Ask The Pastor

February 15, 2004

Usman,

Thanks for writing. I'll try to answer your questions from a Biblical perspective.

> christians call Christ god .

Yes, the ancient prophets said God's Messiah would be called Immanuel, which means, God is with us. The apostles noted that Jesus was somehow God revealed in humanity.

> i want to ask you that if he was god then why was he so powerless
> that he could not escaped himself from his own creation?

It wasn't a matter of escaping. He could have done that well enough. Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of all of humanity. This was foretold by the prophets.

> The tradition of this world is to follow blindly the inhereted
> relegion, never to find the truth and to call only the inhereted
> relegion to be true.

Jesus is the truth. Anyone who receives Him as Lord and Savior, will be given a witness in the heart. The Bible says that His Spirit testifies to our spirit that we are children of God. I have met Jesus personally. It is not religion with me. Jesus did not come to give us another religion. He came to give us a relationship with the Almighty God.

> But the thing on which you can find truth is to see the truth with
> real eyes because there are proofs showing the correct relegion of
> the world.

There is no correct religion. All religion is man made. The truth has to do with the spiritual realities that Jesus came to give us. He said that His kingdom was not of the world. The best that religions can do is give you war. Jesus gives us peace and it is His peace that resides in the hearts of believers.

> some other also accept Chrit but not as god only as a
> messenger/prophet of God.this is because there came 24 lac prophets
> till from the day of worlds construction and every prophet/messenger
> showed proofs in the form of miricles so no one can call any ony of
> them to be god because they all showed with the power of God.

All the prophets testified of Jesus.

> There are some Prophets in the history of mankind who showed
> miricles greater than of those which Christ showed eg."Abrahab the
> well known prophet of God remained alive in the threatning fire even
> after a week.then why people don't call him god.

The don't call him God because he isn't God.
