I love fruits but the derivatives of such which may cause one to forget who he/she is, or where he/she is, are not permitted to me. So, the answer is no. It seems you tried to avoid answering. But I shall get back with my questions. Don't go yet.....

"or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. All along Jesus PBUH was referring to his teachings which were as intended by God. Which is why, as opposed to your interpretation, he said in works he and his father were the same. Those words were intended metaphorically. Just as the following are: "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me;" (Luke 9:48). See simple! How about: "...and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father instructed me." John 8:28 "...I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak." John 12:49. and last but not least: Jesus said: "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither one who is sent greater than the one who sent him." (John 13:16). Aren't the above verses so transparent and clear that Jesus never claimed divinity?" 02 December 2014 at 6:18am By The Saint

Greetings The Saint,

I always think in this way...
can the arm do anything without the brain?
and yet they are part of the same body.

Greetings The Saint,

Your statement would seem to demonstrate that they are co-equal.

asalaam,

Greetings The Saint,

The brain might be able to continue its function....
it might be telling the arm to move the hand to pick up something...
but without the arm the brains function becomes a non-function.
So it seems that they are co-equal... both needed to complete the function. 

asalaam and blessings,
