nowhere does the Bible say ‘that Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) claimed Divinity ’ - And you gave a quotation of the Bible, that Jesus said ‘I am the life, the way’. Brother we Muslims also accept that at the time of Jesus (SAW) he was the life and he was the way like wise

we Muslim believe Prophet Adam was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Idris (Enoch) was was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Nuh (Noah) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Hud was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Salih was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Ishmael was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Jacob was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Lut was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Shuaib was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Joseph (Yusuf) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Job (Ayoub) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Jonah (Yunus) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Musa (Moses) & Aaron (Harun) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Ezekiel (Hizqeel) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Elisha (Elyas) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Samuel was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Dawud (David) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Solomon (Sulaiman) was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Zakariyah & Yahya was the life and the way
we Muslim believe Prophet Muhammad is the life and the way

peace be upon them all ……..

IF A MUSLIM DON'T ACCEPT ALL THOSE MEN " LIFE AND THE WAY " HE IS NOT A MUSLIM.

it doesn’t mean that being a life and the way Jesus (SAW) is claiming divinity

if you still argue that Jesus (SAW) claim divinity Brother What is the context for that quotation? Please give me the context for your quotation.

Enough is enough!

Enough is enough, Minister . we are all paying the price with blood, flesh, and lives, due to chauvinism and racism. For far too long, a small coterie of ruling elite who hijacked power since independence, has been exploiting religion and racism, in order to remain in or come to power. No Tamil or Muslim will ever leave this island. This is not what the silent majority of compassionate and peace loving Sinhalese want. Therefore, instead of provoking innocent people, please help unite communities and ensure peace and harmony to turn this country once again into a paradise. I am sure God will reward you and your colleagues. It is also time that the righteous and peace loving Sinhalese come forward to avert the rising trend of racism, and save the country.

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST GRACIOUS AND MOST MERCIFUL​

i. Messengers were sent to every nation to guide them to Path of Allah:

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُواْاللّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُواْ الطَّاغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْحَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلالَةُ فَسِيرُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ فَانظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَعَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ

And verily We have raised in every nation a messenger, (proclaiming): Serve Allah and shun false gods. Then some of them (there were) whom Allah guided, and some of them (there were) upon whom error had just hold. Do but travel in the land and see the nature of the consequence for the deniers! (Qur'an 16:36)

ii. Messengers warn them to follow Allah’s commands and gave them glad tidings:

إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَبِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَّا خلَا فِيهَانَذِيرٌ

Lo! We have sent thee with the Truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner; and there is not a nation but a warner hath passed among them. (Qur'an 35:24)

Messengers of good cheer and of warning, in order that mankind might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah is ever Mighty, Wise. (Qur'an 4:165)


SOME ISLAMIC SCHOLARS ARGUE THAT IN THE AL QURAN THE WORD DHUL KIFL IS REFERING TO BUDDAH. IN ARABIC KIFL MEANS KAPILAVASTU IT IS THE PLACE BUDDHA BORN. BUDDAH IS NOT A ORDINARY HUMAN BEING AS FAR AS I CONCERN. HE MAY BE A NABI / RASOOL / ANBIYA OR AWLIYA OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY.

BUDHDHIST SCRIPTURES, HINDU HOLY SCRIPTURES AND HOLY BIBLE PROPHESIZED THE ADVENT AND THE ARRIVAL OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH

[VIDUrUVAN123]

this is what i heard....neither buddha or jesus didn't say they are gods and to worship them.

I am sorry if i am wrong...this is what i heard

Budhha was a god at many time as he was a human but He never said that we should worship him. any one can be a buddha

Jesus said that he is a son of god and he also never said we should worship him

both of then said if we follow there path we can success specially buddha

 

[Y2K]

Machn here is kinda reply dunno whether appropiate bt it shows deffinietly he is nt a god.bt he is amn who improved his mind / brain power..


If u have watch da movie matrix it is a little bit easy 2 Understand just a Very Very little part from what he tried to say as da below mentioned thing is jst a small fraction u cn archieve from attending nirvana..(Itz not abt god..)

In the movie Da matrix sends u electric data(pulse) to ur brain,buy creating a virtual world in peoples mind which does nt exist...in order to keep them living(bt truly still) in oder 2 generate power from da metabolic heat..!!
Ok..Now if we leave da farming part out actually wat we are doing is kind of same. we are creating a world of our own from jst 5 senses we get!!& THEY are

1)Light(jst small portin of energy spectrum there is uv,IR,cosmic & many more Raditon/rays which does nt detect to our senses)

2)Sound(again we can frm only 20-20000hz..while we cnt hear ultra sound or an other sound which dnt fall in to this group)

3)taste(we can only taste a small potion_

4)Smell (same thing.. only a certain range)

5)Sences which get from skin(pressure:-touch,pain,Heat:-cold,hot)

Basically what I'm saying is we r jst creating a world which of own from what we can gather from our small ranged detectors & thinking itz da big world(trying 2 solve things/mystereis from jst da little ranged we can see) while they are so many things we cant see or experience..

