Deity of Christ
Muslims might argue that Jesus cannot be God because he is referred to as a witness and not as the Creator.
Quick answer
The Christian response emphasizes that Jesus identifies himself as 'the Amen,' a title attributed to God in the Hebrew Bible, which signifies his divine authority and fulfillment of God's promises. This connection illustrates that Jesus shares the same divine nature as God, supporting the claim of his deity.
