De acordo com o Alcor\u00e3o, Isa Al-Masih \u00e9 muito mais do que um simples profeta. Ele \u00e9 a Palavra e um Esp\u00edrito de All\u00e1h (An Niss\u00e1, 4: 171); Ele \u00e9 um filho puro nascido de uma virgem (M\u00e1riam, 19: 19, 20); Ele tem o poder de abrir os olhos dos cegos, curar os leprosos, ressuscitar os mortos e at\u00e9 mesmo criar (Surat-u Ali 'Imran, 3:49); e foi elevado at\u00e9 All\u00e1h (\u00c1al 'Imran, 3:55). Ele \u00e9 o Sinal da Hora (Az Z\u00fakhruf, 43:61), a Sua m\u00e3e \u00e9 a \u00fanica mulher no Alcor\u00e3o mencionada pelo nome (M\u00e1riam, 19:16) e Ele est\u00e1 na companhia mais pr\u00f3xima de All\u00e1h, onde \u00e9 honrado no futuro, como ele estava na terra (\u00c1al 'Imran, 3:45). Todas estas coisas fazem com que as pessoas se sintam atra\u00eddas por Isa Al-Masih!<\/p>\n
1 \u2013 Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) was born of a virgin distinct from all human beings and all the prophets without exception. Mary said to the angel, “She said, ‘How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?'” (Maryam 19:20).<\/p>\n
2 - Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) recebeu o\nt\u00edtulo Messias (Al-Masih): \u201cAl-Masih, Isa, filho de Maria\u2026\u201d (An Niss\u00e1\n4: 171).<\/p>\n
3 - Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) \u00e9 o \u00fanico que\n\u00e9 chamado a Palavra de Deus, que significa a express\u00e3o correta do Deus verdadeiro,\na Palavra de Deus \u00e9 eterna: \u201c[\u2026]O Messias, Jesus, filho de Maria, foi t\u00e3o-somente um mensageiro de Deus e Seu Verbo, com o qual Ele agraciou Maria [...]\u201d (Niss\u00e1 4: 171 e 'Imran 3: 45).<\/p>\n
4 - Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) \u00e9 o \u00fanico chamado Esp\u00edrito de Deus no sentido de emerg\u00eancia; portanto, Ele n\u00e3o precisou do nascimento a partir da rela\u00e7\u00e3o sexual como o resto do povo: \u201c[\u2026] O Messias, Jesus,\nfilho de Maria, foi t\u00e3o-somente um mensageiro de Deus e Seu Verbo, com o qual Ele agraciou Maria por interm\u00e9dio do Seu Esp\u00edrito.\" (An Niss\u00e1 4: 171).<\/p>\n
5 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) alone spoke in the cradle, “Say, ‘Whether you conceal what is in your hearts, or disclose it, God knows it.’ He knows everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Powerful over everything. On the Day when every soul finds all the good it has done presented. And as for the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between them. God cautions you of Himself. God is Kind towards the servants.” (Maryam 19: 29-30). The Qur’an tells us that Christ did not need anyone to teach Him anything, not even speech, “And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Tawrat and the Injil” (Al-Imran 3:48).<\/p>\n
6 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) alone is distinguished from all the prophets by being without sin. All the prophets’ sins are mentioned in the Qur’an, but not Christ’s. “The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.” (Al-Imran 3: 45).<\/p>\n
7 - Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) \u00e9 o \u00fanico que \u00e9 aben\u00e7oado para onde Ele vai \"Fez-me aben\u00e7oado, onde quer que eu esteja, e me encomendou a ora\u00e7\u00e3o e (a paga do) zakat enquanto eu viver.\u201d (M\u00e1riam 19:31).<\/p>\n
8 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) alone is distinguished from all creation: “A messenger to the Children of Israel: ‘I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave'” (Al – Imran 3: 49).<\/p>\n
9 - Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) foi capaz de fazer\nos milagres que n\u00e3o puderam ser feitos por outros: \u201cEu curo os cegos e\nos leprosos.\" (\u00c1al 'Imran 3: 49).<\/p>\n
10 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) alone was able to raise the dead: “and I revive the dead, by God’s leave” (Al-Imran 3: 49 and Table 5 110).<\/p>\n
11 - Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) conhece os segredos do invis\u00edvel: \u201cE vos revelarei o que consumis o que entesourais em vossas casas. Nisso h\u00e1 um sinal para v\u00f3s, se sois fi\u00e9is.\" \u00c1al 'Imran 3: 49).<\/p>\n
12 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) alone exchanged the responsibility of authority with God, “…And I was a witness over them while I was among them; but when You took me to Yourself, You became the Watcher over them\u2013You are Witness over everything” (Table 5: 117).<\/p>\n
13 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) alone became a Sign to people and Mercy of God, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided'” (Maryam 19:21).<\/p>\n
14- Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) profetizou sua morte e ressurrei\u00e7\u00e3o dentre os mortos: \u201cA paz est\u00e1 comigo, desde o dia em que nasci; estar\u00e1 comigo no dia em que eu morrer, bem como no dia em que eu for ressuscitado\" (M\u00e1riam 19:33).<\/p>\n
15 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) alone can give His followers a high position and confirmation of the Day of Resurrection: “God said, ‘O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing'” (Al-Imran 3:55).<\/p>\n
16 - Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) \u00e9 o sinal da hora: \u201cE (Jesus) ser\u00e1 um sinal (do advento) da Hora. N\u00e3o duvideis, pois, dela, e segui-me, porque esta \u00e9 a senda reta\" (Az Z\u00fakhruf 43: 61). Somente Isa Al-Masih (que a Sua paz esteja conosco) ser\u00e1 o juiz que vem ao mundo para julgar os vivos e os mortos. A verdade foi confirmada pelo Hadith: \"A hora n\u00e3o ser\u00e1 at\u00e9 que o Filho de Maria des\u00e7a como justo juiz.\"<\/p>\n
