Logic: A=B, B=C, therefore A=C
Ask the Christian: "Could you ever become God?"
He should reply: "No, because I am a human being."
Ask the Christian: "Was Jesus a human being?"
He should reply: "Yes."
Inform the Christian: "Therefore, he could never be God."
"In Islam, the idea that humans can become God is unthinkable. Allah is utterly distinct from His creation—He is the Creator, eternal and infinite, while humans are created, finite, and dependent. The Qur'an declares, 'There is nothing like unto Him' (Surah Ash-Shura, 42:11), emphasizing the unbridgeable gap between Allah and humanity. Humans can't ascend to divinity because divinity isn't something that can be attained—it's Allah's unique essence, defined by Tawhid.
Contrast this with the Trinity, where Jesus (peace be upon him), a human, is said to be God. If a human can become divine, it blurs the line between Creator and creation, weakening God's absolute uniqueness. In Islam, humans are honored as Allah's servants and vicegerents, but never His equals. The Qur'an says, 'Say: He is Allah, the One and Only' (Surah Al-Ikhlas, 112:1)—there's no room for anyone, human or otherwise, to share in His divinity. This preserves Allah's transcendence and keeps our purpose clear: to worship Him, not to become Him."
We do not make the claim that humans become God. We make the claim that God became human. These are very different. Jesus is eternal, uncreated without beginning or end. He changed his form for a little while into that of a weak human emptying himself () to fulfill the righteous requirement of the law ()
God who was always God took on a human nature and dwelt with us just as scripture predicted (). This does not minimize God in any way but shows his love for us and his power that he would be willing to stoop down to our level to save us.
There is nothing logically wrong with God becoming a human. If your God isn't powerful enough to become a human then he isn't omnipotent. You need a bigger God.
