I also want you to interpret the Bible verses below and they're not ambiguous.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Luke 9:35 - And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

Sir please what’s the position of a father and son in ethical reasoning, if I’m created in the image of my father that makes me what? He is a Son of God and he is still going, no one goes through the father without him sir
John 10: 38 has answer all your questions.
1. Is Mohammed a messenger or a prophet? And did 2. Allah spoke to Mohammed anytime in your Koran

I'm fed up with all these tussles and dramas related to religion.. Religion has brought nothing else apart from disunity, hatred and ignorance..

That's why I do all I can to stay away from it.

Religion is even more dangerous in a clime like ours where ignorance is much stronger than our cultures.

Until we start deemphasizing religion, and not putting it above humanity, only then would we appreciate how much problems it is causing us.

Pls tell me the name of the Bible app u just displayed....I love it! I want to download same pls!

. Search for bible versions on playstore. There are many there but you have to search for the right one

what the verse means is that the miraculous birth of Jesus doesn't make him God or have any share in divinity. he is just like prophet Adam and every other creation of Allah.. created from dust..

Even Muhammad is just a prophet and a messenger of God, just like Jesus Christ..
they are practically brothers in carrying out the wish of their LORD (God/Allah).

according to Qur'an, Jesus did so many miracles.
even some miracles he did are not recorded in Bible.

Jesus talked when he was a baby in the cradle.
he moulded a clay bird and give it a life.
Jesus has the ability to reveal to you what you eat, and what you store at home
he requested a meal to be sent from heaven.
but according to our understand, he is only able to do all this miracle because Allah/God gave him permission..
without Allah's/God's permission, the miracle wouldn't have been successful..
Allah gave every prophet unique ability.. Jesus own ability is miracle performing ability.

Muhammad (saw) gave vivid discscription of Jesus and john the Baptist.. he told us how holy Jesus was. and how John the Baptist never commit a sin all his life.

Jesus and Mohammad are brothers sent by their Lord..
both of them are not God but a mere prophet.

both of them are just like every other prophet.

its only Allah/God who is supreme and has power over all things.
Jesus and Muhammad has no power on their own apart from the power given to them by the only supreme being.. Allah/God

First of all, I responded to your comment to me and then asked you some questions but you deliberately choose to pretend not to have seen my questions to you and respond just like I did but opted to ask me a question without bothering to answer mine.

It doesn't work that way.

Secondly, I never told you I was a Muslim nor practice Islam, therefore I'm lost at sea with all these your comment about "Koran" or are you mistaking me for some other person in here?

Kobojunkie:
1. So you reject the definition of blasphemy given you by Jesus Christ in order that you may follow after your own redefinition of the Word itself?

Since Jesus Christ said those who belong to Him are those who continuously submit to and obey His teachings (and commandments) - Iohn 14 vs 15 - 25 - doesn't this invariably mean you lie when you claim you belong to Jesus Christ then?

2. Yet this same Jesus Christ confessed that He was the prophet spoken of in Deuteronomy 18 vs 14 - 19. So are you here suggesting Jesus Christ lied?,

3. Jesus Christ's own disciples and many of the first Christians were hunted down and killed for their belief, so what are you afraid of?

1. Lord Jesus did not speak English. Blasphemy is an English word. I showed you the definition.

2. Where did He confess that?

3. Meaning what? Who said I'm afraid?

SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS RAVAGING THE WORLD AT PRESENT.
God Said : There will come a time when mankind will love five things and forget five things.*

1. They will love the enjoyment of this world and forget the day of judgement.

2. They will love money and forget the day of accountability of how they acquired and spend the money.

3. They will fear things that are created and forget the creator.

4. They will love beautiful mansions and forget their grave.

5. They will love sins and forget to seek for God's forgiveness.

Come to think of this?.......

1. Eternal life = free
2. Church entrance = free
3. Christ's salvation = free
4. God's love = free
5. Breath of life = free

A. Cigarette = pay
B. Prostitution = pay
C. Alcohol =pay
D. Nightclub entrance fee= pay
E. Powers to rule the world = pay

Then why are people paying for hell while PARADISE is free?
Think twice
Believe in Christ and you shall be saved..

Christmas day
Independence day
Boxing day,

That day,
Day in Day out.

Have you ever thought of DEATH DAY and Judgement Day? Is it going to be a day of celebration or condemnation for you ?

If you’re safe, what about your friends & loved ones. Show them love by telling them about the DEATH DAY and Judgement Day.

Please pass this to any group let heaven be happy for you today. Please don't say later, do it now because tomorrow may be too late.

