1 In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, Note: God spoken to us through christ as the last and latest way for that. God spoke through dreams (by the prophets) are over

Romans 10: 1-4 Revised Standard Version (RSV)
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.
2 I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened.
3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
4 For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified.
Romans 10:14-17 Revised Standard Version (RSV)
14 But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
15 And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”
17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.
Note: Faith came through hearing. Hearing came from the preacher and the preacher bring us the word of God (Books).
Let us look at Luke 6:40 from my N.I.V. Bible "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher."
Evidence from the English translation of Luke 6:40 that further prove that the word 'Muslim' was used by Jesus:
Luke 6:40 (KJV)
40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Luke 6:40 (Darby)
40 The disciple is not above his teacher, but every one that is perfected shall be as his teacher.
Luke 6:40 (Young's Literal Translation)
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.
Luke 6:40 (21st Century King James Version)
40 The disciple is not above his master, but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Luke 6:40 (American Standard Version)
40 The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.
The perfection here means a spiritual one. What the verse is saying is that knowledge is not what matters! The teacher or master is higher in knowledge than his student. But the student can be as high as his teacher, or even higher, by being a true 'MUSHLAM' or Muslim, a spiritually perfect and well-disciplined person!
Taken from the Aramaic bible society.See also the PDF fileat this link. Note: Aramaic and Hebrew are read from right to left, which is opposite to English.
Translation in English: "No student can be above his teacher, but everyone that is a MUSLIM, can be as his teacher."
Important Note: The Hebrew word "Mushlam" comes from the root "Sh L M". "Shalom" which comes from the same root means "peace". The Arabic word "Muslim" comes from the root "S L M". "Salam" means "peace". "Salem" means "safe". Also taken from the Aramaic bible society,
38 Jesus therefore again groaning (begging for help from God) in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Why Jesus ask for help from God??
John 5:30 King James Version (KJV)
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
And [make Jesus] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah . And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believer (Quran-3:49)
Isn't Jesus God because he raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11)??
Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
It is the testimony as a muslim-man “ There is is no God but one God and Jesus is the messenger of God”
Acts 2:22
Men of Israel, listen to this message:Jesus of Nazareth was a mancertified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.

John 4:19-22 New International Version (NIV)
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet (Jesus). 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
Psalm 93:2-3
Your (jesus) throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.
1 Timothy 2:5

Jesus Pray & Testimony
John 17:1 -3
1-When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come.Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
2-ForYou granted Him authority over all humanity, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.
3-Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
If jesus really the God so why he need to pray? To whom he praying for? This is a distinction between son (blessed man) and the Father (God) You, the only true God,- “you”(God) is the ONLY true God not me(Jesus) Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. –testimony that he’s the messenger of God
John 6:38
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will,but the will of Him who sent Me
John 7:29
"I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me."
John 8:42
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.
O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.
(Quran-4:171)
The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.
And My judgment is just,because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid. Matthew 28:18 King James Version (KJV) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. John 10:18 Revised Standard Version (RSV) No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.”
Acts 2:22New International Version (NIV)
“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a manaccredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the Son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit. If Allah had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allah had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allah does what He intends. (Quran-2:253)
And [make Jesus] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah . And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. (Quran-3:49) Jesus Christ Capabilities
"But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.( Luke 11:20)
"But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Matthew 12:28) Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
John 9:1-11 New International Version (NIV))
1-As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 -“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 -As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 -While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6- After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 -“Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. 8 -His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9- Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.” 10- “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. 11 -He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.” [The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic." (Quran- 5:110)
Matthew 23:9
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Note: Jesus on earth so he was not the Father (God), the real Father is one that on heaven.
John 14:28
You heard Me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.(No equality between Father and Jesus. They are not in the same level.)
John 10:29-30
My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one.(One in purpose, One in the same side)
John 5:30-31
I can do nothing by Myself;
I judge only as I hear.
And My judgment is just,because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
Jesus was mentioned as the son of man 83 times in the Bible
John 3:13
No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven — the Son of Man.
Luke 2:21
When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived. Question: Did God circumcised?? And angle gave the name for God his own creator? Did God being conceived for 9 month?
Matthew 16:24-27
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their lifef will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
Luke 9:26
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
Luke 9:58
Jesus replied, “- Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
John 9 New International Version (NIV)
35- Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 -“Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”
37- Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
Numbers 23:19 King James Version (KJV)
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Job 25:4-6 King James Version (KJV)
4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will yourFather forgive yours.
According to this prayer , there is no mention about praying to Jesus in the heaven or pray to Father together with Jesus in the heaven..this is what Christian have done today..they were worshipped and pray to Jesus but the fact is Jesus himself pray to God.
John 17:1 -3
When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come.Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
For You granted Him authority over all humanity, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.
Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
If jesus really the God so why he need to pray? whom he praying to? This is the distinction between son (blessed men) and the Father (God) You, the only true God,- “you”(God) is the ONLY true God not me(Jesus) Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. –proof he’s the messenger of God
Ebionites (Greek: Ἐβιωναῖοι Ebionaioi, derived from Hebrew אביונים ebyonim, ebionim, meaning "the poor" or "poor ones"), is a patristic term referring to a Jewish Christian movement that existed during the early centuries of the Christian Era. They regarded Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah while rejecting his divinity and insisted on the necessity of following Jewish law and rites. They used only one of the Jewish–Christian gospels, revered James the brother of Jesus (James the Just), and rejected Paul the Apostle as an apostate from the Law. Their name suggests that they placed a special value on voluntary poverty. Ebionim was one of the terms used by the sect at Qumran that sought to separate themselves from the corruption of the Temple. Many believe that they were Essenes.

