(i)
Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pub). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pub).
(ii)
We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (Set).
(iii)
We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe.
(iv)
We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pub).
(v)
We believe that he gave life to the dead with God?s permission.
(iv)
We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God?s permission.
II - CONCEPT OF GOD IN CHRISTIANITY:
1.
Jesus Christ (pub) never claimed Divinity
One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pub), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians? insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ (pub). A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pub) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pub) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pub) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):
(i) "My Father is greater than I."
[The Bible, John 14:28]
(ii) "My Father is greater than all."
[The Bible, John 10:29]
(iii) "?I cast out devils by the Spirit of God?."
[The Bible, Mathew 12:28]
(iv) "?I with the finger of God cast out devils?."
[The Bible, Luke 11:20]
(v) "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
[The Bible, John 5:30]
Muslims claim to revere Jesus but totally ignore his teachings.
If Jesus was only a prophet they why would he also be a liar when he says that he is the only begotten Son of God? Because he is NOT a lair, he IS the SON OF GOD.
Jesus is known as Isa in the Quran. Islam considers Isa as a great and beloved prophet who achieved his objective of moral and spiritual victory without the use of violence.
FYI....Buddhists and Muslims are close friends in Bhutan and Nepal. Hindus give both Muslims and Buddhists a hard time there.
Jesus is the same person which both the Quran and the Bible mention but he is seen as a prophet amongst Muslims and a son of God for some Christians and God Himself for other Christians.
Muslims worldwide believe that Jesus was a man but he was special because he was born to a virgin (Mary) and gifted with special powers but he was a man none the less. He was sent the Bible which was the word of God.
Christians believe that he was part-God or the human form of God and therefore he had special powers to bring life to the dead, etc.
This is the main dispute between the 2 religions. Both religions love and respect Jesus (Prophet Isa).
They do refer to the same person but the way Islam portrays Jesus is heretical. Islam also came along some 500 - 600 years later, using existing biblical texts to re-write their own holy book.
It's the same person. They just have different ideas about who he was. I know how that sounds, that they have different ideas about who he was, but that he's the same person. But, that's the way it is.
i am a Muslim
no ,prophet is just a man .only man ,he have no ability like god ,
Jesus in Islam just a prophet not god or not son of god
you can go to pedant to know more about jesus in islamic section
it's right that Christians called Jesus the son of GOD, and Muslims called him a prophet, like it has been said in the Qumran...
but the right things is that there is only one GOD as the Qumran says:
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetter not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
which means that he doesn't have a son or a daughter or a mother or a father he's one and the only one.
and it was said the same in the bible that there is only one god and that Jesus was a prophet and this was before they change and corrupter the bible in the past...
The Abrahamic religions all follow a similar pattern.
Jews believe (i think) that David was the last prophet of God.
Christians believe that after David came Jesus (the messiah).
Muslims believe that after Jesus (pronounced Essa in Arabic) came Mohammed who was the last prophet (messenger) of God.
Muslims don't believe that Mohammed or Jesus were the son of God, as God has no parents, no children, no equal etc. Christians believe he was the son of God and in the new testament of the bible they be live he was God (the trinity... father, son, holy spirit).
Each prophet brought with them new messages from God. Where they religions branch off is where they believe who was the last prophet.
Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and many others is a 'Prophet' of God, in Quran. Jesus is 'God' which comes to the world, in Bible. God in Quran is Not Same with God in Bible.
If a Mosley believe "God" of Bible, he/she is Not a real Moslem,
(see Surah Al-Kafirun in Quran).
If a christian believe "God" of Quran, he/she is Not a real Christian.
A people must beleive his religion 100%, and must think... his religion is TRUE, other religion is False.
We have a freedom to beleive a religion.
Muslims say Jesus was just a prophet. Not even Muhammad
was just a prophet. Like all prophets, they were spirits that had
advanced to higher levels, and came back to teach us. In different
times, cultures. And according to the Big Scheme of things.
Knowledge has been kept from us, because if we knew how
powerful we are as physical/spiritual beings. Along with our
nature to be jealous, envious, and wanting revenge. We would have destroyed ourselves by now.
But this is the HERE AND NOW. And God is opening our
minds. What we accept, and how use it. Will determine our
survival.
Yup, both Islam and Christianity have a special place for Jesus, it's just that the role they ascribe to him differs.
Actually there are some people who claim that:
1 Jesus went to India when he was young
2 Jesus went to India after his crucifixion
3 Jesus is also known in Buddhism circles
Some people even claim that his tomb in is modern-day Pakistan.
I find it almost tragic therefore that, as you can see from the answers, people focus on the differences rather than the similarities.
Why not say, yes he was a great being and is important to us. Rather than argue about what role exactly he had. Why not focus on the fact that his message is the same in the religions?