25 Then Jesus said to the two men, “You are foolish and slow to realize what is true. You should believe everything the prophets said.
26 The prophets said the Messiah must suffer these things before he begins his time of glory.” 27 Then he began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. He started with the books of Moses and then he talked about what the prophets had said about him(Jesus Christ). - Luke 24 vs 25 - 27

Also see John 5 vs 46

45 Don’t think that I will be the one to stand before the Father and accuse you. Moses is the one to accuse you. And he is the one you hoped would save you.
46 If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
47 But you don’t believe what he wrote, so you can’t believe what I say.” - John 5 vs 45 - 47

SARSCoV2:
Seems I am getting confused at this point.

Is Jesus not a prophet?

THE TRUTH IS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS MORE THAN A PROPHET
ITS A MYSTERY SOME STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO EQUATE MAN WITH GOD BUT THE TRUTH OF THE THE EVENT WAS FORETOLD BEFORE NOW EVEN MANY YEARS BEFORE ITS MANIFESTATION
ITS WAS SAID GOD IN MAN IS COMING TO RECONSILE MAN WITH GOD CAUSE ALL HAVE SIN AND THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH SINCE IT HAS BEEN TRIED THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS IN HISTORY TO SAVE MAN FROM THIS DEATH HAS PROVED NOT TO WORK THEN HE HAS TO COME BY HIMSELF IN FORM JESUS
PLS READ JOHN 1:1 THE TRUTH IS REVEALED THERE
SO OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS JUST TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH THAT HE HAS COME TO SAVE AND HIM THAT THAT HAS BRING THE MESSAGE OF PEACE AND RECONCILIATION

My own opinion, i agree with the Muslim that Mohammed was a prophet and Allah is god because the Bible has made us to understand that man from the ancient of time made themselves god and worshipped the god they made.
So allah is a man made god and Muhammad is a prophet of that man made god.

muzeze77:
Read the bible, he was sent ,he is a messenger of God

Matthew 10:40

“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

John 5:30
“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

John 7:33
Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.

The man has made it clear he was sent (Said this 21 times) , why are you stubborn to think he is God

If you agree with prophet Muhammad for what he called himself,, agree also with Christ for whom he called himself.

He is God. Nobody compel anyone to choose lesser. Choose your identity wisely, you may not have a second chance at it.

thesicilian:

What are you waiting for?

I have read many People's comments here including #KoboJumbo but to be sincere I expected better for him.

What I want to let you know is that Jesus is more than a Prophet. But if you call him a prophet you are not wrong and neither are you entirely right.

According to Jesus, "John the Baptist is the Greatest Prophet ever.". Now assuming Jesus was an ordinary prophet just like John, Elijah, Elisha etc... He will probably had said he was the greatest Prophet or he won't have said anything to that effect.

But Jesus knew he wasn't a prophet that's why he named John the Greatest prophet.
Remember, even John proclaim Jesus is greater than him cause Jesus came before him. So if Jesus was only a Prophet, it will make sense that John should be greater than Jesus since even Jesus himself said John was the greatest prophet.

Secondly, Yes, Jesus is indeed a Messenger from God. Jesus being a messenger from God doesn't mean he isn't the Son of God.

For eg, I'm the Son of My Father but if my Father send me to or deliver a message to Me Peter, doesn't that make me a messenger ? Even though I'm my Father's Son. That is Jesus case here.

Now I'll explain something to you. ... In one of Jesus Parable, he talks about a Man who lease out his vineyard ... Then when the time for harvest came he sent his servants to collect, but those servants were killed. Some beaten and disgrace. Till he sent his Son then the People said, 'This is the heir, let's kill him and everything will be ours' and so, they killed him.

Now if you understand that verse or parable very well... You will see that the Harvest is the people of Isreal. The men told or given the vineyard to till are the scribes, religious leaders etc. The Servants are the Prophets and we know some of them Isreal killed, some Isreal disgrace etc. Then the Son is Jesus Christ who as we know was Crucified on the cross.

What I'm trying to say is that if Jesus was only a Prophet, I'm pretty sure he would have joined himself with the servants that was sent. But instead he distinguishes himself by not adding himself to the servants(Prophet mix).

Nevertheless, just like those Servants ( Prophets) he himself is a messenger because he was sent by his Father with a message to the people.

If you want to know who Jesus truly is, look at his parable. Try to understand what they mean.


Now let's also go forward to say, at no time ever is Jesus Christ God almighty... Jesus is a Son of God only. And just like a son of a Lion is a Lion that's how Jesus is God but he isn't comparable to God Almighty.
Check the book of Revelation to understand more. For eg, Jesus uses the attribute of God in numerous places there. Even called himself Alpha and Omega. They're numerous places in the book of Revelation that emphasize the difference between Jesus and God.

But one thing is sure, Jesus is not just a prophet.

