in Corinthians 12:3 - Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

Is Jesus God? The Christians are worshipping Jesus, His Statues/Idols & the Cross. They doesnt follow the Old Testamen, which was reveled from the Only One God Allah, Who Created you, me & whole universe. Believing in Christianity & Church are degrading. Children& Nuns are in sex abuse at Churches. Churches are for sale in USA & Europe. Muslims are buying and making them to their worshipping place Masjids (Mosques). Synagogues also. New Testaments are written by 40 Humans in different times, with Contradictions, Vulgars, Changes & Inserted New Verses. (click 1st link in Source Box). How can a person belief them as Holy Book from God? 

Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him) is a creation, not the Creator God. God must be neither born nor gave birth. God must be the Creator, not the creation. If He is God, "When he was here in this world, did he create any? Who took care of the world/universe". If He is son of God, who is God's wife? 

The Only one God Allah (Who Created you, me and whole universe) Says in Holy Quran 

Chapter 3 Verse 45. ...when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word ["Be!" - and he was! i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary),... 

5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them..... 

72. They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire..... 

9:30 ... the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded? 

57:27 Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allah.... 

61:6 And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.".... 

Look Chapter 48 (Mary-Mariyam) Verse 29 (Because I am not allowed to write more. Y!A says it's too long) 

The Holy Quran was Revealed from God Allah [Who Created you, me and whole universe] to Prophet Mohammed by VOICE, through Angel Gabriel, before 1400 years. Later it was written, Since then there is no change in it's Arabic Origin. You cant find contradictions or a single vulgar word in Holy Quran. 

To check: Just say "Ya Allah" always continuously, even on bed except in toilet. Look after a month, how your life is improved. (This has been tested).

first try this translation (NLT)



1Cr 12:1 Now, dear brothers and sisters, [fn] regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don't want you to misunderstand this.





1Cr 12:2 You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.





1Cr 12:3 So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

Now then, other scriptures tell us that the human mind alone cannot comprehend God - nor does it even want to. Human minds think of human things. And remember that we are just animated dirt.



Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.



See also this:



1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.



Now see this...



Jhn 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.



All these say the same thing -- the only way we can know and relate to God is through our spirits.



If you can say that Christ is Lord then you do so entirely through your spirit in faith. Your human brain cannot process such info.

If you are a non believer, you would be unable to say "Jesus is Lord", as that is not your faith, If you are a believer, you are filled by the Holy Spirit and are able to say that with conviction.

{2 Corinthians 1:20-22} “For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."



{Philippians 2:11} “And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”



{Philippians 15:7} “Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.”



{Matthew 11:25-27} “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].”





Jesus said he came not seeking his own glory but the glory of his Father who sent him. He did not rely on trickery or his own scheme of powerful works to gain followers but on the power of God's Holy Spirit working in men's hearts to reveal those who are God's true sheep.



Paul followed that example in his ministry:



{1 Corinthians 2:1-5} "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."



Christ's foremost desire was to see that all credit was given to his Father as the source of all power and that any power he had was not his but that the Father had given it to him.



John 5:

{5:19} Then answered Jesus and

said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can

do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for

what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son

likewise. {5:20} For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth

him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him

greater works than these, that ye may marvel. {5:21} For as

the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them;] even

so the Son quickeneth whom he will. {5:22} For the Father

judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the

Son: {5:23} That all [men] should honour the Son, even as

they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son

honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. {5:24}

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and

believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and

shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death

unto life.
