Muslim Cause Difficulty Christian Woman, Then THIS Happens

The air in the bustling city square hummed with the voices of people from all walks of life, each discussing their beliefs, their truths, their journeys. Among them, there was a Christian woman named Rose, known for her quiet strength and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. She worked as a flight attendant for Qatar Airways, traveling the world, but her heart was rooted in a deep understanding of the Kingdom of God, which she believed Jesus had introduced to the world—not a mere religion, but a divine governance that transcended human concepts of faith.

One day, during a public gathering, Rose found herself in a conversation with a prominent Muslim scholar, Zakir, who had gained a reputation for debating religious issues with fervor and confidence. He had his own understanding of Jesus, one that did not align with Rose’s beliefs. As the crowd watched, Rose stood before him, determined to express her perspective. She was used to these discussions, having encountered many before, but this one felt different. Zakir was known for his sharp arguments, and she wanted to make sure her words were clear, respectful, and grounded in the truth she had lived by for so long.

“Tell me, Zakir,” Rose began, “you’ve said that Jesus was a religious leader, but I’ve come to understand that Jesus didn’t come to introduce a religion. He came to bring the Kingdom of God to this earth, a government of Heaven, not just another man-made faith. I want to know, which religion is God?”

Zakir, with a calm yet confident demeanor, interrupted her. “Please, sister, one question at a time,” he said. “You’ve asked too much at once. Let’s tackle the first part of your question.”

Rose nodded, patiently waiting for him to answer. Zakir’s response was typical of his style—assertive and unapologetic. “I never said that Jesus was a religious leader,” he clarified, “but he was a messenger of God. There’s a difference, and you must understand that. A messenger is far superior to any religious leader, and this is what Jesus was. Muslims believe in Jesus Christ, too. He was one of the mightiest messengers of God, born miraculously, and he performed miracles. We believe in his role as the Messiah, but the difference between our faiths lies in your belief that Jesus is God, a claim which we reject.”

Rose felt a flicker of frustration rise in her chest, but she remained composed. She had heard this argument before—many times—and she knew this was her moment to speak her truth clearly and respectfully.

“But Zakir,” she replied, “while I understand your perspective, I must respectfully disagree. You claim that Jesus didn’t say ‘I am God’ or ‘Worship me,’ and yet, when we look at the Bible, we see clear indications of his divine nature. For example, in the Gospel of John, it says, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.’ That, to me, is a clear statement of divinity. The Word is God, and that Word became flesh. How can you deny this?”

Zakir shook his head. “No, sister, you are misinterpreting these verses. What you’re quoting from John is not the direct words of Jesus. Jesus himself never said these things. These are the words of a Jewish philosopher named Philo, not the direct words of Jesus. You see, the Bible—especially in the Gospel of John—doesn’t support your claim. And even if it did, it doesn’t change the fact that there’s no unequivocal statement where Jesus says, ‘I am God.’”

Rose stood firm, her heart filled with the peace that only her relationship with Jesus could bring. She calmly responded, “Zakir, I respect your knowledge, but I don’t believe you’re seeing the full picture. Even though Jesus didn’t say the exact words ‘I am God, worship me,’ his entire life and ministry reveal his divinity. He healed the sick, raised the dead, forgave sins, and spoke with the authority of God. These are not things that any mere human can do. He was not just a prophet—he was God in the flesh, sent to save humanity.”

Zakir, though still calm, could sense the unwavering conviction in Rose’s words. “You see, sister,” he began, “this is where our paths diverge. You believe Jesus was God, but Islam teaches that Jesus was a mighty prophet, a messenger of God. He was born of a virgin, he performed miracles, but he never claimed to be God. He never said, ‘Worship me.’”

Rose took a deep breath and continued, “But Zakir, look at the miracles Jesus performed. Can you really say that a mere man could perform such acts? The Bible says that Jesus forgave sins, something only God has the authority to do. He gave sight to the blind, healed the sick, and even raised the dead. And yet, you claim he didn’t claim divinity?”