So meditating He improved his senses & mind(used 100% from his brain capacity.as Even Albert Einstein used only 10%) far beyond da above mention So he was able see things which still scientist are trying 2 figure out & finding!!!


Jst An example if u want:
Astronomy:-first of all I'm wnt 2 say this is not act to disgrace other religions,So i will tell what Lord Buddha said abt astronomy more than 2500 years ago without a telescopes..& if u wnt u cn compare & see wth others..So thn ul understand that if u have only improved ur senses & Improved ur mind to see da world..u will be able 2 see those things along time back)

He told about earth going around sun & sun is da center of da solar system(Those days other ppl said(earth is da centre of da universe)
He told abt galaxies,Super Galaxies,Clusters,hw da universe is created Expanding & again it is falling back 2 a pin point..Which now scientist are proving.

Also abt atoms & quokes which atoms r made of..

So much more..



(for da ''Suthra'' where he mentioned alittle bit of these things are in year 11 Buddhism text book)

Wake up! - Gnosticism & Buddhism and the Matrix
by Francis Flannery-Dailey & Rachel Wagner
At the beginning of The Matrix, a black-clad computer hacker known as Neo falls asleep in front of his computer. A mysterious message appears on the screen: "Wake up, Neo."1 This succinct phrase encapsulates the plot of the film, as Neo struggles with the problem of being imprisoned in a "material" world that is actually a computer simulation program created in the distant future by Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a means of enslaving humanity, by perpetuating ignorance in the form of an illusory perception called "the Matrix." In part, the film crafts its ultimate view of reality by alluding to numerous religious traditions that advance the idea that the fundamental problem which humanity faces is ignorance and the solution is knowledge or awakening. Two religious traditions on which the film draws heavily are Gnostic Christianity and Buddhism.2 Although these traditions differ in important ways, they agree in maintaining that the problem of ignorance can be solved through an individual's reorientation of perspective concerning the material realm.3 Gnostic Christianity and Buddhism also both envision a guide who helps those still trapped in the limiting world of illusion, a Gnostic redeemer figure or a bodhisattva, who willingly enters that world in order to share liberating knowledge, facilitating escape for anyone able to understand. In the film, this figure is Neo, whose name is also an anagram for the "One."

Although as a "modern myth"4 the film purposefully draws on numerous traditions,5 we propose that an examination of Gnostic Christianity and Buddhism well illuminates the overarching paradigm of The Matrix, namely, the problem of sleeping in ignorance in a dreamworld, solved by waking to knowledge or enlightenment. By drawing syncretistically on these two ancient traditions and fusing them with a technological vision of the future, the film constructs a new teaching that challenges its audience to question "reality."

I. Christian Elements in The Matrix
The majority of the film's audience probably easily recognizes the presence of some Christian elements, such as the name Trinity6 or Neo's death and Christ-like resurrection and ascension near the end of the film. In fact, Christian and biblical allusions abound, particularly with respect to nomenclature:7 Apoc (Apocalypse), Neo's given name of Mr. Ander/son (from the Greek andras for man, thus producing "Son of Man"), the ship named the Nebuchadnezzar (the Babylonian king who, in the Book of Daniel, has puzzling symbolic dreams that must be interpreted),8 and the last remaining human city, Zion, synonymous in Judaism and Christianity with (the heavenly) Jerusalem.9 Neo is overtly constructed as a Jesus figure: he is "the One" who was prophesied to return again to the Matrix, who has the power the change the Matrix from within (i.e., to work miracles), who battles the representatives of evil and who is killed but comes to life again.

This construction of Neo as Jesus is reinforced in numerous ways. Within minutes of the commencement of the movie, another hacker says to Neo, "You're my savior, man, my own personal Jesus Christ."10 This identification is also suggested by the Nebuchadnezzar's crew, who nervously wonder if he is "the One" who was foretold, and who repeatedly swear in Neo's presence by saying "Jesus" or "Jesus Christ."11 In still another example, Neo enters the Nebuchadnezzar for the first time and the camera pans across the interior of the ship, resting on the make: "Mark III no. 11." This seems to be another messianic reference, since the Gospel of Mark 3:11 reads: "Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted, ' You are the Son of God!'"
