DIVINITY OF CHRIST · SERVITUDE
Crying for Help
Who in the days of his flesh, when he (Jesus) had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death...
Pleading to be saved from death demonstrates a lower status. Jesus’ heartfelt prayers reveal a reliance on a higher power capable of deliverance, emphasizing his servitude rather than equality with God.
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They argue this verse shows Jesus’ human nature crying out, while his divine nature remained intact.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Genuine prayers and supplications with tears imply true neediness and dependence, traits incompatible with being Almighty God.
