Refutation of the Divinity of Christ — Page 33
Christian Arguments for the Divinity of Christ & Trinity 33 Rebuttal—The Third Response— The third reply is that Christ was seen in the world by way of his physical body and not from the point of view of the spirit and God is not seen in the world or in the Hereafter from the bodily point of view. Thus, it would not be correct to take Christ saying that whoever has seen me has seen the Father in the literal sense. Rebuttal—The Fourth Response— In John 17:21 it is written that the person who comes to believe may also be one in Christ and the Lord. Thus, according to this, every Christian should be an embodiment of God like Christ. Rebuttal—The Fifth Response— In 2 Corinthians 6:16 we have: ‘Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them. ’ Now, respected Christian Priests! Ponder over this. All those addressed by Paul are the temple of God and God is in them, so they should all be the embodiment of God. Respected Christian Priests! The fact of the matter is that when someone is attributed to someone more eminent than him- self, then his respect and honour is meant to be conveyed thereby and this is what the meaning is of these expressions of the Gospels. For example, one may have a servant or representative, or pupil or disciple or relative or friend. Now, the respect, honour or disre- spect or love for this servant, one’s agent, pupil, disciple, relative or friend, would be attributed to his master, teacher, well-placed relative or friend. And this is precisely what the meaning is of the expression of the Gospel.