17 – Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) is the only one who was supported by the Holy Spirit: “When God will say, “O Jesus son of Mary, recall My favor upon you and upon your mother, how I supported you with the Holy Spirit'” (Al-Maida 5:110).<\/div><\/div>\n
The Holy Injil also says that Isa Al-Masih was perfect. Injil Acts 3:14 calls Isa “the Holy and Righteous One.” In Mark 1:23-25, Isa encounters a man who is possessed by an evil spirit. That man called Him “the Holy One of God.”<\/div><\/div>\n
The Holy Injil recognizes Isa as Al-Masih, or the “Christ,” which is the Greek word. Andrew, one of Isa’s apostles, told his brother Peter, “We have found the Messiah (Al-Masih)” (Injil John 1:41).<\/div><\/div>\n
Isa Al-Masih deu vida \u00e0queles que estavam mortos! O Santo Injil\napresenta v\u00e1rios registros espec\u00edficos disso. Um deles est\u00e1 no Injil\nMarcos 5:21-42!<\/div><\/div>\n
The Qur’an also records the vision to Mary and the virgin-birth of Jesus in two passages. See Surah 3:45-47 and Surah 19:16-22. If one had to ask why Jesus should be born in such a unique way, as no other human being has ever been so conceived, the Qur’an gives a clear answer. She was to conceive Jesus in a special way because there was to be something unique and special about her son. The virgin-birth is given constant emphasis in the Muslim scripture in the title it gives consistently to Isa, namely ibn Mariam, the son of Mary. No other woman is named in the Quran. No other woman is given such veneration as it says in Surah 3:42 that “Surely Allah has chosen you and purified you, and preferred you above the women of the world.” Why is Mary exalted in the Quran? It is because she was the mother of Jesus\u2013because she mothered the greatest among men.<\/p>\n
Por que isso \u00e9 importante? Conforme n\u00f3s veremos ao explorar mais\nquem foi Jesus pelo Alcor\u00e3o, ele tem que ser o Filho de Deus.<\/div><\/div>\n
O significado de \u201cAl-Masih\u201d \u00e9 significante quando reconhecemos que Isa\nAl-Masih \u00e9 o \u00fanico que foi mencionado na B\u00edblia ou no Alcor\u00e3o como sendo\n\u201cAl-Masih\u201d. Nenhum dos outros profetas s\u00e3o chamados assim. Refere-se\nao Ungido (Al-Mamsuh).<\/p>\n
Allah the Almighty promised King David that one of his descendants would be different from all other kings: “And it shall come to pass, when your days are ended that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you: But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever: and his throne shall be established for evermore” (Tawrat 1 Chronicles 17:11-14).<\/p>\n
Que tipo de un\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 essa? Com o que Isa Al-Masih foi ungido?
\nNos versos seguintes vemos que o Alcor\u00e3o relata a identidade de Isa Al-Masih.<\/p>\n
Em An Niss\u00e1 4:172, Al B\u00e1cara 2:88 e Al M\u00e1ida 5:111, o Alcor\u00e3o se refere ao\n\u201cEsp\u00edrito\u201d em rela\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 Isa Al-Masih.<\/p>\n
Al-Nisa 4:171, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about Allah except the truth. Al-Masih, Isa, the son of Mariam, is the Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain\u2013it is better for you. Allah is only one God. Glory be to Him\u2013that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is a sufficient Protector.”<\/p>\n
Al-Baqara 2:87, “We gave Moses the Scripture, and sent a succession of messengers after him. And We gave Isa son of Mary the clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever a messenger comes to you with anything your souls do not desire, you grew arrogant, calling some impostors, and killing others?”<\/p>\n
Al-Maida 5:110, “When Allah will say, “O Isa son of Mary, recall My favor upon you and upon your mother, how I supported you with the Holy Spirit. You spoke to the people from the crib, and in maturity. How I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. And recall that you molded from clay the shape of a bird, by My leave, and then you breathed into it, and it became a bird, by My leave. And you healed the blind and the leprous, by My leave; and you revived the dead, by My leave. And recall that I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you brought them the clear miracles. But those who disbelieved among them said, `This is nothing but obvious sorcery.'”<\/p>\n
In order to understand the meaning of the Spirit, there is a need look at the books that came first, for the Qur’an advices, “If you are in doubt about what We revealed to you, ask those who read the Scripture before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.” (Yunus 10:94).<\/p>\n
O Santo Injil descreve como o anjo Jibra`el falou com Miriam: \u201cDescer\u00e1\nsobre ti o Esp\u00edrito Santo, e o poder do Alt\u00edssimo te envolver\u00e1 com a sua\nsombra; por isso, tamb\u00e9m o ente santo que h\u00e1 de nascer ser\u00e1 chamado\nFilho de Deus\u201d (Lucas 1:35).<\/p>\n
These Qur’anic verses state clearly that Isa was more than a prophet, if we looked carefully that His anointment with the Spirit is really equal to Him been supported and empowered by the Spirit. It is important to clear some misunderstandings, for some Muslims say “Spirit” refers to the breath of life that each person has (Qur’an 15:29; 32:9; 38:73), nor refers to Jibra`el (Qur’an 16:102).<\/p>\n
