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

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.

In Qoran all prophets are named and accepted especially Jesus. There is a big section hailing Virgin Marie. All Muslims accept Jesus as a holy prophet & in no way detest or deny christianity.\n\nIn Islam they believe prophets are normal people gifted to guide people through. Therefore there is no son of god thing. Even Muhammad lived & died like a noble man. He was famous before becoming a prophet for his truthfulness & honesty & he was of a royal Arab family just like Jesus himself.\n\nWhat is it with which prophet is better or worse? We all worship the same god through different channels! With or without religion. Isn't the main aim of each religion love towards humanity???

No doubt about it. Since The Almighty is One. He alone has sent all these warners to humans who showed them the way to salvation. The only difference is that all except the last came to deliver the message, but Mohammad (SAW) came to fulfill the religion...... that is Islam

The Koran considers the Old Testament, and some of the New to be holy texts. It considers itself a religion that builds off of Judaism into something new. Jesus and Muhammad were not the same person. There are a few centuries between the establishment of Christianity and Islam.\n\nSo while both are Holy Texts based on the Abrahamic tradition, they aren't mirror images of each other.

Well, Jesus isn't immaginary.\n\nIf I was going to have an immaginary friend... I'd pick one who would make me laugh.  And provide air conditioning.

Me: Muslim\n\nJesus in Islam    \n\nThe Islamic view of Jesus (or, “Isa in Arabic, ;- peace be upon him) lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Isa (Jesus) as a Prophet, called him an imposter. The Christians, on the other hand, considered him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) to be one of the great Prophets of Allah and respects him as much as Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). This is in conformity with the Islamic view of the oneness of God (Allah), the oneness of Divine guidance, and the complementary role of the subsequent mission of Allah’s messengers. \n\nThe essence of Islam- willing submission to the will of Allah- was revealed to Adam ( - peace be upon him), who passed it on to his children. All the following revelations to Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim, Musa, Isa (Jesus), and, finally, Muhammad (peace be upon them all) are in conformity with that message, with some elaboration to define the relation between man and God, man and man, man and his en­vironment, and living according to Allah’s instructions. Thus, Islam views any contradictions among revealed religions as a man-made element introduced into these religions. The position of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) in the three major creeds- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam- is not an exception. \nMiraculous Birth\n\nAlthough the Qur'an does not present a detailed life-story of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ), it high­lights the important aspects of his birth, his mission, his ascension to heaven, and passes judgment on the Christian beliefs concerning him. The Qur'anic account of Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) starts with the conception of his mother, Maryam (Mary, peace be upon her), whose mother, the wife of Imran, vowed to dedicate her child to the service of God in the temple. When Maryam (Peace be upon her)  became a woman, the Holy Spirit (the angel Jibraîl ) appeared to her as a man bringing her the news of a son. We read the following dialogue in the Qur'an between Maryam (Peace be upon her)  and the angel: \n\nWhen the angels said: ‘O Mary! Allah gives thee glad tidings of a Word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, Peace be upon him son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah). \n\n  He will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he will be of the righteous.’ \n\nShe said: ‘My Lord! How can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?’ He said: ‘So (it will be). Allah creates what He will. If He decrees a thing, He says unto it only: “Be!” and it is.’  (Ali-Imran, 3:45-47) \n\nIn a chapter (surah) entitled “Maryam” (Mary), the Qur'an tells us how Maryam (Peace be upon her)  gave birth to her son, and how the Jews accused her when she brought the child home: \n\nThen she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: ‘O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing. O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a woman unchaste.’ \n\nThen she pointed to him. They said, ‘How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?’ \n\nHe spoke: ‘Lo! I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and has appointed me a Prophet; And has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms-giving so long as I live; And (has made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and has not made me arrogant, wicked. Peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!’ (Maryam, 19:27-33) \n\nIn the same chapter, following the above quotation, Allah assures Muhammad ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and through him the whole world, that what is told above is the TRUTH about Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ), although the Christians might not accept it. Isa (Jesus, Peace be upon him ) is NOT the “son of God”: he was, obviously enou

Living or Dead? Well never mind, it would still be Jesus, because he is still alive in millions of people hearts. I am not preaching religion, but its just a fact. More people have heard about Jesus than anyone else.

Jesus, son of Mary said ... 'I am indeed the Messenger of God to you, confirming the Torah that is before me and giving good tidings of a messenger who shall come after me whose name shall be Ahmad.'" (Sura 61:6). \n \nAhmed is a form of the name Mohammed, both meaning "the praised one". In the Greek tongue, this would be "periklytos". Now we find in John's Gospel, Chapter 14:16: \n\nI will pray the Father and He will give you another "parakletos", (Counsellor or comforter) to be with you for ever." \nOn the strength of the Qur'anic text,  This verse is a forgery perpetrated by ............ who intended thereby to camouflage the predicted coming of  the Prophet Mohammed, which is so obviously predicted in the above text. All manuscript texts of this Gospel of John, which contain the word 'parakletos' and not 'periklytos', date back to hundreds of years before the coming of Mohammed. Furthermore, the very next verse relates to us that the 'parakletos' \n\n"is the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You (the disciples of Jesus) know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you." \n\n"And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death and he said, 'The Lord came from Sinai and dawned from Mount Seir upon them; he shone forth from Mount Paran he came from ten thousands of holy ones: with flaming fire at his right hand. Yea, he loved His people; all those consecrated to him were in his hand: so they followed in thy feet, receiving direction from thee, when Moses commanded us a law, as a possession for the congregation of Jacob. Thus the Lord became King in Jeshurun when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together." (Deuteronomy 33:1-5). \n\nLord came from Sinai, he came through Moses; when he rose up from Seir, he came in Jesus; and when he shone forth from Mount Paran and came with ten thousands of saints, he came in Mohammed the seal of all prophets. \n\nMay God guide you on the right path, god has power over all things.

1: Jesus was not a Jew, he was a Muslim. so was a Muslim, just like any other prophet. \n2: there is no proof that Jesus was white and blue- eyed and i think that it is wrong and disrespectful for people to draw a picture of Jesus, even though, he was a prophet

Jesus (son of Mary)is the prophet of Islam revered and referenced as the Spirit of Allah, He never died but raised alive to heaven, will return before the day of judgment to lead Muslims and fight the hypocrites until the world is clean of all evil. He Muslim believe never said he was Son of God. He was a true Muslim, a believer and Guide for the humanity. Muhammad was a prophet of God only. Muslims never worship Muhammad or any other being except the Only God in Arabic-Allah.
