A Muslim told me, “If you actually followed your Bible, you wouldn’t worship Jesus as God.”
So I asked him a simple question: “According to the Bible, what was the major reason Jesus was killed?”
He replied, “I don’t believe Jesus was killed. Allah raised him up.”
I said, “Brother, please, we’re discussing the Bible, not the Quran. You told me that if I followed my Bible, I wouldn’t worship Jesus as God. So, according to that same Bible, why was Jesus killed?”
He came back with, “Your Bible is corrupted. Jesus wasn’t killed. Allah raised him up.”
I said, “Not the Quran again! We’re discussing the Bible. Just answer the question!”
Then came another escape route: “Your Bible is corrupted. You don’t even know the authors. They are anonymous. Jesus didn’t write the Bible.”
At this point, I decided to make things easier for him. I said, “Okay, for the sake of argument, let’s assume I accept all that. But according to the Bible, why was Jesus killed?”
His answer? “The Jews always killed the prophets God sent to them. Jesus was killed because He told them to return to the worship of the one true God.”
I asked, “Where exactly does the Bible say that was the major reason?”
He replied, “That’s what the prophets were killed for!”
I mean, are we having a Bible discussion or a game of religious hide-and-seek? 😂
Do you see the irony? He couldn’t answer a straightforward question about the very Bible he accused me of not following. Instead, he kept changing the subject whenever the answer became uncomfortable.
According to the biblical account, one of the central accusations against Jesus was blasphemy because of His divine claims.
John 10:30–33 makes this particularly clear. Jesus said, “I and My Father are one.” The Jews picked up stones to stone Him, explaining that it was because He, being a man, made Himself God.
John 5:18 also records that they sought to kill Him because He called God His Father, making Himself equal with God.
So, if you tell me to follow the Bible, please don’t be surprised when I actually follow what it says!
The Bible presents Jesus as the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1, 14).
He was truly human and truly God.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-5
Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and....
does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
JOHN 1:14
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory, such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. [AMP]
DEUTERONOMY 28:1
IF YOU will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.(AMP).
