DIVINITY OF CHRIST · DISTINCTION FROM GOD
My God and Your God
...I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Identifying God as ‘my God’ aligns Jesus with other believers as servants of the Almighty. This distinction dismantles any suggestion that Jesus shares the same divine essence.
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They claim this expression is from the perspective of Jesus’ human nature, not denying his divinity.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Referring to God as ‘my God’ places Jesus as a worshipper, not an equal, confirming that he is distinct and subordinate to God.
