LORD JESUS CHRIST makes several claims in the Bible that only God can make, such as forgiving sins, judging mankind, and granting eternal life. He accepts worship from his disciples and others, showing he believed himself to be divine. While Muslims argue Jesus never directly said "I am God, worship me", he made statements that imply divinity, such as claiming to be the "First and the Last" and existing before the world was created. The document examines passages in the Bible and Quran to demonstrate Jesus' deity and that he is worthy of worship as God.

1. (A QUESTION ASKED BY MUSLIMS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, TO CHRISTIANS)

2. PRAISE BE TO LORD JESUS CHRIST
Dear brothers and sisters in Lord Jesus.
I decided to make this presentation, after I was confronted by the question on the
subject matter, by a Muslim man who was very close to me and my family. Although at first,
I was shocked to hear it and felt it as a challenge to my faith and belief, I managed to evade
the question by saying that; “I know who my heavenly father is, and I do not intent to give a
DNA analysis for that, nor do I want to impress upon any unwilling and prejudiced minded
person, that JESUS CHRIST is my GOD and father”.
Frankly speaking, ever since then on, my heart was discomforted and I started
discussing about the subject matter with many others in my community whom I knew.
Many of them weren’t keen at giving me an explanation, while the answers of some others
weren’t satisfactory for me. My search for the answer started on my own, and after a lot of
research works, crossed checked with copies of The Holy Quran which I bought on my own,
and THE HOLY BIBLE, both of which I possess, I was able to find satisfactory answers to
many questions related to the topic.
I felt it as my duty, to share my new found knowledge with the rest of the world, in a
way I could make it most simple and explicit, so that my Christian brothers and sisters, who
are likely to face the same question from their Muslim comrades, can give answers which
cannot be denied by Muslims, although almost all of them are clearly instructed to profess,
that Jesus was just a prophet of God, and not the Son of God and so, He is not worthy of
worship. This is because, the cardinal facts of Christianity, if accepted by a Muslim, will
make his beliefs, totally false and meaningless. With all sincerity of purpose, my journey to
the truth of my God, starts from the next slide onwards.
I appeal to all Christians going through this presentation, to note down the points
mentioned, so that you are able to defend YOUR FAITH & BELIEF IN THE TRUE GOD.

3. Muslims all over the world are clearly instructed to ask one question to every
Christian he meets at an opportune moment.
“WHERE DID JESUS SAY, I AM GOD, WORSHIP ME” in exactly the same words.
Whatever be your answer, every Muslim who would talk to you would
demand the same words in the same order from THE HOLY BIBLE, and no
matter what quotes from THE HOLY BIBLE you may say, they would keep
pressing you on the ‘same words criterion’. It is here, that you need to apply
the ‘same words criterion’ to your answer too.
Demand back from them by saying; ‘I shall tell you the answer, if you can show me
one sentence in the Holy Bible, where Jesus says “I AM ONLY A PROPHET OF
GOD, DON’T WORSHIP ME”, in exactly the same words, because that’s what
the Muslims believe about Jesus.
Muslim apologetics is not meant to get people to the truth, but is mainly meant
to confuse Christians. Once the ‘same words criterion’ is successfully
defended, it is easier to explain where and how from THE HOLY BIBLE, JESUS
CHRIST claims himself to be God. But, its here that Muslims reinterpret
differently the Biblical quotes you may say, that may conflict with their beliefs.
There are many passages common to both The Holy Quran and THE HOLY
BIBLE which shows that, certain claims can only be made by God Himself and
by no other man, be he a prophet or a saint. These claims cannot be denied
either by any Muslim or a Christian or a Jew.
Let us start the explanation of the topic, from this point.

4. The photograph of the above passage taken from The Holy Quran; SURAH 57:VERSE 3,
refers to Allah as the ‘FIRST AND THE LAST’ which is considered as one of the 99 names of
Allah. Now let us look at The Old Testament in which Prophet Isaiah says in Chapter 44:6
"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts”: 'I am the first
and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me.’ This, certainly is not a title any Prophet
of God would ever take it upon himself.
Now, let us see where LORD JESUS CHRIST said the same. In the Book of Revelations
Chapter 1:17-18, Apostle John says “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then
he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I
am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the
keys of death and Hades.” Here, Lord Jesus assumes a title which can only be
applied to God.
IS NOT JESUS ‘GOD’ WHO IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP?
POINT 1.