Jehovah's Witnesses: None-Trinitarian
Jehovah's Witnesses is a millenarian restorationist Christian denomination with nontrinitarian beliefs distinct from mainstream Christianity. The group reports a worldwide membership of more than 8.3 million adherents involved in evangelism and an annual Memorial attendance of more than 20 million. Jehovah's Witnesses are directed by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, a group of elders in Warwick, New York, which establishes all doctrines based on its interpretations of the Bible. They prefer to use their own translation, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, although their literature occasionally quotes and cites other Bible translations. They believe that the destruction of the present world system at Armageddon is imminent, and that the establishment of God's kingdom over the earth is the only solution for all problems faced by humanity.
The group emerged from the Bible Student movement, founded in the late 1870s by Charles Taze Russell with the formation of Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society, with significant organizational and doctrinal changes under the leadership of Joseph Franklin Rutherford. The name Jehovah's witnesses was adopted in 1931 to distinguish themselves from other Bible Student groups and symbolize a break with the legacy of Russell's traditions.
Jehovah's Witnesses are best known for their door-to-door preaching, distributing literature such as The Watchtower and Awake!, and refusing military service and blood transfusions. They consider use of the name Jehovah vital for proper worship. They reject Trinitarianism, inherent immortality of the soul, and hellfire, which they consider to be unscriptural doctrines. They do not observe Christmas, Easter, birthdays or other holidays and customs they consider to have pagan origins incompatible with Christianity. Adherents commonly refer to their body of beliefs as "the truth" and consider themselves to be "in the truth". They consider secular society to be morally corrupt and under the influence of Satan, and most limit their social interaction with non-Witnesses. Congregational disciplinary actions include disfellowshipping, their term for formal expulsion and shunning.Baptized individuals who formally leave are considered disassociated and are also shunned. Disfellowshipped and disassociated individuals may eventually be reinstated if deemed repentant.
The group's position regarding conscientious objection to military service and refusal to salute national flags has brought it into conflict with some governments. Consequently, some Jehovah's Witnesses have been persecuted and their activities are banned or restricted in some countries. Persistent legal challenges by Jehovah's Witnesses have influenced legislation related to civil rights in several countries.
The organization has received criticism over issues surrounding biblical translation, doctrines, handling of sexual abuse cases, and alleged coercion of its members. The claims are rejected by the group's leaders, and some have been disputed by courts and religious scholars.
Jehovah and Jesus Christ
Jehovah's Witnesses emphasize use of the name Jehovah—a representation of God's name based on the Tetragrammaton They believe that Jehovah is the only true God, the creator of all things, and the "Universal Sovereign". They believe that all worship should be directed toward him, and that he is not part of a Trinity; consequently, the group places more emphasis on God than on Christ. They believe that the holy spirit is God's applied power or "active force", rather than a person.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is God's only direct creation, that everything else was created through Christ by means of God's power, and that the initial unassisted act of creation uniquely identifies Jesus as God's "only-begotten Son". Jesus served as a redeemer and a ransom sacrifice to pay for the sins of humanity. They believe Jesus died on a single upright post rather than the traditional cross. They believe that references in the Bible to the Archangel Michael, Abaddon (Apollyon), and the Word all refer to Jesus. Jesus is considered to be the only intercessor and high priest between God and humanity, and appointed by God as the king and judge of his kingdom.His role as a mediator (referred to in 1 Timothy 2:5) is applied to the 'anointed' class, though the 'other sheep' are said to also benefit from the arrangement.

