I assume Islam considers these claims to be misinterpretted or misreported.  But the primary source for establishing Jesus as a messenger of God is also is the primary source for establishing His divinity.  And if Jesus didn't rise from the dead then what was the point of his ministry?

My answer to your question, and to those repeating the liar, crazy, or God theorem is that you're missing an important point: what if he (peace be upon him) never claimed that. What do I make of the claims: they were never made, and that's what's the noble Quran tells me.\n\n"And behold! God will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.\nI spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.\nIf Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise." [Translation of verses 116-118 of the 5th chapter of the Noble Quran]

Jews never recognised JESUS as Messiah & Christans never recognised Muhammed as true prophet but Muslims recognised all the prophets of God.There are clear signs of his peophecy in bible but still they say he is not a prophet\nIsaiah's vision: \n\nIsaiah saw a vision of two riders. \n\n"And he saw a chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, a chariot of as-ses, [and] a chariot of camels .." (Isaiah 21:7) \n\nWho was the rider upon the as-s? Every Sunday school student will tell us that this was a prophecy of Jesus (peace be upon him), as stated in John: \n\n"And Jesus, when he had found a young as-s, sat thereon; as it is written," (John 12:14) \n\nbut who is the promised prophet who would ride the camel? If it is not Muhammad (peace be upon him) then this prophecy has yet to be fulfilled. Let us read on... \n\n"And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, [with] a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground." (Isaiah 21:9) \n\nBabylon did indeed fall before Islam and the Islamic nation under the guidance of Muhammad (peace be upon him) did indeed succeed in eradicating the worship of idols from Babylon replacing it with the worship of God alone. In fact, the Muslims were the only believers in the God of Isaiah to ever succeed in fulfilling this prophesy. \n\n"The burden upon Arabia ..." (Isaiah 21:13) \n\nWhat does the word "burden" mean? Let us ask the Scofield Study Bible: \n\n"…which also means an oracle is a word sometimes used in the prophetical writings to indicate a divine message of judgment" (Scofield Study Bible New King James Version, note 1, p. 792) \n\nSo the Muslims of Arabia (and subsequently Muslims everywhere) would be assigned the burden of God's message. \n\n"The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war" (Isaiah 21:14-15) \n\nIn "The Dictionary of the Bible," bearing the Nihil Obstat, Imprimatur, and Imprimi Potest (official Church seals of approval), by John McKenzi, we read that "Tema" is: \n\n"a place name and tribal name of Arabia; a son of Ishmael.... The name survives in Teima, an oasis of the part of the Arabian desert called the Nefud in N Central Arabia." \n\nThis word, Tema, is the name of the ninth son of Ishmael (the father of the Arabs), in Genesis 25:13-15 we read: \n\n"And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah" (Genesis 25:13-15). \n\nStrong's concordance tells us that this name was also applied to the land settled by Tema the son of Ishmael. It goes on to explain how this word is "probably of foreign derivation". Indeed, this word, Teima, is an Arabic word which means "Barren desert". It remains the name of a city in the Arabian peninsula just north of "Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah," or "Madinah" for short (Please see Map 1, page 491). Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions were given sanction to migrate. They departed Makkah during the night and left all of their possessions behind. Upon reaching Madinah they were greeted by its citizens with open arms and Muhammad (peace be upon him) assigned each one of the Muhajireen (citizens of Makkah) to one of the Ansar (citizens of Madinah) to house and feed them until they could strike out on their own. This became the first year of the Arab "Hijra" (Emigration) calendar used in Islamic countries to this day. \n\n"For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an

Muhammed was born almost 600 years after Christ.\n\nThen he tried to re-write history and falsify the teachings of Christ:\nMuslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ...\n\nThey reject Christ's divinity;\nthey reject his claim to be the Son of God;\nthey reject his death on the cross...\nthey reject His ressurrection..\nThey reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...\nNeed I say more...?\n\nDon't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .\n\nThe Bible calls Muhammed and those like him  False prophets....\n"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