Let’s us take a close look at what the Qur’an says in Al-Maida 5:110 concerning the strengthening or supporting with the Holy Spirit, this anointing of the Holy Spirit caused Al-Masih to do many miracles, “You spoke to the people from the crib, and in maturity. How I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. And recall that you molded from clay the shape of a bird, by My leave, and then you breathed into it, and it became a bird, by My leave. And you healed the blind and the leprous, by My leave; and you revived the dead, by My leave.”<\/p>\n
A B\u00edblia descreve como Ele foi ungido pelo Esp\u00edrito Santo em seu batismo: \"V\u00f3s conheceis a palavra que se divulgou por toda a Judeia, tendo come\u00e7ado desde a Galileia, depois do batismo que Jo\u00e3o pregou, como Deus ungiu a Jesus de Nazar\u00e9 com o Esp\u00edrito Santo e com poder, o qual andou por toda parte, fazendo o bem e curando a todos os oprimidos do diabo, porque Deus era com ele.\" (Injil, Atos 10:37-38)<\/p>\n
Al-Masih proclaimed the beginning of His ministry, “The Spirit of God is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Injil Luke 4:18-19)<\/p>\n
Isa Al-Masih foi ungido com o Esp\u00edrito Santo de Deus como ningu\u00e9m fora.\nSe o \u201cEsp\u00edrito de Deus\u201d significa o f\u00f4lego f\u00edsico de vida, como alguns\nmu\u00e7ulmanos ensinam, ent\u00e3o qualquer homem deve ser capaz de realizar\nmilagres.<\/p>\n
O Santo Injil declara que \u201cDeus \u00e9 esp\u00edrito\u201d (Injil Jo\u00e3o 4:24) e \"Isa \u00e9 o Verbo,\" \u201co\nVerbo era Deus\u201d (Injil, Jo\u00e3o 1:1), a Palavra Eterna de All\u00e1h (Isa), possu\u00eda o\nesp\u00edrito, a natureza divina e a Sua ess\u00eancia. Essa Palavra eterna que\ncoexistia com Deus pela eternidade se tornou carne (Injil, Jo\u00e3o 1:14).<\/p>\n
Acreditar que Isa Al-Masih era um profeta n\u00e3o \u00e9 suficiente? Quem voc\u00ea acredita que Al-Masih seja?<\/div><\/div>\n
A raz\u00e3o foi dada pelo pr\u00f3prio Jesus. Ele n\u00e3o foi um homem comum nascido por uma procria\u00e7\u00e3o comum. Ele ensinou que j\u00e1 havia existido nos c\u00e9us antes da cria\u00e7\u00e3o do universo e at\u00e9 mesmo presenciou a queda de Satan\u00e1s (Lucas 10:18).<\/p>\n
Ele ensinou que havia descido dos c\u00e9us (Jo\u00e3o 6:62), que Ele veio do Pai para\no mundo e que deixaria o mundo para retornar ao Seu Pai (Jo\u00e3o 16:28).<\/p>\n
This is why he had to be born of a virgin woman. He pre-existed his earthly life, had come into the world from heaven and had assumed human form. He had, therefore, a unique beginning to his life, just as it would end in a unique way. He came from heaven and would return there. Jesus himself drew a sharp contrast between himself and all other men when he said to the Jews, “You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world ((Jo\u00e3o 8:23<\/u>).<\/p>\n
Jesus \u00e9 diferente e superior a todos os profetas que vieram antes dEle. De fato, Ele era maior que todos os outros homens. O Anjo Gabriel respondeu quando disse \u00e0 Maria:<\/p>\n
\u201cEste ser\u00e1 grande e ser\u00e1 chamado Filho do Alt\u00edssimo... tamb\u00e9m o\nente santo que h\u00e1 de nascer ser\u00e1 chamado Filho de Deus\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (Lucas 1:32, 35). Aos nossos amigos mu\u00e7ulmanos, pedimos que considere com sinceridade o que seu pr\u00f3prio livro sagrado ensina sobre Jesus e ainda, considerar as implica\u00e7\u00f5es. Se Jesus \u00e9 realmente o Filho de Deus, somente nEle pode o homem ser reconciliado com Deus. N\u00e3o h\u00e1 outro nome no c\u00e9u pelo qual o homem possa ser salvo(Atos 4:12).<\/u>As boas novas s\u00e3o: De acordo com a B\u00edblia, Isa \u00e9 a \u00fanica pessoa que j\u00e1 viveu e n\u00e3o pecou.\nO livro acusa todos os homens, desde Ad\u00e3o, de estarem sob o poder do\npecado (Romanos 3:23). Apenas Jesus \u00e9 uma exce\u00e7\u00e3o. Muitas passagens\nregistram a inoc\u00eancia de Jesus, como 1 Pedro 2:22; 2 Cor\u00edntios 5:21; 1 Joao 3:5, etc. \u201cEu sou\napenas um Mensageiro do teu Senhor, para que eu te possa conferir\num filho justo\u201d <\/em>(Surah 19:19).<\/p>\n The words used in Arabic to describe him are ghulaaman-zakiyyan, \u201ca most-holy boy.\u201d The word zakiyya, meaning \u201cblameless,\u201d appears only twice in the Quran. The other occasion is in the story about Moses in which he met a young man who is described as being innocent. But in this case, the word was only referring to the young man\u2019s innocence of any crime deserving of death, but in Isa\u2019s case, the angel was describing his whole personality and character before he was even born. \u201cFaultless\u201d or \u201cblameless\u201d clearly means without sin. So the Quran confirms the biblical teaching that Jesus was the only sinless person who ever lived as the Quran nowhere describes anyone else in this way. On the contrary, the Quran acknowledges the sins of the other prophets and specifically refers to the sins of Adam (Sura 7:23), Abraham (26:82), Moses (28:16), Johan (37:142), and Muhammad (47:19, 48:2). In the case of Muhammad the Quran expressly commands him to ask forgiveness (wastaghfir) of his sins (dhanbika<\/u><\/em>). The words used are employed throughout the Quran in the same context and there can be no doubt about their meaning, despite the subtle attempts of many Muslim commentators to reduce them to less imposing terms (such as to ask for \u201cprotection\u201d from his \u201cshortcomings\u201d).