Jesus had no Divine Will according to the New Testament. How could he be our Creator?
The sections of this article are:
1- Jesus said he had no Divine Will.
2- Jesus' repetitive Prayers contradicted his very own teachings.
3- Jesus begged GOD Almighty for Mercy.
4- Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty only once during his most desperate times! This
is hypocrisy by the way.
5- GOD Almighty Created pain and death, and yet, Jesus feared them.
6- The GOD of the O.T. Punishes to death those who
cursed HIS HOLY NAME. How could Jesus escape to Egypt from King Herod and
still be this Mighty and Arrogant GOD?
7- In original Hebrew, "son of GOD" literally
means "SERVANT OF GOD". See proofs.
8- What about the authority in Heaven and Earth that was given to Jesus?
9- None of Jesus' Miracles were unique in the Bible.
10- Conclusion.
1- Jesus said he had no Divine Will:
Let us look at the following from the Bible:
Matthew 26:36-44
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet
not as I will, but as you will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men
not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
saying the same thing.
Very Important Note: The liars
from the English translators should've wrote "...Yet
not as I WISH, but as you WILL...". This would've been
the most proper and accurate translation by the polytheist trinitarian pagans who are
dying to prove the lie about Jesus being the Creator of the Universe by any cost, even
through lying and deceiving.
There are a number of alarming verses in the Bible that pass through the polytheist trinitarian christians without being noticed or pondered upon. Matthew 16:39 above raises a very serious red flag about Jesus being our so-called "Creator" and the whole lie of the polytheist trinity paganism religion. Jesus in the verse openly admitted that he basically had no Divine Will -- that he is nothing without GOD Almighty -- that he is just a creation from GOD Almighty.
This is by the way was not the first time Jesus openly admits this. There are several verses and situations where Jesus refuted the polytheist trinity pagan lie:
1- Mark 10:18 Jesus said “And Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.”
2- John 14:28 Jesus said "My Father (GOD) is greater than I"
3- John 8:28 Jesus said "I do nothing of myself"
4- Matthew 24:36 Jesus said "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
5- Even in the Old Testament, the foretold Prophet, Jesus, was said to have the Spirit of Fearing GOD Almighty in him:
Isaiah 11:1-3 "1. A shoot will
come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him (Jesus)-- the Spirit of
wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of
counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD
(Jesus fearing his GOD)--
3. and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his
eyes, or
decide by what he hears with his ears;"
By the way, the Spirit of GOD Almighty came upon many in the Bible before and after Jesus.
6- Also, the "God" (hotheos) title that was given to Jesus was also given to many others before him and after him in the Bible. Ironically, even satan was called "hotheos" (God) in the New Testament. The only Unique Attribute for GOD Almighty that wasn't given to anyone else beside GOD Almighty is "Yahweh", which means "The Eternal". Please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/godtitle.htm to see the full proofs.
2- Jesus' repetitive Prayers contradicted his very own teachings:
Let us look at the following from the Bible:
"Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed....(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 16:39)"
"So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 26:44)"
"One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. (From the NIV Bible, Luke 6:12)"
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be HEARD FOR THEIR MUCH SPEAKING. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
Matthew 26:36-44
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you
will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men
not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more
and prayed the third time, SAYING THE SAME THING.
Jesus said "no vain repetitions" in Prayers. But how many times did Jesus pray over the same thing in such a small period of time? 3 times in Matthew 26:36-44, and endlessly in Luke 6:12. Let us again look at the following verse:
"One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. (From the NIV Bible, Luke 6:12)"
When Jesus prayed ENDLESSLY all night long in Luke 6:12, did he not repeat his prayers? His main focus was on GOD Almighty saving him from the crucifixion. Jesus' prayers all night long, which obviously were far more than just 3 times, were repetition after repetition after repetition, compromising his very own commands about not doing "vain repetitions."
It is really interesting that Jesus decided to bow down to Allah Almighty. This rare and not so usual practice in Christianity is something we Muslims do 5 times every single day. What Jesus did during his most desperate times in trying to glorify GOD Almighty in the best possible way he can to grab GOD Almighty's attention and to show Him that he (Jesus) is giving Him (GOD) everything he can and is bringing himself in the lowest possible humility before Him, we Muslims simply do it 5 times every day without being desperate to glorify GOD Almighty.
Very Important Note: Practicing Muslims do ask GOD Almighty in Prayer when their faces are on the ground during the 5-daily prayers. I was taught that this is the best position to ask Allah Almighty in. My point is that what Jesus did during his most desperate times, we Muslims do it every single day! It seems to me that any practicing Muslim glorifies GOD far better than what Jesus in the Bible did and will ever do.