'fly your fla...' was almost right, the Koran does say that Jesus was only a Prophet, and not the Son of God, it also says that Mohammad was a Prophet, not that Mohammed was God!\nApart from that I agree it is a load of cr**!\nAs to your question, if Jesus is "still alive" why does he need to return, where has he been if he is still alive?\nWho took his place on the cross? I really don't know and it's not as if Crucifixion was anything unusual in those times, hundreds of people (not only followers of Christ) were crucified daily, for all sorts of crimes, people were crucified and set alight to illuminate the Roman arenas at night, it was really no big deal. (unless you were the one being lit up!!  \nI can understand your interest, it's all a great story, but don't get carried away, it is actually only a story!!

coz Muhammed(p.b.u.h) is not dispayed as son of Allah but the last messanger of Allah and supposed to be the dearest one....Jesus is said to be SON of God but gon is neither son or nor him has a son  so the theory proves where as Muhammed(pbuh) was the last messanger sent by Allah for the guidence of human and to teach them do and donts \n\nits not correct what u r saying if u know islam its always says there is only one God that is Allah and Muhammed(phuh) is his messanger.... thats why his name comes beside allah

Well if u take Jesus as prophet then there will be  no confusion...if he was God why havn't  he saved himself, If he was son of God,why didn't God  save him,and thre is no point in getting killed for other's sins.simply Jesus(pbuh) was  a prophet , and we muslims are at peace by believing this

Muslims believe that God revealed a message to humanity through Muhammad (c. 570–July 6, 632) via the angel Gabriel.[6] Muhammad is considered to have been God's final prophet, the "Seal of the Prophets". The revelations made to Muhammad constitute the holy book of Islam, the Qur'an. The Qur'an is believed to be the flawless final revelation of God to humanity, valid until the day of the Resurrection.\n\nMuslims hold that the message of Islam ... submission to the will of the one God ... is the same as the message preached by all the messengers sent by God to humanity since Adam. From a Muslim point of view Islam is the oldest of the monotheistic religions because it represents both the original and the final revelation of God to Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. [7] [8]. Members of all sects of the Muslim faith believe that the Qur'an codifies the direct words of God.\n\nIslamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as prophetic successor traditions to the teachings of Abraham. The Qur'an calls Jews and Christians "people of the Book," and distinguishes them from "polytheists". In order to reconcile discrepancies between the earlier prophets and the Qur'an, Muslims contend that Jews and Christians forgot or distorted the word of God after it was revealed to them. The majority of early, and some modern, Muslim scholars believe it was just distortion in the interpretation shown in the Bible. However, others believe that there was also textual distortion, that Jews changed the Tawrat (Torah), and Christians the Injil (Gospels) by altering the meaning, form and placement of words in their respective holy texts

they say they do but they don't jesus is god in flesh. god is the trinity father, SON, holy spirit.  the muslims say that jesus was a phrophet. but they also say that jesus was tring to take credit for what god did. they do not beleive that jesus was his son  John 3:16 "for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever beleives in him shall not perish but shall have everlasting life." \n\nif u don't beleive in Jesus u don't beleive in God. In order to get to God you must go through Jesus

In Islam, we believe Jesus (Isa- PBUH) was a human prophet sent by God.  However, I'm not sure if I believe in the Da Vinci Code.  This wasn't mentioned in the Quran, so I'm not sure I believe it.  And please do not concern yourself with richbro's comments.  They are arrogant, demeaning comments only ignorant people will type.

