The Christian people often show a verse from the Bible to say that Jesus Christ(peace be upon him) himself says directly that he is God Almighty and the verse is:
.
"I and my Father are one."
(The KJV Bible, John, 10:30)
.
They completely avoid the context about the issue that here the purpose of Prophet Jesus and Almighty God is actually one.
.
So, let us study some other verses from the same Bible.
.
.
=> How is it possible that Jesus and Father are one personality but Jesus does not know what the Father knows?:
.
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
.
(The KJV Bible, Matthew, 24:36)
.
Here Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is saying that, about the final day and hour meaning the day of judgement, no one knows; even Jesus Christ and the angels do not know the time, but only the proper knowledge is belonged to the Father.
.
Now, if we say that Father and son(Jesus) is one personality, then what is known to Father should be known to Son(Jesus) also. But Matthew, 24:36 says that Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) does not know the time of the final hour which is known to Father. How is it possible that Jesus and Father are one personality but Jesus does not know what the Father knows?
It is simple to understand that Jesus and Father are actually different existence.
.
.
=> "Begotten" is a fabricated word:
.
The Christian people says that Jesus is the begotten son of God and therefore Jesus is the incarnation of God in human form and so we can say that Jesus is Son and Almighty God is Father. Son is the expression of God in human form and Father is the expression of God in the Heaven.
.
They give reference from the Bible:
.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
.
(The KJV Bible, John, 3:16)
.
.
Now let us see some other references below.
.
"***God is not a man***, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
.
(The KJV Bible, Numbers, 23:19)
.
.
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; ***Jesus of Nazareth, a man*** approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:"
.
(The KJV Bible, Acts, 2:22)
.
So, the first above verse says, "God is not a man", and the second above verse says "Jesus is a man".
Therefore, the logical statement is "Jesus is not God" or "God is not Jesus".
.
So, if God and Jesus are not same as God is not man, while Jesus is man, then how can a logical mind conclude that Jesus is the incarnation or human form of God???
.
In other words, it also indicates that if Jesus is not the incarnation or human form of God, then, it is also illogical to say that Jesus is the begotten son of God.
.
That's why we can see that many Christian scholars do not accept the word "begotten" as a perfect interpretation.
.
A few days back, highly esteemed 32 Christian Biblical scholars backed by fifty co-operating Christian denominations declared that the word "begotten" is a fabrication.
.
They corrected the verse in the Bible of Revised Standard Version (RSV) like this way:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his **only Son**, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
.
(The RSV Bible, John, 3:16)
.
.
=> Then what does the expression "Father" and "Son" refer to?:
.
The answer is simple. "Father" refers to Almighty God and "Son" refers to "Servent of God."
.
Bible clearly says,
.
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
.
(The KJV Bible, Romans, 8:14)
.
So, those persons who are directed by God meaning who are the Prophets like Adam, Abraham, Noah etc. (peace be upon them all) are the sons of God in biblical expression. So, according to Bible, Jesus Christ is also "a son of God" meaning **a prophet who was led by God**.
.
Here Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is clearly saying, he is a servent of God:
.
***"I(Jesus) can of mine own self do nothing:*** as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because **I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father(Almighty God)** which hath sent me."
.
(The KJV Bible, John, 05:30)
.
.
If Jesus Christ was God, he would never say that 'I can not do anything from my own' and if he was God, he would do works according to his own wish, but the above verse of the Bible is showing that Jesus Christ(peace be upon him) is submitting his will to Almighty which proves that Jesus Christ was a human being and also a servant of Almighty God.
.
Jesus Christ was a prophet or messenger of God testified in the bible like this way:
.
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, ***a man approved of God among you*** by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know"
.
(The KJV Bible, Acts, 2:22)
.
.
=> The purpose of Prophet Jesus(peace be upon him) and Almighty God was the same:
.
Suppose, I say, "I am a teacher and I teach the students. My father is also a techer and he teaches his students as well. Amazingly, I and my father both are the teachers of math. So, you can say, 'I and my father are one'."
.
Here in this above portion, the simple issue is said and that is, 'I and my father's job is one and so our purpose is also one and that is to teach the students about mathematics.'
.
Similarly, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) also tried to say that his purpose and the purpose of Almighty God was the same.
.
Let's see a few verses back.
.
"And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
.
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you."
.
(The KJV Bible, John, 10:23-26)
.
.
So, here we can see that Jesus Christ met some Jews when he entered the Solomon's porch and he was trying to response the Jews people. At that time, Prophet Jesus talked about his purpose and the purpose of Almighty God.
.
"***My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:***
.
And **I give unto them eternal life;** and they shall never perish, **neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.**
.
**My Father, which gave them me**, is greater than all; and **no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."**
.
(The KJV Bible, John, 10:27-29)
.
.
So, look at the verses deeply. Here, the real purpose is to show the people of Israel the light of the path of truth so that the people can get the eternal life of paradise as the Bible says that Prophet Jesus was sent only for the people of Israel.
.
"But he(Jesus) answered and said,
***I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."***
.
(The KJV Bible, Matthew, 15:24)
.
Here John, 10:29 says that Almighty God has given the people to Jesus; John, 10:28 says that Jesus give them eternal life and John, 10:27 says that people of Israel followed him.
.
So, it is easy to understand that Almighty God sent Prophet Jesus to the people of Israel so that he could showed them the true path and take them away from the darkness of falsehood to the light of truth and by following Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), people of Israel could be able to get the eternal life of paradise.
.
So, the purpose of Prophet Jesus and Almighty God was one and that is to show the people of Israel the right way, the way which leads to paradise, the way which takes them away from darkness to light. And that's why in the verse, John, 10:30, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) says,
.
"I and my Father are one(meaning the purpose of Jesus and Almighty God was the same)."
(The KJV Bible, John, 10:30)
.
Here in the Quran, this issue is confirmed that Jesus Christ(peace be upon him) was given the message from Almighty Allah to show the people of Israel the true path. And it is Allah Who is the Ultimate Controller for showing the people the right way by taking them from darkness to light.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ بِالرُّسُلِ وَاٰتَيْنَا عِيْسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنٰتِ وَاَيَّدْنٰهُ بِرُوْحِ الْقُدُسِؕ اَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوٰٓى اَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْۚ فَفَرِيْقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيْقًا تَقْتُلُوْنَ
.
"We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers;
***We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit.***
Is it that whenever there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!"
.
(The Noble Quran, 2:87)

اَللّٰهُ وَلِىُّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِؕ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَوْلِيٰٓـــُٔهُمُ الطَّاغُوْتُۙ يُخْرِجُوْنَهُمْ مِّنَ النُّوْرِ اِلَى الظُّلُمٰتِؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ هُمْ فِيْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ
.
"Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters and helpers) are Taghut [false deities and false leaders, etc.], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever."
.
(The Noble Quran, 2:257)