<\/p>\n O Hadith tamb\u00e9m registra que Jesus n\u00e3o pecava. At\u00e9 o proprio Muhammad\nacreditava nisso! Isso est\u00e1 registrado em Sahih Muslim (Vol 4, pg 1261):<\/p>\n Abu Huraira comunicou ao Mensageiro de All\u00e1h quando disse que:\nSatan\u00e1s toca todos os filhos de Ad\u00e3o no dia em que suas m\u00e3es lhes\nd\u00e3o \u00e0 luz, com exce\u00e7\u00e3o de Maria e seu filho.<\/em><\/p>\n Por que Jesus n\u00e3o tem pecado? Conforme olhamos de forma detalhada, no\nAlcor\u00e3o, desse artigo, podemos ver que a \u00fanica explica\u00e7\u00e3o plaus\u00edvel \u00e9 que\nEle \u00e9 o Filho de Deus. Jesus ensinou que Ele e o Pai s\u00e3o um(Jo\u00e3o 10:30)<\/u>), and he will, therefore, always do the will of the Father. If he did anything independently of the Father, he would no longer be one with him. One who is always doing the absolute will of his Father cannot be sinful\u2013because, as the Son of God, he too is absolutely holy and always does what is pleasing to the Father (John 8:29).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n O Alcor\u00e3o\ntem apenas um testemunho que confirma a ascens\u00e3o de Jesus, mas\nisso foi suficiente para convencer os mu\u00e7ulmanos atrav\u00e9s do mundo de\nque Ele est\u00e1 l\u00e1 at\u00e9 hoje, vivo e na presen\u00e7a de All\u00e1h. O texto diz:<\/p>\n Pelo contr\u00e1rio, All\u00e1h exaltou-o at\u00e9 a Si Pr\u00f3prio (An Niss\u00e1 4:158).<\/p>\n Essa declara\u00e7\u00e3o foi feita em contraste ao pedido dos Judeus por terem\nmatado o Messias Jesus, filho de Maria. Os mu\u00e7ulmanos acreditam que\nEle foi resgatado da crucifix\u00e3o e levado aos c\u00e9us sem morrer. Apesar\ndas circunst\u00e2ncias diferentes, tanto o Alcor\u00e3o quanto a B\u00edblia ensinam\nsobre a ascens\u00e3o de Jesus, vivo e em forma f\u00edsica, da Terra aos c\u00e9us.\nClaramente, apenas o registro do Hadith que menciona o destino de\nJesus, concorda sem exce\u00e7\u00e3o, que Ele foi levado aos c\u00e9us.<\/p>\n Various Muslim teachings suggest a return of Jesus. These include various Hadiths such as Sahih Muslim (Vol 1, pg. 93), Sahih al-Bukhari (Vol 4, pg. 137), Ibn Sa’d, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir <\/em>(Vol 1, pg. 47).<\/p>\n Mas qual a raz\u00e3o do retorno dEle ao c\u00e9u? A raz\u00e3o \u00e9 impl\u00edcita em seu nascimento virginal. Ele subiu ao c\u00e9u porque veio de l\u00e1. Se tivesse voltado ao p\u00f3 como qualquer outro homem, nenhum crist\u00e3o acreditaria que Ele \u00e9 o \u00fanico Filho de Deus.<\/p>\n The Quran often speaks of the throne of God (Suras 10:4, 7:54, 13:2, etc.). This expresses the royal sovereignty which God enjoys over the whole universe. The Bible makes the same point but, to emphasize the unique ascension of Jesus to heaven and his ultimate place there, it declares that he sat down at his right hand as sons of kings in those days sat at their father’s side, being the heirs to the throne. Many passages make this clear:<\/p>\n \u201cO qual exerceu ele em Cristo, ressuscitando-o dentre os mortos e\nfazendo-o sentar \u00e0 sua direita nos lugares celestiais\u201d <\/em><\/strong>(Ef\u00e9sios 1:20<\/u>).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOra, o essencial das coisas que temos dito \u00e9 que possu\u00edmos tal\nsumo sacerdote, que se assentou \u00e0 destra do trono da Majestade\nnos c\u00e9us\u201d <\/em><\/strong>(Hebreus 8:1<\/u>).<\/p>\n Quando Estev\u00e3o viu os c\u00e9us se abrirem logo antes de ser martirizado,\nele declarou que viu Jesus \u00e0 destra de Deus(Atos 7:56)<\/u>. Jesus tamb\u00e9m\ndeclarou que Ele concederia \u00e0 todos os que conquistassem o direito\nde sentar \u00e0 Sua m\u00e3o direita, assim como Ele conquistou e sentou ao\nlado de Seu Pai no trono(Apocalipse 3:21).<\/u>). The Quran speaks of the throne of God\u2013the rightful place of Jesus after his ascension to heaven is at the right hand of Him who sits on it.<\/p>\n Por si s\u00f3 Jesus \u00e9 chamado de Messias no Alcor\u00e3o. Nenhum outro\nprofeta, patriarca ou padre recebeu esse t\u00edtulo. Em \u00e1rabe \u00e9 apenas al-\nMasih. O Alcor\u00e3o concede esse t\u00edtulo \u00e0 Jesus em onze ocasi\u00f5es\nseparadas, incluindo em Sura 4:171, onde tamb\u00e9m h\u00e1 uma nega\u00e7\u00e3o da\ndivindade de Jesus. Entretanto, o Alcor\u00e3o n\u00e3o tenta definir o t\u00edtulo. E\npara encontrar o significado do termo, algu\u00e9m deve ir buscar nas\nescrituras crist\u00e3s e judaicas para encontrar o significado. Quando\nbuscamos, encontramos as express\u00f5es \"Messias\" e \"Filho de Deus\" como\nsin\u00f4nimos!<\/p>\n Mais de 300 profecias do Antigo Testamento falam da vinda do Messias\n(\u201cCristo\u201d) e O descrevem como um homem que se encontra sobre todos\nos outros homens, incluindo os outros mensageiros de Deus, e que Ele\nteria soberania, majestade, esplendor e excel\u00eancia sobre todos os\noutros homens. E de fato, Ele teria atributos divinos. Judeus que creem\nem Jesus usaram o termo \"Messias\" e \"Filho de Deus\" igualmente. Por\nexemplo, Pedro, um dos primeiros seguidores judeus de Jesus disse:\n\u201cTu \u00e9s o Cristo, o Filho do Deus vivo\u201d (Mateus 16:16). Natanael (Jo\u00e3o 1:49),\nMarcos (Marcos 1:1) e Marta (Jo\u00e3o 11:27) s\u00e3o exemplos de outros que usaram\nos termos Messias e Filho de Deus igualmente. Caif\u00e1s, o sumo\nsacerdote judeu tamb\u00e9m usou os termos Messias e Filho de Deus\njuntos. Quando Jesus estava sendo julgado, Caif\u00e1s pediu \u00e0 Jesus: \u201cEu\nte conjuro pelo Deus vivo que nos digas se tu \u00e9s o Cristo, o Filho de\nDeus\u201d (Mateus 26:63).