read in Revelation 1/6, "And has made us kings and priests to His God and
Father."
Faith must be founded upon evidence; otherwise, it is blind faith and does not count: "So
then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans
10/17) However, when the high priest asked Jesus Christ about his teachings, he
replied, "I spoke openly to the world (i.e., the Jews)… and in secret I have said
nothing." (John 18/20)
Throughout his life, Christ never said he was God Himself, the Son of God or God
incarnate. He never said that he had two distinct natures, divine and human, and two
wills, or one nature and one will; nor did he ever say that he was the incarnate word of
God. Besides, the writers of the Gospels never attributed to him such statements. In fact,
Christ repeatedly acknowledged through his words and actions that he was a mere
prophet sent by God and that God alone is his God and the God of all mankind who alone
deserves to be worshipped. According to John 17/3, Christ addressed God thus: "… You,
the only true God..." Upon his ascension to heaven, he said, "My God and your
God." (John 20/17) He also repeatedly said, "He that overcomes will I make a pillar
in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon
him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write
upon him my new name." (Revelation 3/12)
In the hereafter, he will declare himself free from the divine attributes people have
attributed to him and from those who have taken him a god or worshipped him besides
God: "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your
name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me,
you who practice lawlessness!'" (Matthew 7/22-23)
As the Qur'an (5/116-119) states, "And when Allah says, ''Isa son of Maryam! Did
you say to people, "Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah?"' He will
say, 'Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no right to say! If I
had said it, then You would have known it. You know what is in myself but I
do not know what is in Your Self. You are the Knower of all unseen things. I
said to them nothing but what You ordered me to say: Worship Allah, my Lord
and your Lord. I was a witness against them as long as I remained among
them, but when You took me back to You, You were the One watching over