For instance when he asked the Disciples who do people say I am? They gave varying answers. Including a Prophet. If Jesus was a prophet, he would have told them, they're right he is just a prophet but no, he didn't until Simon Peter was divinely inspired to say 'He is Christ, the Son of the Living God's

Know this, no prophet ever has been called the First born of all Creations. No prophet ever have been spoken of in Micah 5:2. That was God talking about Jesus.

One of King David's Revelation to about Jesus tells us that.

In essence, as much as Jesus is the son of God, he is also a messenger from God.

Jesus is Son of God
He is King
He is Prince of Peace.
He is a teacher
He is a Prophet
He is everything roll into one.... reason why John the Baptist (The greatest Prophet ever) said Jesus was Greater than him.

You getting it all wrong
1: The Living God is different from Allah
2: Allah has no proof or sign of being God
3: Allah is an idea of man and that makes allah
an idol
4: Jesus Christ is a Prophet and also God
The WORD manifested into flesh and dwells
among us. The WORD was with GOD and
the WORD was GOD.
5: Every Prophet from God comes with a
Vindication of the attribute of GOD but
Mohammed came with no vindication
6: Mohammed lied for saying John the Baptist
never committed Sin all his life, John the
Baptist Dishonored God, he Doubted God
For sending his disciples to come and asked
Christ if truly he was the Messiah or not
When in his presence heaven open and a
Voice spoke and a dove descend into the
body of Christ.

Most of the things we called sin are not really sin per say but an attribute of sin, the original sin is unbelieve, doubt. Doubting God's word is the original sin and that was what eve did.

If he wasn't why then did he tell Simon Peter who called him the Son of God that it was God that revealed that to him.

[quote author=Mickykarim post=112908148]Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ has neither mandated nor asked anyone to fight for him nd or on his behalf. We are unlike the sect and religion that fights for its prophet. We are not zealots like in the islamic religion. The REBUKE of Peter by the Saviour when he struck a soldier that had come for him was instructive and indicative of our we treat our enemies.

OUR ESTEEM FAITH PREVENTS AND BAR US FROM DRAWING SWORD AND OR RAISE OUR FINGER AGAINST OUR ADVERSARIES.

Pastor whatever Jesus Christ did not teach you to classify any statement or action against him as blasphemy. Go read your Bible before you defend out faith. You have not represented the vineyard appropriately. Desist from giving the Christian house a bad name. We are not like the the people in the next house. Our own God can fight his fight and defend himself properly and better than anyone could.

@Muslims
And many Christians hope you understood? You can ask more questions.too.

I would have loved to educate you on somethings, but I am a little occupied now just took a little break to surf nairaland.

Now, there is Nabiyy ( Prophet) and Rasul ( Messenger).

All messengers are prophets but not all prophets are messangers. In essence, Messangers have a higher rank with God than those who are prophets only.

Prophets are people sent by God to guide people back to law when humans are going astray. Their teachings is based on the law of a messenger who had preceded them.

Messengers on the other hand are sent with new laws and teachings by God to people. They usually come with a law giving to them by God.

John, Zechariah, Joseph, Aaron etc are prophets.

Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad SAW are messengers. Note that I am not saying these 6 are the only messengers. There are other messengers.

In summary, Any prophet that is giving a scripture or a new law with whom he judges between people is a messanger.

Messengers are superior to prophets.

Hence Jesus a messenger and prophet is superior to John who is a prophet only Peace be upon them all.

ifiokjohn:

Good question actually!

1. John the Baptist was, according to Jesus Christ, the greatest Old Covenant Prophets, and rightly so. However, Jesus Christ was not an Old Covenant Prophet like John, and Moses, and all those in-between, this since His message and that which He embodied is God's New Covenant and Law in the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom which He is ruler over.

2. If you refuse to accept Jesus Christ as a Prophet, then what you do is accuse God of lying in Deuteronomy 18 vs 14 - 17.

14 “You will force the other nations out of your land. They listen to people who use magic and try to tell the future. But the Lord your God will not let you do these things. 
15 The Lord your God will send to you a prophet. This prophet will come from among your own people, and he will be like me. You must listen to him. 
16 God will send you this prophet because that is what you asked him to do. When you were gathered together at Mount Horeb, you became frightened and said, ‘Don’t let us hear the voice of the Lord our God again! Don’t let us see that great fire or we will die!’

17 “The Lord said to me, ‘What they ask for is good. 
18 I will send them a prophet like you. This prophet will be one of their own people. I will tell him what he must say, and he will tell the people everything I command. 
19  This prophet will speak for me, and I will punish anyone who refuses to listen to my commands.’ - Deuteronomy 18 vs 14 -19

So, it is true, just as Jesus Christ Himself said, that He is the prophet spoken of by Moses.