<\/p>\n At\u00e9 mesmo dem\u00f4nios O reconheceram dessa forma. Eles O conheciam\nda eternidade como o Filho eterno do Pai e O reconheceram em forma\nhumana quando ele ordenou com autoridade para se afastarem:\n\u201cTamb\u00e9m de muitos sa\u00edam dem\u00f4nios, gritando e dizendo: Tu \u00e9s o Filho\nde Deus! Ele, por\u00e9m, os repreendia para que n\u00e3o falassem, pois sabiam\nser ele o Cristo\u201d (Lucas 4:41).<\/p>\n Thus, by saying that Jesus is the Messiah, the Quran has duly given Jesus a title which implies that he is the very person that the Quran is otherwise at such pains to deny\u2013the Son of God<\/strong> himself.<\/div><\/div>\n \"Est\u00e1 vestido com um manto tinto de sangue, e o seu nome se chama o Verbo de Deus\u201d (Apocalipse 19:13).<\/p>\n E novamente, d\u00e3o \u00e0 Jesus o mesmo t\u00edtulo no Alcor\u00e3o que tamb\u00e9m \u00e9 usado na B\u00edblia. Como o Messias, esse \u00e9 um t\u00edtulo bem distinto e marcante. \u00c9 importante enfatizar duas caracteristicas espec\u00edficas desse t\u00edtulo. O pr\u00f3prio Jesus, em pessoa, \u00e9 o Verbo. E a fonte desse Verbo \u00e9 Deus. Nenhum dos dois livros diz que Ele entregou a palavra de Deus como outros profetas, que Ele a aprendeu ou que Ele a incorporou ou representou. Ele \u00e9 declarado explicitamente como sendo o Verbo de Deus ou a Palavra de Deus. Outros profetas receberam as mensagens de Deus, mas Jesus, de um modo \u00fanico, \u00e9 a pr\u00f3pria mensagem de Deus para o mundo!<\/p>\n Obviamente h\u00e1 algo sobre a pessoa do pr\u00f3prio Jesus que o faz ser o Verbo de Deus de um modo que nenhum outro homem foi ou ser\u00e1. A chave para entender o t\u00edtulo \u00e9 a \u00eanfase da divindade como fonte. O Verbo vem de Deus. Ele pr\u00f3prio \u00e9 a comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e revela\u00e7\u00e3o de Deus ao homem. Ele n\u00e3o apenas traz a palavra de Deus, Ele \u00e9 a Palavra de Deus.<\/p>\n We have to turn to the Bible to find the ultimate meaning of the title in view of the fact that the Quran attributes it to Jesus without explanation. We go to the very beginning of John’s gospel where this subject is treated in more detail:<\/p>\n \u201cNo princ\u00edpio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus. Ele estava no princ\u00edpio com Deus. Todas as coisas foram feitas por interm\u00e9dio dele, e, sem ele, nada do que foi feito se fez\u201d (Jo\u00e3o 1:1-3).<\/p>\n Quando amplificamos ou parafraseamos essa palavras, chegamos \u00e0 uma ideia clara do significado desse t\u00edtulo. No princ\u00edpio, antes mesmo que Deus come\u00e7asse a cria\u00e7\u00e3o, o Verbo j\u00e1 existia. Longe de ser parte da cria\u00e7\u00e3o, o Verbo estava no reino de Deus e a pr\u00f3pria natureza do Verbo era Deus. Quando Deus come\u00e7ou a moldar a cria\u00e7\u00e3o, o Verbo j\u00e1 existia na ordem divina. Ele mesmo n\u00e3o foi criado, mas todo o resto foi criado por Deus atrav\u00e9s dEle como agente. Pois apenas Ele \u00e9 o Verbo de Deus, e portanto, \u00e9 o principal meio de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o entre Deus e suas criaturas, Ele criou todas as coisas.<\/p>\n But why is Jesus the Word of God? In what way was Jesus uniquely the communication of God in himself to mankind? We go a bit further down the first page of John’s gospel and find these words:<\/p>\n \u201cE o Verbo se fez carne e habitou entre n\u00f3s, cheio de gra\u00e7a e de verdade...\u201d (Jo\u00e3o 1:14).<\/p>\n O t\u00edtulo representa duas coisas singulares sobre Jesus e o distingue de todos os outros profetas de Deus:<\/p>\n Every word of Jesus was the word of God. All the prophets who went before him spoke the Word of God when moved by the Holy Spirit, but in general conversation their speech was entirely their own. Muslims are taught to distinguish between the Quran\u2013which Muhammad received and conveyed as the word of God\u2013and his own teachings which are recorded in the Hadith as inspirational but not divine. Jesus, however, at all times spoke the word of God, whether in public preaching or in private conversation. He confirmed this on various occasions, such as:<\/p>\n I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has given me a commandment\u2013what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me <\/em><\/strong>(John 12:49-50<\/u>).<\/p>\n \u201cAs palavras que eu vos digo n\u00e3o as digo por mim mesmo; mas o Pai, que permanece em mim, faz as suas obras\u201d (Jo\u00e3o 14:10).<\/p>\n Jesus himself is God’s final message to mankind. Being the Word of God, Jesus himself is the final and complete revelation of God to the human race. The following text expresses this perfectly: O pr\u00f3prio Jesus \u00e9 a Palavra de Deus. N\u00e3o h\u00e1, portanto, independ\u00eancia entre Deus e a Sua Palavra. Quando em forma humana, Jesus incorporou o ser divino. Ele n\u00e3o era um mensageiro criado. Ele \u00e9, e por toda a eternidade ser\u00e1 a eterna Palavra de Deus.<\/p>\n Sura 4:172 diz aos crist\u00e3os que n\u00e3o exagerem em sua religi\u00e3o e que falem apenas a verdade sobre All\u00e1h. Mas, em vista desses t\u00edtulos \u00fanicos que temos considerado, \u00e9 dif\u00edcil ver onde h\u00e1 exagero. O texto do Alcor\u00e3o nega a divindade de Cristo, mas, os t\u00edtulos se aplicam \u00e0 Ele e simplesmente afirmam a \u00fanica coisa que causa tanta dor em negar. J\u00e1 vimos que os t\u00edtulos \u201cMessias\u201d e \u201cFilho de Deus\u201d s\u00e3o sin\u00f4nimos. O t\u00edtulo \u201cVerbo de Deus\u201d tamb\u00e9m \u00e9 intermut\u00e1vel com o t\u00edtulo \u201cFilho de Deus\u201d. No m\u00ednimo, esse t\u00edtulo \u00e9 mais enf\u00e1tico e sugestivo quanto \u00e0 divindade, j\u00e1 que n\u00e3o indica submiss\u00e3o da parte do \u201cVerbo de Deus\u201d como a express\u00e3o \u201cFilho do Pai.