Divinity of Christ Because He Called Him the Lord With the Definite Article Alif

While browsing TikTok, I found 🐏 saying, “I will prove to you the divinity of Christ.” He said, “The Holy Bible refers to Christ as the Lord, definite with the definite article.” And as Ibn Kathir mentioned, the definite article “Lord” is only used for the Lord, and

he cited this text from his book

, “And if anyone says anything to you, say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” (Matthew 21:3)

He cited these words of Ibn Kathir, may

God have mercy on him. Ibn Kathir said, “The Lord is the owner who disposes, and in the language it is used to mean the master and the one who disposes for the sake of reform, and all of that is correct with regard to God Almighty.”

The word “Lord” is not used for anyone other than God, but rather in addition. You say: “Lord of the house”, “Lord of so-and-so”. As for “Lord”, it is only used for God Almighty.

The response to this infidel

is that the text he cited demolishes this idea from the ground up. If the word “Lord” is used for Christ, it indicates his divinity. Does God need a donkey???

Yes, the word “Lord” in Islam is only used for God, but according to the Gospels and the Greek language in which it was written, it can be used for someone other than God, meaning “Lord”.

The same Greek word was used for the Roman Emperor, and Van Dyck translated it as “Lord” and not “Lord”

. “I have nothing certain about him to write to the Lord.” Therefore I have brought him before you, and especially before you, O King Agrippa, so that, after the examination has been made, I may have something to write.” (Acts 25:26)

If we return to the Greek text

We find that he mentioned the same word τῷ κυρίῳ that he used to describe Christ and they translated it for Christ the Lord, but for the Roman Emperor the Lord! The

funny thing is that the same word was used for Christ in another place, but they translated it to the Lord because if they had translated it to the Lord, it would have been a huge scandal because the text mentions that they They have taken the Lord out of the tomb!

So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” (John 20:2)

The decisive factor in this matter is that the Gospel stated that God raised Christ the Lord. If the Lord meant God, would God die and the Lord raise Him up?

God raised the Lord, and will also raise us up by His power. (1 Corinthians 6:14)

And does God have a God,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, might give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him? (Ephesians 1:17)
