102 Prophet Jesus (pbuh): A Prophet, Not A Son, of God

Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) human characteristics

A mentality that ignores Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) human characteris-
tics lies at the heart of trinitarianism. The fact is, however, the New
Testament makes it clear that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is not the Son of God,
but rather His messenger who lived a regular human life. He was born and
lived as an infant, a child, and an adult. When he felt hungry, he ate with
his disciples and thanked God for the food. After a long day of activity,
he felt tired and needed to sleep. In addition, the people around him saw
him wash and cleanse himself. All of these are natural needs that a per-
son has to meet. Moreover, meeting such needs completely contradicts
his supposed divinity.

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
(Luke 2:52)
When he [Jesus] was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks,
broke it, and began to give it to them. (Luke 24:30)

And while they still did not believe it, because of [their] joy and amaze-
ment, he asked them: "Do you have anything here to eat?" They gave him
a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence. (Luke
24:41-43)
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to
Jesus and asked: "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to
eat the Passover?"(Matthew 26:17)

While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house … (Mark 2:15)
Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his
disciples were not even able to eat. (Mark 3:20)

While they were reclining at the table eating, he [Jesus] said: "I tell you the
truth, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me." (Mark
14:18)