5. POINT 2.
The above photograph of the passage from The Holy Quran, Surah 3; verse135, agrees that the
ultimate forgiveness of sins is from God alone. When that is the case, let’s see what happened at the
time of Jesus.
Mark2:4-11 says-: Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an
opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying
on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk
like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his
spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you
thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say,
‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has
authority on earth to forgive sins.”So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your
mat and go home.”
JESUS IS SEEN FORGIVING THE SINS OF A PERSON AND HEALING HIM, WHICH The Holy Quran says,
only Allah has the authority to do so.
IF SO, IS NOT JUSUS CHRIST GOD, WHO IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP?

6. The Holy Quran, Surah 22:Verses 56 -57 -: The photograph of the above passage from The
Holy Quran clearly says that only God has the authority to Judge the righteous and the
wicked and punish those who disbelieve in Him.
In the book of Joel 3:2 God says “I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley
of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my
people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my
land.” David, in the Book of Psalms 9:7-8 says: “The Lord reigns forever; He has established
His Throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness; He will govern the
people with justice.” JESUS CHRIST as quoted in Mathew 25:31-32 says; 31 “When the Son
of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious
throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one
from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” Here, JESUS CHRIST
proclaims that he will admit some people into heaven, while many others will be cast into
the hell.
Is this not something, which God alone would do and not a Prophet.
THEN, IS NOT JESUS CHRIST GOD AND WORTHY OF WORSHIP?
POINT 3.

7. In the previous 2 slides, there is a point of contention and that is the phrase used
by Jesus Christ “SON OF MAN”. The claim ‘Son of God’ according to Jews at that
time, was not anything divine. Adam was called the son of God, Solomon was
called the song of God and so on. In fact, Psalms 82:6 says that all of humanity is
‘Sons of God’ or to say “Children of God”. But in sharp contrast, if you read
Psalms7, you can understand that the ‘Son of Man’ is a very exalted figure: not
just a human figure, but one who was worshiped. Hence, this was Jesus' favorite
self-designation and Psalm is a book of the Old Testament; which is written,
before the Birth of Christ.
Quoting this context, LORD JESUS CHRIST, used this term many times during His
public life, as in Mathew 26:64, while answering Caiaphas the high priest after his
capture for his question; “Tell us if you are the Son of God”, JESUS replied “I
am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One
and coming on the clouds of heaven” The same is also clearly told by LORD JESUS
CHRIST in Mark 10:45 when James and John wanted to be granted the seats on
the left and right of LORD JESUS, to be seated in all His Glory, He said unto them
all 45 ”For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many.”
From all this, it is now clear that the term ‘Son of Man’ which LORD JESUS CHRIST
used for Himself is indeed a mention of himself as being ‘THE SON OF THE MOST
HIGH’ or to say, THE SON OF GOD.

8. The Holy Quran Surah 22: Verse 6 The above photograph of the said passage says
that ‘God’ is reality or ‘Allah’ is Truth. This again is one of ‘Allah’s 99 names in The
Holy Quran.
Psalm 31:Verse 5 Prophet David refers to God as ‘Truth’ or to say the ‘God of
Truth’. “5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeem me, O LORD God of
truth.” This is exactly what LORD JESUS CHRIST said to His disciple Thomas as
answer to his question in John 14:6-7 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really
know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and
have seen him.”
Would any Prophet or an ordinary man, make a statement like this?
IS NOT JESUS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD AND SO WORTHY OF WORSHIP?
POINT 4

9. The Holy Quran Surah 22: Verse 7 The photograph of the said verse above says very clearly, that
God or ‘Allah’ is the one who will raise the dead. So also in 1Samuel 2: Verse 6 of THE HOLY
BIBLE says 6 “The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.”
Both The Holy Quran and THE HOLY BIBLE are unanimous in declaring this fact. This shows that
we can never expect a mere Prophet to tell his disciples that he will resurrect the dead. Now, let
us look what LORD JESUS CHRIST says in John5: 25-29. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming
and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will
live.26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in
himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. 28 “Do not be
amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and
come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is
evil will rise to be condemned. Also so, in John 11: 25 LORD JESUS CHRIST calls Himself “I am
the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, will live even if he dies.”
IF JESUS IS ONLY A PROPHET, WOULD THIS NOT BE BLASPHEMY ?
HENCE, LORD JESUS CHRIST IS GOD, AND IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP.
POINT 5