The crowd around them had grown quiet, captivated by the exchange. Zakir hesitated for a moment before responding, “It is true that Jesus performed miracles, but those miracles were done through the power of God, not through his own power. He was a servant of God, as all prophets are.”

Rose smiled gently, her faith unwavering. “I agree, Zakir. Jesus did perform miracles through the power of God. But what makes him unique is that he didn’t just perform miracles; he claimed to be one with God. He said, ‘I and the Father are one.’ He didn’t just serve God; he was sent by God to show the world that God was in him and he was in God.”

Zakir looked at her, his expression thoughtful. “But Jesus never directly said, ‘I am God.’ And if he didn’t say it, then how can you be sure of it?”

Rose’s heart swelled with compassion for him. “Zakir, the truth of Jesus’ divinity isn’t about specific words. It’s about the actions he took, the life he lived, and the ultimate sacrifice he made on the cross for the salvation of mankind. He was the Word made flesh, and through his death and resurrection, he proved that he was not just a prophet—he was the Son of God. His life revealed the truth.”

Zakir stood silently for a moment, as if weighing her words. Rose could see that, despite their differences, he respected her conviction. She didn’t need to convince him in that moment; she only needed to share the truth as she knew it. She had planted a seed, and perhaps one day, it would grow.

As the conversation ended, the crowd slowly dispersed, leaving Rose and Zakir standing there, the air between them still thick with the weight of their discussion. Rose knew that the path to understanding was long, but she had spoken the truth in love, and that was all that mattered.

Sᴇᴇ Mᴏʀᴇ: Jesus ‘wasn’t called Jesus’ as scientists say Son of God went by something else

Jesus’ name has been through various different translation throughout the years, however historian now claim Jesus’ real name might be closer to the name we now know as ‘Joshua’

Jesus Christ probably had a totally different name, experts have sensationally claimed. Boffs reckon he would have gone by a moniker in his native language of Aramaic which would be unrecognisable to us.

It is a far cry from our modern tongue and the name Jesus has letters which were not even used in written language until 1,500 years after the ‘son of God’ died. The name of Christianity’s main figure has been mangled over time after being repeatedly translated – mutating from Aramaic to Hebrew, then Greek and into Latin.

It finally received an English translation in the 16th century by which time it had become ‘Jesus’.

In Hebrew this name is written as “Yeshu” which is closer to the English name “Joshua.”(Image: Getty Images)

Linguists also claim the surname was not ‘Christ’ and instead would have been linked to his home town of Nazareth in Israel. It means Jesus’ real name was probably actually Yeshu Nazareen. Professor Dineke Houtman, an expert on the relationship between Judaism and Christianity said: “We cannot know for sure which languages Jesus spoke.

“However, given his family background in Nazareth, we can assume his day-to-day language was Aramaic.”

The religious studies boff, from the Protestant Theological University in the Netherlands, said Jesus with a hard ‘J’ wasn’t a name that existed at the time he lived.

Professor Houtman added: “His name would probably have been in Aramaic – Yeshua. It is likely that this is also how he introduced himself. Another possibility is the shorter form Yeshu which is the form used in later rabbinic literature.”

The name Yeshu was as popular as the name Arthur is today. Professor Candida Moss, of Birmingham University added: “Most scholars agree that his name was Yeshua or possibly Yeshu, which was one of the most common names in first-century Galilee.”

And experts cast doubt on the name ‘Christ’ too. Historian Dr Marko Marina, of Zagreb University said: “In the ancient world, most people didn’t have a last name as we understand it today. Instead, they were identified through other means, such as their parentage, place of origin, or other distinguishing characteristics.

“For example, someone might be referred to as ‘John, the son of Zebedee’ or ‘Mary Magdalene’, with ‘Magdalene’ probably indicating she was from a place called Magdala.”

Many scholars agree Jesus, who was frequently referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, would likely have incorporated his hometown into his name.