\"<\/div><\/div>\n Estes s\u00e3o os \u00fanicos em cujo cora\u00e7\u00e3o All\u00e1h tem firmado a f\u00e9 e a quem Ele tem fortalecido com a Sua Pr\u00f3pria Palavra (Sura 58:22).<\/p>\n Essas palavras tamb\u00e9m s\u00e3o usadas em Sura 4:171, ruhun-minhu, \u201co esp\u00edrito que vem dEle\u201d. Em nenhum outro lugar do Alcor\u00e3o essa express\u00e3o aparece. Em seu coment\u00e1rio sobre o Alcor\u00e3o, Yusuf Ali diz que a \u201cfrase usada \u00e9 mais forte\u201d que a para \"o Esp\u00edrito Santo\" (Ruhul-Quds) no Alcor\u00e3o, o qual identificamos no Islamismo como o Anjo Gabriel. Ali afirma que esse Esp\u00edrito de Deus \u00e9 maior que o poderoso anjo e diz que \u201co esp\u00edrito divino que n\u00e3o mais podemos definir propriamente, como n\u00e3o podemos tamb\u00e9m definir a natureza e os atributos de Deus em uma l\u00edngua humana\u201d.<\/p>\n The Muslim commentator has, unintentionally but very impressively, given a precise definition of the Holy Spirit as Christians know him in the Bible. He is the “divine spirit” who cannot be defined in human language with terminology other than that used for God himself. Yet the Quran, in the only other place where this expression occurs, applies this same divine title to Jesus!<\/p>\n So Muslims have a third title in Sura 4:171\u2013Spirit of God\u2013which attributes divine features to Jesus just as the titles Messiah and Word of God do. Significantly they are synonymous with titles used in the Bible for Jesus to further express his profile towards mankind as the eternal Son from the Father.<\/p>\n The Qur’an, in the very passage (Sura 4:171)\u2013which contains a denial of the deity of Jesus <\/strong>(“Do not say Trinity! God is only one God. Far be it from his glory to have a son.”) \u2013paradoxically attributes three titles to him which affirm his deity! He is the Anointed Son of God\/Messiah; he is the divine Word of God, and he is a Spirit coming from God. Jesus was not just another prophet called to office at an appropriate point in time. He is the message of God, he came from God, his very spirit is the Spirit of God<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Na verdade, o Alcor\u00e3o n\u00e3o apenas afirma a divindade de Jesus, mas tamb\u00e9m a compreens\u00e3o crist\u00e3 da Trindade ao se usar a express\u00e3o ruhun-minhu! Yusaf Ali reconhece abertamente que esse esp\u00edrito que o livro nos ensina \u00e9 o esp\u00edrito divino, o qual vem de Deus e deve ser definido no mesmo n\u00edvel dEle. O Alcor\u00e3o usa duas vezes essa express\u00e3o, uma para Jesus Cristo e uma para o Esp\u00edrito que vem de Deus (e fortalece os crentes) e devem ser definidos no mesmo n\u00edvel dEle. Seria dificil encontrar uma outra defini\u00e7\u00e3o mais pr\u00f3xima \u00e0 Trindade. Sura 58:22 define o Esp\u00edrito de Deus com termos sin\u00f4nimos aos aplicados para o Esp\u00edrito Santo na B\u00edblia; e em Sura 4:171, Jesus \u00e9 nominado no mesmo n\u00edvel.<\/div><\/div>\n An example of this can be found in the first book of the Torah, Genesis 16:7-13: The angel of the Lord (coming to tell Hagar she will give birth to a boy and name him Ishmael) found Hagar beside a spring of water in the wilderness, along the road to Shur. The angel said to her, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I’m running away from my mistress, Sarai,” she replied. The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.” Then he added, “I will give you more descendants than you can count.”…Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.”[a] She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?”<\/p>\n Outro exemplo do Anjo do Senhor como o Cristo pr\u00e9 encarnado, \u00e9\nencontrado em G\u00eanesis 22:11-15 e \u00caxodo 3:2-6; em ambos os\nversos este Ser que \u00e9 diferente de Allah, mas que tamb\u00e9m \u00e9 como\nEle.<\/div><\/div>\n Os livros de Mateus e Lucas no Injil d\u00e3o detalhes sobre a genealogia de Isa Al-Masih e sobre a nossa compreens\u00e3o dEle. O que isso fez pelos leitores do Injil \u00e9 prova de que Isa Al Masih \u00e9 o Messias, o filho de Davi e Abra\u00e3o e a semente prometida que colocaria inimizade entre o mal e n\u00f3s. Al\u00e9m disso, ao ler o Injil, tamb\u00e9m vemos que Jesus era humano nesta Terra, Deus em carne e osso, e que Ele veio de uma linhagem humilde e nobre. Entender a genealogia de Jesus nos ajuda a ver que All\u00e1h faz obras com e atrav\u00e9s de homens e mulheres, pessoas de diferentes etnias, passados e at\u00e9 mesmo comportamentos question\u00e1veis. (Mateus 1:17)<\/p>\n O Relato de Mateus sobre o Nascimento de Jesus (Mateus 1:18-25)<\/p>\n Ap\u00f3s a genealogia de Isa Al Masih, Mateus fala de Seu nascimento.\nSabemos que Jesus era filho de Maria e que esta era noiva de Jos\u00e9, o que\nsignifica que ainda n\u00e3o tinham consumado o casamento. Nesse momento,\nquando Jos\u00e9 soube da gravidez de Maria, ele fez o que a maioria dos\nhomens fariam; assumir que ela era ad\u00faltera e prosseguir para um div\u00f3rcio.