WHY ARE THERE TWO
SEPARATE SEATS
IN THE HEAVEN,
IF THERE IS
ONLY ONE GOD?
A note from a Christian Critic and my response added on March 5th.
Another note from a Christian and my response added on April 11th.



        Jesus Christ, who was in the form (image) of God,  acted as a bond Servant of God, while upon this Earth...
happens to be the prevalent principle Christian Belief, based upon the dubious teachings of Paul. In his Letter to the Philippian believers, who enjoyed a very special relationship with him, Paul wrote thus:
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself 
and became obedient to the point of death -- even death on a cross.   Philippians 2: 5 to 8
      In other words, being born in human form, Lord (God) Jesus Christ emptied himself and acted as a bond servant of God, upon this Earth.

      Today, Jesus Christ is no more upon this Earth in his human form. The purpose, as well as the period of his acting in the human form was accomplished, finished and over the DAY when he left this Earth.

      Let us examine the Bible and see what happened in Heaven, when Jesus was no more in human form and was not acting as a Slave... 

     God said to Jesus "Sit at my right hand" (Hebrew 1: 13).
And, Jesus obediently sat down on a SEAT that was on God's Right Hand. Since that day he has been obediently sitting on that SEAT...
Ask any knowledgeable Christian; Where is Jesus Christ today? The answer that you will likely get is; He is sitting on the right hand of God.

     I have FIVE QUESTIONS for a believing Christian:

Why "GOD THE FATHER" and "GOD THE SON" are NOT sitting on "ONE SEAT", since the play acting is redundant in the Heaven?

If in reality THEY BOTH are "ONE" ("I and my Father are One" 
John 10: 30),Why Only ONE GOD and TWO SEPARATE SEATS ??

Why did ONE Command the OTHER, to "Sit" on His right hand ???

Are they not BOTH  "CO-EQUAL" in GLORY and MAJESTY ????

IS IT NOT THE FACT THAT THE SO CALLED "ACTING" WAS NOT A "PLAY-ACTING" BUT A TRUTHFUL REALITY ?????

The Glorious Qur'an teaches;
Messiah Jesus was a Righteous Messenger of God... (3:46; 6:85)
And, Christ Jesus spoke the Truth:

And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do.
  Gospel of John 17: 3 - 4 

They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no god save Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!    Glorious Qur'an 9: 31



A CHRISTIAN CRITIC WRITES:

Hello Mr.Meherally, I recently read your article on the "two seats in heaven". The term "sitting at a seat next to God" is not to be taken literally. It only meant that Jesus is very close to God not that he is sitting in a recliner next to the almighty. The Qur'an also acknowledges that Jesus is most close to God- Why do you continue to deny the obvious? "GENERAL PEAY" <xnupe@hotmail.com>

MY RESPONSE: 

I do not deny that Jesus is closer to God. He is closer to God alike other Messengers of God and those chosen by Him. You write in your letter that "Jesus is very close to God" and that by itself is an admission of the fact that Jesus and God are NOT ONE. You have but to admit that the majority of the Christians, continue to deny the obvious, viz. Jesus was a Messenger of God, sent to Glorify the Sender.
Your mail should be addressed to those who are denying the obvious...

ANOTHER NOTE FROM A YOUNG CHRISTIAN:

He wrote: "...you believe jesus is a messenger, you believe he came from god to deliver the good news...so everything he said must be true ...am i right or wrong...just answer that question nothing else.."

My reply to him was: Yes

He wrote: "...then why did JESUS say...in john 10:30  " I and my Father  are one" surely that would be blaspheming...JESUS WHO IS ONLY A PROPHET IN YOUR BELIEF SAYING HE IS GOD...well you must believe this.. He is god, because:
-> you say He was a messenger..from god...
-> you say he spoke the truth...
then how can he say " I and my FATHER are one"

My reply to him was: The Gospel of John was written in Greek and not in English. Apostle John used the Greek word "hen" which means
the "Unity" (Unity in purpose). The Greek word for "Numerical One" is "heis" which John has not used...