Unitarianism
Unitarianism is historically a Christian theological movement named for its belief that God is one entity, as opposed to the Trinity which defines God as three persons in one being; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unitarians believe that Jesus was inspired by God in his moral teachings and is a savior but a human being rather than a deity. Unitarianism is also known for the rejection of several other Western Christian doctrines, including the doctrines of original sin, predestination, and the infallibility of the Bible.Unitarians in previous centuries accepted the doctrine of punishment in an eternal hell, but few do today.[citation needed] Unitarianism might be considered a part of Protestantism depending on one's stance or viewpoint; perhaps it being described a part of Nontrinitarianism, or both, is more accurate. Beliefs
Christology
Unitarians believe that mainline Christianity does not adhere to strict monotheism but that they do by maintaining that Jesus was a great man and a prophet of God, perhaps even a supernatural being, but not God himself. They believe Jesus did not claim to be God and that his teachings did not suggest the existence of a triune God. Unitarians believe in the moral authority but not necessarily the divinity of Jesus. Their theology is thus opposed to the trinitarian theology of other Christian denominations.
Unitarian Christology can be divided according to whether Jesus is believed to have had a pre-human existence. Both forms maintain that God is one being and one "person" and that Jesus is the (or a) Son of God, but generally not God himself.
In the early 19th century, Unitarian Robert Wallace identified three particular classes of Unitarian doctrines in history:
Arian, which believed in a pre-existence of the Logos, but maintained that Jesus was created and lived as human only;
Socinian, which, denied his original divinity, but agreed that Christ should be worshipped; and
"Strict Unitarian", which, believing in an "incommunicable divinity of God", denied both the existence of the Holy Spirit and the worship of "the man Christ."
Unitarianism is considered a factor in the decline of classical deism because there were people who increasingly preferred to identify themselves as Unitarians rather than deists.
Conservative Unitarian theology accommodates a wide range of understandings of God.
Radical Unitiarian theology further rejects the importance of dogma, liturgy, and anything other than ethics and a gospel of love.
Several tenets of Unitarianism overlap with the predominant Muslim view of Jesus and Islamic understanding of monotheism, although no direct link between the two is suggested.
Other beliefs
Although there is no specific authority on convictions of Unitarian belief aside from rejection of the Trinity, the following beliefs are generally accepted:
One God and the oneness or unity of God.
The life and teachings of Jesus Christ constitute the exemplar model for living one's own life.
Reason, rational thought, science, and philosophy coexist with faith in God.
Humans have the ability to exercise free will in a responsible, constructive and ethical manner with the assistance of religion.
Human nature in its present condition is neither inherently corrupt nor depraved (see original Sin) but capable of both good and evil, as God intended.
No religion can claim an absolute monopoly on the Holy Spirit or theological truth.
Though the authors of the Bible were inspired by God, they were humans and therefore subject to human error.
The traditional doctrines of predestination, eternal damnation, and the vicarious sacrifice and satisfaction theories of the Atonement are invalid because they malign God's character and veil the true nature and mission of Jesus Christ.
And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.(Quran-5:116)
Note: God condemn worship anything beside God including worshipping Jesus & his mother, Mary.
Collyridianism was an Early Christian heretical movement in pre-Islamic Arabia whose adherents apparently worshipped the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, as a goddess. The main source of information about them comes from their strongest opponent, Epiphanius of Salamis, who wrote about them in his Panarion of about 375 AD. According to Epiphanius, certain women in then-largely-pagan Arabia syncretized indigenous beliefs with the worship of Mary, and offered little cakes or bread-rolls (Greek κολλυρις – a word occurring in the Septuagint) to her. Epiphanius states that Collyridianism originated in Thrace and Scythia, although it may have first travelled to those regions from Syria or Asia Minor. Little else is known.

