My Muslim friend, the person of Jesus

If you read some of my blogs in the past, you have read about the distinctives of the Lord Jesus in the Qur'an.

The Lord Jesus Christ, is an inherent attribute that is exclusively distinctive of God, and that God did not share any of those distinctives with any human, at all, not even with His preferred prophets, simply because God does not give His glory to others nor share it with them.

In the meantime, you find that the Lord Jesus did not only enjoy one of those attributes, but the Qur'an itself has testified and pointed out that Christ had in Himself at least fifteen of the attributes that are exclusively God's. All those Qur'anic testimonials were just to confirm the Bible accounts that tell us that the Almighty God Himself became incarnate in the form of a man, which is something that is easy for an Omni-potent God.

The Bible says: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God....and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
"And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the flesh..." (1 Timothy 3:16).

Thus, the truth was clear in the following verse of the incarnation: "Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore, God also hath exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
(Philippians 2:6-11).
