Why do other religions, other than Christianity, acknowlege the life of Jesus Christ and consider him a prophet? By definition, the word prophet means a person who speaks the will of God. Jesus spent his life teaching his followers that he is the Son of God, "the way, the truth, and the light." Why would followers of other faiths believe him to be a prophet, even though they don't believe he was who he said he was? Isn't that contradictory? The theory that God sent a prophet to the world to virtually lie to his people makes absolutely no sense. In the words of Jesus, as quoted from the KJV, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent," John 17:3. This is not a debate. I truly do not know the answers! Call it curiosity, but this has puzzled my mind for years. Thanks to anyone w/ the answers.