Acts 3:13 New International Version (NIV) The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.
Peter further said: “God raised up his servant” (Acts 3:26), where the title servant refers to Jesus.
In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed. (Acts 4:27)
as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” (Acts 4:30)
He answered, “I (Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24) These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.(matthew 10:5-6 KJV)
“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 John 4: 2-3 International Standard Version 2-This is how you can recognize God’s Spirit: Every spirit who acknowledges that Jesus the Messiah has become human—and remains so—is from God. 3-But every spirit who does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist. You have heard that he is coming, and now he is already in the world.
John 9:11 New International Version (NIV))
He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.” John 8: 39-41 39 -“Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[b] do what Abraham did. 40 -As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me (Jesus), a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.
41- You are doing the works of your own father.” Jesus was hungry & thirsty Matthew 21:18 New International Version (NIV) Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Matthew 25:37 King James Version (KJV) Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? Luke 4:2 King James Version (KJV) Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. John 4:7 King James Version (KJV) There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Mark 11:12-14 New International Version (NIV) The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out (not all-knowing) if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” (Jesus being angry and cursed it) And his disciples heard him say it.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Luke 7:34King James Version (KJV)
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Every Glory for Jesus Christ was GIVEN by God Almighty
“For to us a child (Jesus) is born, to us a son IS GIVEN, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
(Isaiah 9:6)
I continued watching in the night visions, and I saw One like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was escorted before Him. He WAS GIVEN AUTHORITY to rule, and glory, and a kingdom; so that those of every people, nation, and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will not be destroyed."
(Daniel 7:13-14 )
Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the GLORY YOU GAVE ME because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
Numbers 23:19 New International Version (NIV) God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
Numbers 23:19 King James Version (KJV)
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
"And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret." 1 Samuel 15:29
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
Jesus said 'I am the Way the Truth and the Life'!
The Language Way of Jesus Christ
John 16:25-33 (New International Version)
25-“I have said these things to you in figurative language.(metaphorically) The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26- On that day, you will ask in my name. I‘m not telling you that I will ask the Father on your behalf,
27- because the Father himself loves you and because you have loved me and believed that I came from God.
28- I left the Father and have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
29- His disciples said, “Well, now you're speaking plainly and not
using figurative language.
30- Now we know that you know everything
and do not need to have anyone ask you questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God.”
31- Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
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.
33- I have told you this so that in me you
may have peace. In the world you will have trouble, but be courageous—I have overcome the world!”
When jesus will speak plainly?? 1.When he going back to Father 2.When jesus desciples wil scattered and leave Jesus alone.(the desciples not with Jesus and leave Jesus alone when he talk plainly).
Note: Jesus speak that way becaused he spokes according to the way of language of the people on that time to make sure they got the messages.
In their footsteps, We sent Jesus son of Mary, fulfilling the Torah that preceded him; and We gave him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming the Torah that preceded him, and guidance and counsel for the righteous.So let the people of the Gospel rule according to what God revealed in it. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the sinners. (QURAN: 5 -The Table/al-Ma'idah: 46-47)

(John 12:49) John 5:30 King James Version (KJV) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. Revelation 19:10 Revised Standard Version (RSV)
Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
