Is Jesus God? (Christian vs Muslim Debate)

Before I rebuttal his case points, I will simply lay out my case as to why Jesus is God based on the scriptures in which talk of Jesus (Isa). Besides several of his apostles recognizing him as God (Thomas in John 20:28, Peter in 2 Peter 1:1, John in John 1, etc. ), Isaiah makes a prophecy about the Messiah in which the Messiah is called many names. One of which in Isaiah 9:6 is gib"b!3;"wr "l (Mighty God) in the Hebrew. So the prophecy about Jesus here is in reference to also him being God manifest in the flesh. My opponent may object by saying the Old Testament does not contain an idea or thought of Jewish Trinitarianism. Really? I would suggest my opponent read up on Jewish Scholarship by Rabbinical Scholars like Daniel Boyarin and Alan F. Segal. Even modern scholar, Dr. Benjamin Sommer, a professor at Jewish Theological Seminary of America, notes this view I am about to tell you. There was a view in early Judaism that was orthodox known as the "Two Powers in Heaven" view. Daniel Boyarin in his book, Jewish Gospels, notes the following in page 5. He notes that the Jews "believed that God had a divine deputy or emissary or even son, exalted above all the angels, who functioned as an intermediary between God and the world in creation, revelation, and redemption. " Some aspects of this can be found in Genesis 18, Genesis 32, Exodus 3, etc. These verses point out of an "Angel (messenger) of YHWH" who is actually engaging with his creation in physical form. This is why many early Jews were able to convert to Christianity since they had this view in mind and heard of it. Even the Babylonian Talmud notes this by mentioning the Metatron in Sanhedrin 38b: "R. Nahman said: He who is as skilled in refuting the Minim as is R. Idith, let him do so; but not otherwise. Once a Min said to R. Idith: It is written, And unto Moses He said, Come up to the Lord. But surely it should have stated, Come up unto me! " It was Metatron [who said that], he replied, whose name is similar to that of his Master, for it is written, For my name is in him. But if so, [he retorted,] we should worship him! The same passage, however, " replied R. Idith says: Be not rebellious against him, i. e. , exchange Me not for him. But if so, why is it stated: He will not pardon your transgression? He answered: By our troth we would not accept him even as a messenger,61 for it is written, And he said unto him, If Thy [personal] presence go not etc. " So based on Jewish theology, it would not be unorthodox for Christians, especially Jewish Christians, to make this connection like the early Jews did. The Bible makes plenty of claims in which Jesus only admits to doing things that God is said to do such as forgive sins (Mark 2:5-10), is Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:27-28), Jesus made himself God (John 10:30-33), Jesus called himself the YHWH title in Greek (John 8:58-59), etc. I can go on, but I will save that for the rebuttals. Now to rebuttals: "Jesus is part of a "Holy Trinity" including God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, those three things being separate parts of the same whole. This would make Jesus not God, but a third of him. " RESPONSE: My opponent has misrepresented the Trinity by saying that Jesus is not God according to it, but is a third of him. That is a faulty understanding of the Trinity and I would never do that to any Islamic doctrine in regards to what the Quran, Hadith and Islamic Scholars say. The Trinity is that all three persons are fully God and make up the one being known as God. If my opponent is going to argue against the Trinity, at least represent it accurately. "In addition, John 1:1-3 states "In the beginning, there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. " Logically, this is impossible, as nothing can both be with someone and a part of them simultaneously. " RESPONSE: According to what standard do you base this off of? Because if your a Muslim, which I am assuming based on my title open invitation to the audience, then many people will say that Muhammad splitting the moon and Muhammad's night flight is also logically impossible. "Christianity has several contradictory statements in its Holy Book that, taken in whole, seem to indicate Jesus has some prevalent connection to God, but is not the Great I Am themself. " RESPONSE: I will simply point that if Jesus is not the I AM, then why does Jesus claim to be so in John 8:58-59 and was going to be stoned by the Jews for that. I am honestly hoping for my laid out detailed responses so that I may actually go into more detail during the rest of this debate. I hope that the next couple of rounds bring plenty of wisdom and knowledge for those reading to decide rather or not one or the other is right or wrong. Thank you.
