the future). And He (God) knows what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falls that He (God) does not know about. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything fresh (and green) or dry (and wilted), that is not (inscribed by God) in a clear record (called the Book of the Decrees of God).
(Note 1. Only God knows everything.
Humans including Jesus and Muhammad and angels including the Holy Spirit are servants of God they are not God.
Quran 7:187 Koran 7:187 They ask you (Prophet Muhammad) about The Hour (of the Day of Resurrection) and when it shall come. Say, “Knowledge of this is with my Lord (God) only. He (God) alone shall make it happen at the proper time. It lays heavily on the heavens and the earth (because of the greatness of that event). It shall come to you suddenly. They question you as if you might be well informed of it. Say, “Knowledge of it is with God only, but most of the people do not know that (because they think others have this knowledge).”
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Muhammad that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Moses and Jesus and Muhammad are not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both the humans (Moses and Jesus and Muhammad) and the angels (the Holy Spirit of God angel Gabriel) are created by God.
2-3. Nothing that is a creation can be God.
No human can be God because humans are created by God.
God in the Torah revealed that God is not a human who repents for human sins.
Torah Numbers 23:19 (God said, through the month of Balaam) “God is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (God) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good. ..."
2-4. Nothing on the Earth can be God.
Everything on the Earth is a creation so it cannot be God.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
2-5. To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:7 (In the Ten Commandments of God the First commandment from God is) You shall have no other gods but Me (The one God).
Torah Deuteronomy 5:8 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God is) You shall not make any graven (man-made image, image carved on any surface such as on wood and stone and metal and glass, engraved images such as those made by scratching or cutting to make an) image (for worship or in a place of worship), even any image that looks like anything that is above you in heaven or that is on the Earth, or that is in the water or under the Earth.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:9 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) You shall not bow down to them (any human made image) nor serve them (meaning do not direct prayer to such an image, do not direct worship to such an image) because I the Lord your God am a jealous God (meaning pray to one God only) and I (God) give punishment to the father (who disobeys this command) and also to his children (who disobeys this command) and also to the third generation and to the fourth generation of them (the children of Israel) that hate me (by disobeying this command). (Continued in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10)
Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) - And showing mercy to the thousandth generation of them that love Me (God) and keep My (God’s) commandments.
(Note 1. The Second commandment of God continues stating that those that love God shall keep this commandment.
(Note 2. If humans lived for 100 years then the thousandth generation of humans would be in 100,000 years.
(Note 3. God made clear that no one can cancel the central commandment in the Torah which are the first two commandments given by God to Prophet Moses and followed by Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad.

Jesus is a created human prophet messenger messiah and servant of God.
1-4. What is the religion of human idol worship?
The belief that a creation such as a human can be God is the belief in human idol worship which God forbids in the Torah.
Torah Numbers 23:19 (God said, through the month of Balaam) “God is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (God) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good. ..."

1-5. No one including Jesus knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 (Jesus who was the prophet and messenger of God 2000 years ago said) "But as to that day or that hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God who is the creator of every creation).
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 (Jesus who was the prophet and messenger of God 2000 years ago said) But as for that day and hour (the hour of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (God) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God).
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Jesus that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
Quran 6:59 Koran 6:59 (Muhammad who was the prophet and messenger of God 1400 years ago said) And with Him (God) are the keys of the unseen (future). None but He (God) knows them (the future). And He (God) knows what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falls that He (God) does not know about. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything fresh (and green) or dry (and wilted), that is not (inscribed by God) in a clear record (called the Book of the Decrees of God).
(Note 1. Only God knows everything.
Humans including Jesus and Muhammad and angels including the Holy Spirit are servants of God they are not God.
Quran 7:187 Koran 7:187 They ask you (Prophet Muhammad) about The Hour (of the Day of Resurrection) and when it shall come. Say, “Knowledge of this is with my Lord (God) only. He (God) alone shall make it happen at the proper time. It lays heavily on the heavens and the earth (because of the greatness of that event). It shall come to you suddenly. They question you as if you might be well informed of it. Say, “Knowledge of it is with God only, but most of the people do not know that (because they think others have this knowledge).”
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Muhammad that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Moses and Jesus and Muhammad are not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both the humans (Moses and Jesus and Muhammad) and the angels (the Holy Spirit of God angel Gabriel) are created by God.
1-6 Jesus is not God because no servant can have two masters such as Jesus and God or three masters such as Jesus the Holy Spirit and God.
Quran 21:29 Koran 21:29 And if any of them (humans) should say, “(Worship and pray to me because) I am (also) a god next to Him (God)," such a creation (who demands worship and prayer which rightfully belongs only to God the creator) We (God) should reward (that creation) with Hell. This is how We (God) reward the wrongdoers.
(Note 1. Making a human to be God or a partner with God is called human idol worship because no human can equally pray to two masters because one master you will love more than the other master.
Gospel of Luke 16:13 "No house slave is able to serve two masters (such as God the creator and Jesus the creation); for he would either spurn the one and love the other, or devote himself to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God (the creator) and Wealth (a creation)."
(Note 2. Jesus prayed to God only.
(Note 3. Jesus taught humans to pray only to God.
(Note 4. Jesus never told his disciples to pray to Jesus when they wanted to make a miracle but to pray to God in the name of Jesus saying “I pray to God in the name of Jesus (who is the messenger of God and I ask you God to show the people our truthfulness by permitting us to show a miracle in the same way you allowed Jesus to show his truthfulness by permitting him to show miracles)”
(Note 5. Jesus told his disciples to pray to God in the name of Jesus but that does not mean that his disciples were Jesus or God and in the same way when Jesus made revelations in the name of God that did not mean that Jesus was God.
(Note 6. When the disciples of Jesus prayed to God in the name of Jesus they were requesting that God grant them permission to show miracles in the same way that God had granted Jesus permission to show miracles because the disciples were ordered to continue the work that Jesus had given them.
(Note 7. When Jesus makes revelations in the name of God Jesus is not claiming to be God but Jesus is delivering the message that God through the Holy Spirit has told Jesus to deliver.
Quran 21:22 Koran 21:22 Had there been more than one God, both (the heavens and the Earth) would have been ruined (because of the rivalry between them). Exalted is God, Lord of the Throne (of authority) who is far above what they attribute (to God when people say God has a real wife as a partner or a real son as a partner or a real daughter as a partner or a real mother as a partner).
1-7. After Jesus God sent another prophet to correct the confusion between God and Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 (see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
Quran 9:31 Koran 9:31 They (some among the Jews in Yathrib, Arabia) have taken their rabbis (Ezra) and (some among the Christians have taken) their monks (saints) and the Messiah (Jesus) as lords that are equal to God (because they pray to humans instead of God who created every human) but they (the Jews and the Christians) were commanded to worship (only) one God (in both the Torah and the Gospel). There is no God except Him (God). All praise and glory belong to God (the creator) who is above (greater than) whatever (human creations) they associate with Him (God), (when they mistakenly put their faith in Ezra and Saints and Jesus instead of God who is the creator and the judge of every creation including the rabbis, monks, saints, prophets, messengers and messiahs).
(Note 1. Ezra the son of God means Ezra the servant of God.
1400 years ago some of the Jews in Yathrib Arabia today in Saudi Arabia claimed that Ezra would save the Jews from Hell fire in the Hereafter as a way of rejecting the need for Prophet Muhammad in the same way as 2000 years ago some of the Jews in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine claimed that they were faithful to Moses who was the prophet and messenger of God 3200 years ago as a way of rejecting the need for the prophet and messenger of God named Jesus.
However Moses said that a prophet and messenger of God would come after Moses.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
(Note 2. Jesus the son of God means Jesus the servant of God.
1400 years ago some of the Christians claimed that Jesus would save the Christians from Hell fire in the Hereafter as a way of rejecting the need for Prophet Muhammad in the same way as 2000 years ago some of the Jews in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine claimed that they were faithful to Moses who was the prophet and messenger of God 3200 years ago as a way of rejecting the need for the prophet and messenger of God named Jesus.
However Jesus said that a prophet and messenger of God would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 (see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
Gospel of John 14:16 And I (Jesus the messenger of God) will ask the Father (God, what God has decreed), and he (God, answered Jesus through the Holy Spirit that God) will give you (humans) another Counselor (another Comforter, another prophet messenger so), that he (the guidance of that comforter, counsellor, messenger) may be ever (forever, through what that next messenger reveals, be left) with you (humans, this is forever because that prophet will be the last messenger of God),
The good news message from God for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad.
