The only person called “Lord” in the Bible is God himself no one else, even the Quran doesn’t call anyone “Lord” except Allah whom you take as the “Lord” of Jesus.Rabbi, translated from Hebrew, literally means ‘my master’. Jesus is a rabbi and thus, he’s often referred to either as ‘rabbi’ or ‘lord’ in the scripture. Jesus was never referred to ‘lord’ to mean he is God in the scripture, that reference is only by the Christians today.And you are wrong if you think only Almighty God is called ‘Lord’ or ‘my Lord’ in the Bible. Here’s some of them – Sarah called her husband, Abraham, ‘my lord’ – So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”’ – Genesis 18:12Obadiah called prophet Elijah, ‘my lord’ – ‘As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized him, bowed down to the ground, and said, “Is it really you, my lord Elijah?” – 1 Kings 18:7Aaron called Moses. ‘my lord’ – “Do not be angry, my lord,” Aaron answered.” – Exodus 32:22 The son of Ahitub called King Saul, ‘my lord’ – ‘Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” “Yes, my lord,” he answered.’ – 1 Samuel 22:12Hannah called the priest, Eli, ‘my lord’ – ‘“Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied” – 1 Samuel 1:15 Al Masihi wrote:I absolutely have no idea where you get your interpretations from,I don’t blame you as I don’t think you have any idea about your own Bible too, other than just listening to what your church and scholars tell you. Al Masihi wrote:first of all your definition of lamb of God as an obedient servant would mean that all the prophets should have been called lamb of God, but strangely only Jesus is.Maybe the question you should ask is – who else, other than John the Baptist, referred to Jesus as ‘lamb of God’ ?? Al Masihi wrote:If you’ve ever opened a Bible you’d know that Jesus forgave people’s sins pretty much for most of his time being a preacher.Why don’t you quote the verse(s) that said Jesus forgave other people’s sin and I will gladly explain to you what it really means. Al Masihi wrote:Also what does Ishmael have to do with Muslims not all Muslims are Arabs, unless your willing to say Islam is an Arab religion, your comparison of trying to make it seem Isaac with Judaism and Ishmael with Islam is a false analogy. Jews are both a people and religion, Muslims aren’t, they come from many different backgrounds from Arabs, to Europeans, to Chinese.It’s not so much of whether Islam is an Arab religion, just as it’s not so much whether Christianity is an offshoot of the Jewish religion or Jesus is a Jew or Muhammad is an Arab – it’s about who Muhammad is. Muhammad came from the lineage of Ishmael, who is the firstborn son of Abraham and Hagar, an Arab/Egyptian descendant. See the connection between Muhammad and Abraham ?? Likewise, Jesus’ lineage can be traced from his earth father, Joseph’s lineage which can be traced right up to David to Isaac and to Abraham. So, can you see the connection between Jesus and Abraham ?? In other words, it’s not about religions, it’s about having the true relationship with the Almighty God and understanding His prophets. Al Masihi wrote:Also not all Arabs are from Ishmael even the ones that are from Ishmael doesn’t make them legitimate of the line of Abraham. Ishmael was a ****** born of Abraham’s concubine Hagar, he is not legitimate.So now you are ‘more knowing’ than God Himself ?? Can you show me from your scripture where God said Ishmael was an illegitimate son of Abraham ?? In fact, God never made any distinction between Isaac and Ishmael – they are both honorable in His Eyes. I am beginning to doubt whether you have read and understand your own Bible. Al Masihi wrote:And Incase you try to point to that verse in Genesis 16 where it says Sarah was given to Abraham to be his wife, the word used in Hebrew that is translated in English as “wife” is simply “woman”, also the marriage of Abraham to Hagar isn’t mentioned either.Well, the word in Hebrew means ‘woman, wife, female’. So, if you read Genesis 16:3, the Hebrew definition for ‘wife’ in both of the statements ‘Abram’s wife, Sarai’ and ‘gave her to her husband, Abram, as his wife’ is ‘woman, wife, female’ – http://biblehub.com/lexicon/genesis/16-3.htm In fact, most, if not all, of today’s English-translated Bibles you have, interpreted that as ‘wife’, NOT ‘woman’. Only those who think they know better than God will interpret that Hebrew word as ‘woman’.
