“Fathe and Lord”
In the same way, when the word ‘Father’ is used to refer t...o God it shouldn’t be taken literally. Instead, it’s a way of saying God is the creator, sustainer and supreme master of all.
There are many verses for us to understand this symbolic meaning of the word ‘Father’, for example: “One God and Father of all.” (Ephesians 4:6)
Also, Jesus was sometimes called ‘Lord’ by the disciples. This term is used in the original languages of the Bible, for God as well as for people who are held in high esteem.
For example, in the Greek New Testament, the term kyrios is used for both ‘Lord’ as well as to name t
he owner of the vineyard (Matthew 20:8), and the master who beat the disobedient servant (Luke 20.42-47).
In other parts of the Bible, Jesus is even called a ‘servant’ of God by the disciples:“The God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.” (Acts 3:13) This clearly shows that when ‘Lord’ is used to refer to Jesus, it is a title of respect, not of divinity.
Attempts are made to explain the complexity of the above issues of the nature of God and the nature of Jesus, which can be quite confusing or unsatisfying.
However, the key point to ponder is: Why would God make it so hard to understand? How do these complicated teachings compare with the simple, clear and pure teachings of the concept of God in Islam?

Jesus: The Prophet
In Judaism, Jesus (peace be upon him) is denied as the Messiah.
This is in stark contrast to Christianity where he is worshipped as a deity, or the son of God. Islam takes the middle ground and acknowledges Jesus as an honourable Prophet and Messenger of God, as well as the Messiah, but Muslims do not worship him – as worship is for God alone who created Jesus and everything that exists.
“(Jesus) said, ‘Indeed, I am the slave of Allah (God).
He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet.’”Quran 19:30 Mehr anzeigen

It's sad to see that only 160K likes to this valuable page. Governments should to think about bringi...ng rapid changes in education systems by implementing wildlife conservation as a subject from elementary level itself.

Between 2001 and 2007, I worked on the reintroduction of a species that disappeared in southern Euro...pe in the 1980s. The IUCN guidelines in relation to the reintroduction of species were an essential pillar in which that project and all those we worked on it, we crowded to try to make it a success. That project is still alive today and bearing fruit, although there is still much to do and improve. Mehr anzeigen