\nEntretanto, naquele momento, um anjo de All\u00e1h apareceu \u00e0 Jos\u00e9 em um\nsonho e lhe disse para se alegrar, pois a crian\u00e7a veio do Esp\u00edrito Santo, e\nn\u00e3o de outro homem. O anjo disse \u00e0 Jos\u00e9 que a crian\u00e7a se chamaria Jesus\ne que Ele salvaria o Seu povo dos pecados. (Mt 1:21; Rm 7:24-25; Rm\n8:1)\u00a0Essa foi uma promessa cumprida! \u201cPortanto, o Senhor mesmo vos\ndar\u00e1 um sinal: eis que a virgem conceber\u00e1 e dar\u00e1 \u00e0 luz um filho e lhe\nchamar\u00e1 Emanuel\u201d (Is 7:14 e Is 9:6-7).<\/p>\n Se quiser ler toda a genealogia e a hist\u00f3ria do nascimento de Isa Al\nMasih, veja Mateus 1:1-17 e Lucas 1:1-2:20. <\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n O milagre em Seu nascimento foi que Ele nasceu de uma virgem, o\nque \u00e9 acreditado por ambos crist\u00e3os e mu\u00e7ulmanos.<\/span>Ver Alcor\u00e3o\n3:45-47; Mateus 1:18-25. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Isa Al-Masih n\u00e3o planejava vir \u00e0 Terra com toda a Sua gl\u00f3ria, mas\nsim, Sua vida, desde o nascimento at\u00e9 a morte foi expressa da\nmaneira mais humilde. N\u00e3o havia lugar para Maria e Jos\u00e9 exceto\npor um est\u00e1bulo, um lugar onde os animais eram mantidos. Foi\nnaquela noite em Bel\u00e9m, num est\u00e1bulo, que Isa Al-Masih nasceu.\nPara mais informa\u00e7\u00f5es sobre o nascimento do Messias, favor\nconsultar O Desejado de Todas as Na\u00e7\u00f5es, cap\u00edtulo 4.<\/a>.<\/div><\/div>\n 1<\/span>.

We would share personal thoughts with each other; in God’s temple we would walk together among the crowd.<\/div><\/div>\n A raz\u00e3o foi dada pelo pr\u00f3prio Jesus. Ele n\u00e3o foi um homem comum nascido por uma procria\u00e7\u00e3o comum. Ele ensinou que j\u00e1 havia existido nos c\u00e9us antes da cria\u00e7\u00e3o do universo e at\u00e9 mesmo presenciou a queda de Satan\u00e1s (Lucas 10:18).<\/p>\n He taught that he had come down from heaven (John 6:62<\/a>), and that he came from the Father into the world and would leave the world and return to the Father (John 16:28<\/a>). Jesus \u00e9 diferente e superior a todos os profetas que vieram antes dEle. De fato, Ele era maior que todos os outros homens. O Anjo Gabriel respondeu quando disse \u00e0 Maria: Yes, all prophets had some unique features, but in the case of Jesus, we find that his uniqueness is personal to himself. There is no comparison here with any other prophet. All these unique features, spanning the origin of his life, its conclusion and final destiny, are found in him alone. These unique features of Jesus\u2013with one accord\u2013support that Jesus is the Son of God.<\/p>\n Aos nossos amigos mu\u00e7ulmanos, pedimos que considere com sinceridade o que seu pr\u00f3prio livro sagrado ensina sobre Jesus e ainda, considerar as implica\u00e7\u00f5es. Se Jesus \u00e9 realmente o Filho de Deus, somente nEle pode o homem ser reconciliado com Deus. N\u00e3o h\u00e1 outro nome no c\u00e9u pelo qual o homem possa ser salvo(Atos 4:12).<\/a>As boas novas s\u00e3o: Para descobrir mais sobre esse Jesus, te encorajamos a dar o pr\u00f3ximo passo e ler a B\u00edblia por si mesmo. Voc\u00ea pode querer come\u00e7ar lendo o Livro de Jo\u00e3o antes.<\/div><\/div>\n Christianity emerged from the ancient Hebrews, who were rigorously monotheistic (and remain so today). Writers of the Old Testament address this, sometimes quoting God directly. The Decalogue begins with the divine statement: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me” (Ex. 20:2, 3). Deuteronomy 6:4 contains the definitive monotheistic statement, initially insisted within a polytheistic world: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”<\/p>\n The New Testament continues Old Testament sentiments, such as Paul “¨(1 Cor. 8:4) and James (James 2:19). What then caused these monotheistic Jews and Christians to declare belief in the three-personed Godhead? It was the biblical witness of three divine persons.<\/p>\n God refers to Himself both as “He” and “Us.” In the Old Testament the plural form of one of the nouns for God (‘elohim<\/em>) is quantitative: “Let Us make man in Our image.” The plural appears both with the verb “Let Us make” and the possessive suffix “Our” (Gen. 1:26; 11:7). Isaiah, in vision, hears the Lord: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” (Isa. 6:8).<\/p>\n In Genesis 2:24 man and woman are to become one (‘echad<\/em>), a union of two separate entities. Significantly, the same word is used of God in Deuteronomy 6:4. Marriage and God’s nature are both described as a plural unity.<\/p>\n Three divine persons are often linked together (Isa. 42:1; 61:1, 2; 63:8-11). The angel tells Mary that her child will be called holy because the Holy Spirit will come upon her (Luke 1:35). At the baptism of Jesus (Matt. 3:16, 17) three divine persons are present. Jesus links His miracles to the Spirit of God’s power (Matt. 12:28). Because of the Great Commission, new disciples are baptized in the singular “name” of the three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).<\/p>\n Pronounced evidence can be found in the gospel of John. Jesus declares: The Son is sent by the Father (14:24), coming from Him (16:28). The Spirit is given by the Father (14:16), sent from the Father (14:26) and proceeds from the Father (15:26). The Son prays for the coming of the Spirit (14:16); the Father sends the Spirit in the Son’s name (14:26); the Son sends the Spirit from the Father (15:26). The Spirit’s ministry continues the Son’s, bringing to remembrance what the Son has said (14:26), bearing witness to the Son (15:26), declaring what He hears from the Son, glorifying the Son (16:13, 14). Jesus prays that His disciples may be one as He and the Father are One (17:21).