Iraqi, Iranians were Zoroastrians, Afgani were Buddhists, Indonesians were Hindu. Europeans had many religions, Americans and Africans had their own religions (you can go on and on). All beautiful and diverse. Until two murdering monsters, Christianity and Islam appeared.
The ignorant scholars of both Islam and Christianity have falsely translated the name of Isa AL Masai, bin Mariam to say Jesus Christ son of Mary in a misguided effort to make Jesus of the Gospels and Isa of the Quran the same person.
The Quran says of Isa AL Masih:
"That they said we killed the Messiah Isa, the son of Mariam, the Apostle of Allah, but they killed him not. nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no knowledge but only conjecture, for a surety they killed him not". Q 4:175
Allah therefore says that the alleged crucifixion of Isa the Messiah was definitely a Hoax and all that surrounds this Hoax are mere extensions of the Hoax.
Allah does not say in the Quran that they did not crucify Jesus, since Isa cannot be translated Jesus and since Isa is a totally different character from Jesus.
Isa was the Messiah and Messiah is Christ, but Isa is not Jesus and the trick here is the switching of names, which is done in the Gospels in a dream of Joseph who they claim was the husband of Mary, when neither the Old Testament nor the Quran required a husband for Mary, as in Greek mythology, which is what is used in the Gospels to switch the name and personality of the Messiah, which makes Jesus different from Christ or from Isa AL Masih.
There are so-called Muslim sheikhs who will tell you that Jesus was named Yeshua or Jeshua in their search for an excuse to continue with their fraudulent Jesus, but Yeshau or Jeshua means "Jah is Salvation" while Jesus is a combination of Jah and Zeus to make Zeus equal with Jah and Zeus equal to Salvation, which is another Hoax that is added to the Hoax of the crucifixion.
When Allah says the crucifixion was a Hoax attached to extensions of the Hoax, Muslims should understand Jesus and Christianity and the Bible to be extensions of the Hoax and should not make Jesus and Isa equal, which is tantamount to infidelity in judging the Quran by the Bible and judging by other than what Allah has revealed.
Every Muslim knows that Allah speaks the truth and the confirmation that the crucifixion was a hoax ?with only conjecture" to follow, it quite naturally follows that all that comes with this Hoax amplifies the Hoax,
It can therefore be safely said that Christ is in the Quran and the Bible, but it will be dangerous to say that Jesus is in the Quran.
The companions of Isa al Masih were known as Nazaaraa or Helpers in the Quran, and the Nazarenes of the Gospels can be said to be the equivalent of these Helpers, who were all Muslims, but those who worship Jesus are not Muslims and worship two crucified thieves who were so named in the Gospels, and worshippers of other than Allah are not Muslim and do not follow the Messiah or Christ.
Christians who convert to Islam under the impression that Isa and Jesus are the same have been deceived and remain within Christianity to the extent that many of them are made to believe that they have become "perfect Christians" on accepting Islam, but the Islam of Jesus is not Islam as it is not the Islam of Isa al Masih or the Christ.
Whether they would have accepted Islam with the knowledge that there is actually no Jesus in Islam remains unknown, but to accept Islam fully means to sever all ties with the past of ignorance and false worship.
Ironically, the Bible agrees with the Quran about the Christ not being crucified, and this is brought out in "The Age Of Reason" and it has been accepted by Muslim scholars, but going public will make a whole lot of difference to what has been ignored for the past 20 years by those who make a profit from the fallacy and who dare not venture into the real World of the Quran and of Allah.
All Muslim websites have been warned and ignore the warning.
Jesus and Isa al masih are as different as chalk is from cheese.
According to the God?s Commandment, we can not imagine God in terms of a thing or a person. Nor we can paint God in terms of a father or a man. No sketch of the God can be made as nothing is alike God.
The Scriptures tell that God is the Sole Ordainer of every order. And___ to denounce God as Nature, Love, Time, Knowledge, Spirit, Almightiness etc. has been declared by God as a tremendous & unpardonable injustice.
God is the All-alone God. God is neither a thing nor a person. If there had been some order or composition of God, or a state or stature of God___ then we would have, definitely, apprehended and encompassed God through our intellect. And___ we would have not declared God as Supernatural and Superphysical or Beyond of human intellect.
There might have been a way to reach the creator of God, provided we had been already well-awarded that how-like is God. What is God?s organic order and composition? And___ we had been already awarded that God is not Beyond of human intellect. In such a case, we must have approached the creator of God through intellect-based analysis of the organic order and composition of God.
