Jesus (pbuh) is God because he was the Beloved Son of God - Dr Zakir Naik

COGQA-6

Questioner: My name is Pascal. I’m a teacher by profession. I’m a Christian. Taking for granted that you agree the Gospel translated into English which we Christians believe. I will quote these examples. No. 1 in all the 4 Gospels when Christ came out of the waters of Baptism there was a voice from heaven saying “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, Listen you to him.” In the same way no. 2 on Mount Tabor when he was transfigured and when his face shown like the sun there was a voice from heaven saying “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Listen you to him.” And some of the times when he cast out the devils they came out of the men proclaiming “Thou son of the living God why have you come to torture us before the time.” And again before the high priest when the high priest asked to him “In the name of the living God, I ask thee are you the son of the living God?” Christ says “Thou has said it” And the priest, and the no. 5 the high priest of the scribes when they accused Jesus before the pilot they said “This man says he is the son of God. He is blaspheming according to our religion. Therefore we want to crucify him” Pilot didn’t know about it. The very reason why they wanted to put Christ on the cross is that he claimed himself to be the son of God because even though he didn’t directly say I’m the son of God, he’s indirectly said. Suppose I say you are Dr. Zakir Naik and you are MBBS doctor and you tell me yes brother you have said it. It’s not about saying that yourself saying I’m Dr. Zakir Naik, MBBS in the same way Christ even though he didn’t say I am the son of God, he has approved it. Perhaps out of modesty he didn’t say I’m the son of God. Again one more example…

Dr. Zakir: Brother, brother your question… brother your question you’ve already quoted 5 verses without giving references. What’s your question brother?

Questioner: No-no I have not come prepared for that. That’s why I not quote…

Dr. Zakir: Fine I’ll give you the reference, no problem brother. I’ll give you the reference, I’ll help you. I’ll help you brother, no problem. What’s your question? Do you mean to say by quoting all these 5 things Jesus claimed divinity?

Questioner: YES!

Dr. Zakir: Fine. I’ll give you a reply. My challenge brother was point out a single unequivocal statement in the complete Bible where Jesus Christ (pbuh) himself says that ‘I am God’ or where he says ‘worship me’ I am ready to accept Christianity. You did not point out a single statement, unequivocal statement, in the complete Bible where Jesus Christ (pbuh) himself says that I am God or where he says worship me. Here is the Bible brother, this is the King James Version and since you are a teacher and you claim to be a Pastor… you are a Pastor?

Questioner: No, No, No

Dr. Zakir: You are a teacher?

Questioner: I’m a teacher and honorably believer of Christianity.

Dr. Zakir: Fine. There is something like a Red Letter Bible. Whatever Jesus Christ said, it is in red. Now you mentioned 5 things and these things can be clubbed into two things. First you quoted that everywhere… you didn’t quote correctly. What you wanted to quote was the Gospel of John ch. No. 3 verse no. 16 which says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, whosoever believeth in him shall not die but have everlasting life...