1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.
3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.
4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.

See Gospel of John 2:22 comment.
Gospel of John 2:22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Comment:
1. Jesus believed he would be killed.
Jesus believed Jesus would be killed just as the son of Abraham believed he would also be killed.
2. The prophet after Jesus confirms that everyone who saw Jesus on the cross believed Jesus was dead.
Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 “… it was made to appear so (so they believed he was dead on the cross because his body was not moving but in fact he was still alive and sleeping on the cross as explained in Quran 4:158 and 39:42) …”
(Note 1. After Jesus God sent another prophet to correct the confusion between God and Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 (see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
(Note 2. Every human is tested by God and like the story of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham God also tested and protected Jesus who was the son (son means the servant, the slave, Jesus the prophet messenger and messiah) of God.
(Note 3. For everyone who loves Jesus what could be better news from the prophet after Jesus than to know that God tested Jesus with death like God tested Abraham and his son with death and God protected Jesus with sleep as shown when Jesus was seen three days after the crucifixion in excellent health just as God had protected the son of Abraham from death.
The good news message from God for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad.
1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.
3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.
4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.

Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 And they (some of the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) said (showing their pride and their disbelief by threatening and mocking the messenger Prophet Muhammad and his followers by boasting), "We killed messiah Jesus Isa, the son of Mary Maryam, the messenger of God," but (in fact) they did not kill him (on the cross) nor crucify him (to death on the cross), but it was made to appear so to them (so they believed he was dead on the cross because his body was not moving but in fact he was still alive and sleeping on the cross as explained in Quran 4:158 and 39:42) and those (Jews of Yathrib Arabia) who differ in this (in what happened to Prophet Jesus Isa on the cross) are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge so they (the Jews of Yathrib) follow only conjecture (assumptions, speculation, guess). It is certain that they (the Jews) did not kill him (because God protected Prophet Jesus Isa from the death of crucifixion in 607 BH 33 CE 33 AD on Friday 3 April 33 in Jerusalem Al-Quds Yerussalem Yerushalayim in Judea today in Israel and Palestine and this is confirmed in the Gospel Injil where Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion teaching that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross. 2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping", Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..." and the Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned, and she stood up at once, and he ordered that she be given something to eat. This was proof that she was alive and not dead. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
(Note 1. Just as 2000 years ago some Roman soldiers in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine mocked Jesus to show their disbelief in Jesus in the same way some of the Jews of Yathrib Arabia today in Saudi Arabia mocked Jesus 1400 years ago to show their disbelief in both Jesus and Muhammad.
See Gospel of John 19:3.
(Note 2. God protected the life of Jesus from the death of crucifixion by giving sleep to the body of Jesus and raising the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God just as every human soul is raised to heaven and to God during sleep.
(Note 3. God saved Jesus by making the body of Jesus fall into sleep on the cross so although it appeared that Jesus had died on the cross from the death of crucifixion as is correctly described in the Gospel by those who saw it infact God saved Jesus from the death of crucifixion by God giving sleep to the body of Jesus as is revealed by the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John.
(Note 4. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
(Note 5. The proof that Jesus was not killed or crucified to death is that Jesus was seen alive three days after the crucifixion.
God returned the soul of Jesus to the Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
See Gospel of John 16:11 comment 30. The judgement: The plot to kill Jesus the messenger of God.
(Note 6. God does not return the soul of a dead person to the Earth except in brief visions or dreams or to show the truthfulness of God.
See 1. Gospel of John 16:11 comment 32 to 32-5. The Judgement: Jesus will not return to the Earth but Jesus will return to the land (the earth) in the hereafter on the Day of Resurrection.
See 2. Gospel of John 16:16 comment 3. Jesus is the prophet of God who foretells the future and Jesus is the messenger of God who reveals a warning to humans not to believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to the Earth.
Gospel of John 10:18 No one takes it (my life) from me (Jesus); I lay it down (my life) of myself (voluntarily as God has ordered Jesus to do). I (Jesus) have authority (from God) to lay it down (on the cross where humans shall try to kill Jesus through crucifixion) and I (Jesus) have authority (by the order of God) to take it (my life) up again (as proof that no one killed Jesus); this order I have received from my Father (God).
(Note 1. In the Gospel Jesus said no one takes my life from me because Jesus is obeying the orders of God.
(Note 2. The Gospel confirms no one killed Jesus because Jesus was alive three days later.
2-1. How could Jesus be not dead but sleeping on the cross?
How could Jesus be alive on the cross as revealed by the prophet after Jesus?
The prophet after Jesus would reveal that Jesus was not dead on the cross.
The body of Jesus was sleeping but the soul of Jesus was with God.
How is it possible for a body to be sleeping and the soul to be with God?
Only the soul of a human is raised to heaven.
The human body is not needed in heaven.
The human body is only needed on the Earth.
Quran 39:42 Koran 39:42 God takes the souls at the time of their death and (also takes the souls of) those who have not died (but are alive) during their sleep (when God saved the life of Jesus Isa with sleep so that his body did not move making everyone believe that Jesus Isa was dead on the cross in Quran 4:157 by raising the soul of Jesus Isa to heaven and to God in Quran 4:158). He (God) keeps those (souls) for which He (God) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time (such as when God returned the soul of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa on the earth in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 when Jesus Isa delivered the message that Jesus Isa is not God by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross, after which they return to sleep again or die as in Quran 5:75 where Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa “use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago and Quran 3:144 where the “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 5:117 Jesus died when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago when he was raised by the angel of death). In this are signs (of God) for people who think.
(Note 1. The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross.
(Note 2. When a human sleeps their soul is raised to heaven and to God.
(Note 3. When God returns the soul to a sleeping human their body will wake up.
(Note 4. Three days later Jesus was awake.
(Note 5. God saved Jesus from death.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was taken to heaven and to God then the soul of Jesus was returned three days later to Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
(Note 6. Just as God twice protected Jesus from being stoned to death in the Gospel of John 8:59 and 10:31 so also God protected Jesus from being killed or crucified to death.
(Note 7. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
(Note 1. What is sleep?
When a human body sleeps the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will return to awaken the sleeping body on the Earth.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was raised to heaven and to God.
God returned the soul to the sleeping body of Jesus 3 days later and the body of Jesus woke up and Jesus was seen alive.
(Note 2. What is death?
When a human body dies the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will not return to the Earth.
After death the soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.
When Jesus died a natural death God raised the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God and this death is confirmed by Jesus who said do not believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to this Earth (in Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23) because the second coming of Jesus will be on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of every human including Jesus (in Gospel of Mark 13:27 and 14:62)
See Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23, 13:26, 13:27 and 14:62 comment.
See Gospel of Matthew 24:29 and 24:30 comment.
See Gospel of Luke 21:25, 21:25 and 21:7 comment.
See Jesus said another comforter from God will come after him. See part B at the end of Gospel of John chapter 21.
(Note 3. How do we know that Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets that Jesus warned would falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth?
Answer 1: There is nothing in the Torah or Gospel or Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
Answer 2: Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets who will falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth because there is nothing in the Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
2-2. What happened at the end of the life of Jesus?
Quran 4:158 Koran 4:158 God raised him (the soul of Prophet Jesus Isa) up to Himself (God, to protect the life of Jesus Isa as explained in Quran 39:42 where God raises the soul up to Himself causing the human body on the earth to sleep and make everyone think Jesus Isa was dead because his body was not moving in Quran 4:157. God returned the soul of Jesus Isa causing his human body on the earth to wake up three days later as proof that no one killed Jesus Isa on the cross and no one crucified him to death on the cross. This is confirmed because Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion delivering the message that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord). God is all powerful (able to do all things) and He (God) is all wise. (2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping", Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..." and the Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned, and she stood up at once, and he ordered that she be given something to eat. This was proof that she was alive and not dead. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
Note 1. God saved Jesus Isa from death on the cross in Quran 4:157 and 4:158 so that Jesus Isa could continue his life and then die 2000 years ago like every human before him and after him has died in Quran 5:75 and 3:144. The natural death of Jesus Isa 2000 years ago is proof to the people in his time that Jesus Isa is human like every other human and he is not God or an equal partner with God.
In Quran 5:75 every human messenger of God before Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died) …”
In Quran 3:144 every human messenger of God before Prophet Muhammad is dead.
