Jesus and Islam


Jesus is one of the greatest figures in the world. For Christians, he is the absolute greatest of all, but in Islam, he I just a highly respected prophet to the Jews. Given the sharp differences in the two understandings of Jesus, both can not be true. What does Islam and Muslim scholars say about Jesus?
The Quran: Who Wrote It?
Is the Quran today the same as the original teachings from Muhammad himself? Of course Sunni Muslims would say yes. In fact, all Muslims must agree that they are, but, in the Shiite sect of Islam, not all are in full agreement of the source of the final product of the original teachings. To remove Christian bias, we will look at the historical quotes from Muslims themselves and see how accurate the Quran is.
Do Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Mormons Worship The Same God?
This is a logical question considering these different 'religions' all claim to come from or 'depend' on the same book, The Torah and mostly the Old Testament. Because they talk of the same "God" does that mean they all believe IN THE God of the Torah and of Christianity? To know this, we need to look at essential characteristics of the god each religion that claims to believe in the same God and then simply compare.
Islam: Muhammad's Fatal Mistake
Much like the bible, the Quran is dependent on the truthfulness of its teachings. The source of the Quran's teachings is claimed divine. Divine truths can not contradict other known truths or false in its teachings and this must be true for the Quran to be true (Quran 2:256).
It is clear the church taught The Trinity when Muhammad was having the Quran written. The teaching of the Trinity is found all over the bible and the doctrine of the trinity was described in mid 4th century. Orthodox Christianity has always taught that the Trinity is simply this: One God made up of three unique equal 'persons'; God the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. One Triune God. This is evident from all the early church writings and councils long before the creation of the Quran.
The Quran on the other hand runs into a big problem in its record of what Christianity taught and claimed. In fact, Muhammad miss understood the doctrine of the Trinity found in the bible and taught for hundreds of years before him. His misunderstanding and ignorance is recorded in the Quran.
