How does the life of Jesus and Mohammed contrast each other?
156498
Jesus is divine, he lived a life without commiting a single sin, he never married and he is the son of God. According to Christianity Jesus is the Messiah.  According to Islam, Mohammed is simply a messenger.

Stansky is pretty much right. Isa is not Jesus and Islamic mentions of Jesus are not the true Jesus of the Bible. Islam says there is a Jesus but they do not believe He is the Son of God so theire teachings about Him are false. The true Jesus the Son of God whom the Bible teaches about will return to Zion which is an Old Testament name for Jerusalem. He will return at the end of the tribulation and set foot on the Mount of Olives which is in Jerusalem (Zion)When Jesus returns He will set up His kingdom on earth and will reign. After a thousand years satan will lead a final rebellion which God will crush and then the day of judgment will come and Jesus will judge.

The difficulty of explaining the true Jesus is a challenge with a Muslim.  I just accept that they believe in God & hope that God will let them in to heaven, as I do love my Muslim friends.

First of all followers of God's messenger Mohammed peace and blessings be upon him are called Muslims (submitters to God) and not Mohammedans. Secondly, Mohammed peace be upon him is only a human being and not the son of God. God Almighty is above having a partner or a son.\n\nFollowing is a translation of Ch.112 of the Noble Quran\n112.001. Say: He is Allah, the One!\n112.002. Allah, the eternally Besought of all!\n112.003. He begetteth not nor was begotten.\n112.004. And there is none comparable unto Him.\n\nAs for our relationship with God, it does not have to be through anyone, it is direct, for He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing, and He's closer to us than our jugular veins.

By accepting Mohammed as God's messenger, you are expected to believe in the teaching of Quran, which he recieved as a messenger and to obey him. Rest is between you and God, whether you followed the way shown by him or not.

Simplified version: Christians don't acknowledge Muhammad to have been a prophet because he taught a number of things that are contrary to essential Christian doctrine.  For instance, Muhammad denied Yeshua's (Jesus') death, resurrection, and deity.  If someone were to accept Muhammad as a prophet, they would no longer be a Christian.  If acknowledging Muhammad as a prophet of God does not make one a Muslim on some level, then I don't know what would, and becoming a Muslim makes one no longer a Christian.\n\nMore complex answer: Whatever other prophets we may recognize-- whether they be God's prophets to the Israelites, John the Baptist, Yeshua (Jesus) Himself, Peter, Paul, any of the other apostles, or even people today through whom God may yet deign to speak on some level (although whether or not He actually does on the same level as in times past is a matter of some debate within the Christian community)-- whatever other prophets we may recognize, it simply isn't possible for a Christian to remain a Christian while simultaneously embracing the teachings of Muhammad insofar as they contradict basic, essential tenets of Christian theology.  Unless one plays some really funny word games and defines Christianity out of its historic confessions-- even the most basic creeds, such as the Nicene and Apostolic Creeds-- one cannot be a Christian and accept the teachings of Muhammad concerning who Yeshua (Jesus) was.\n\nThis question is somewhat like asking why Sunnis do not believe that Husayn/Hussein was really a caliph.  However, to make the analogy proper, Husayn/Hussein would have had to have denied several facts central to Islam about Muhammad.  To achieve the sort of drastic effect that is required to make this comparison work, the question would have to be something like... "Why do Sunni's acknowledge other caliphs, but not Husayn/Hussein, who denied that Muhammad is Allah's prophet?"  (Naturally, Husayn/Hussein never really denied that Muhammad was Allah's prophet, but for the sake of a fare comparison between the two questions, such must be pretended.)

I will give this a shot, so to speak.\nI am going to give this, but if you want all the scripture references, then it will be very lengthy.  But I can put them here.  \nAbraham had two children Ishmael, through a slave woman, and Isaac through his wife.  The Christian linage follows the seed of Isaac.  Ishmael (father of all arabs) was thrown out of the family.  Anyway the linage of God and his people Israel follow Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob, God changed his name)  Anyway that is where it all started.  \nIslam came about with the prophet Muhammad around 1400 when he wrote the Koran.  And it has developed from there.\nThe people of God, the Jews are the source of the Bible and Jesus was born the Messiah and as you know died for our sins.  Jesus said a lot of very definite things about himself that left no room for any other way to get to God.  Muhammad recognises Jesus as a prophet, but says that the Bible is totally wrong, but does not have any writings of Jesus.  This leaves Jesus as a sort of silent Prophet for them.  They concentrate on Muhammad and sort of ignore Jesus and any writings of his.  The teaching of Muhammad and Jesus are directly opposite even as their lives were.  Jesus never married and was finally killed for our sins.  Muhammad had a number of wives and one was a 6 year old girl that he consummated at the age of 9.  Anyway Christianity and Islam are at opposite ends completely.\nThere are copies of the Koran on the net and you can read them, they say some pretty gruesome things.  The Muslim community is trying to white wash the Koran, but unless they decide to re-write it they can not deny what it says.  The peaceful ones ignore the violent passages and quote the non violent passages.  The violent ones quote the violent passages to justify killing everyone.  And the passages are in there.  The Christian is bound by love your enemy and do good to them that hate you.  Directly opposite.  I can give the scriptures but it will be much longer.

