During a conversation with a Christian missionary, a Muslim scholar asked him if he believed Jesus was God.
The missionary said "Yes. Jesus is God."
Muslim scholar said: "Jesus never said he was God."
The missionary taken back said, "What! He did."
Muslim scholar asked: "Can you show me?"
The missionary started opening his bible and then with a victorious smile, he opens John 10:30. He says here you go. In John 10:30, Jesus says "I and my Father are one."
Muslim scholar asked him: "What does that mean?"
The missionary said: "It means Jesus is saying that he is God."
Muslim scholar asked: "Why do you say that?"
The missionary said: "Jesus is saying that he and God are one. Isn't it obvious?"
Muslim scholar asked: " So if Jesus says both are one then it means Jesus is God, am I right?
The missionary said: "Absolutely. There is no doubt about it!"
Muslim scholar asked: "So if someone is called one with God, then it means he is God, am I right?
The missionary victoriously said: "Yes. Look, I showed you what you wanted and this is my proof and that's all I need."
So the Muslim scholar agreed with him for the sake of argument and asked him to open, John 17:21-22. In John 17:21, Jesus says
"That they (disciplines) all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they (12 disciplines) also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And further in John 17:22, Jesus says
"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them (12 disciplines); that they may be one, even as we are one: And further in John 17:23, Jesus says : "I in them (12 disciplines), and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me."
After reading this, the missionary slowly realized what he had got himself into.
Muslim scholar said: "Now, Jesus says that God, Jesus and the 12 disciplines are one."
The missionary was clearly cornered and said, "No, no."
Muslim scholar asked: "Why not?"
He was silent with his head down.
Muslim scholar asked:
"Does that mean God and Jesus and the 12 disciplines are one?"
"Does that mean the 12 disciplines are also God?"
"Does that mean Judas the traitor was also God?"
"Do you believe in 14 Gods?"
The missionary had no reply.