The incident of Jesus bowing to GOD Almighty in worship is often ignored by Trinitarian Christians. I am surprised that Trinitarian Christians don't even have any problem with the seriousness of this incident. Let us look at few points here:
1- When Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty only
during his desperate times and not in any other time, this tells us that Jesus did not
worship GOD Almighty properly during his normal times, because he immediately compromised
the normal way that he taught his followers:
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
2- Jesus did not pray in secret to GOD Almighty. He prayed in a totally different and better way. Jesus contradicted his very own commands.
3- Jesus' incident was simply telling GOD: GOD, I will not sit in my room and pray to you in secret as I commanded my followers. I will do even more to you. I will bow down to you and worship you in the maximum humility, and I pray that you save me from the pain that I am about to go through. This is my extra bonus prayer to you GOD! Please save me!!
Of course this unclassy and hypocritical standard that lacks dignity and respect to GOD Almighty by all means by the Jesus of the man-altered and corrupted bible is not accepted in Islam. You either pray to GOD Almighty consistently or you don't. But to treat GOD Almighty like this is frankly in my opinion blasphemous, because you're attempting to act smart with GOD Almighty and not be a true Servant.
In other words, once you get your thing out of Him, then you won't "degrade yourself" and bow down to Him again?
That's blasphemy!!
3- Jesus begged GOD Almighty for Mercy:
Let's again go back to Matthew 16:39:
Matthew 26:36-44
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, MAY THIS CUP be taken
from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men
not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
SAYING THE SAME THING.
Again, Very Important Note: The
liars from the English translators should've wrote "...Yet
not as I WISH, but as you WILL...". This would've been
the most proper and accurate translation by the polytheist trinitarian pagans who are
dying to prove the lie about Jesus being the Creator of the Universe by any cost, even
through lying and deceiving.
4- (as mentioned above but with different details) Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty only once during his most desperate times! This is hypocrisy by the way:
Let's again go back to Matthew 16:39:
Matthew 26:36-44
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he FELL WITH HIS
FACE TO THE GROUND AND PRAYED, "My
Father, if it is possible, MAY THIS CUP be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but
as you will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men
not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
SAYING THE SAME THING.
We Muslims prostrated with our faces down to the ground to GOD Almighty at least a total
of 17 times in the 5-daily sets of Prayers. We do it while we're not desperate to
seek GOD Almighty's Mercy. Jesus on the other hand so hypocritically compromised
again his "prayer rules" and he eventually found the BEST WAY
to worship GOD Almighty! He found it during his most desperate times. No
Prayer is better than putting your face down to the ground before THE LORD ALMIGHTY, your
Creator, and make your wishes and Prayers to Him while your face is humbled down to the
ground before HIM.
The fact that Jesus compromised even his rules of Praying and prostrated to GOD Almighty like we Muslims do ONLY PROVES that the Islamic way of Praying is indisputably THE BEST WAY, even according to Jesus himself (not that I as a Muslim require his approval)!!
It also proves beyond the shadow of the doubt that Jesus is NOT my Creator, because my Creator is THE ALMIGHTY GOD who doesn't beg and cry and pray to anyone.
5- GOD Almighty Created pain and death, and yet, Jesus feared them:
Let's again go back to Matthew 26:36-44:
Matthew 26:36-44
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he FELL WITH HIS
FACE TO THE GROUND AND PRAYED, "My Father, if it is possible, MAY
THIS CUP be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them
sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
SAYING THE SAME THING.
The very fact that Jesus begged GOD Almighty for Mercy because he feared the pain and
death of the crucifixion proves that Jesus FEARED PAIN AND DEATH! Yet, the Creator
of this Universe, GOD Almighty, did also Create pain and death. It doesn't make any
sense that GOD would fear the pain and death that He Created. This again proves that
Jesus is not the Creator of the Universe.
Don't forget also that according to the Old Testament, Jesus was supposed to have the Spirit of Fear (Fearing GOD Almighty) in him:
Isaiah 11:1-3
"1. A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from
his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him (Jesus)-- the Spirit of
wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of
counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD
(Jesus fearing his GOD)--
3. and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his
eyes, or
decide by what he hears with his ears;"
I don't know about your god, but my GOD Almighty doesn't fear anything!
6- The GOD of the O.T. Punishes to death those who cursed HIS HOLY NAME. How could Jesus escape to Egypt from King Herod and still be this Mighty and Arrogant GOD?
If Jesus is our Creator as the polytheist trinitarian pagans believe, then how could he run away from King Herod to Egypt, while GOD Almighty in the Old Testament Punishes to death those who even curse his Holy Name?
How could GOD be so Mighty and Arrogant in the Old Testament, and yet be a total pussy who runs away from a creation of His in the New Testament?
Let us look at what the Bible says:
Leviticus 24
15 Say to the Israelites: 'If anyone curses his God, he will
be held responsible;
16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death.
The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he
blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
Matthew 2
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to
Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child (Jesus) and his mother (Mary) and ESCAPE to
Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child
to kill him."
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt,
.........
19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to
Joseph in Egypt
20 and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for
those who were trying to take the child's life are dead."