The messenger before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 3:144 Koran 3:144 Prophet Muhammad is no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Muhammad) have passed away (meaning died) ….”
(Note 1. Jesus is a human.
Jesus is human because the soul of every human is raised to Heaven and to God by the Angel of Death and the soul of every human is under the care of God who is the creator of every soul and the carer of every soul.
(Note 2. The Earth is the resting place for the human body.
The human body is only needed on the Earth because the human body is designed for life on the Earth.
(Note 3. Heaven is the resting place for the human soul.
Heaven is made for the human soul because the human soul is designed for life in Heaven.
(Note 4. The human body dies on the Earth but the human soul lives forever in heaven.
(Note 5. The soul on the Day of Resurrection.
On the Day of Resurrection the human soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment.
(Note 6. The natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus.
After the natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus their souls were raised to Heaven and to God and their bodies were hidden in the Earth to prevent human idol worship but some Christians later made images of Jesus and began to pray to Jesus instead of praying to God who is the creator of Jesus so God inspired Prophet Muhammad to correct the confusion between God and Jesus.
2-3. Where is proof that the revelations in the Quran about Jesus are correct?
How does God show the truthfulness of the messenger who came after Jesus?
God allowed the Dome of the Rock shrine to be built as a memorial on God’s Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem Al-Quds to confirm the truthfulness of the messenger that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 (see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
Only God has the power to bless what is on God’s Holy ground on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Quds as a sign for all who have eyes to see and a sign for all who have hearts that understand.
The Dome of the Rock (Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah) was completed in 72 AH (691 CE, 691 AD, 691) on the Temple mount in Jerusalem, Al-Quds, Palestine today in Israel and Palestine as a confirmation from God that Muhammad is the next prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus.
37 years after Jesus left the Earth the second House of God on God’s Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea was destroyed by the Roman Empire as a sign from God confirming the warnings that had been delivered by Jesus.
69 years after Prophet Muhammad left the Earth the Dome of the Rock shine was completed on God’s Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Palestine today Israel and Palestine as a sign from God confirming that Muhammad is the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus.
Where is proof from God that Muhammad is the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus?
Where is proof that God has blessed Prophet Muhammad?
Where is proof that God has blessed the Quran?
Where is proof that God has blessed the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Al-Quds?
Some Christians confused Jesus with God and as Jesus prophesied in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 (see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John) God sent a messenger after Jesus.
God confirmed the prophet after Jesus by permitting the building of the Al-Aqsa mosque on the Holy ground of the First and Second Temples of God in Jerusalem (Al-Quds), Palestine, today Israel and Palestine.
Only God has the power to bless what is on God’s Holy ground on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Quds as a sign for all who have eyes to see and a sign for all who have hearts that understand.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque (al-Masjid al-Aqsa, the Farthest Mosque, Al-Aqsa, Bayt al-Muqaddas) was established in 85 AH (705 CE, 705 AD) as confirmation from God that Muhammad is the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus.
Jerusalem, Al-Quds in the time of Jesus is the location on the Temple Mount (Temple Mountain, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Har HaBayit, Haram Al-Sharif, Bait ul Muqaddas, The Sanctuary) where the Second Temple of God stood on top of the First Temple of God which had earlier been destroyed.
37 years after Jesus left the Earth the second House of God on the Temple Mount was destroyed by the Roman Empire as a sign from God confirming the warnings that had been delivered by Jesus.
73 years after Muhammad left the Earth the Al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount was established on top of the destroyed first and second Houses of God as a sign from God confirming that Muhammad is the next prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus.
Quran 6:92 Koran 6:92 And this (Quran) is (also) a Book which We (God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel revealed to Prophet Muhammad) have blessed and revealed, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Torah and in the Gospel) so that you (Prophet Muhammad) may warn (of God’s reward and punishment in the hereafter to those that live in) the mother of towns (Mecca) and those around her (in Arabia today in Saudi Arabia). Those who believe in the Hereafter believe it (the Quran) and they are careful (to remember to observe) their worship (of God).
Quran 30:30 Koran 30:30 So direct yourself (Prophet Muhammad) towards the religion (the belief in one creator) for which He (God who is the one and only creator) has created (religion for) humans. No one can alter what God has created (in religion, in the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran). That is the right religion (belief), but most people do not know (this).
Gospel of John 2:23 And while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the Festival, many believed in his name— seeing the miraculous signs he was doing.
Comment:
1. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?
2000 years ago in the time of Jesus in Judea no one believed that Jesus was God.
In the time of Jesus all the believers in Jesus believed that Jesus was a human prophet messenger and messiah of God because in the Torah many prophets and messengers and messiahs had come before Jesus.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.
In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was God because every Jew who believed in God knew that God is the creator of every creation.
If no one believed that Jesus was God in the time of Jesus then why would anyone believe that Jesus was God 2000 years later?
The Gospel says that Jesus is a messenger of God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel says that Jesus is human so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel does not say that Jesus is God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
In the Torah God punishes humans for worshiping anything that is a creation because this is idol worship that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of God.
See the Gospel of John 1:50 comment.
1-1. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Jesus is a human prophet messenger and messiah of God.
To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Why did stone idol worshippers believe that stone statues are god and some Christians believe that wooden statues of Jesus are God and some Jews disbelieve in Jesus?
See Gospel of John 3:2 comment.
1-2. No one including Jesus knows the time of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
Only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
See Gospel of John 1:50 comment.
Gospel of John 2:24 But Jesus on his part did not commit himself to them, because he knew all people,
Comment:
Explain Gospel of John 2:24.
Gospel of John 2:24 But Jesus on his part did not commit himself to them (by revealing more about himself as Jesus did when Jesus was alone with his disciples), because he (Jesus) knew (that) all people (in a crowd contained a mixture of believers and disbelievers and hypocrites),
Gospel of John 2:25 and because he had no need that anyone testify about a person, for he knew what was in the person.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 2:25.
Gospel of John 2:25 and because he (Jesus) had no need that anyone testify about a person, for he (Jesus) knew (whatever was revealed by God through the Holy Spirit to the heart of Jesus informing Jesus) what was in the (heart of a) person.
2. How could Jesus know what Jesus knew?
How did Jesus know what Jesus knew?
How could Jesus do what Jesus did?
The Torah, Gospel and Quran explain how God through the Holy Spirit revealed knowledge to Jesus 2000 years ago in the same way as God through the Holy Spirit has revealed knowledge to the other prophets and messengers and messiahs of God throughout human history.
Jesus knew what Jesus knew in the same way as Moses knew what Moses knew.
Jesus did what Jesus did in the same way as Moses did what Moses did.
Jesus knew the future in the same way as Moses knew the future.
Jesus knew the past in the same way as Moses knew the past.
Jesus made miracles in the same way as Moses made miracles.
Jesus gave warnings in the same way as Moses gave warnings.

You Must Be Born Again
Gospel of John 3:1 And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 3:1.
Gospel of John 3:1 And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (a leader) of the Jews.
2. Who are the Pharisees?
In the time of Jesus a Jewish sect called the Pharisees believed in the written Torah, the oral law (Jewish stories) and the resurrection of the dead in the Hereafter.
The Pharisees were in Judea today in Israel and Palestine in the period of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds from the second century BCE (BC) until the destruction of the second Jewish Temple in 569 BH (70 CE).
Much in today’s traditional Judaism and Jewish Rabbis developed from the religious Pharisee tradition.
3. Who was Nicodemus?
Nicodemus (Nicodemus ben Gurion, Bunai) was a Jewish believer in God.
Nicodemus was from the children of Israel.
Nicodemus was a holy, generous, respected and wealthy man.
Nicodemus opposed the Jewish Zealots who wanted to make war against the Roman occupation of Judea today Israel and Palestine.
Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin which was the highest Jewish court in Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Gospel of John 3:2 He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one would be able to do these miraculous signs you are doing, unless God were with him."
Comment:
1. What is a rabbi?
Rabbi is a Jewish teacher.
Jesus is from the children of Israel.
Jesus is Jewish.
Jesus is a teacher.
The people sometimes called Jesus using the word rabbi.
A rabbi can also be a Jewish religious leader.
A rabbi can also be a scholar who studies Jewish law.
2. Jesus is a human prophet messenger and messiah of God.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was a prophet messenger messiah preacher and teacher of God.
In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was God because every Jew knew the difference between a creation and the creator.
