IS JESUS GOD? MUSLIMS AGREE WITH JEWS But what is noteworthy is that the Jews, like the Muslims, deny that Jesus is God in flesh. Therefore, the Muslims are united with the Jewish people in denying who Jesus claimed to be, the I am. It is not necessary that Jesus say a certain phrase in order for the truth of who he is to be made clear. The issue is not if he speaks a certain sentence that we construct in present terms in order to satisfy our theological demands. The issue is what Jesus said in the context and culture of the time in which he spoke. Finally, we know that Jesus is God in flesh because the Bible tells us so. • John 1:1, 14, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . . . 14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. • John 20:28-29, Thomas answered and said to Him, My Lord and my God! 29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed. • Heb. 1:8, But of the Son He says, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.
