SOME MUSLIMS are TRYING SO HARD to disprove the divinity of Jesus Christ by using verses like Hosea 11:9.
A MUSLIM, Vergilio Balgua Cerbito, posted in a thread in the FB group Answering Muslims: "OSEAS 11:9 SAPAGKAT AKO AY "DIYOS" .....DIYOS DIYOS DIYOS AT HINDI TAO...."HINDI TAO" ,,,,,HINDI TAO ... naiintindihan mo ba?????"
[HOSEA 11:9 BECAUSE I AM "GOD' .....GOD GOD GOD AND NOT MAN...."NOT MAN" ,,,,,NOT MAN ... do you understand?????]
A. DISTORTION
MUSLIMS are DISTORTING HOSEA 11:9 by quoting it ONLY PARTLY to show that God was denying that HE BECAME MAN as Jesus did.
If we read the verse IN FULL, we will see that GOD IS NOT DENYING that HE BECAME MAN.
HOSEA 11:9
I will not execute My fierce anger;
I will not destroy Ephraim again.
For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst,
And I will not come in wrath.
When MUSLIMS quote the verse, they ONLY CITE "For I AM GOD and NOT MAN."
They DELIBERATELY DO NOT QUOTE the part which GIVES the REASON why God said He is "NOT MAN." That part which says, "I will not execute My fierce anger."
If we read the parts together, we will have "I will not execute My fierce anger ... For I am God and not man."
With that, we see that the verse is NOT A DENIAL of GOD BECOMING MAN but of God saying that HE DOES NOT GET ANGRY AS MAN DOES.
God denying that HE CAN BECOME MAN is SO MUCH DIFFERENT from God saying that HE DOES NOT GET ANGRY LIKE MAN.
Clearly, MUSLIMS DELIBERATELY MISQUOTE HOSEA 11:9 to MISLEAD and DECEIVE PEOPLE.
But WHAT KIND of a RELIGION is ISLAM if its MEMBERS WILLFULLY and KNOWINGLY DECEIVE OTHERS?
That is the question.

B. GOD BECAME MAN
While MUSLIMS DISTORT HOSEA 11:9 to deny that GOD can BECOME MAN, the verse actually tells of GOD COMING to HIS PEOPLE, which points to GOD BECOMING MAN.
The last two phrases of HOSEA 11:9 show God saying that He is "the Holy One in your midst. I will not COME in wrath."
GOD is ALREADY in the MIDST of HIS PEOPLE. HE is ALREADY PRESENT TO THEM.
And yet, GOD said "I WILL NOT COME in WRATH."
It tells of a FUTURE TIME when GOD will COME to HIS PEOPLE.
That FUTURE TIME is when GOD will BECOME MAN and be "GOD WITH US (Matthew 1:23)," which was fulfilled with the BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST--who is GOD the ONLY SON. (John 1:18)
When GOD THE SON became MAN, He DID NOT COME in WRATH or ANGER but in LOVE and MERCY. GOD THE SON even DIED on the CROSS to SAVE MANKIND.
He did not die on the cross. The 4 gospels say " He is alive" Count how many alive word in the 4 gospels. He asked for food and ate to show you fools that he was alive he didn't die therefore not a resurrected body. He prayed to be saved and God saved him. Look for the verse where M Magdalene went to the tomb carrying 25 lbs of medicaments. She knew that JC was still alive. What is she gonna do with medicaments for a dead body?
ReplyDeleteSorry but your brand of selective reading will not work.
DeleteIndeed, Jesus is alive. And that was before He died and after He rose again from the dead.
Please read the Gospels properly to know the truth.
There is no such thing as man- God or God-man. Or God cannot become man. That is clear enough if you use your tiny brain. You can make a computer table or chair but you can never be a computer table or chair.
ReplyDeleteYou are thinking as a man.
DeleteGod is God and He is all powerful.
God chose to become man to save man. To believe that God is incapable of coming in the flesh would be to limit God.
It's true that you really can't question God or that God is a trinity. Others couldn't grasp the thought of how God is described in the bible. Well, it is said in the BIBLE that God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom. So you really can't say that something impossible could never be possible. :)
ReplyDeleteCenon a fool preacher see how insane your logical thinking is that the holy spirit tells you to become fool..You distort your own interpretation the clear meaning of I am God not Man..That os why it is clear more than the crystal that Jesus is not God..As you explained God not getting angry like as a man..That is why Jesus is like me getting mad when he faced a bunch of people like you as a fool and hard headed.Thay is why according to your book they called you all blasphemer, wicked, snake or viper, adultress nation..All this human temper is cause by all people like you blasphemer to God..you cant run from me in Facebook sincerely yours WARLY..
ReplyDeletePlease read the article again. Read the Gospels.
DeleteThat will help you understand.
In addition to that dont play a hunky punky..Jesus said I came not to bring peace but swords and it is happened only Roman Chatolics did a massive killing in humanity by the point of the swords you cant denie that remember what i sent to you the heinous crime of yours..Jesus warns does will not recognised him as a king must kill in front of him..Dont tell me you can still play your answer to me still WARLY A MAD MAN LIKE JESUS COZ OF YOU VIPER..
ReplyDeleteWhen did Roman Catholics do a massive killing of humanity?
DeleteJesus truly warned in in Luke 19:27 that all who refused to accept Him as God and King will be slaughtered on JUDGMENT DAY.
So, that is a stern warning to all who refuse to acknowledge the divinity of Jesus.
I hope you already accepted Jesus as your Lord, God and Savior. For your sake.
IF "FATHER", "SON" & "HOLY GHOST" ARE ONE
ReplyDeleteWith all the explanation Muslims have been given to Christians about the misunderstood statement of Jesus saying "I and my Father are One" which means Oneness in Purpose but they Denied and Proceeded with their Claims that Jesus is God himself.

CHRISTIANITY: MEN WITHOUT RELIGION
ReplyDeleteISLAM: RELIGION WITHOUT MEN
A Muslim never lacks proofs about the purity and truthfulness of his religion, but what he lacks are those truthful brothers who stand for Allah and His Prophet SAW testifying to the truth. Indeed, in this age, Islam is a religion without men (custodians and propagators) whereas Christianity is men without a religion; yet, by their endeavour, adventurous spirit, patience and monetary contributions they are able to falsify truth and make falsehood appear true. In this materialistic age most of humanity have become slaves to wealth, fashions, and mansions.
There is none worthy of worship but Allah and in Him (Alone) do I put my trust, and towards Him am I destined.
