If Jesus is God, how can he be a MEDIATOR between GOD and man?

That is the point of the scripture. Jesus' position is unique, and will always be. He is the first born or all creation, and through him humans can get life because of the ransom of his life. He actually died for our sins, and his Father resurrected him, therefore he cannot be Almighty God.

Colossians 1:15

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

Matthew 20:28

28 Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many.”

1 Corinthians 15:3, 4

3 For among the first things I handed on to you was what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; 4 and that he was buried, yes, that he was raised up on the third day according to the Scriptures;

Acts 2:32

32 God resurrected this Jesus, and of this we are all witnesses.

The Divine Person Jesus (the Son) has two natures He is (of God) the only begotton Son born (not made) of the Father's own Being and He is (of Man) incarnated of the flesh and blood of His Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary. In fact St. Gabriel the Archangel stated He would be called Immanuel or in Hebrew Emmanuel which means "God is with us" being God incarnated in the flesh. Therefore the Divine Person Jesus is 100% perfect God and 100% perfect Man being without sin like Adam before his fall from Grace.

That is how the Divine Person Jesus is the mediator between God and man.

----

Actually the Word (Jesus) was with God and the Word (Jesus) was God since the beginning (John 1:1-5, 14) the first born of creation in which all things were created through and for Him (Colossians 1:15-16). When He was incarnated in the flesh He was made a slave to the limitations being human, He was made lower than the angels which were created through and for Him (Philippians 2:6-11, Hebrews 2:7-10) also note Hebrews 2:9 that it clearly states this was only "for a little while". When Jesus entered into His Glory (death and resurrection) all things became subject under Him for He is the visible God in the flesh. The other thing no one has ever seen the Father except for Jesus (the Son) no man, no angel, no one (John 1:18), it is Jesus Whom sits upon the throne of God in which the angels worship Him for He is the visible God in the flesh Whom sits at the right hand of the Father (Acts 2:33) and He will return to judge the living and the dead (Revelation 20:11-15, Matthew 25:31-46).

Isaiah 45:10

Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

Jesus is God. Jesus is man. Jesus is the mediator between God and man.

To understand this, you need to understand the difference between God and man, and the difference between Jesus and God, and you have to be willing to accept it on faith. The difference between God and man is, He is a Spiritual entity, he is not flesh and blood carbon based like we are. In that realm, he is all knowing and all powerful, but above all HOLY, meaning without fault or "sin" and being that way it is (for lack of a better term) imposable for Him to be in the presence of sin or sinful beings like us. Likewise it is imposable for us to be in His presence or hear His voice, as such would simply distroy us, due to His power and holiness. Remember He chose to speak to Noah, a very decent and sinless man, and yet just speaking with Noah, turned Noah's hair and bear pure white, basically transformed him...think what that would do to us. SO God knowing He cannot speak directly to us, or be in our presence, for His sake and ours, came up with Jesus. Jesus is a part of the spirit of God, but also a son, and being born of a woman he is also human, and a son of man. He came into the world in human form, yet still being the spirit of God, to first give us his message of hope and salvation beyond the grave, and secondly to defeat death and evil by literally offering His HUMAN self as a sacrifice...and a perfect one, because He had never commited any sin.

I hope that helps you, I'm no big whoopty do writer and I'm not exactly highly edumacated.

In virtue of the fact that He is BOTH fully God and fully man, He is therefore the mediator between God and man, because He acts as a bridge connecting the two together, making our Theosis possible. The sense of chasm between humanity and God which is apparent in Islam and Judaism is destroyed because of Christ and we can actually be "partakers of the Divine nature."

Because in that sense, it's referring to Jesus mediating between us and the Father.

Plz....How many times will such questions be asked and answered...

Jesus HIMSELF said this FACT :6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know HIM, and have seen HIM.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known ME, Philip? he that hath seen ME hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I AM IN the Father, and the Father IN me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth IN me, HE doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I AM IN the Father, and the Father IN me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

and I can give you Tons of other scripture where Jesus testifies HE IS GOD the FATHER......

and yet like I already have...more will continue to ask the exact same thing week in and week out !!!

Simply put , you would be correct because you state facts , not assumptions...

I would like to start out by saying that Muslims believe that all prophets of God preached the same simple truth of the One Sovereign God.

Who Is Allah? Who Is God?

Allah is God. The name Allah is the Arabic word for God. More precisely, it is the One Eternal Creator, Lord of the whole universe. It is the same Arabic name for God that is used in the Arabic Bible.