Jesus was a human being, born of a virgin named Mary of Nazareth.\nHis personality is controversial because 3 major world relgions see him diferently.\nStrangely enough the three great nations of the world : Jews, Christians and Muslims are at variance with regard, both, to the birth as well as the death of Jesus Christ who was born among the Jews.\n\nHis Birth:-\nThe Jews declare his birth to be illegitimate and they are guilty of uttering a grievous calumny against Mary, mother of Jesus.\nThe Christians,  believe that Jesus Christ was born without the agency of an earthly father and that he was the son of God Himself.\nThe Muslims on their part, believe that Jesus, no doubt, was born without agency of an earthly father, but he was not the son of God.\n\nHis Death:-\nThe Jews believe that Jesus died on the cross because he was a false prophet.\nThe Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross in atonement of the sins of humanity, was resurrected soon thereafter, and then ascended to Heaven.\nThe orthodox Muslims believe that God saved Jesus from "death by crucifixion" and ascended bodily to heaven, and will come down to earth again to smash the cross and what it stands for and to purify the faith of the believers.\n\nThe Ahmadiyya Muslim Community declares that Jesus Christ only fell into a swoon on the Cross, but when he was taken down from it, he recovered and migrated to Kashmir, India where he died a natural death at the age of 120.\n\nJesus Son of Mary\nIslamic Beliefs\n\nIslam is a religion which requires belief in not only the Prophethood of Muhammadsaw but all the prophets of God, including Jesus (Qur'an 2:137).\n\nThe Holy book of Islam, the Quran, relates in detail the story of Jesus, including his birth, mission as a Prophet to the Israelites, and his crucifixion. Muslims believe that this story is in harmony with the Bible too. Indeed, a whole chapter in the Qur'an is named after the mother of Jesus (Chapter 19 - Maryam). \n\nBirth of Jesus\nIn Islam, Mary is described as a pious and righteous woman who symbolizes righteous believers blessed with Divine inspiration. Islam then affirms the fatherless birth of Jesus and rejects outright the opposing claim that his birth was illegitimate. \n\nWhereas, Islam recognizes the virgin birth of Jesus as a miraculous event, it does not consider it unnatural; the laws of nature are never broken. It just reflects the inability of man to fully understand the science behind various phenomena observed in nature. Numerous scientists have explained the virgin births. \n\nIn Islam, the immaculate conception of Jesus is not interpreted to mean that he was in some way a Divine Being. He was still a human being (Qur'an 19:31). \n\nDivinity of Jesus\nIslam presents Jesus as a human who believed in the absolute Unity and Indivisibility of God (Qur'an 3:52). \n\nMuslims consider the doctrine of Divinity of Jesus and Trinity as later changes to the teachings of Jesus. The New Testament itself furnishes abundant evidence to show that Jesus was only a human being whom God chose for the reformation of His people, and repeatedly contradicts the Divinity of Jesus. Jesus always referred to himself as having been sent by God (John 17:3) and his followers, too, considered him a man approved by God (Qur'an 19:37; Acts 2:22, John 3:2). \n\nHe was undoubtedly called the son of God, but this title has only been employed metaphorically and in fact is used for all the chosen ones of God (Matt 5:9, Exodus 4:22). The literal connotation of 'son of God' as a Divine Being and hence the subsequent development of Trinity Dogma was the result of Hellenistic influences on Christianity as it spread in the Gentile world. The Semitic usage of 'son of God' was misunderstood and forgotten and disputes about the exact status of Jesus erupted, as recorded in the early Church history. \n\nJesus prayed to God like all other God-fearing individuals (Luke 5:16), and engaged

I beileve in your Koran its says jesus will come back and admit he lied about being the Messiah. \nBut to answer the question...Jesus will come and raise up the living/dead christians first to be judged. He will get the rest later.

When you pick up specifics out of the biblical or Koranic history, these may seem unrelated or even contradictory. However to get the real essence of this try reading the genesis book or the koranic description of Adam, the angels and his exile to the earth.\n\nA succession of prophets from Adam to Mohammed and related events that bind major religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam together. If all the prophets are given equal importance things are better understood. Both Jews and Muslims do not believe in the son-of-god theory though muslim rever Jesus as one of their own prophet. Despite Moses prophecieing the coming of "messiah" which came as Jesus, jews are still waiting for him. \n\nThe basic concept of all religions is :\n\n1. Presence of one Supreme  being\n2. Tenets to keem social order in the world.\n\nFaith and things like that are hightened to make people follow the straight path.\n\nHope this gives you some insight.

Not only was it written thousands of years ago and changed many times, the first writings of the gospel were put down many years after Christ's death...which explains why they don't agree. More importantly, the religion of Christianity was created by Paul, who never met Jesus. He created it out of the popular practice of the time: sacrifice. Jesus is seen as the ultimate sacrifice offered to God, which frees everyone from sin. Basically a BIG version of sacrificing a goat to god for a good harvest. Jesus had nothing to do with the creating of the religion. As always, it's just a bunch of guys trying to get people to do what they want. Religion is simply the mystical version of politics.

