Question concerning Jews, Muslims and Christians?

Jews and Muslims both agree that the real “Jesus” was a human being and a prophet of God, and was not sacrificed as God in the flesh.

However (some) Christians believe Jesus died as God and as a sin offering. Out of a possibility who could be correct concerning Jesus' nature? Jews and Muslims or Christians?

    Jews do not believe Christ was a prophet.

    Rome was founded as a nation who believe in Gods and Goddesses which was considered a myth after it adopted Christianity as its official religion. Taking Paul and Constantine into considerations, the adoption of Christianity by Rome could only be traced on its growing and threatening growth in the Empire. With numbers they can no longer contain, some sort of falsified miracles was shown to convince that the adoption was sincere and this actually made Rome able to call the underground Jewish-Christ's followers to come out in the open and be counted.

    They may have found out that the threat were not really that great and so being believers of myth which they cannot truly get away from, they started to adopt some of the myths that claim Jesus to be more than a prophet known by Jews and Muslims. the influence may have come also from Egypt and Greece in some ways.

    The Jewish Christian who firmly believe that Jesus was only a prophet walked out and Rome began its campaign naming Antichrist to anyone who opposes the new teachings about Christ. That also made the beginning why Europe, formerly under Roman Empire,have so much hate against the Jews,

    As for which one is true, I guess you will know by this simple scenario I gave.

    No, Judaism does not say that. Jesus is *not* a prophet in Judaism. He doesn't play any role in Judaism at all, and never did.

    Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet.

    Judaism doesn't say anything about Jesus - it was a complete faith for thousands of years before Jesus was even born.

    'A' - the Romans killed Jesus, the Jews didn't have the power to kill anyone and also they didn't use the death penalty.

    Jesus was charged with SEDITION - that was a crime against *Rome*. Nothing to do with the Jews.

    He was crucified - a Roman method of killing, and one banned in Judaism. 2500 Jews were crucified by the Romans. Get your facts right.

    None of the above. God energy is looking for us to be true to ourselves & true to others around us ...and to dig in deeply to see how much we can make a difference. First by keeping ourselves moral & improved & second by extending that to every action of ours in the hope of making the world a better place. I'll be surprised if a Jewish person answers with any of those. In Judiasm God isn't primarily about judging us at all ... the concept of afterlife is an after thought, not a focus. It's about giving us ways to judge ourselves to improve. Judaism clearly says, love or sentiment without laws & guidance is not good. The key is compassion no matter how you feel about another....with laws & guidance to act well, pre-thought-out, rather than having to guess from your feelings. Since God isn't about blaming us for being human in the first place (with all the struggles it entails), then mercy isn't the central concept either. Though Judasim does describe God as merciful & loving, if we do stray & do poorly. This question hits on something that as a Jewish person in YA, I frequently find hard to explain.... how Judaism has a different orientation than other religions. Each religion has it's own, but for some reason people often project other's like Christianity onto Judaism.

    Your question uses the word "possibly." This means any one of the 3 religions could be correct or none of them are correct. There is absoluetly NO proof that Jesus existed as a human or anything else.

    Just a correction, both Jews and Muslims believe Jesus was a human being but only Muslims believe he's a messenger and a prophet of God.

    Allah Almight says in the Qur'an 19:27–29;

    “Then 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 harlot.

    Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?

    He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,

    And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,

    And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.

    Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!

    Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.

    It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.

    And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That is the right path.

    The sects among them differ: but woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day.

    See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are today in error manifest.

    And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.”

    61:6. “And when Isa son of Marium [Jesus son of Mary] said: O children of Israel! surely I am the apostle of Allah to you, verifying that which is before me of the Taurat and giving the good news of an Apostle who will come after me, his name being Ahmad [Muhammad], but when he came to them with clear arguments they said: This is clear magic.”

    Jews think that Jesus was a suicidal wana be.

    Christians think he fulfilled a TON of prophecy to a tee and there is a strange haze over people that causes them to ignore it.

    Muslims see him as a prophet that was the opening act for Mohammad. even though Mohammad died rich and fat and beat people into submission.