It is pronounced almost the same in other Semitic languages: "Eloha" in Hebrew, and "Allaha" in Aramaic. According to Jesus (peace be upon him), God is One, with no partner whatsoever. I quote the following verses from the Bible:

Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and him only.'" (Matthew 4:10)

"Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him." (Mark 12:32)

"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.'" (Mark 12:29)

Who Is Jesus?

Jesus is one of a long string of prophets of Allah sent to all nations throughout history, starting from Adam, who received the first guidance from Allah, to the final one, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them all).

According to the Bible, Jesus was sent particularly to the Israelites, to set them back on the proper track of Moses. The Gospels record these words of Jesus:

"I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 15:24)

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you: 'Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.'" (Matthew 5:17-18)

The Qur'an, which Muslims consider the direct revelation says what means:

*{The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden Paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there will be no helpers.}* (Al-Ma'idah 5:72)

Jesus was a full human Prophet of God, as he emphatically declared:

"As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God." (John 8:40)

"What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people." (Luke 24:19)

Again, the Qur'an also affirms Jesus's prophethood:

*{And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah}* (As-Saff 61:6)

In all aspects, the Gospels portray him as a human who was born and circumcised (Luke 2:5-7, 21, 40, 52, 11:27); who suffered hunger and thirst (Matthew 4:2, 11:19, 21:18); who got tired and slept like any human being (Matthew 8:20, 24-25, Luke 8:23, Mark 4:38, John 4:6); who was subject to human feelings of fear, astonishment, and sadness (Matthew 26:37, Mark 14:33-34, John 11:33, 35, 38); and who prayed to his Creator like any human believer does (Mark 1:35, 14:35, Luke 5:16, 6:12).

Logically speaking, having no father does not mean he was the son of God. Adam had neither father nor mother, yet both Adam and Jesus are bondsmen of Allah created by His will and power, by His word "Be" — Adam from earthly dust, and Jesus in the womb of Virgin Mary.

This is precisely and unequivocally defined in the Qur'an as follows:

*{The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.}* (Aal `Imran 3:59)

So neither Jesus nor Adam is a son of God. References to Jesus in the Bible as son of God should not be taken in the literal sense, rather in the metaphoric sense of affection and nearness to God.

Jesus himself affirms that we are all "sons" of God in this sense:

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:9)

"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

Similar references to human beings as "sons of God" are also used in the Old Testament:

"You are the children of the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 14:1)

Finally, in his own words, Jesus declared himself as the Son of Man:

Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." (Matthew 8:20)

"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up." (John 3:14)

Can We See God?

Our human capabilities are limited by the nature of our senses: vision in a certain wavelength range (4 to 7 X10-7 meters), hearing in a certain frequency range (2.500 to 4,000 cycles per second). Even the power of our instruments, however advanced, is limited in two ways:

scale: by the huge universal dimensions in light years

nature: to our detectable electromagnetic wave systems. So we cannot see or detect anything different from or beyond (in nature, time, or space) these systems: neither the angels nor any non-earthly being, nor God the Creator and Dominator of all His creation.

This is affirmed both in the Qur'an and in the Bible:

*{No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.}* (Al-An`am 6:103)

"Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape." (John 5:37)

Are God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit the Same?

First: who is the Holy Spirit? A careful reading of the Gospels clarifies that the Holy Spirit is the Angel Gabriel.

Compare the two narrations of Matthew and Luke:

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:18)

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. (Luke 1:26-27).

This accords with the Qur'an:

*{Then We sent her our angel [literally, spirit], and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. … He [the angel] said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son."}* (Maryam 19:17,19)

So God the Lord, Jesus the human prophet, and the Holy Spirit Gabriel are each separate. The doctrine of the Trinity was never preached by Jesus, nor by his followers for three centuries. The word "trinity" is nowhere in the Bible. The whole concept was derived from the words of John, who never met Jesus.

The myth of trinity gradually crept into Christianity, influenced by pagan beliefs and Greek mythology, and was adopted by Council of Nicaea in 325 CE.

"How Can I Start Praying?"

The answer to this, James, really depends on you and the choices you make in your life. If you fully accept Islam, that is, belief in the One God, and the message revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the miraculous word of God, the Qur'an, this would be your first honorable step to the truth of Islam.

The following steps are straightforward, and can be taken without any intermediary or clergy. It is something between you and your Creator, yet in the way He ordained. You can find the necessary details in the links provided below; and you could better still refer to a trustworthy Islamic Center for guidance and support.

Best wishes for you on this most blessed trip to the pure Divine Truth.

Thank you once again for your question, and please keep in touch.
