“I spoke to them of nothing except what you bade me. (I said) worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.”  (Surah al-Maidah 5:117) 

The Jehovah Witnesses emphasizes: 

“Time and again, Jesus showed that he was a creature separate from God and that he, Jesus, had a God above him, a God whom he worshipped, God whom he called “Father”. In prayer to God, that is, the Father, Jesus said, “You, the only true God.” (John 17:3, NLT)”[4] 

5.                 The Son could do nothing by himself. 

The Bible further clarifies the unequal ness of Jesus to God by stating: 

“I assure you, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing.” (John 5:19, NLT). 

“For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want.” (John 6:38, NLT) 

“So Jesus told them, I am not teaching my own ideas but those of God who sent me. Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teachings is from God or is merely my own.” (John 7:16, NLT). 

Is not the sender superior to the one sent?[5] 

6.       When Jesus gave his prophecy about the end of the world, he states: 

“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.” (Mark 13:32, NLT) 

          The author of “Izharul Haq” comments: 

“Had Christ been one of the hypostatic persons of God, this absence of knowledge of the Day of Judgement would not have been conceivable for him, especially keeping in view the belief that the ‘Word’ and ‘Son’ together are ‘the Knowledge of God’, and that the Word, the Son and Christ are united together in one being. If we accept, for a moment, that they are united through Incarnation…it would mean that the knowledge of the Day of Judgment would have been possessed by Christ alone[6] or at least, that the Son must know it as the Father does.[7] 

7.       Christians believe that God is ‘Immutable’ or an unchanging Being. The book of Malachi has: 

“I am the Lord, and I do not change.” (3:6, NLT). 

Jesus meanwhile did change or grow in both body and knowledge as the Scripture pointed out: “So Jesus grew both in height and in wisdom, and he was loved by God and by all who knew him.” (Luke 2.52, NLT) Can it possibly be that The Almighty God had to learn anything? 

The Jehovah Witnesses: 

“Similarly, we read at Hebrews 5:8 that Jesus “learned obedience from the things he suffered”. Can we imagine that God had to learn anything? No, but Jesus did, for he did not know everything that God knew. And he had to learn something that God never needs to learn—obedience. God never has to obey anyone.”[8] 

8.       In the account of the women at the well, Jesus further shows his inequality with God by telling the Samaritan woman that “he worship The Father” in Spirit and in Truth: 

“Jesus declared, believe me women, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on the mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you don’t know. We worship what we do know. For salvation is from the Jews.”  (John 4:21-22, NIV) 

“But the time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”   (John 4:23-24, NLT) 

Worshipping Allah, the Almighty alone is an act of virtue that falls under obedience to the first Commandment of Moses: 

"Do not worship any other gods beside me" (Deuteronomy 5:7,NLT) 

Citing the Old Testament Jesus says: 

“The Scripture say, You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him”(Luke 4:8, NLT)    

Notice the word “Him”, Jesus did not say “Us only” or “Him and I” 

Matthew’s describes this event in chapter 14:23: 

“Afterward he went up into the hills by himself to pray…”(NLT) Luke’s further clarifies the matter by stating:

“Once when Jesus had been out praying, one of his disciples came to him as he finished, and said, Lord, teach us how to pray, just as John taught his disciples. He said, this is how you should pray. “Father, may your name be honored…” (Luke 11:1-4, NLT)         

The Bible plainly testifies that Jesus often draws apart to pray in solitude, on a mountain and etc.[9] Also in response to the request made by his Jewish disciples on how to pray, Jesus entrusted them a prayer known as “The Lord’s Prayer” as stated in Luke’s above. He specifically tells his disciples to pray to the Father. So true Christians are directed to come to Allah, the Almighty and pray to him alone as Jesus and the disciples themselves had done. According to the Gospel of Mark, Jesus prayed as Muslims do by prostrating himself face down to the ground: 

“He went on a little farther and fell facedown on the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by” (14:33, NLT) 

To whom was Jesus praying? To a part of himself? Certainly not!. He was praying to someone entirely separate, his God, Allah The Almighty who is Superior and the only one who could answer  prayers. Christians may say that Jesus was only praying in a symbolic manner so as to teach the people how to conduct prayer. This argument is nevertheless unacceptable because the word 'hills' and 'by himself' in Matthew 14:23 indicates that at those specific times, Jesus was all on his own praying. He could not have been teaching anybody. Tom Harpur, the author of “For Christ Sake” says: 

“In fact, unless we are prepared to believe that his prayer -dependence on God was nothing more than a shame for our edification, a mere act to set us a good example, it is impossible to cling to the Orthodox teaching that Jesus was really God himself walking about in human form, the second person of the Trinity. The concept of God praying--let alone praying to himself –is incomprehensible to me. To say that it was simply the human side of Jesus talking to God the Father (rather than his own divine nature as son of God) is to post a kind of Schizophrenia (a serious mental illness) that is with incompatible with any belief in Jesus full humanity”.[10]  

10.     Even “Satan” knew Jesus was human:

Satan tried to tempt Christ by offering him “all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor” in return for his submission.

“Next the Devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him the nations of the world and all their glory. I will give it to you, he said, if you will only kneel down and worship me.” (Matthew 4:8, NLT) 

But Christ rebukes the devil by saying:  

“Get out of here Satan, Jesus told him, for the Scriptures say, You must worship the Lord your God, serve only him.” (Matthew 4:10, NLT) 

It seems here that even Satan regards Jesus not as God but the same being like any other Prophets. The offering of  ‘the nation of the world and their glory’ negates the Godhead of Jesus. For how can God be offered anything, as He is the Lord of all creation: 

“Yet you have forgotten the Lord, your Creator, the one who put the stars in the sky and established the earth.”  (Isaiah 51:13, NLT) 

11.     The Miracles performed by Jesus. 

“Jesus didn’t just claim to be God - he backed it up with amazing feats of healing, with astounding demonstrations of power over nature, with transcendent and unprecedented teaching, with divine insights into people, and ultimately with his own resurrection from the dead, which absolutely nobody else has been able to duplicate. So when Jesus claimed to be God, it wasn’t crazy. It was the truth.”[11] 

Muslims have no objection at all about accepting miracles performed by Jesus even the most astounding one like reviving people from the dead. But that doesn’t make him God as the Christian understand it. Jesus himself state on numerous occasions that whatever power he had and however great it seems to be, were in fact given and by the permission of God, and not of his own initiative: 

“Jesus came and told his disciples, I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth.”   (Matthew 28:18, NLT)

“But I do nothing without consulting the Father. I judge as I am told. …it is according to the will of God who sent me; it is not merely my own.”  (John 5:30) 

“Jesus replied, “I assure you, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing.” (John 5:19, NLT)