Gospel of Luke 24:19 And he (Jesus) said to them (the followers of Jesus), "What things?" And they (the followers of Jesus) said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people (who believe in God and in Prophet Jesus);
3. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Throughout human history those that did not know the difference between a creation and the creator adopted the religion of human idol worship which invented gods that were in the image of humans.
The mistaken belief that Jesus was god came after Jesus left the Earth when the belief in Jesus spread outside Judea and across the idol worshipping Roman Empire where hundreds of gods who were in the image of humans started to be replaced with one god in the image of the human called Jesus.
3-1. To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:7 (In the Ten Commandments of God the First commandment from God is) You shall have no other gods but Me (The one God).
Torah Deuteronomy 5:8 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God is) You shall not make any graven (man-made image, image carved on any surface such as on wood and stone and metal and glass, engraved images such as those made by scratching or cutting to make an) image (for worship or in a place of worship), even any image that looks like anything that is above you in heaven or that is on the Earth, or that is in the water or under the Earth.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:9 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) You shall not bow down to them (any human made image) nor serve them (meaning do not direct prayer to such an image, do not direct worship to such an image) because I the Lord your God am a jealous God (meaning pray to one God only) and I (God) give punishment to the father (who disobeys this command) and also to his children (who disobeys this command) and also to the third generation and to the fourth generation of them (the children of Israel) that hate me (by disobeying this command). (Continued in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10)
Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) - And showing mercy to the thousandth generation of them that love Me (God) and keep My (God’s) commandments.
(Note 1. The Second commandment of God continues stating that those that love God shall keep this commandment.
(Note 2. If humans lived for 100 years then the thousandth generation of humans would be in 100,000 years.
(Note 3. God made clear that no one can cancel the central commandment in the Torah which are the first two commandments given by God to Prophet Moses and followed by Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad.
3-2. Why did stone idol worshippers believe that stone statues are god and some Christians believe that wooden statues of Jesus are God and some Jews disbelieve in Jesus?
Quran 27:59 Koran 27:59 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “Praise is to God and peace (freedom from evil in the hereafter) is on His (God’s) servants whom He (God) has chosen. Who is the best (to give your prayers to), God (the creator who is the only one with the power to hear prayer) or those (creations of God that people mistakenly pray to such as Prophet Jesus and Prophet Ezra and stone idols and wooden idols and saints and angels who are all the creations of God with no power to hear prayer) which they (mistakenly) associate as being partners (with God, partners who they mistakenly believe have the same power as God to hear prayer)?”
(Note 1. Ezra the son of God means Ezra the servant of God.
1400 years ago some of the Jews in Yathrib Arabia today in Saudi Arabia claimed that Ezra would save the Jews from Hell fire in the Hereafter as a way of rejecting the need for Prophet Muhammad in the same way as 2000 years ago some of the Jews in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine claimed that they were faithful to Moses who was the prophet and messenger of God 3200 years ago as a way of rejecting the need for the prophet and messenger of God named Jesus.
However Moses said that a prophet and messenger of God would come after Moses.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
(Note 2. Jesus the son of God means Jesus the servant of God.
1400 years ago some of the Christians claimed that Jesus would save the Christians from Hell fire in the Hereafter as a way of rejecting the need for Prophet Muhammad in the same way as 2000 years ago some of the Jews in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine claimed that they were faithful to Moses who was the prophet and messenger of God 3200 years ago as a way of rejecting the need for the prophet and messenger of God named Jesus.
However Jesus said that a prophet and messenger of God would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 (see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
Gospel of John 14:16 And I (Jesus the messenger of God) will ask the Father (God, what God has decreed), and he (God, answered Jesus through the Holy Spirit that God) will give you (humans) another Counselor (another Comforter, another prophet messenger so), that he (the guidance of that comforter, counsellor, messenger) may be ever (forever, through what that next messenger reveals, be left) with you (humans, this is forever because that prophet will be the last messenger of God),
Quran 43:57 Koran 43:57 And when (Jesus) the son of Mary is given as an example (of a god whose statue was made out of wood and worshiped by some Christians) the people (of Mecca, Arabia) laughed,
Quran 43:58 Koran 43:58 And (the stone idol worshipers of Mecca, Arabia) said, “Are our gods (whose statue is made out of rock) better, or is he (Jesus, whose statue is made out of wood better)? They make no (real) objection (because what they compare are both the idol worship of things or people that are created by God who is the one that creates every creation, they do nothing) except to argue. They are an argumentative people.
Quran 43:59 Koran 43:59 He (the prophet and messenger Jesus) is no more than a servant (of God) on whom We (God) bestowed favour and We (God) made him (Jesus) an example (of righteousness) for the Children of Israel.
Quran 43:63 Koran 43:63 When Jesus came with clear signs (of authority from God), he said, “I have come to you with wisdom (that has been given to me by God) and to make clear some things about which you dispute (among each other). So keep your duty to (pray only to) God and obey me (as the prophet messenger and messiah sent to you by God).”
Quran 43:64 Koran 43:64 (Prophet Jesus said to the children of Israel), “God is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (God). This is the correct path.”
Quran 43:65 Koran 43:65 But groups among them (Christians) differed (in their understanding of what Jesus had commanded them to believe). The misfortune of the punishment of a painful Day (of Judgement) shall be on those who are wrongdoers (by praying to the creation Jesus instead of praying to God the creator like Jesus prayed to God and as every prophet and messenger of God before Jesus prayed to God because praying to anything that is a creation is called idol worship).

1. Explain Gospel of John 3:8.
Gospel of John 3:8 The wind blows (its gifts of water to) where it will, and the sound of it you hear, but you do not know where it is coming from, and where it is going. Such is everyone born (by starting a new life that follows the will of God) (to seek the gift of the kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven) from the Spirit (the desire of a clean heart to be righteous)."
2. What is the Kingdom of God?
What is the Kingdom of Heaven?
The kingdom of God is the same as the kingdom of heaven.
See The Gospel of Mark 1:14-1:15 (kingdom of God) and the Gospel of Matthew 4:17 (kingdom of Heaven).
See The Gospel of Mark 4:30-4:31 (kingdom of God) and the Gospel of Matthew 13:31 (kingdom of Heaven).

Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.

2. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?
2000 years ago in the time of Jesus in Judea no one believed that Jesus was God.
In the time of Jesus all the believers in Jesus believed that Jesus was a human prophet messenger and messiah of God because in the Torah many prophets and messengers and messiahs had come before Jesus.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.
In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was God because every Jew who believed in God knew that God is the creator of every creation.
If no one believed that Jesus was God in the time of Jesus then why would anyone believe that Jesus was God 2000 years later?
The Gospel says that Jesus is a messenger of God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel says that Jesus is human so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel does not say that Jesus is God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
In the Torah God punishes humans for worshiping anything that is a creation because this is idol worship that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of God.
See the Gospel of John 1:50 comment.
2-1. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Jesus is a human prophet messenger and messiah of God.
To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Why did stone idol worshippers believe that stone statues are god and some Christians believe that wooden statues of Jesus are God and some Jews disbelieve in Jesus?
See Gospel of John 3:2 comment.
2-2. No one including Jesus knows the time of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
Only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
See Gospel of John 1:50 comment.
Gospel of John 3:13 And no one has gone up into heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 3:13.
Gospel of John 3:13 And no one (no soul such as the soul of Jesus and every other human soul) has gone up into heaven except the one (the soul of humans that are created by God such as the soul of Jesus and every other human soul and) who came down from heaven (and are delivered by the angels of God to the womb of their mother on the Earth as), the Son of Man (the human, the humans, and are born as a human).
(Note 1. Every human soul that has gone up into heaven was created by God. Every human soul first came down from heaven to the Earth and placed in the womb of a mother and later every human dies and their soul is raised back up to heaven.
(Note 2. Jesus is human.
Just as God created every human soul including the soul of Jesus and sent them from Heaven to Earth so too is the human soul including the soul of Jesus raised up and returned to heaven.
(Note 3. In the Torah every human is the son of man (Adam).
(Note 4. The Gospel is the story of one son of man named Jesus.
(Note 5. In the Gospel of John 3:13 the son of man are the humans including Jesus.
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).
(Note 6. The soul of Jesus was created by God.
The soul of Jesus was created by God and delivered from Heaven to Earth as every human soul is created by God and delivered from Heaven to Earth.
