He taught with authority, my Muslim Friend

Christ did flabbergast and astonish His contemporaries with His supreme knowledge of the Torah. He did not only recite its verses but He interpreted its meaning, solved its enigma and taught its principles with authority. The greatest puzzle that confronted the scholars of His day was the fact He never received His education from any institute. The Qur'an confirmed this fact by saying: "I confirmed thee.. to speak to men in the cradle." (The Table 110). Who, according to the Qur'an could speak while in the cradle, without the need of months and years of learning to speak and to reason, as the manner of all men? There is no purpose for a regular human to be born a virgin. According to the Qur'an, why was Christ the only one in all of history to have had the ability to speak while in the cradle? Greater yet, why was Christ the only one in all of history to have been born a virgin? If Christ were a mere human, His virgin birth would have had no significance whatsoever. Since it is not possible for God to be born genetically; therefore, He was born of a virgin. The virgin birth did not make of Christ a god but because He is the Almighty God. He could be born of a virgin; and because He is Omniscient, He did not need anyone to teach Him to speak or to reason. No wonder then that He astounded the people of His day with His wisdom (Luke 4:36).

 

John 7:15

The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”