10. The Holy Quran:Surah 57:1. The photograph of the above verses clearly says; to
God ‘Allah’ alone is all Glory and that all things in Heave and on earth, declares His
Glory. This goes to mean that no man; be he a Prophet of God, can claim Glory
equal to God. Now in The Old Testament of THE HOLY BIBLE in Isaiah 42: verse 8
says, “8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another,
neither my praise to graven images”. No Prophet of God would ever declare that
he shares all the Glory of God. In sharp contrast to this, let us see what LORD
JESUS CHRIST said while praying to His Heavenly Father as told in John 17: Verse 5
“And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the Glory I had with You before
the world existed”. Is this something that Prophets say?
Hence, LORD JESUS CHRIST is GOD, is indeed worthy of worship.
POINT 6

11. OTHER INSTANCES WHERE JESUS CLAIMS TO BE LORD & GOD
Mark2:28:LORD JESUS CHRIST says that he is the “Lord even of the Sabbath”.
Mathew 22:41-46 LORD JESUS CHRIST asks what they thought about ‘Christ’, to which they
replied that he is the Son of David. He goes to correct them by quoting Psalm110:1
where David says that it was the Lord, who spoke to his Lord and if the Son of Man is his
Lord, how can Christ be the Son of David. Here again, he reiterates that HE IS LORD OF
PROPHET DAVID.
John 8:39-58 LORD JESUS CHRIST claims he has seen Abraham.
Mathew 12:6 LORD JESUS CHRIST claims that He is greater than the temple of God.
Mathew 18:20 LORD JESUS CHRIST says that wherever 2 or 3 gather in His name, He would
be there. The Omnipresence of God.
Mathew 28:20 LORD JESUS CHRIST says that His existence is perpetual (one without death).
John 16:15 LORD JESUS CHRIST makes the very startling declaration that all things that
belongs to His Father are His, as well.
LORD JESUS CHRIST, tells us to Honour Him, just we Honour his father. This, He says in
John5:21-23. “21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the
Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one,
but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they
honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who
sent him.”
Since, one of the ways we Honour the Father is by worshiping Him, and since Jesus said that
we have to Honour the Son, in the same way we Honour the Father, LORD JESUS was
indeed demanding worship.

12. Mathew 2:11 says that infant Jesus was worshiped by the three wise men.
Mathew 14:28-33 tells about an incident at sea, when the disciples of LORD
JESUS CHRIST, worshiped Him and proclaimed that He indeed is the Son of
God.
John 9:35-38 we can see the once blind man who was cured by LORD JESUS
CHRIST, professing his belief in Jesus and falling down and worshiping Him.
Mathew 28:17 says of LORD JESUS CHRIST, being worshiped by His disciples in
the mountain at Gallilee, where LORD JESUS CHRIST had told them to go.
Luke 24:52 says that LORD JESUS CHRIST was worshiped by His disciples, as
they were just lead out of Bethany before His ascension into Heaven.
John 20:27-29 says of His disciple Thomas addressing LORD JESUS CHRIST as
“My Lord and my God”.
OTHER INSTANCES WHERE LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS WORSHIPED

13. THE FINAL INFERENCE
From all the previous slides, we can proudly come to the inference that LORD
JESUS CHRIST is indeed the ‘First and the Last’; the Forgiver of sins, the Final
Judge, The Truth and the Resurrection.
LORD JESUS CHRIST, claimed that He had the Glory with the Father, even before
the world was created, that He is “Lord of the Sabbath”, and that of King David,
that He has seen Abraham and that He is greater than the Lords Temple.
LORD JESUS CHRIST has a very unique relationship with the Father, that He can
answer prayers, that He is present wherever 2 or more have gathered in His
name, that He has total authority on earth and in Heaven, that he is with His
followers forever, and that He owns everything. He has demanded, that He be
Honoured, just as His Father is Honoured, which includes worship.
These are not the claims of an ordinary human being or of a great Prophet. These
are the claims of the TRUE AND THE LIVING GOD.
AND THIS IS WHY, CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT LORD JESUS CHRIST IS INDEED GOD
AND THAT HE IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP.