Quran 4:158 Koran 4:158 God raised him (the soul of Prophet Jesus Isa) up to Himself (God, to protect the life of Jesus Isa as explained in Quran 39:42 where God raises the soul up to Himself causing the human body on the earth to sleep and make everyone think Jesus Isa was dead because his body was not moving in Quran 4:157. God returned the soul of Jesus Isa causing his human body on the earth to wake up three days later as proof that no one killed Jesus Isa on the cross and no one crucified him to death on the cross. This is confirmed because Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion delivering the message that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord). God is all powerful (able to do all things) and He (God) is all wise. (2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping", Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..." and the Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned, and she stood up at once, and he ordered that she be given something to eat. This was proof that she was alive and not dead. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
Note 1. God saved Jesus Isa from death on the cross in Quran 4:157 and 4:158 so that Jesus Isa could continue his life and then die 2000 years ago like every human before him and after him has died in Quran 5:75 and 3:144. The natural death of Jesus Isa 2000 years ago is proof to the people in his time that Jesus Isa is human like every other human and he is not God or an equal partner with God.
In Quran 5:75 every human messenger of God before Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died) …”
In Quran 3:144 every human messenger of God before Prophet Muhammad is dead.
The messenger before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 3:144 Koran 3:144 Prophet Muhammad is no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Muhammad) have passed away (meaning died) ….”
(Note 1. Jesus is a human.
Jesus is human because the soul of every human is raised to Heaven and to God by the Angel of Death and the soul of every human is under the care of God who is the creator of every soul and the carer of every soul.
(Note 2. The Earth is the resting place for the human body.
The human body is only needed on the Earth because the human body is designed for life on the Earth.
(Note 3. Heaven is the resting place for the human soul.
Heaven is made for the human soul because the human soul is designed for life in Heaven.
(Note 4. The human body dies on the Earth but the human soul lives forever in heaven.
(Note 5. The soul on the Day of Resurrection.
On the Day of Resurrection the human soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment.
(Note 6. The natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus.
After the natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus their souls were raised to Heaven and to God and their bodies were hidden in the Earth to prevent human idol worship but some Christians later made images of Jesus and began to pray to Jesus instead of praying to God who is the creator of Jesus so God inspired Prophet Muhammad to correct the confusion between God and Jesus.
2. Why is God not Jesus?
2-1. In the Torah those who mistakenly believe that humans are created in the image of God so that humans look like God incorrectly understand the meaning of “humans are created in the image of God’”
Nothing that looks like a human could create the universe therefore “humans are created in the image of God” means that humans are created with a portion of the kindness and the mercy of God.
Quran 109:0 Koran 109:0 In the name of God, The Most Kind, The Most Merciful.
2-2. In the Quran those who mistakenly believe that God is a body that sits on a chair incorrectly understand the meaning of “God’s throne extends over the Heavens and the Earth.”
Nothing that looks like a human could create the universe therefore “God’s throne extends over the Heavens and the Earth“ means that God has authority over the Heavens and the Earth.
Quran 2:255 Koran 2:255 Regarding God, there is no God except Him the one and only God who is living and eternal. He (God) is never sleepy and He (God) does not sleep. He (God) is the owner of everything in the heavens (all we see and all we cannot see) and on the earth. Who is there that can intercede in His (God’s) presence except as He (God) permits? He (God) knows their (human) present and what is hidden (their human past and their human future). (God’s creations) only have the knowledge that He (God) wills (them to have). His (God’s) throne (of authority) extends over the heavens and the earth (meaning, God rules the heavens and the earth) and He (God) never feels tied of looking after them (His creations). He (God) is the highest and the greatest (of all that exists).
2-3. In the Gospel those who mistakenly believe that the “son of man” is God incorrectly understand the difference between the creator and the creation.
Nothing that looks like a human could create the universe therefore a human cannot be God because every human is created by God.
Torah Numbers 23:19 (God said, through the month of Balaam) “God is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (God) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good. ..."
(Note 1. Nothing that is a creation can be God.
No human can be God because humans are created by God.
God in the Torah revealed that God is not a human who repents for human sins.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. Nothing on the Earth can be God.
Everything on the Earth is a creation so it cannot be God.
No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
(Note 2. God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.
2-4. The Ten Commandments of God forbid the worship of anything that is a creation including humans.
Jesus is a creation therefore Jesus cannot be God.
God forbids the worship of anything that is a creation.
God forbids the worship of anything that is on the Earth because it is a creation made by God so it cannot be God.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:8 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God is) You shall not make any graven (man-made image, image carved on any surface such as on wood and stone and metal and glass, engraved images such as those made by scratching or cutting to make an) image (for worship or in a place of worship), even any image that looks like anything that is above you in heaven or that is on the Earth, or that is in the water or under the Earth.
(Note 1. Nothing on the Earth is God.
Nothing under the Earth is God.
Nothing above the Earth is God.
Do not worship anything that is on the Earth because everything on the Earth is a creation made by God.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:9 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) You shall not bow down to them (any human made image) nor serve them (meaning do not direct prayer to such an image, do not direct worship to such an image) because I the Lord your God am a jealous God (meaning pray to one God only) and I (God) give punishment to the father (who disobeys this command) and also to his children (who disobeys this command) and also to the third generation and to the fourth generation of them (the children of Israel) that hate me (by disobeying this command). (Continued in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10)
Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) - And showing mercy to the thousandth generation of them that love Me (God) and keep My (God’s) commandments.
(Note 1. The Second commandment of God continues stating that those that love God shall keep this commandment.
(Note 2. If humans lived for 100 years then the thousandth generation of humans would be in 100,000 years.
(Note 3. God made clear that no one can cancel the central commandment in the Torah which are the first two commandments given by God to Prophet Moses and followed by Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad.
Gospel of John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, in like manner the Son of Man must be lifted up,
Explain Gospel of John 3:14.
Gospel of John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert (as God had decreed), in like manner (the soul of) the Son of Man (Jesus) must be lifted up (to heaven because God has decreed that no human can live on the Earth forever),
Gospel of Luke 24:51 And it came about that as he (Jesus) was blessing them (the disciples of Jesus), he (Jesus) parted from them (died a natural death), and (the soul of Jesus) was taken up (by the angel of death) into heaven (and to God who is the creator and carer of every human soul).
Quran 4:158 Koran 4:158 God raised him (the soul of Prophet Jesus Isa) up to Himself (God, to protect the life of Jesus Isa as explained in Quran 39:42 where God raises the soul up to Himself causing the human body on the earth to sleep and make everyone think Jesus Isa was dead because his body was not moving in Quran 4:157.

Note 1. God saved Jesus Isa from death on the cross in Quran 4:157 and 4:158 so that Jesus Isa could continue his life and then die 2000 years ago like every human before him and after him has died in Quran 5:75 and 3:144. The natural death of Jesus Isa 2000 years ago is proof to the people in his time that Jesus Isa is human like every other human and he is not God or an equal partner with God.
In Quran 5:75 every human messenger of God before Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died) …”
In Quran 3:144 every human messenger of God before Prophet Muhammad is dead.
The messenger before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 3:144 Koran 3:144 Prophet Muhammad is no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Muhammad) have passed away (meaning died) ….”
(Note 1. Jesus is a human.
Jesus is human because the soul of every human is raised to Heaven and to God by the Angel of Death and the soul of every human is under the care of God who is the creator of every soul and the carer of every soul.
(Note 2. The Earth is the resting place for the human body.
The human body is only needed on the Earth because the human body is designed for life on the Earth.
(Note 3. Heaven is the resting place for the human soul.
Heaven is made for the human soul because the human soul is designed for life in Heaven.
(Note 4. The human body dies on the Earth but the human soul lives forever in heaven.
(Note 5. The soul on the Day of Resurrection.
On the Day of Resurrection the human soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment.
(Note 6. The natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus.
After the natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus their souls were raised to Heaven and to God and their bodies were hidden in the Earth to prevent human idol worship but some Christians later made images of Jesus and began to pray to Jesus instead of praying to God who is the creator of Jesus so God inspired Prophet Muhammad to correct the confusion between God and Jesus.
Gospel of Luke 24:43 And he (Jesus) took it (the broiled fish), and ate it in front of them (to prove that Jesus is human. Jesus is not God because God does not eat food. Jesus is human because Jesus eats food).
