Muslims claim to revere Jesus but totally ignore his teachings.
If Jesus was only a prophet they why would he also be a liar when he says that he is the only begotten Son of God? Because he is NOT a lair, he IS the SON OF GOD.

Jesus is the same person which both the Quran and the Bible mention but he is seen as a prophet amongst Muslims and a son of God for some Christians and God Himself for other Christians.
Muslims worldwide believe that Jesus was a man but he was special because he was born to a virgin (Mary) and gifted with special powers but he was a man none the less. He was sent the Bible which was the word of God.
Christians believe that he was part-God or the human form of God and therefore he had special powers to bring life to the dead, etc.
This is the main dispute between the 2 religions. Both religions love and respect Jesus (Prophet Isa).

Muslims say Jesus was just a prophet. Not even Muhammad
was just a prophet. Like all prophets, they were spirits that had
advanced to higher levels, and came back to teach us. In different
times, cultures. And according to the Big Scheme of things.
Knowledge has been kept from us, because if we knew how
powerful we are as physical/spiritual beings. Along with our
nature to be jealous, envious, and wanting revenge. We would have destroyed ourselves by now.
But this is the HERE AND NOW. And God is opening our
minds. What we accept, and how use it. Will determine our
survival.

Jesus declared Himself the Son of God according to the scriptures.
Muslim's on the other hand call Him a Prophet which does not make any sense, he would have to be a lying prophet as he did declare Himself the son of God.
I believe Jesus is the Son of God, he was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, he bought us back by His own blood which was shed on the cross.
There is power in the Name of Jesus to save your soul, and there is power 'only' in the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse you from all sin.
Jesus said " I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me"
He is the way! The only way
He is the lover of your soul. But you have to first beleive in Him , that he was the Only Son of God, confess and repent of your sin, and you shall be saved.
Im not saying you will never sin again, but it will be under the covering of Christs blood, He will come and dwell within you by His Spirit, and empower you to live a Holy life. For it is His Grace which will follow you forever till death and unto life eternal. He is Faithful and True.
Hell is real, the same as Heaven is real.
Satan is real, just as Christ is real.
There has been a battle raging for the souls of men since the fall of Adam.
The greatest miracle is when someone accepts Christ as Lord of their life. The reason that this is the greatest miracle is because God can not make anyone do this, it is an act of your own will! God gave us all free will to choose Him or not
Healings and deliverances are all great miracles, but Christ is in control of these miracles.
There is a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun.
Christ is the answer, and always has and will be.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, Scripture decalres that every knee shall one day bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
I highly recomend Him, he is altogether lovely.
take care

The Abrahamic religions all follow a similar pattern.
Jews believe (i think) that David was the last prophet of God.
Christians believe that after David came Jesus (the messiah).
Muslims believe that after Jesus (pronounced essa in Arabic) came Mohammed who was the last prophet (messenger) of God.
Muslims don't believe that Mohammed or Jesus were the son of God, as God has no parents, no children, no equal etc. Christians believe he was the son of God and in the new testament of the bible they belive he was God (the trinity... father, son, holy spirit).
Each prophet brought with them new messages from God. Where they religions branch off is where they believe who was the last prophet.

it's right that christians called Jesus the son of GOD, and muslims called him a prophet, like it has been said in the quran...
but the right things is that there is only one GOD as the quran says:
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
wich means that he doesnt have a son or a daughter or a mother or a father he's one and the only one.
and it was said the same in the bible that there is only one god and that Jesus was a prophet and this was before they change and corrupte the bible in the past...

Yup, both Islam and Christianity have a special place for Jesus, it's just that the role they ascribe to him differs.
Actually there are some people who claim that:
1 Jesus went to India when he was young
2 Jesus went to India after his crucifixion
3 Jesus is also known in Buddhism circles
Some people even claim that his tomb in is modern-day Pakistan.
I find it almost tragic therefore that, as you can see from the answers, people focus on the differences rather than the similarities.
Why not say, yes he was a great being and is important to us. Rather than argue about what role exactly he had. Why not focus on the fact that his message is the same in the religions?

Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and many others is a 'Prophet' of God, in Quran. Jesus is 'God' which comes to the world, in Bible. God in Quran is Not Same with God in Bible.
If a moslem beleive "God" of Bible, he/she is Not a real Moslem,
(see Surah Al-Kafirun in Quran).
If a christian beleive "God" of Quran, he/she is Not a real Christian.
A people must beleive his religion 100%, and must think... his religion is TRUE, other religion is False.
We have a freedom to beleive a religion.

True Christians from Baptist to Pentecostal to Catholic believe that Jesus is God the 2nd person in the Holy Trinity.
Muslims based only on the word of Muhammad believe that Jesus was only a Prophet. a forerunner of Muhammad.
Thanks for asking.

Jesus is the SON OF GOD. He is far more then a mere prophet as the Muslims believe.
Jesus IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No man can enter Heaven except through Him.

Jesus is known as Isa in the Quran. Islam considers Isa as a great and beloved prophet who achieved his objective of moral and spiritual victory without the use of violence.
FYI....Buddhists and Muslims are close friends in Bhutan and Nepal. Hindus give both Muslims and Buddhists a hard time there.
Peace.
