Of course, he worshipped God, not himself.
Of course, he worshipped God, not himself. This proves that he was not a god but a very humble servant of God. According to three of the gospels, the last words Jesus uttered were: “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” A person who has a God is not a God. God is Ever-Living, but Jesus is mortal; God is the Almighty, but Jesus was persecuted. Wilson : Why cannot we view Jesus as a god from his spiritual side and a mortal human from his bodily side?
Chirri : Having two sides, spirit and body, is not the exclusive property of Jesus, because every human being has these two sides. You have both spirit and body, and so do I. And neither of our spirits is mortal, since our spirits will continue to live after our death. But this does not make either of us a god, and so is the case with Jesus. Wilson : But Jesus is not like us. He, according to the Qur'an and the Bible, was born from a virgin mother without a father.
Does not this mean that he is more than a human being? Chirri : Being born from a mother without a father does not make Jesus more than a human being. Adam was created without father and mother, and that did not make him more than a human. From the Holy Qur'an: “Certainly the status of Jesus in the eyes of God is like the status of Adam. He created him from dust. He said to him: ‘Be’, and so he was.” 3:59 Neither Jesus nor Adam is a god because neither of them is the Creator of the universe.
Wilson : How do we know that he was not the Creator of the universe? Chirri : The scientists say that the stars are more than four billion years old, and Jesus was born less than two thousand years ago. How can such an old universe be created by such a young creator? Wilson : You are entirely right, and I think you have made the fact clear enough to convince any fair-minded person. Actually, the facts which you have mentioned are well known to everyone.
It is amazing how people lose sight of them. I think that they do so because they are taught the divinity of Jesus since childhood. This teaching is repeated so much at home and in church that it remains in the children's minds; and when they grow up, it grows as a part of their thinking. They do not question it because it is taken for granted. From what has been advanced, it has become clear to me that the uncompromising view of Islam on the oneness of God is the most reasonable.
Therefore, I bear witness that there is no God but the Almighty God, alone without a partner, associate, or son.