(Note 1. The messengers of God such as Moses, Jesus and Muhammad are all humans.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died. All the messengers before Jesus Isa have died so would you expect that Prophet Muhammad would live forever or expect that Prophet Muhammad will not die or believe that Prophet Jesus Isa did not die or that Prophet Moses Musa did not die or that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not die? See Quran 3:144, 4:157, 4:158, 5:72, 5:75, 5:117, 19:36 and 39:42 comments). His mother was a righteous woman and they (Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam) both used to eat food (meaning Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa died a natural death 2000 years ago because both “used to eat food” meaning they are dead because they do not eat food today. The human body needs food. When Adam and Eve Hawa were created with a human body they ate food in heaven. If the human body of Jesus Isa was raised to heaven as some people claim then Jesus Isa would be eating food today which contradicts Quran 5:75 “Jesus and Mary both used to eat food” meaning Jesus and Mary both do not eat food today because they died a natural death like every human messenger of God before them has died in Quran 5:75 and as Prophet Jesus Isa died in Quran 3:144 which says the messengers of God before Prophet Muhammad have died meaning Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago because the messenger of God before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa who lived and died a natural death 2000 years ago. God raises the soul to heaven not the human body. The soul is alive in heaven without a human body and without the need for food. The human body is only needed on this earth. The soul without the body for Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are in heaven waiting for the Day of Resurrection which will come in the hereafter on a new earth after the end of this earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and the universe meaning the Day of Resurrection is after the end of this first creation. After the Day of Resurrection and Judgement the new physical human body will eat food in the hereafter only for enjoyment in Paradise Jannah and only for punishment in Hell Jahannam). (Even now when) We (God) make the revelations clear for them (that Jesus Isa is not God but a human by showing that the soul of Jesus Isa was raised up to God like every human soul is raised up to God by the angel of death) see how they (some among the Christians who believe Jesus Isa is God) are deluded (in thinking that Jesus Isa is more than a human messenger. Moses Musa describes all the messengers who will come after him including Jesus Isa in Taurat Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 – 18:22. Jesus Isa never said "I am God" or "worship me" or "I am a Trinity" in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and that is why such beliefs are called "deluded" meaning they are not true because they are opposite to what Jesus Isa is teaching in all the Gospels Injils that were with the Christians 1400 years ago and are still with them today and will be with them until the Day of Judgement as proof that Jesus Isa never claimed he was God and as proof Jesus Isa told people to pray not to him but to God and worship not him but worship God. What some people think Jesus Isa said is opposite to the meaning of the words of Jesus Isa which are recorded in all the Gospels Injils and this is why it is said that some Christians 1400 years ago had deluded ideas meaning untrue ideas that Jesus Isa was more than a human or that he was God or that he was a partner with God in a Trinity. Jesus Isa was a human who died like every human before him had died and whose soul was raised up to God to be in God's care like the soul of every human is raised up after death to be in God's care. The meaning of Quran 5:75 is that Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago like every human messenger of God had died before him as proof to the people in his time that Jesus is not God or a partner with God but only a human servant who delivered the message of God. The natural death of Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago when Jesus Isa was raised up to God by the angel of death in Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42 is confirmed in the Injils of Isa the Gospels of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which is with the Christians today as proof of the truthfulness of the Quran in the Gospel of Mark 16:19, the Gospel of Luke 24:51 and the last report of the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew 28:20 and the Gospel of John 21:25 which all show that Jesus lived his life on this earth after the crucifixion teaching the people that he is not God saying "God is my Father and your Father" meaning God is my creator and your creator and teaching the people "God is my God and your God" meaning God is my master and your master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 until his natural death 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).
(Note 1. After Prophet Muhammad revealed that Jesus was a human like every messenger before Jesus some Christians continued to believe that Jesus was god and they mistakenly prayed to what God had created.
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.
(Note 2. After Prophet Muhammad revealed that stone idols have no power some stone idol worshippers continued to believe that stone idols were gods and they mistakenly prayed to what humans had created from stone.
(Note 3. After Prophet Muhammad revealed that Jesus was a prophet messenger and messiah some Jews continued to reject Jesus.
Quran 21:34 Koran 21:34 And We (God) did not grant immortality (on the earth) to any human before you (Prophet Muhammad, meaning every human messenger before Prophet Muhammad has died), so if you die (as every human must die), would they (other humans expect to) live forever (or expect that you Prophet Muhammad would live forever or expect that Prophet Muhammad will not die or believe that Prophet Jesus Isa did not die or that Prophet Moses Musa did not die or that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not die? See Quran 4:157, 4:158, 5:117 and 39:42 comments).
(Note 1. Every human is decreed to die on the Earth because no human is immortal.
Quran 25:20 Koran 25:20 We (God) never sent before you (Prophet Muhammad) any (human) messengers except those who ate food and walked in the markets. And We (God) have made some of you (people) as a test (trial) for others: Shall you bear (the test, the trial) patiently? Your Lord (God) sees all (things).

4-1. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Jesus is a human prophet messenger and messiah of God.
To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Why did stone idol worshippers believe that stone statues are god and some Christians believe that wooden statues of Jesus are God and some Jews disbelieve in Jesus?
See Gospel of John 3:2 comment.
4-2. No one including Jesus knows the time of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
Only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.

Quran 4:159 Koran 4:159 And there is not (one person) from the people of the Book (Quran 4:159 are not the Christians because Christianity did not exist until after the natural death of Prophet Jesus Isa on the earth 2000 years ago in Quran 3:55, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42 meaning Jesus Isa was not a witness when his followers abandoned Judaism and created a new religion called Christianity because God had decreed there will be more than one “community” of God on the earth so that God can test who is best in behaviour between and within each “community” of God after God ordered His “communities” of Judaism and Christianity and Islam to “strive for all that is good” in Quran 5:48 where God explains why God did not make only one “community” of God for the people of the earth. Jesus Isa was only a witness among the Jewish people. Jesus and Mary and Joseph and the twelve disciples of Jesus were Jewish. The people of the Book in Quran 4:159 are the Jews who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago when Jesus Isa was living in Quran 3:55, Quran 4:157, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 and there is not one person from the Jewish people who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago) but surely he believes in him (Prophet Jesus Isa as described in the Gospel of Luke 24:19 “… The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people” and as described in Gospel of Mark 12:29 “… Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord” and as described in Gospel of Matthew 24:36 “But as for that day and hour, no one knows it except the Father God alone; not even the angels of heaven meaning the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God, not even the Son” meaning Jesus who is a servant of God and as described in Gospel of Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until the sky and the earth pass away meaning until the end of the earth, not one iota, not one serif meaning not a dot of one letter, will by any means pass away from the Law meaning the Torah Taurat until everything is carried out” meaning on the Day of Judgement which is after the end of the earth and as described in Gospel of Matthew 5:19 “Therefore, whoever looses one of the least of these commandments meaning in the Torah Taurat, and teaches people the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them meaning practices the Torah Taurat and teaches them meaning teaches the Torah Taurat, this one will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” A Jewish person living 2000 years ago in the time of the living prophet Jesus Isa who saw and heard that prophet speak must believe) before his death (means before the death of any person who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago he must believe in him) otherwise on the Day of Resurrection he (Prophet Jesus Isa) shall be a witness against them (in Quran 7:6 and Quran 5:117 and Quran 3:55 because Jesus Isa can only testify about what he saw when he lived before his natural death on the earth 2000 years ago in Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42. Jesus in Quran 7:6 testifies to God in the hereafter in Quran 5:117 “… I was a witness to them when I lived among them ...” meaning in the hereafter Jesus Isa will testify he was raised only one time by the angel of death when Jesus Isa lived among the children of Israel 2000 years ago. Both God and Jesus make no mention that in the religion of Islam Jesus will return to this earth because it contradicts Quran 33:40 which forbid any prophet from coming to this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Jesus Isa is a prophet wherever he may be so it is forbidden by God in Quran 33:40 for Jesus Isa to return to life until every human is returned to life on the Day of Resurrection on a new earth meaning a new ground in the hereafter as explained in Quran 5:117 comments. The Jews who saw and heard Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago and mocked and threatened him by claiming “they killed Prophet Jesus Isa” on the cross in Quran 4:157 testified that they supported an unjust killing which their guardian angel has recorded against them in Quran 50:17 – 50:18 and the record of their deeds will be given to them in the hereafter in Quran 