JESUS IS HONORED IN ISLAM THAN IN CHRISTIANITY
1. Jesus was born of a virgin (Qur'an 19:20-22) and Mary her mother is an honored woman but christians claimed Mary married Joseph but had something with God to conceive Jesus
2. Jesus was faultless (Qur'an 19:19) but Galatians 3:13 says he was a curse
3. Jesus was a great healer of the sick through God's permission (Qur'an 3:49; 5:110). It's a miracle that God granted to him and he confirmed in the bible in Matthew 12:28, Luke 11:20
4. Jesus is Sign from God to people (Qur'an 19:21; 21:91) as he was born without an earthly father, Adam created without an earthly father and mother, etc
5. Jesus is a Mercy from God (Qur'an 19:21) but in the bible, he is war and to destabilizes the world, Luke 12:49
6. Jesus is a Witness against those worshipping him on the Day of Resurrection (Qur'an 5:117) as he said in Matthew 7:21-23
7. Jesus created and gave life with God's power and permission (Qur'an 3:49). John 5:30
8. Jesus is the Messiah deby by God only to the children of Israel (Qur'an 4:171)
9. Jesus is the Word of God (Kalamul Allah) (Qur'an 4:171) meaning the command or word of God "Be" and he was conceived without any male intervention.
10. Jesus was taken to heaven by God (Qur'an 4:158) and he will come back to warn all those worshipping him.
11. Jesus will come back again (Qur'an 3:45; 43:61) and will destroy the cross, warn the christians worshipping him.
Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh).
We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (SWT).
We believe that he was born miraculously without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe.
We believe that He gave life to the dead with God's permission.
We believe that He healed those born blind, and the lepers with God's permission.
One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians' insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ. A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, “I am God” or where he says, “worship me”. In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. Consider the following statements in the Bible, attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):
“My Father is Greater than I” (John 14:28)
“My Father is Greater than all” (John 10:29)
“…I cast out devils by the spirit of God….” (Mathew 12:28)
“…. with the finger of God cast out devils..…” (Luke 11:20)
“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge; and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father, which hath sent me.” John 5:30
The mission of Jesus Christ (pbuh) — he came to fulfill the Law:
Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity for himself. He clearly announced the nature of his mission. Jesus (pbuh) was sent by God to confirm the previous Judaic law. This is clearly evident in the following statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in the Gospel of Mathew:
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. (The BibIe, Mathew 5: 17-20)
