Question for the Muslims and Jews (Jesus as a Prophet)? This is a serious question. I really want to know.?

I have heard that when you convert to being a Muslim you must confess that Jesus was a prophet, is this true?

I know Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah but what about as a prophet?

Please explain how your religions view Jesus and his teachings.

    Jesus(pbuh) is a highly respected Prophet in Islam.

    10 brief points Christians

    should know about Muslims and Jesus

    By Sound Vision Staff Writer

    1. Muslims love Jesus. We also love Abraham, Moses, and Noah, to name just a few other Prophets Muslims revere. May God's peace be upon all of these great messengers of God.

    2. Muslims also love the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. We believe she was a pious and noble woman chosen over all of the women of the world.

    3. Muslims believe that Jesus was born miraculously of a virgin mother and no father. His birth is miraculous like the birth of Adam, the first human being, who was created with neither mother nor father.

    4. Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. God is so powerful and self-sufficient that He does not need a son or any kind of partner.

    5. In Arabic Bible the name for God is Allah. Therefore all Arab Christian call God Allah as Muslim do as well.

    6. Jesus did not die on the cross. Rather, God saved him as his enemies were confused about him. Jesus was taken up by God to Heaven.

    7. Jesus is called Isa (pronounced Eesa) in Arabic.

    8. Jesus performed miracles by the Will of God, like healing the blind and those with leprosy.

    9. Jesus prayed to the same God as all Prophets and we pray to.

    10. Jesus will return before the end of the world.

    Judaism does not recognize Jesus as a prophet, and he certainly did not qualify as the Messiah.

    esus was not a prophet. Prophecy can only exist in Israel when the land is inhabited by a majority of world Jewry. During the time of Ezra (circa 300 BCE), when the majority of Jews refused to move from Babylon to Israel, prophecy ended upon the death of the last prophets -- Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.

    Jesus appeared on the scene approximately 350 years after prophecy had ended.

    Jesus was no more a prophet than I am.

    Besides that KRISHNA and HORUS are from at least 500 yrs before jesus and they used an identicle set of principles to define their "god like status" along with a variety of ethnobotanicals and entheogens to produce higher consciousness. I suggest you do some more reading regarding faith as only one book can lead you down a dangerous path of eternal sorry *** behaviour.

    The jews certainly got the best part of that book, at least the majority have an open mind as to the relationship between earth and the rest of the cosmos. I have much more general RESPECT FOR JUDHAISM. They have some great teachings.

    Muslim theology and practice im not to familiar with but I feel it is a generally more "spiritual experience" with a strict doctrine of faith by comparrison to christianity. Most catholics ect wouldnt die for the world let alone just one day of freedom for their brethren being slaughted by catholic/christian warfare under the guise "war on terror".

    well you got the Muslim answer

    Jews see Jesus as a historical character that really dose not have significance to Judaism at all. He is not seen as a Prophet or even a respected teacher. Just another guy.

    Yes, we believe Jesus was a great prophet of God.

    We believe he was born from a miraculous birth to the Virgin Mary. He spoke in the crib and healed the sick. He is the Messiah and will return to earth to slay the (Dajjal) Antichrist.

    That's an anti-Semitic fantasy I have not heard but. Muhammad led his military and attacked the Jews whilst they had been on their solution to paintings on their date hands. Khaibar used to be a cost defended through a quantity of forts unfold aside from every different. One through one, Muhammad's military took the forts. Finally, the final few surrendered to him. In traditional Muslim type, Muhammad had a number of of the leaders of the Jewish cost beheaded. In March 632, Muhammad led the pilgrimage referred to as the Hajj. On returning to Medina he fell in poor health and died after a couple of days, on June eight. .

    Nothing Jesus taught was new. Ben Sirach taught it 500 years before Jesus was born. Jesus was at best a rabbi and at worst a pawn in staging the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the human race, and the longest lasting.

    I mean, who else has been able to make polytheism look like monotheism besides the Romans and Greeks? Gotta' admire that kind of motzi.

    Source(s): Jewish and lovin' it.

    when one becomes a muslim, he says "There is no deity but Allah and Muhammad ( peace be upon him) is His prophet"

    Muslims have to believe in all the prophets Allah sent to benefit mankind.