39:69. Quran 4:159 does not apply to Jews in all times because Jews who lived before the time of Jesus Isa did not know Jesus Isa and because after the time of Jesus Isa many Jews disbelieved in Jesus Isa because some Christians claimed “Jesus is God or part of God” which contradicts what God taught the Jews in Torah Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man or the son of man.” Many Jews do not know the message about Jesus in the Quran because Satan Shaitan whispers "Muslims are dangerous people and it is best to stay far away from them." However Satan Shaitan cannot succeed against the righteous among the Jewish people who follow the Torah Taurat which God promised to protect forever in Quran 2:40-2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 5:69, Exodus 2:24, Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Deuteronomy 12:1, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, 2 King 13:23, Psalm 19:8-19:12 in Jewish Tanakh or Psalm 19:7-19:11 in Christian Old Testament Bible, Psalm 111:7 - 111:9, Hosea 3:4-3:5, Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11, Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 meaning the Torah Taurat protects the same commandment delivered by every messenger of God to pray only to the one God who created every creation and to do good deeds in this world. The righteous Jews who do not know Jesus Isa or the Quran have been correctly guided by God to worship only God as explained by God in Quran 5:48 where God has created more than one “community’ of God and God is guiding each community through what God “has given them” in His protected books as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA Jews, Christians, Muslims and others are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 – 3:115. Quran 4:162, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69, Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and Quran 41:8 confirming the promise in the Jewish Hebrew Bible to the Jews and in the Gospel Injil to the Christians. Quran 4:159, Quran 5:117, Quran 7:6 and Quran 39:69 show that in the time of a living prophet he can be a witness in the hereafter against people who lived in his time. Quran 3:113 – 3:115 shows that in the time of Prophet Muhammad the righteous Jews followed Judaism and believed Prophet Muhammad as explained by God in Quran 5:48 and those Jews were promised Paradise by God in Quran 3:115. Quran 5:82 – 5:85 shows that in the time of Prophet Muhammad the righteous Christians followed Christianity and believed Prophet Muhammad as decreed by God in Quran 5:48 and were promised Paradise by God in Quran 5:85. Jews and Christians have been told to follow their Books in Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:68 so that three “communities” of God are created and established on the earth until the Day of Judgement. Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between God and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39. Today there is no prophet and every human is tested by God according to Quran 5:48 to show in the hereafter who is best in behaviour. Quran 5:48, Quran 3:64 and Quran 98:5 shows that Jews who follow the Jewish Hebrew Bible and Christians who follow the four Gospels Injil and Muslims who follow the Quran are correctly guided if God wills because those books have the same command to pray only to the one creator of every creation and to do good deeds in this world. Jews follow the Torah Taurat. Christian can know that whatever in the four Gospels contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the Gospel writers and not from God in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed. Muslims follow the Quran which confirms the Torah Taurat is correct and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel. Jews, Christians, Muslims and others can come together in each generation testifying their submission to God in Quran 3:64 to promote peace making in Quran 4:114 as an example of good behaviour by those who know God to those who do not know God in Quran 45:14. The purpose of Quran 4:159 where everyone who saw and heard Prophet Jesus must have believed in him 2000 years ago otherwise Prophet Jesus will testify against them is for the people who are living in the time of Prophet Muhammad to know that everyone who saw and heard Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago must have believed in him otherwise Prophet Muhammad will testify against them.Today there are no prophets meaning Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad will only testify about the people in their time because they will have no knowledge about any other people except what God reveals to them).
(Note 1. Jesus is among the righteous prophets and messengers of God.
Quran 2:136 Koran 2:136 (Prophet Muhammad) say (to them), "We believe in God and the revelation given to us and to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and the Tribes (the 12 tribes of the children of Israel), and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord (God). We make no difference between one (prophet) and another (we say that all the prophets have the same message which is that there is one and only one God who is the creator of every creation) and we submit (our will) to (the will of) God."
(Note 1. Jesus is among the righteous prophets and messengers of God.
2-1. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Jesus is a human prophet messenger and messiah of God.
To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Why did stone idol worshippers believe that stone statues are god and some Christians believe that wooden statues of Jesus are God and some Jews disbelieve in Jesus?
See Gospel of John 3:2 comment.
2-2. No one including Jesus knows the time of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
Only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.

Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.

(Note 6. In the Torah the children of Israel are the son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God).
(Note 7. The Gospel is the story of one of the children of Israel (one son of God meaning one servant of God, one slave of God) named Jesus.
(Note 8. 2000 years ago Jesus was the only begotten son (the only begotten servant) meaning that Jesus was given the highest authority of a prophet messenger and messiah to speak in the name of God to the generation of people who lived in his time 2000 years ago.
(Note 9. Quran 4:159 Koran 4:159 And there is not (one person) from the people of the Book (Quran 4:159 are not the Christians because Christianity did not exist until after the natural death of Prophet Jesus Isa on the earth 2000 years ago in Quran 3:55, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42 meaning Jesus Isa was not a witness when his followers abandoned Judaism and created a new religion called Christianity because God had decreed there will be more than one “community” of God on the earth so that God can test who is best in behaviour between and within each “community” of God after God ordered His “communities” of Judaism and Christianity and Islam to “strive for all that is good” in Quran 5:48 where God explains why God did not make only one “community” of God for the people of the earth. Jesus Isa was only a witness among the Jewish people. Jesus and Mary and Joseph and the twelve disciples of Jesus were Jewish. The people of the Book in Quran 4:159 are the Jews who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago when Jesus Isa was living in Quran 3:55, Quran 4:157, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 and there is not one person from the Jewish people who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago) but surely he believes in him (Prophet Jesus Isa as described in the Gospel of Luke 24:19 “… The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people” and as described in Gospel of Mark 12:29 “… Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord” and as described in Gospel of Matthew 24:36 “But as for that day and hour, no one knows it except the Father God alone; not even the angels of heaven meaning the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God, not even the Son” meaning Jesus who is a servant of God and as described in Gospel of Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until the sky and the earth pass away meaning until the end of the earth, not one iota, not one serif meaning not a dot of one letter, will by any means pass away from the Law meaning the Torah Taurat until everything is carried out” meaning on the Day of Judgement which is after the end of the earth and as described in Gospel of Matthew 5:19 “Therefore, whoever looses one of the least of these commandments meaning in the Torah Taurat, and teaches people the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them meaning practices the Torah Taurat and teaches them meaning teaches the Torah Taurat, this one will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” A Jewish person living 2000 years ago in the time of the living prophet Jesus Isa who saw and heard that prophet speak must believe) before his death (means before the death of any person who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago he must believe in him) otherwise on the Day of Resurrection he (Prophet Jesus Isa) shall be a witness against them (in Quran 7:6 and Quran 5:117 and Quran 3:55 because Jesus Isa can only testify about what he saw when he lived before his natural death on the earth 2000 years ago in Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42. Jesus in Quran 7:6 testifies to God in the hereafter in Quran 5:117 “… I was a witness to them when I lived among them ...” meaning in the hereafter Jesus Isa will testify he was raised only one time by the angel of death when Jesus Isa lived among the children of Israel 2000 years ago. Both God and Jesus make no mention that in the religion of Islam Jesus will return to this earth because it contradicts Quran 33:40 which forbid any prophet from coming to this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Jesus Isa is a prophet wherever he may be so it is forbidden by God in Quran 33:40 for Jesus Isa to return to life until every human is returned to life on the Day of Resurrection on a new earth meaning a new ground in the hereafter as explained in Quran 5:117 comments. The Jews who saw and heard Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago and mocked and threatened him by claiming “they killed Prophet Jesus Isa” on the cross in Quran 4:157 testified that they supported an unjust killing which their guardian angel has recorded against them in Quran 50:17 – 50:18 and the record of their deeds will be given to them in the hereafter in Quran 39:69. Quran 4:159 does not apply to Jews in all times because Jews who lived before the time of Jesus Isa did not know Jesus Isa and because after the time of Jesus Isa many Jews disbelieved in Jesus Isa because some Christians claimed “Jesus is God or part of God” which contradicts what God taught the Jews in Torah Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man or the son of man.” Many Jews do not know the message about Jesus in the Quran because Satan Shaitan whispers "Muslims are dangerous people and it is best to stay far away from them." However Satan Shaitan cannot succeed against the righteous among the Jewish people who follow the Torah Taurat which God promised to protect forever in Quran 2:40-2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 