Immanuel-God with us


Immanuel predicted in the Old Testament
Isaiah the prophet prophesied about the birth of Immanuel. In isaiah 7:14 (King James Version)

He said, All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means 'God is with us')



Immanuel or emmanuel mentioned and 'confirmed' by new testament


22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.




Immanuel was nothing to do with divinity but a name for a person just like Eli and there is a person names “Eli” in the bible.. by using the name it doesn’t mean he was God but it just a name that’s all .Eli literally means “my God”

but is the person( Eli) in the bible was God? Of course not…refer to  1 Samuel 3:8, 1 Samuel 4:14, 1 Samuel 3:5,1 Samuel 3:6 

 So the LORD called Samuel again for the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli discerned that the LORD was calling the boy.(1 Samuel 3:8)


What Jesus actually said about that? he wasnt claim his divinity but claim he was escorted by God and he even asking god for help.

John 16:32
Listen, the hour is coming, indeed it has already come, when you will be scattered, each of
you to his own home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with me 

Matthew 27:46
 About the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?”



But the same verse state that the mother supposedly the virgin right ?? 
Refer to  New Revised Standard Version Bible the mother is not a virgin but just young woman .

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel. (New Revised Standard Version:Isaiah 7:14 )

So who was else supposed to be Immanuel=God with us ???


If you do not help him, God has already helped him, when those who disbelieved expelled him, and he was the second of two (Muhammad and his best friend Abu Bakar) in the cave. He (Muhammad) said to his friend (Abu Bakar), “Do not worry, God is with us.” And God made His tranquility descend upon him, and supported him with forces you did not see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the Word of God is the Highest. God is Mighty and Wise.
(
QURAN chapter 9 Repentance/at-Tawbah:40)

Muhammad convince his friend Abu Bakar that God with them during the migration to Medina and they almost found by Pagan Arabs and Abu Bakar getting terrified.


Ahmed Deedat Answer - Jesus said 'I am the Way the Truth and the Life'!