<\/p>\n Peter names three divine persons at Pentecost: “Exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, He poured out this. . . . Let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ . . . and you shall receive the . . . Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:33-38).<\/p>\n Paul often speaks of the triune God, relating salvation to the three Persons of the Trinity (2 Cor. 1:21, 22). The form as well as content of his writing communicates his belief in the book of Romans: God’s judgment upon everyone (1:18\u20133:20); justification through faith in Christ (3:21\u20138:1); life in the Spirit (8:2-30). Paul also includes them in his benedictions: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Cor. 13:14). Similar formulaic expressions appear also in Peter’s and Jude’s epistles (1 Peter 1:1, 2; Jude 20, 21).<\/div><\/div>\n Quem \u00e9 esse Filho a quem a Palavra de\nDeus insta reis e ju\u00edzes da terra e de seu povo a dar lealdade,\nhonra e gl\u00f3ria? Existe um ser humano digno de que todos os homens dependam dele?\nCertamente, nenhum ser humano merece assumir essa responsabilidade.<\/p>\n The Tawrat also declares: “Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?” (Tawrat, Proverbs 30:4). The Prophet Solomon wrote about the Son of God, who is the Word of God and the wisdom of God, saying:<\/p>\n “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth. When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth; while as yet He had not made the earth or the [e]fields, or the [f]primal dust of the world. When He prepared the heavens, I was there, when He drew a circle on the face of the deep, when He established the clouds above, when He strengthened the fountains of the deep, when He assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters would not transgress His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him, rejoicing in His inhabited world, and my delight was with the sons of men” (Tawrat, Proverbs 8:22-31).<\/p>\n The Tawrat tells us in the book of Isaiah the Prophet about the identity of the living Son of God that dispels any doubt concerning Him: “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel (God with us)” (The Tawrat, Isaiah 7:14).<\/p>\n The prophet Isaiah declares by Divine inspiration, saying: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this” (Isaiah 9:6-7).<\/p>\n Who is the Son who deserves all this loyalty and honor, as He is entitled to be called a Mighty God and an Eternal Father? Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) The Word of God, “The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him” (Al-Nisa 4:171) Who descended from heaven born of a virgin and not a created as an exception of all human beings.<\/p>\n O centro do Tor\u00e1 \u00e9 o nosso mestre\nIsa Al-Masih (que a paz esteja conosco). O Tor\u00e1 cont\u00e9m mais de 300\nprofecias sobre Al-Masih. No Tor\u00e1, voc\u00ea encontrar\u00e1 detalhes precisos sobre\ncada aspecto de Seu nascimento, Sua vida, Seu servi\u00e7o, Suas maravilhas (milagres), o\nJudeus recusando-O, Seu julgamento, seu abuso nas m\u00e3os dos soldados romanos, Seu\ncrucifica\u00e7\u00e3o, Sua morte, Seu enterro, A dura\u00e7\u00e3o de Sua perman\u00eancia na sepultura, Sua\ngloriosa ressurrei\u00e7\u00e3o e Sua ascens\u00e3o ao c\u00e9u. Todas essas profecias foram\nconclu\u00edda com precis\u00e3o. Aqui vou mencionar uma dessas profecias:<\/p>\n “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked\u2013 but with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Tawrat, Isaiah 53:1-12).<\/p>\n Ent\u00e3o, depois de tudo isso, voc\u00ea ainda duvida\nessa doutrina gloriosa? <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/body><\/html><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" According to the Qur’an, Isa Al-Masih is far more than just an ordinary prophet.

\nYes, all prophets had some unique features, but in the case of Jesus, we find that his uniqueness is personal to himself. There is no comparison here with any other prophet. All these unique features, spanning the origin of his life, its conclusion and final destiny, are found in him alone. These unique features of Jesus\u2013with one accord\u2013support that Jesus is the Son of God.<\/p>\n
\nGod so love the world that he gave his one and only son\u2013that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life <\/em><\/strong>(Jo\u00e3o 3:16<\/u>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\nThe Qur’an too declares that Jesus was without sin. When the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) appeared to Mary to announce her conception of Jesus, he said:<\/p>\n
\nHe is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities\u2013all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together <\/em><\/strong>(Colossians 1:15-19<\/u>).<\/p>\n
\nIsto tamb\u00e9m era uma profecia\nda Tor\u00e1:<\/span>:<\/p>\n\n
\nThis is why he had to be born of a virgin woman. He pre-existed his earthly life, had come into the world from heaven and had assumed human form. He had, therefore, a unique beginning to his life, just as it would end in a unique way. He came from heaven and would return there. Jesus himself drew a sharp contrast between himself and all other men when he said to the Jews, “You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world ((Jo\u00e3o 8:23<\/a>).<\/p>\n
