The Bible: The Muslim View Of Jesus

Decent Essays

The Muslim view of Jesus Christ is much different than most people believe. It is also much different from the Christian viewpoint of Jesus. Muslims believe that Jesus was a great man and outstanding prophet, but he was not the son of God, nor was he an incarnation of God. Muslims believe that Jesus did not even die on the cross, rather he only appeared to. Jesus is not as great as Muhammad, but rather simply paved the way for him. Muslims also believe that the Bible prophesied the coming of Muhammad, not Jesus, in places like Deuteronomy and John. Muhammad is God’s greatest prophet, even above Jesus. Muhammad is also the only one worthy of being an intercessor between God and man. Muslims believe in the end times, Jesus will return to correct the false teachings that he was the son of God.

First, Deuteronomy is speaking of an Israelite. Muhammad was not an Israelite like Jesus was. Second, John is talking about the Holy Spirit, not Muhammad. It would take great effort to put Muhammad into any Bible verse. Second, Muhammad was inferior to Jesus. Jesus never sinned, while Muhammad was full of sin. He married a nine-year-old girl, something only a madman would do. There is no way Muhammad was a better man than Jesus. Finally, Muslims also say that Muhammad is the only one worthy of being an intercessor for God and man. If Jesus was perfect and Muhammad sinned, this makes Jesus the better intercessor, not Muhammad. Plus, a sinful mad would be just as corrupted as any other man, meaning he could not be an intercessor
