"Another of God’s attributes which Jesus possesses is that of judge."
Let us look at Matthew 19:28
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
As we can see even the disciples have the authority to judge people.So are u going to tell me that they are God also??
"Jesus clearly claimed that He is the Messiah with all the powers given the Messiah in the Messianic prophecies."
Jesus also said that it is the Father who gives him all powers and that he does NOTHING on his own.
"He claimed that He is the son of man from Daniel who accepts worship."
He did not tell people to worship him.
He said:"Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except for God Alone.
"He claimed the power to forgive sins."
As i mentionned earlier this doesn tprove he is God.
"He called God His father in a special way."
If he is God then how can there be a God above him??
"Apparently, many Muslims have decided that the message in the Koran and the Bible are irreconcilable. That is why they attack the Bible. However, after Muslims decide that the Bible is completely unreliable, should not quote the Bible to support their own theology. It is unfair to try to convince people who are unskilled in Biblical exegesis that the Koran and the Bible are compatible if they aren’t."
I think you know that Both books agree on several subjects so u cannot refute that.As far as i am concerned i accept part of the Bible as the word of God.
"On the other hand, perhaps it is possible for Muslims to accept the truth in the Bible and remain Muslims. Perhaps they can discover strong synergies between the Koran and Biblical theology. When Muslims discover those synergies, then Islam will become a legitimate manifestation of the truth which God has given to His people through 3,000 years of revelation."
The main fact where we disagree is whether Jesus (peace be upon him) is God or not?Time will tell who is right but as u rightly said the Quran and the Bible can be used together.