There are few points to notice here:
1- Jesus can not be the Arrogant and Sovereign GOD Almighty who Punishes to death those who Curse His Holy Name, because he escaped to Egypt from the fear of getting killed. Even if GOD was a "baby", that still should not take away even an atom from His Will, Might, Glory, Sovereignty and Holiness. Jesus' escape certainly erases all of that and makes GOD a weak, absolutely helpless and coward -- that is assuming that the polytheist trinity pagan LIE is true, which it isn't.
2- For those Roman Catholic pagans who worship Mary, Mary too can not be a GODDESS because she too escaped to Egypt. She can't be the wife of GOD Almighty. And GOD Almighty does not have wives anyway:
"To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things. (The Noble Quran, 6:101)"
Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"They say: 'God hath begotten a son' :Glory be to Him.-Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him. (The Noble Quran, 2:116)"
7- In original Hebrew, "son of GOD" literally means "SERVANT OF GOD". See proofs:
Please visit:

Son of GOD: Some Muslims' Misconception.
"Son of Man" does not mean "GOD" or "Son of GOD"
8- What about the authority in Heaven and Earth that was given to Jesus?
Let us look at what the Bible says:
Matthew 28
17 When they saw him, they worshiped
him; but some doubted.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Luke 4
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an
instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6 And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor,
for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.
7 So if you worship me, it will all be yours."
Luke 10
18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like
lightning from heaven.
19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions
and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are
written in heaven."
Few points to notice:
1- In Matthew 28:17, it is important to know that the polytheist trinitarian pagan liars of the English translation purposely put "worshiped him" to make Jesus appear to be the GOD of the Universe. The correct translation is "kneeled to him". The reason I say this is because people in the Bible are kneeled to and even prostrated to:
1 Samuel 24
7 With these words David rebuked his men and did not allow
them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
8 Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, "My lord the
king!" When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and
prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
9 He said to Saul, "Why do you listen when men say, 'David is bent on harming you'?
Notice how David called Saul "my lord". While this is elaborated on much greatly in this article, but I just find it quite ridiculous that trinitarian Christians use "Jesus is lord" as a desperate proof for their lies about Jesus being our so-called "Creator".
Also, when David prostrated his face down to the ground to Saul, was he worshiping Saul as if Saul was GOD Almighty?
Please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/worship_jesus.htm for more details and refutations.
2- In Luke 4:5-6, even satan had been given "power" and "authority".
3- In Luke 10:18-20, we again see that satan had been given a great authority, and Jesus gave the authority that was given to him to his disciples so they can over come the evil of satan.
4- Since Jesus was GIVEN the "authority" and "power", then this obviously means that GOD Almighty Gave it to him. It also means that Jesus DID NOT OWN this authority and power. He had to wait for it to be GIVEN to him from GOD Almighty.
5- The speech in Matthew 28:17-19 is a figurative one. I've written a detailed article showing many examples of obvious figurative and metaphoric speech in the Bible.
9- None of Jesus' Miracles were unique in the Bible:
Many trinitarians falsely claim that since Jesus performed awesome miracles then he must be the Creator of the Universe. What they apparently don't know is that none of Jesus' miracles were unique! Prophets in the Old Testament before Jesus did raise the dead, cure the blind, heal leprosy, etc...
No Prophet could perform any type of Miracle without the Permission and Will of Allah Almighty:
"It is not fitting for a man that God should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with God's permission, what God wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise. (The Noble Quran, 42:51)"
Please visit: Jesus' Miracles were not unique in the Bible.
By the way, "Allah" was GOD Almighty's original Name in the Bible according to the Hebrew and Aramaic sources.
10- Conclusion:
After reading all of this, do you still have the slightest doubt that Jesus is only a creation of GOD Almighty and a great Prophet? Do you still believe in the biggest lie satan ever invented, which is the polytheist trinity paganism?
Embrace Islam, the True and Divine Religion of GOD Almighty, and you will be saved! Islam is very simple and requires no mediators between you and your Creator. If you believe in the Absolute One and Living GOD Almighty and associate no partners (gods, idols, human, etc...) with Him, then you have become a Muslim. You do not need to believe in satan's invented LIES about believing in a mediator (Jesus or anyone else) to be between you and your Creator. You have been given the irrevocable Divine Right to have a straight and direct relationship with GOD Almighty:
"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. (The Noble Quran, 2:186)"
"It was We Who Created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. (The Noble Quran, 50:16)"
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth- Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds! To Him be Glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!. (The Noble Quran, 45:36-37)"
"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"
As you've also seen above, the Biblical "Son of God" is only an invented LIE about GOD Almighty having children, Divine Children. In the original Hebrew, "son of GOD" literally means "Servant of GOD". GOD Almighty Has no sons and no partners. Everything beside Him is a creation.
Jesus is a hypocrite for bowing down to GOD Almighty only once and during his most desperate times!
