    i think this passage explains why Jesus took on human form:

    Hebrews 2:16-18 (kjv)

    16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

    17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

    18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

    Or, in a more amplified way:

    Hebrews 2:16-18 (amplified Bible)

    16 For, as we all know, He (Christ) does not take hold of [the fallen] angels [to give them a helping hand], but He does take hold of [the fallen] descendants of Abraham [extending to them His hand of deliverance].

    17 Therefore, it was essential that He had to be made like His brothers (mankind) in every respect, so that He might [by experience] become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things related to God, to make atonement (propitiation) for the people’s sins [thereby wiping away the sin, satisfying divine justice, and providing a way of reconciliation between God and mankind].

    18 Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted, He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tempted and exposed to suffering.

    Seeing as a muslim you’re making fun of Jesus, you might want to know what Jesus actually teaches

    Matthew 5:43-48

    • 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
    • 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
    • 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
    • 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
    • 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
    • 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

    Must be because of what i posted.

    instead of the article being scrutenized (and educating people on how to detect pseudoscience) the post got removed.

    At least i got a nice reply showing what was someone’s reason for doubting the scientific process of that publisher… before it got moderated.

    Maybe it’s possible to use a flags of some sort, to indicate that, even though it’s a scientific publication and was peer reviewed, that this Lemmy community thinks it’s a bad piece. (but not by up/downvote as a downvote means it goes to the end of the pile, and the education effect is lost)

    Like, i want to put this article under your attention, so that i get an idea of what others think about it https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000282 But i’m afraid to post it, because of the possible backlash(i.e. moderation and maybe banning?)
