Jesus

He ate.
He slept.
He prayed.

He was, a man.

Indeed, not to mention he also:

Forgave men their sins
Called dead men out of their graves
And made himself out to be God

This is either a very crazy man, a very deceitful man, or a man that has more to him than meets the eye....:)

Hey Christian, good to hear from you :) Was reading Matthew's Gospel, Chapter 14, Verse 23, and couldn't help the thought! How do you balance Jesus' praying (to God) with his being God?

And, btw, though sure you know!, didn't mean to imply in my post that Jesus was *only* a man, i.e. a man like all men and not favoured in any way! Just meant to imply that he was a man.

Oh and you should check out Chapter 5, Verse 110 of "the Qur'an". You'll like it. (Except maybe in that it distinguishes between God and Jesus. But it demonstrates some of the ways that Muslims believe Jesus was favoured by God!!)

Don't mind me Adil. I understand what you were saying through the poem. I guess I was just putting in my two cents :).

I believe I've read that chapter mentioned before bro. 'Al Maida' Thanks for citing it tho. I'll email you my response to the first question, hopefully in the next few days.

Blessings.