But, as the first & the foremost point, of the Prophets preaching, has been this very unique verdict alone. That ?nothing is alike God? and God is free from every sort of order & composition and the state & stature. And God has warned, on the Mount of Sinai, that no one should dare to develop God?s image or imagination, by hand or by his intellect. So, the believers of One Alone God should remain well informed of the Real Belief:
REAL BELIEF
1.God is not a someone?s created god or a state or a stature or a person or a thing, instead God is an Absolute Creator.
2.God is the Creator of every system, state, stature, person & thing and nothing is alike God.
3.God is Supreme & Beyond of human intellect.
4.God is since ever and will remain forever.
5.God is the Creator of the cosmos and Ordainer of the Almightiness, Knowledge and the other Attributes.
6.God is the All-Alone Guardian of cosmic system, at all places, and at all times.
7.God is Infinite and Ever-Dominant over everything and everything is helpless and submissive before God.
8.God must be believed, in the same way, as God has commanded to believe.
9.None of the persons or things____ is God?s partner and God is the One Alone God. (Usage of the word ?One? for God means, that no god is beside God. It does not mean that God is limited as ?one? in terms of Mathematics).
10.God is Alone and the Beyond of everything. God is not some whole of certain components. Everything is creature and God is the Absolute Holy Creator of everything.
All of the human beings who claimed themselves a Prophets or Messengers of God___ they have always introduced God as the All-Alone God. The world has never been empty of such human beings, who had not been speaking of God____ the All-Alone God.
God has always been believed as One Alone God in every country and in every age. Prophets have preached about the All-Alone God. None of them has ever talked of duplicate or triplicate gods, or of a total or a whole of many gods, or of a man-god or of demigod, or of a creature-god.
Jesus (PBUH) said:
?No one is good except God alone?
(Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19)
And___ Muhammad (PBUH) said:
?There is no go save Allah?
(Al-Quran 37:35)
And___ God said on the Mount of Sinai:
?I ___ and I Alone____ am God
No other god is real?
(Duet 32:39)
If there had been some other god, or some creator of God, or some partner of God___ then___ the news of such a God would have been brought to us by someone. But the situation has never been like that, at all.
The Message of Monotheism alone has been repeated again and again, which is an undeniable proof of the fact, that there is no god but the One Alone God. God is our Lord and the Creator of the WHOLE but God is not a WHOLE or a component of the WHOLE___, which could be discovered by human intellect.
If to touch God through intellect___ had been a positive and a regular action___ then___ the question of ?who created god?? would have been a reasonable question. But the situation has never been like that as nothing is alike God. God has always been believed as Supernatural and Super-Physical and Beyond of human intellect.
Those who believe in creaturely god and declare God as a whole___ as a father___ as a thing___ as a worshipper___ as a conjugal lover___ as a power of time___ as a living age___ as a person___ as an image or imagination___ and worship the same. They can, of course, tell that who created God or who is the creator of their creaturely God?
But if, even these people, did declare the question, as an unreasonable and absurd question___ then___ all of the people, must clear their minds from such type of questions and notions. By and by they must clear, all of the places of worship, from the idols and images of God. And___ they must immediately stop, their malpractice of introducing God, in creaturely terms, as the practice has already been declared, as hatred and enmity against God, not by some Prophet, but by the Lord, our God on the mount of Sinai:
?I ____ and I Alone___ am God:
No other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
And no one can oppose what I do?.
(Duet 32:39)
?Worship no god but Me.
Do not make for yourselves images of
anything in heaven or on earth or in the water
under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol
Or worship it, because I am the Lord your God
and
I tolerate no rivals?.
(Bible, Exodus 20:3, 4, 5)
During his preaching, Jesus had never called himself as God or Son-God. Now, look upon those people who consider Jesus as God or Son-God. They are, baselessly, blaming even those people who were present at the spot and knew that Jesus was not God or son-god. In other words, the people with the belief that Jesus is God or Son-god; are far more enemies of Jesus who tried to crucify him.
The people who say that Jesus is God or Son-God or in his guise, the Lord descended upon earth because of God?s love for humanity. They are, baselessly, blaming Jesus and the Lord of Jesus, the both.
Jesus believed in the same God___ who was believed in__ by Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and all the prophets (peace &blessings of the LORD be upon all of them).
According to Jesus, God, the Holy One; is the Saviour of the Whole mankind. God is capable (be God glorified as God is) to relive off every infliction. None of the human beings is saviour beside God. Jesus, himself is also, not a saviour at all. The people who have chosen him as their saviour__ they have denied the Holy One___ who alone is the saviour of Jesus and whole mankind and the act of choosing Jesus as saviour__ is equal to hate the Holy One___ as it is clearly written in the old Testament:-
?I am the Lord your God. Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heavens or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it. Because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me, on their descendants, down to third and fourth generation.?
(Exodus 20:1-5)
Now, ponder over the point that whosoever says that Jesus is God___ Holy Spirit is God___ Mary is God; has he not made an idol beside the One God? While nothing is there in the earth and heavens which could be considered in terms of the One God.
