Abdul: salam brother I am back
Johnson: oh but Quran said you should not make us friend and your prophet said you should not be the first to greet us, anyway welcome
Abdul: please don’t deviate let us go to the main issue
Johnson: okay Reno said “The Scriptures are the original scripts written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. I wish Christians be like Muslims in that we read The Scripture in the ORIGINAL LANGUAGE”
Do you agree with him?
Abdul: yes he is right
Johnson: do you speak Arabic
Abdul: No
Johnson: that means you are not doing it right because you can’t read Quran and interpret it in Arabic
Abdul: Quran is different we have the hadeeth and the tafsirs then our scholars we often run to
Johnson: That does not proof anything since you can’t read Quran in its original language and interpret it. Let us do this about 90% of Muslims can’t read Arabic and even at that the 10% it is possible most of them won’t be able to interpret what they have read. So what is the need of comparing with Islam?
Abdul: Wow you are indeed saying the truth.
Johnson : so what he said is not so important since we can always go check difficult words in their original language so I don’t see any big deal in reading Bible in other language. Though no language in the world can be 100% perfect while translating them but the Hebrew and Greek lexicon is always there to check anytime we at loss. So what is the fuss?
Abdul: please let us move on Reno point is baseless and sentimental. Maybe he has read something hidden
Johnson: I am glad you said this. By the way what he read is known only to him and God till he comes out to confess them. Since you agree he is not making too much sense with this claim the let us move on to his next claim
Abdul: He said “As a matter of fact, He came to show us the way to God because He Yeshua is the only way to God. He is everlasting Melchizedek High Priest. The ONLY Mediator between God and man. But He is NOT the Almighty God. That is an European concept. “
He actually emphasized it that HE IS NOT GOD almighty what do you think
Johnson: By the way do you agree with him on this
Abdul: Alihamdulilahi I am a Muslim I agreed Jesus is not God.
Johnson: Yes he said so but that is not his only claim he said Yeshua is the ONLY WAY TO GOD. HE ALSO SAID HE IS THE EVERLASTING MELCHIZEDEK and the ONLY MEDIATOR between God and man. Do you agree with these also?
Abdul: whatever all I can see in his claim is that Jesus is not God. All other things are subset of this and I agree he is not God of course
Johnson: you are not answering my question let me make it simple for you. He said Jesus is not God do you agree?
Abdul: Yes
Johnson: He said he is the ONLY way do you agree?
Abdul: He must be stupid for saying this how can I agree with him on this?
Johnson : don’t use foul language on my brother please. Do you agree Jesus is the ONLY MEDIATOR and everlasting Melchizedek High Priest?
Abdul: please leave all those biblical jargon I can only say Jesus is not GOD
Johnson: okay in the actual fact Jesus is the only way to God John 14:6 he is also our everlasting high priest but it was Melchizedek that was made like the son of God. You need to know the meaning of everlasting High priest and who else is qualified to be called everlasting?
Abdul: only God is eternal and everlasting
Johnson: he just called Jesus everlasting intact Isaiah 9:6 a prophecy about the Messiah said He is the father of eternity. If he is the father of eternity what does that make the Messiah?
Abdul : it seem Reno himself is confused about the while thing. In the facial level he claimed Jesus is not God but deep down he conceded that Jesus is God for being everlasting High priest and considering the prophecy you just brought. Is the Bible confusing him?
Johnson : no Bibles not confusing Jesus is the only way and this is made clear in the Bible. Jesus is God because he did only what God can do. It is left for anyone to either accept or reject the revelation.
Abdul: you mean he is wrong even his own statement condemn his view
Johnson : you got it. He is contradictory in his statement. As soon as he agreed that jesus is the everlasting high priest then HE IS GOD. only God is eternal or everlasting . Don’t you think?
Abdul : that is a problem of Christian faith by the way why did Jesus not claimed he is God openly. Maybe that confused him.
Johnson : Philippians 2:6 Jesus had come no to show supremacy he had come as servant he had come as a messenger he came to save and serve not to be LORD OVER US. so he lowered himself even to the death on the cross. Do you think his mission will be accomplished if he said I AM god oh ye men and thunder and stole follow his speech
Abdul: never nobody will dare touch or move closer to him if he dare such indeed
Johnson: Good but Jesus actually claimed to be God and he did this severally in the Bible and later revealed his identity to John in the book of revelation
Abdul: really? Give me those verses
Johnson : John 1:1-3,10-14 John 8:56-59, Isaiah 9:6, Philippians 2:5-8 Philippians 2:5-7, 2thimothy 3:16, Hebrew 1:9-10
And in The epistle of Peter and Titus he was called our God and our Savior Titus 2:13 2Peter 2:1amd in several passages of the scriptures
Abdul: you mean Reno was not sincere?
Johnson: No I did not say so he has only air his view and I think this is okay for out faith and I think such freedom is encouraged in Islam without any repercussions especially in Islamic State like Saudi Arabia Egypt Sudan Iran Pakistan and other country
Abdul: don’t go there Ahusubilahi such cannot happen in Islam we all belief Allah is one and such does not exist in our faith. Anyone who dare say such will be beheaded . Apostate and dirty kafirun can’t say such wallahi
Johnson: And Islam is indeed a religion of peace that allow freedom for all and sundry right
Abdul: you have started please leave Islam out of this mess. Let us progress but let me go to the restroom and afterward we can continue as you know I can’t speak in the toilet it is wrong for Muslims to do such dirt
Johnson: you mean you can’t talk in the toilet wow. What a freedom. When. You are back we can continue
