As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,
As I was reading the Bible online (a hobby that I have for reading the Noble Quran and the Bible during my downtime), I ran into the following:
**************************************
THE DEFINITION OF "GOD" IN THE BIBLE:
**************************************
Ezekiel 28
New International Version (NIV)
A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre
28 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, say to the ruler of
Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘In the pride of your heart
you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne of a god
in the heart of the seas.â€
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.
3 Are you wiser than Daniel?
Is no secret hidden from you?
4 By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
in your treasuries.
5 By your great skill in trading
you have increased your wealth,
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.
6 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Because you think you are wise,
as wise as a god,
7 I am going to bring foreigners against you,
the most ruthless of nations;
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom
and pierce your shining splendor.
8 They will bring you down to the pit,
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the seas.
9 Will you then say, “I am a god,â€
in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a mortal, not a god,
in the hands of those who slay you.
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised
at the hands of foreigners.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’â€
Also don't forget, that the Old Testament also called the Jews "Gods, Sons of the Most High": http://www.answering-christianity.com/godtitle.htm.
Feel free to share your thoughts dear brothers and sisters. The Bible clearly uses the "God" and "Son" titles loosely.
Take care,
Osama Abdallah