To be honest with you, as a muslim i think that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a messanger sent by God to man kind and that he was indeed a great man. but i would like to point out to you that Jesus never said that he had died, nor did he say that he was resurected, i know this information cause its from the Bible that i use to read when i was a christian. We believe that Muhammed (peace be upon him) is also a messanger sent by God, we believe that the since Muhammed was the last sent prophet that his words are more crediable, thats only to say that we as muslims believe that the bible was change many time by mankind to suit them, so God then send the final messanger to mankind to correct what has been changed.  As a muslim we believe the same as the christians that Jesus will return to earth before the day of judgement but we believe that he will refresh the faith and declare islam as the religion that he has always followed.If you look as some websites that are created by knowledgable muslim and not critics of islam you will find your answers. i hope this has help you in some way to understanding when muslims think about the prophet Jesus (peace be upon him)

Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect. \nNo other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows: \n\n"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' \nHe said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, \nHe says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.\n\n"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]\n\nDuring his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: \n\n"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]\n\nMuhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:\n\n"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]\n\nProphet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: \n"Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]

Jesus never claimed to be a prophet. He claimed to be God Incarnate and must be accepted or rejected on that basis. Mohammed cannot be a prophet of God because he was not born of the line of Jacob. The line of Ishmael was promised earthly kingdoms, not God's priesthood.

Not everyone believes in Jesus, people choose religions which are relevant to their lives.  Many people don't identify with Christianity, whereas the teachings of Mohammed seem to attract a lot of people.

One theme they both share.  It is the "big lie."  They both say that what they are doing is for the good of the country, but the results of their actions demonstrate something very different.  They both claimed to be Christians, but Jesus would puke observing their behavior.  They both like to pick  on brown people and do it with overwhelming force.  And they  both have ulterior motives, hidden behind their lie.

They are two different people.  Some think Jesus had an affair with Mary Magdalene.  Others think she may have been a prostitute. ANd, the other Mary is Jesus's mom.  She's the Virgin Mary.

it says that jesus was a prophet.and that his mother was virgin mary.but he did not burn on a cross.god(allah) made another man look like jesus and he sent the real jesus to the heavens.\n\nMuslims revere Jesus as a prophet, but not the Son of God\nMuslims honor and respect Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him and all of God's prophets).  Muslims believe that he was one in a long line of honorable prophets, who taught his people to worship and obey the One True Lord, the Creator.  The Qur'an describes him:\n\nHe [Jesus] was no more than a servant.We granted Our favor to him,and we made him an example to the Children of Israel....\n\nWhen Jesus came with clear signs, he said,"Now have I come to you with Wisdom,and in order to make clear to yousome of the points on which you dispute.Therefore, fear Allah and obey me.\n\nFor Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord,so worship Him.This is a Straight Way."\n\n(Qur'an:  Al-Zukhruf 43:59, 63-64)\n\nOf all the prophets, Jesus is probably the most written about in the Qur'an.  Various stories in the Islamic text talk about his miraculous birth, his ministry, his disciples, and the message that he brought to his people.  Muslims always speak of Jesus with respect, and "Issa" (the Arabic rendition of his name) is a common given name in the Muslim world.\n\nThe Qur'an makes it very clear that Jesus was a prophet, chosen by God to teach his people, but not associated with nor part of God Himself.  He performed miracles, by the grace and power of God alone.  He of himself could do nothing -- all of his glory pointed back to the One Almighty God.\n\nMuslims therefore reject the notion of the Trinity that is common in most Christian denominations today.  Islam adheres to a very strict monotheism, and considers such a theology to be idolatrous.\n\nAdditionally, Islam teaches that God is Merciful and forgives all sins, without the need for a Saviour or blood sacrifice of any kind.  Therefore, Muslims reject the idea that all of mankind is "saved" by any one creed or sacrifice.  In Islam, each person is judged mercifully by God, Who created us and knows our hearts and weaknesses.  While Muslims do not feel that their fate in the Hereafter is "guaranteed" (as many Christians would say), they do not despair -- for the Mercy of Allah is without measure.\n\nIn the end, Muslims believe that the message Jesus preached was one and the same as the message that all of the prophets brought to their people:  Worship Almighty God, and Him Alone.  Have faith, and live your life according to that faith.\n\nhttp://islam.about.com/cs/faith/a/bl_jesus.htm

The Jews believe in Jehovah but not in Christ or Mohammed.\nThe Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, but they follow the teaching of Mohammed.\nThe Christians believe in Jehovah and Christ, but believe Mohammed was not a prophet of God.\n\nThe God that the Jews and Christians worship does not call on them to kill or enslave those who don't believe as they do.  The Muslims believe that their god does call on them to do this.  I do not think the same God would have such contradictory teachings.  For this reason, I do not believe that the Muslims follow the same God as the Jews and Christians.

The Old Testament fortold of Jesus coming, and He did, and He fulfilled the law on behalf of sinful humanity. He died, was buried, and rose again, and said He would return to collect us. He taught His apostles to spread the word of His salvation, and that He alone was the way to God, because He Himself was God-in-the-flesh. \n\nWe believe that Mohammed was a false prophet who conquered people and brought them under His own favorite god, the moon god Allah. The Koran is completely His work, while the Bible is 66 books written by 40 prophets, kings and Apostles, who all agree. The Bible is coherent and expects to be the final revelation until Christ returns. Why? Because Jesus did all that was necessary. There isn't anything left to say or do. \n\nMohammed came along and borrowed a little from the Bible, a little from his culture, and pressured everyone to conform. Islam denies that God can come in the flesh, which is astonishing if you consider who you are talking about. God can do whatever He wants. And He did. Mohammed just denies what Jesus did, denies who the Bible says Jesus is, and does nothing for anyone's soul. \n\nThere are many false religions that claim to be the latest and greatest. I ask you. Who among their proponents have raised themselves from the dead? None. No, Jesus came, and Jesus will come again at the very end. In the interim, a lot of people will claim religious authority. Don't believe them. \n\n"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!" (HOLY BIBLE, Galatians 1:8-9).

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