The answer to your question is a resounding, yes, and He still does.  He is NOT dead.  He is Resurrected from the dead.  No other human that has ever existed throughout all history can claim this act.  This is what differentiates Jesus as the True Messiah, as truly Divine, while all others are fakes, imposters and mere men.  \n\nAlso, since He now exists, you have the privilege to call upon His Name, and He will audibly answer you.  If you desire in your heart an actual relationship with Christ, He says, "Knock and I will answer," for he is the Door.\n\nIt amazes me how people today are so skeptical and jaded that they are actually preventing themselves from acquiring "wholeness" in Christ.  That was the whole purpose behind His Redemptive Deed upon the Cross, to reconcile us (our fallen sin nature) back to the Father.  He is our Salvation.  His resurrection created a Door through which we may re-attain in us what was lost by the Great Primordial Fall when we became divorced from God (the Great Divorce).  The process of accepting Christ Yeshua (Jesus) as your personal Savior is a “Rebirth” where you are spiritually “rewired” and “reconnected” back to the Godhead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit through Christ’s ultimate act of Love, the giving up of His mortal life for your sins.\n\nFollowing is the proof of Christ’s existence and divinity:\n\nWhy believe in Christianity over all other religions? \n\n         Critics often ask why Christianity is any better than any other religion in the world.  After all, of all the religions that exist how can it be that only Christianity is true?  If God exists, why can't God use different religions?  Don't all paths lead to God? These kinds of questions are asked all the time of Christians and unfortunately the answers aren't always very good ones particularly when dealing with people who have a relativistic truth base and don't believe in absolutes.\n     Therefore, in an attempt to demonstrate why Christianity is true and all other religious systems are false, I've prepared the following list of reasons for Christianity's superiority.    \nThere are such things as absolute truths \n     If truth is relative, then the statement that truth is relative is an absolute truth and would be self defeating statement by proving that truth is not relative.  But, if truth is absolute, then the statement "truth is absolute" is true and not self defeating.  It is true that truth exists.  It is true that truth will not contradict itself as we have just seen.  In fact, it is absolutely true that you are reading this paper.\n     If we can see that there is such a thing as truth in the world, then we could also see that there can be spiritual truth as well.  It is not absurd to believe in spiritual absolutes anymore than physical or logical absolutes.  Even the statement that all religions lead to God is a statement held to be a spiritual absolute by many people.  This simply demonstrates that people do believe in spiritual truth.  Why?  Because truth exists.  However, not all that is believed to be true actually is true.  Therefore, all belief systems cannot be true since they often contradict each other in profound ways. \nReligions contradict each other; therefore, they cannot all be true. \n     Mormonism teaches that there are many gods in existence and that you can become a god.  Christianity teaches that there is only one God and you cannot become a god.  Islam teaches that Jesus is not God in flesh where Christianity does.  Jesus cannot be both God and not God at the same time.  Some religions teach that we reincarnate while others do not.  Some teach there is a hell and others do not. They cannot all be true.  If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God.  Furthermore, it means that some religions are, at the very least, false in their claims to reveal the true God (or gods).  Remember, truth does

to those that quoted Tacitus his accuracy on the subject is quite suspect considering that he was not even born until 20 years after the supposed death of Jesus. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacitus_on_Jesus\n\n\nalso the description of Jesus by Josephus has been proven to been corrupted by Christian scribes especially when compared to copies kept in Muslim lands.

Christians will argue that it was not suicide but rather him giving himself to "save" you. trust me There are better augments against Christianity especially if you use their own texts against them.\n\nhear is a small sample\n1) The Gospels teach that Jesus appeared to the disciples after his resurrection. We are unclear, however, whether those appearances took place in Jerusalem or in the Galilee (or at both locales). According to our reading, the Galilean accounts seem to rule out prior Jerusalem appearances. Where did Jesus actually appear? If he appeared in Jerusalem, how should we read the Galilean accounts?\n\n(2) We find the genealogy of Jesus provided by the Gospels confusing. Who was Jesus’ paternal grandfather? (We notice that Matthew says that his grandfather was Jacob, but Luke says it was Heli). Also, we notice that Matthew declares that Jesus was separated from King David by only twenty-eight generations, but Luke’s list shows a forty-three generation separation. What does this contradiction mean?\n\n(3) The genealogical line linking Jesus and King David seems to pass through Jesus’ father. But since Jesus was the product of a virgin conception, then he does not share in his father’s Davidic ancestry. How is Jesus a descendent of David?
