FIRST read and study the Bible

The simple answer is that you need to FIRST read and study the Bible, Christian doctrines and Jewish Law and traditions YOURSELF BEFORE you come to debate from a base of ignorance and islam-skewed ideas

The promise was made by Hashem to Abraham that through him ALL the nations of the world would have salvation (Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22:18). As Hashem Elohim ALONE can grant salvation, in order for Abraham to do so it would mean that Hashem would have to become incarnate in Abraham’s bloodline and that is exactly what happened!

The essence of Hashem Word was placed supernaturally within the womb of Mary and the Lord God Jesus Christ was born, fully human and fully divine, called the hypostatic union, with a human nature and all its emotions, feelings and desires, as well as a divine nature. Because the bloodline curse is passed through the father’s bloodline to the children, Christ being born without a father was born sinless and by always subjugating His human nature to Hashem’s will He remained sinless throughout His life and ministry.

It was never in Hashem’s will or plan that the incarnate Messiah would come seeking worship and overtly proclaim His divinity! He was born to a Jewish family and both His parents knew who He was as they had been informed by the angel at His conception, Christ was raised a Jew and studied the Tanakh and had supernatural insight into the Word. As the human being He was He OBVIOUSLY worshiped Hashem Elohim like all the other Jews, His parents and siblings. Even though muslims are incapable of perceiving the Godhead, Christ had no problem as He was PART of the Godhead, yet His mission was NOT to be Hashem on Earth, but to point the Jews and all nations to Hashem and encourage the Jews to return to Him and the nations of the Earth to embrace Him. This was the central teaching of His Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven and He taught the SPIRIT of the Law and NOT the LETTER as did the Pharisees and scribes.

As much as it was NOT Hashem’s will for Him to overtly proclaim His divinity, Christ did however in many different ways covertly proclaim His divinity! The title by which He most often addressed Himself, the Son of man, was like a red rag to a bull to the Jews as they knew that THE Son of man was the prophesied Messiah to come, yet because of their sinful ways and being so far from Hashem they could not and did not recognise their Messiah in their midst and rejected Him, just as was prophesied would happen.

Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Daniel 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Paul taught Christ’s gospel and as disparaging as Hameed is about Saul/Paul’s meeting with Christ on the Damascus road, the truth is Saul/Paul had a life-changing experience and was thereafter schooled supernaturally by Christ for three years. Consider verse 16 below and see that Paul was NOT schooled by the disciples nor any other humans and thus the inference is that the Spirit of Christ was his teacher.

Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
Galatians 1:14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Galatians 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
Galatians 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Galatians 1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Galatians 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Galatians 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.

ALIVE IN CHRIST

Jesus

“For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes,” (John 5:21).

Paul

“For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive,” (1 Cor. 15:22).

ANXIETY

Jesus

“For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?” (Matt. 6:25).

Paul

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God,” (Phil. 4:6).

ATONEMENT

Jesus

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep,” (John 10:11)

Paul

“and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma,” (Eph. 5:2).

As there is limited space I could only post three topics here out of four pages of topics showing how Paul preached the SAME gospel as Christ!