Beware please! A father is a father__ a mother is a mother___ and a son is a son__ and they all are the creatures of God. They cannot be considered as God___ as god is their Creator__ and nothing is like the Lord.
Creatures of God are God?s Creatures they can never be considered as God or as the parts of God. Same is the case of Jesus who is a creature and, as such, can not be considered as God or a part of the Creator or the son of Creator.
Jesus is not a Saviour. He is not capable, even, to save himself from his enemies. How he can be considered ?All-Able? to save everyone on the earth. It is the Lord alone__ Who is the All-Able to save every creature of the universe including the mankind__ as the Lord is already saving__ each of them__ without any desolation and defect.
Jesus was born after Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Moses and the numerous other Prophets (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them). If he were the Son-God, then, all of the foregoing Prophets, must have been the believers of Trinity. But the case is not like that at all. None of them was the believer of Trinity, rather, none of them, had, even, heard about the name of Trinity, in their times. Hence, Trinity is nothing else but an invented and artificial concept which has no existence, even, during the time of Jesus. It is, therefore, a rootless concept from all accounts.
Krishna even discouraged his father Nanda Maharaja from worshipping the demigod Indra, because he wanted to establish THE FACT that people need not to worship any demigod. They need only to worship the Supreme Lord, because their ultimate goal is to return to (Real) God?s abode.?
(Bhagavad-Gita, Introduction, Page 20, 21)
THE SUPREME LORD
Who said in the Godly voice
?I, and I alone, am God
and all other gods
(or goddesses and demigods)
are unreal.?
(Bible Duet. 32:39)
?Worship no god but Me?
(Exodus 20:3)
?Worship no god but Me?,
clearly means that:
?There is no god but Me.?
The same Words has been revealed by the Lord through the Lord?s Revelation, Al-Quran:
?There is no god but Allah
(The One Alone God)?
Jesus (PBUH) had given this message in his prayer on the cross (The Psalm 22)
?Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord
Honour the Lord,
You descendants of Jacob
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel.?
(The Psalm 22:23)
It means that praise is meant for the Lord alone. And___ to honour the Lord means to obey the Lord in terms of the Lord?s Commandments and to worship the Lord means to seek help and refuge from the Lord as the Lord is the Omnipotent-Protector alone. And___ that is the sole purpose of human life.
so, PEACE here in this world and there in the Hereafter, can be ensured through obedience of the Lord, the Holy One alone; in accordance with the Lord?s commandments, given in all the Scriptures, already, possessed by the people of the Scriptures.
Therefore, the Lord of Moses (PBUH) and the Lord of Muhammad (PBUH) and the Lord of Jesus (PBUH) and the Lord of Krishna (PBUH) is the same, Alone Lord who is known as Our God, the One and the Alone and the Absolute Holy.
True servants of the Lord should, therefore, never be named after their Prophets__ as Abrahamics (the followers of Abraham)__ Jacobeans (the followers of Jacob)___ Christians (the followers of Christ)___ or Muhammadans (the followers of Muhammad). They should be properly named as Muslims___ or the servants of the Lord___ as they have been named in the Bible as well as in Quran. The Bible contains the name of slave/servant while Quran contains the name of Muslim. The literal oneness of the name of slave/servant and Muslim___ does indicate the virtual oneness of belief. The belief of all the Prophets__ was one and the same__ and that was faith and trust in One Alone God.
Jesus declared Himself the Son of God according to the scriptures.
Muslim's on the other hand call Him a Prophet which does not make any sense, he would have to be a lying prophet as he did declare Himself the son of God.
I believe Jesus is the Son of God, he was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, he bought us back by His own blood which was shed on the cross.
There is power in the Name of Jesus to save your soul, and there is power 'only' in the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse you from all sin.
Jesus said " I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me"
He is the way! The only way
He is the lover of your soul. But you have to first believe in Him , that he was the Only Son of God, confess and repent of your sin, and you shall be saved.
Im not saying you will never sin again, but it will be under the covering of Christs blood, He will come and dwell within you by His Spirit, and empower you to live a Holy life. For it is His Grace which will follow you forever till death and unto life eternal. He is Faithful and True.
Hell is real, the same as Heaven is real.
Satan is real, just as Christ is real.
There has been a battle raging for the souls of men since the fall of Adam.
The greatest miracle is when someone accepts Christ as Lord of their life. The reason that this is the greatest miracle is because God can not make anyone do this, it is an act of your own will! God gave us all free will to choose Him or not
Healings and deliverance's are all great miracles, but Christ is in control of these miracles.
There is a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun.
Christ is the answer, and always has and will be.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, Scripture declares that every knee shall one day bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
