Muslims love to quote John 5:30 where Jesus says this:

“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. (John 5:30, ESV)

The reason they do this is because it shows Jesus telling us that he seeks the will of the one that sent him.

They love this because they have absolutely no evidence that Islam existed before Muhammad did, and the only thing they can come up with is to say that Islam means submission and that those in the Old Testament that submitted to God were obviously Muslims because they submitted their will to God.

Never mind the fact that every single religion that ever existed that had a god mandates that you submit your will to their God. So what they are in essence saying is that Islam says the exact same thing that every other religion that ever existed says about their God.

What you will never ever see a Muslim post even one time is John 5:19 that has Jesus making the exact same statement, but with the reason he says it. Muslims don’t want you to know the reason he said this statement; they want to mislead you and deceive and that is the reason they will never post this statement from John 5:19, even though it’s the exact same statement.

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. (John 5:19, ESV)

But the other reason they will never ever post this verse is because it shows even more proof that Jesus is one with the father. Muslims want to suggest that Jesus being one with the father is no different than Jesus being one with us and they will refer you to John 17 20-23.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. (John 17:20-23, ESV)

But Jesus makes it clear that being one with the father for him is far different and much more intimate. He literally sees what the father does and does likewise. This is more proof that Jesus is literally one with the father and literally God. No other prophet, or any other human being for that matter, could make the same statement.