5:69, Exodus 2:24, Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Deuteronomy 12:1, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, 2 King 13:23, Psalm 19:8-19:12 in Jewish Tanakh or Psalm 19:7-19:11 in Christian Old Testament Bible, Psalm 111:7 - 111:9, Hosea 3:4-3:5, Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11, Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 meaning the Torah Taurat protects the same commandment delivered by every messenger of God to pray only to the one God who created every creation and to do good deeds in this world. The righteous Jews who do not know Jesus Isa or the Quran have been correctly guided by God to worship only God as explained by God in Quran 5:48 where God has created more than one “community’ of God and God is guiding each community through what God “has given them” in His protected books as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA Jews, Christians, Muslims and others are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 – 3:115. Quran 4:162, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69, Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and Quran 41:8 confirming the promise in the Jewish Hebrew Bible to the Jews and in the Gospel Injil to the Christians. Quran 4:159, Quran 5:117, Quran 7:6 and Quran 39:69 show that in the time of a living prophet he can be a witness in the hereafter against people who lived in his time. Quran 3:113 – 3:115 shows that in the time of Prophet Muhammad the righteous Jews followed Judaism and believed Prophet Muhammad as explained by God in Quran 5:48 and those Jews were promised Paradise by God in Quran 3:115. Quran 5:82 – 5:85 shows that in the time of Prophet Muhammad the righteous Christians followed Christianity and believed Prophet Muhammad as decreed by God in Quran 5:48 and were promised Paradise by God in Quran 5:85. Jews and Christians have been told to follow their Books in Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:68 so that three “communities” of God are created and established on the earth until the Day of Judgement. Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between God and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39. Today there is no prophet and every human is tested by God according to Quran 5:48 to show in the hereafter who is best in behaviour. Quran 5:48, Quran 3:64 and Quran 98:5 shows that Jews who follow the Jewish Hebrew Bible and Christians who follow the four Gospels Injil and Muslims who follow the Quran are correctly guided if God wills because those books have the same command to pray only to the one creator of every creation and to do good deeds in this world. Jews follow the Torah Taurat. Christian can know that whatever in the four Gospels contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the Gospel writers and not from God in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed. Muslims follow the Quran which confirms the Torah Taurat is correct and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel. Jews, Christians, Muslims and others can come together in each generation testifying their submission to God in Quran 3:64 to promote peace making in Quran 4:114 as an example of good behaviour by those who know God to those who do not know God in Quran 45:14. The purpose of Quran 4:159 where everyone who saw and heard Prophet Jesus must have believed in him 2000 years ago otherwise Prophet Jesus will testify against them is for the people who are living in the time of Prophet Muhammad to know that everyone who saw and heard Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago must have believed in him otherwise Prophet Muhammad will testify against them.Today there are no prophets meaning Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad will only testify about the people in their time because they will have no knowledge about any other people except what God reveals to them).
(Note 10. Muslims should believe that Jesus is among the righteous prophets and messengers of God.
Quran 2:136 Koran 2:136 (Prophet Muhammad) say (to them), "We believe in God and the revelation given to us and to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and the Tribes (the 12 tribes of the children of Israel), and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord (God). We make no difference between one (prophet) and another (we say that all the prophets have the same message which is that there is one and only one God who is the creator of every creation) and we submit (our will) to (the will of) God."
Quran 29:46 Koran 29:46 And do not argue with the People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) except in the best way (by using good words and in a good manner), except with those of them that are wrongdoers. And say, “We (Muslims) believe in what has been revealed to us (Muslims in the Quran) and revealed to you (the Jews in your Torah and the Christians in your Gospel). Our (Muslim) God and your (Jewish and Christian) God is (the same) one (God) and to Him (God, the creator of every creation) we have submitted (ourselves as believers in Him the one and only God).”
Gospel of Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him (Jesus) in the bodily form of a dove (a body with wings, an angel) …”
Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by God’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”
Gospel of John 3:33 The person who accepts his testimony has vouched that God is truthful.
Comment:
Explain Gospel of John 3:33.
Gospel of John 3:33 The person who accepts his testimony (the testimony from the messenger of God on the Earth) has vouched (swears) that God is truthful (because the message is believed).
Gospel of John 3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; because to him God gives the Spirit without measure.
Comment:
Explain Gospel of John 3:34.
Gospel of John 3:34 For he (the messenger of God on the Earth) whom God has sent speaks the words of God; because to him (the messenger of God on the Earth) God gives the (guidance of the Holy) Spirit without measure (greatly).
(Note 1. See Gospel of John 3:32 comment.
Gospel of John 3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 3:35.
Gospel of John 3:35 The Father (God) loves the Son (the willing servant who 2000 years ago was the prophet messenger and messiah Jesus), and has given all things into his hand (because every prophet and messenger of God is given all things since everything a prophet and messenger of God does is what God has willed them to do).
(Note 1. Why did God gave Jesus all things on the Earth?
2000 years ago Jesus had the supreme authority to speak in the name of God and as proof that Jesus was a messenger of God; God permitted Jesus to show all types of miracles as proof that Jesus was a truthful prophet and messenger of God.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
Gospel of John 15:15 No longer do I (Jesus) call you (the disciples of Jesus) servants, for the servant does not know what his lord (Master) is doing. But you (the disciples of Jesus) I (Jesus) have called friends, because all things that I (Jesus) have heard from my Father (God), I (Jesus) have made known to you (the disciples of Jesus).
(Note 1. All things that Jesus does Jesus heard God tell Jesus to do. All revelation from God to Jesus is through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
Gospel of John 19:28 Jesus, knowing that after these things, all things (that God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel had commanded Jesus to do) were now completed, next says, "I am thirsty," so that the scripture would be fulfilled.
1-1. What does “son” mean?
Torah Exodus 4:22 And you (Moses) shall say to Pharaoh, The Lord (God) says, “Israel is My son, My first born.” (Meaning, Israel is God’s servant because they believe in God).
Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (God) have said to you (Pharaoh), “Let My son (meaning My servant) go so that he may serve Me (God) and you (Pharaoh) have refused to let him go…”)
(Note 1. In the Torah all the children of Israel are called the son of God meaning the servant of God because they believe in God.
(Note 2. Jesus is one of the children of Israel therefore Jesus is a son of God meaning a servant of God because Jesus believes in God.
(Note 3. The Gospel is the story of one of the children of Israel named Jesus who is a son of God meaning a servant of God.
Gospel of John 1:12 But to all who did receive him (Jesus the messenger of God), to those believing on his name (the prophet and messenger and messiah Jesus), he (God) gave the right to become children of God (meaning servants of God, believers of God, slaves of God, those who are obedient to God) -
(Note 1. Everyone who believes in God and his messengers are called children of God meaning servants of God.
(Note 2. In the time of Jesus and after the time of Jesus the children of God meaning the servant of God is any person who believes and obeys God.
(Note 3. 2000 years ago Jesus was the only begotten son (the only begotten servant) meaning that Jesus was given the highest authority of a prophet messenger and messiah to speak in the name of God to the generation of people who lived in his time 2000 years ago.
Gospel of John 3:36 The person who believes in the Son, has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but rather, the wrath of God remains upon him."
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 3:36.
Gospel of John 3:36 The person who believes in the Son (the servant of God, the messenger of God), has eternal life (because they believed the message that God had sent), but the one who disobeys the Son (the servant of God, the messenger of God) will not see life, but rather, the wrath (anger) of God remains upon him (in the Hereafter)."
2. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?
2000 years ago in the time of Jesus in Judea no one believed that Jesus was God.
In the time of Jesus all the believers in Jesus believed that Jesus was a human prophet messenger and messiah of God because in the Torah many prophets and messengers and messiahs had come before Jesus.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.
In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was God because every Jew who believed in God knew that God is the creator of every creation.
If no one believed that Jesus was God in the time of Jesus then why would anyone believe that Jesus was God 2000 years later?
The Gospel says that Jesus is a messenger of God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel says that Jesus is human so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel does not say that Jesus is God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
In the Torah God punishes humans for worshiping anything that is a creation because this is idol worship that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of God.
See the Gospel of John 1:50 comment.
2-1. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Jesus is a human prophet messenger and messiah of God.
To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Why did stone idol worshippers believe that stone statues are god and some Christians believe that wooden statues of Jesus are God and some Jews disbelieve in Jesus?
See Gospel of John 3:2 comment.
2-2. No one including Jesus knows the time of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
Only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
See Gospel of John 1:50 comment.
