In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God (9) who fortify who?

The Bible declares that an Angel came from Heaven unto the Lord Jesus to strengthen Him and to make him strong!

In the Quran, the Angels are Allah’s creatures.  They are obedient creatures and are worshiping Allah all the time; they cannot do anything unless they have the permission of Allah.

—————————————

The verse Luke 22:43 declares that an Angel came from Heaven unto the Lord Jesus to strengthen Him, to Help Him or to make him strong!

It is well known that an Angel is but a creature.

Would a creature strengthen or help his Creator or make his God strong!

According to the 21st Century King James Version, the verse Luke 22:43 says:

“And there appeared an angel unto Him from Heaven, strengthening Him”.

In addition, 29 other Bible’s versions say:

“And there appeared an angel unto Him from Heaven, strengthening Him or giving him strength or gave him strength or strengthened him”. (With little differences between them)

However, five Bible’s versions say that the Angel which appeared from heaven:

1) Came to help him (in Contemporary English Version and Easy-to-Read Version)

2) Helped to make him strong (in Worldwide English, New Testament)

3) Strengthening Him in spirit (in Amplified Bible)

4) Comforted him (in Wycliffe Bible)

Nevertheless, two versions (Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition and Knox Bible) add new words that are not found in 35 Bible’s versions; they say: “And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer”.

To my surprise, ‘Luke 22:43’ is not found for the version: Revised Standard Version which says in the Footnotes: [Other ancient authorities add verses 43: “And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him”]

Does this mean that the entire verse ‘Luke 22:43’ is forged?

Apart from the study of 38 versions of the Bible and how they add and remove words that are not the Word of God, let us discuss how could an Angel gave God strength or strengthened him?

Who strengthen who? Who fortify who? Who support who? Who help who?

God is the Supreme Creator and all of His Angels are but creatures; how come that one of these creatures strengthens, fortifies supports or helps His Almighty Supreme Creator?

In the Quran, the Angels are creatures belonged to Allah. They worship and glorify Allah all the time, by day and night; they are never languid.

N.B. the Angels do not eat, drink, marry, rest, sleep etc. they are not like us.

Also, the Angels cannot do anything on His own authority; it is required to have the permission of Allah for every act. The Angels do not disobey Allah in what he commands them, and they do what they are commanded to do.

The following verses of the Quran (according to Shakir translation) may give you some fruitful facts about the Angels

The verses 21:19-20:

19) And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; and those who are with him are not proud to worship Him (Allah), nor do they grow weary

20) They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid

The verse 97:4

The angels and Gabriel descend in it by the permission of their Lord for every affair,

The verse 66:6

…., they do not disobey Allah in what he commands them, and do as they are commanded

Chapter 6 of the Quran (94) how Evil they Judge

Did they know Allah? And, if they knew Allah, what is their belief’s problem. The Quran says: So that which is intended for their gods does not reach Allah, and that which is intended for Allah does reach their gods! Evil is their ordinance. How evil they judge!  It is well known that Islam prohibits all of the above faith and acts.

——————————————-

The background of Ayah 6:136

The faith of the unbelievers among the Arabs was amazing.

Did they know Allah?

Yes, they did. The name of Allah as the Almighty Supreme Creator was known among the entire Arabs before Islam.

But, if they knew Allah, what is their belief’s problem?

Their faith was that Allah is the Supreme God; but

§  They can not talk to Allah directly,

§  They can not pray to Allah directly

§  They can not worship Allah directly

To solve this faith-problem, they – with the help of their devils- invented gods to worship.

Their invented gods were the idols made of stones.

They – as their devils inspired unto them – claimed that their idols are gods or Allah’s partners or Allah’s associates which organize the world and take care of it.  They had idols for rain, idols for plants, idols for war, idols for marriage, idols for luck, idol for hunting etc.

§  They used to talk to their gods (idols) directly

§  They used to pray to their gods (idols) directly

§  They used to worship their gods (idols) directly

However, they used to assign to Allah the harvests and the cattle and also assign to their gods (idols) the harvests and the cattle but their way in doing that was very funny.

Ayah 6:136 says:

They ascribe to Allah of the crops and cattle and they say: “This is Allah’s” in their make believe and this is for Allah’s partners (their gods, idols)

However, if any of the portions of Allah’s associates (their gods) fell into Allah’s portion, they used to restore it to that of their gods,

But, when something of Allah’s portion fell into their gods’ portion, they would leave it there, saying, ‘Allah is Independent and He is not in need of this’,

Allah, exalted be He, says: So that which is intended for their associates (gods) does not reach Allah, and that which is intended for Allah does reach their associates (gods).

Evil is that, provision of theirs, which they decree!

Evil is their ordinance.

Evil is that which they judge

How evil they judge! 

It is well known that Islam prohibits all of the above Evil faith and acts.

The verse 6:136 in different translations

QARIB:

They set aside for Allah a shwere of what he has created of tilth and cattle saying: ‘this is for Allah so they claim and this for our associates (gods). ‘The shwere of their associates never reaches Allah, but the shwere of Allah reaches their associates. How evil they judge!

SHAKIR:

and they set apart a portion for Allah out of what he has created of tilth and cattle, and say: this is for Allah– so they assert– and this for our associates; then what is for their associates, it reaches not to Allah, and wver is (set apart) for Allah, it reaches to their associates; evil is that which they judge

PICKTHAL:

they assign unto Allah, of the crops and cattle which he created, a portion, and they say: “this is Allah’s” – in their make-believe – “and this is for (his) partners in regard to us.” thus that which (they assign) unto his partners in them reacheth not Allah and that which (they assign) unto Allah goeth to their (so-called) partners. Evil is their ordinance.

YUSUFALI:

Out of what Allah hath produced in abundance in tilth and in cattle, they assigned him a shwere: they say, according to their fancies: “this is for Allah, and this” – for our “partners”! but the shwere of their” partners “reacheth not Allah, whilst the shwere of Allah reacheth their “partners” ! Evil (and unjust) is their assignment!
