k Muslims belief Jesus is the messiah as it is said in the old testament but the old testament says the messiah would judge and the one who judges in all abrahamic religions is God. So my question is if Jesus being messiah could Judge would that not make him God or Do muslims belief the Part about the Messiah judging was changed by the Jews as they believe other verses were.

Thank you for asking me about my religion. Here is an answer to your question inshallah:
“First of all, let me briefly explain what are the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah on the Second Coming of Jesus.
Concerning Jesus Allah says in the Qur'an, “And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example, behold! the folk laugh out. And say: Are our gods better, or is he? They raise not the objection save for argument. Nay! but they are a contentious folk. He is nothing but a slave on whom We bestowed favor, and We made him a pattern for the Children of Israel.” (Az-Zukhruf: 57-60)
Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, quoted the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as saying: “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary (Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya (a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government). Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts.”
Then, Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 'Read if you wish, “There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.” (An-Nisaa’: 159)
Imam Muslim has reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “How (happy) will you be when the Son of Mary will come down among you and your Imam will be from amongst you.”
In another Hadith it is said: “A group of my Ummah will continue fighting for the truth and will be victorious until the Day of Resurrection. Then Jesus son of Mary will come down and their (Muslim's) leader will say, 'Come and lead our prayer', but he will say, 'No, you have your leaders among you. This is the honor of Allah for this Ummah." It is also reported by Imam Muslim that Jesus will fight the Dajjal (Antichrist) and will kill him at the gate of Ludd near the city of Jerusalem.
The Second Coming of Jesus is clearly established from the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah. We Muslims should not have any doubt about this matter. The Prophetic Hadiths make it very clear that:
1- Jesus will descend (yanzil) and will not be born. Thus any one who will be born and will grow up in front of the eyes of his contemporaries and then will claim that he is the Promised Masih, will be misusing these Hadiths and misleading the people.
2- Jesus' coming will be "a sign of the approaching Day of Judgment". If any one made a claim of being the Masih, while the portents of the Day of Judgment in which Jesus will appear did approach, neither in his life nor soon after him, then it is proved that he was a false pretender and not a true Messiah.
3- Jesus will not come to add or subtract anything from Islam. He will not claim himself to be a new Prophet or Messenger. He will not even lead a prayer of Muslims, he will follow in prayers the Ameer or Imam of Muslims. If any one claimed to be the Messiah and led the prayers of Muslims then that person, according to the Hadiths, will not be a true Masih.
4- Jesus will be a just judge. He will make right judgment between the truth and falsehood. He will break the cross, kill the pig and will remove the Jizyah. This means that he will correct the false doctrines and beliefs that are spread about him and about his teachings among his followers and many of them will follow him and thus the followers of the Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Jesus, peace and blessings be upon both of them, will be united into one Ummah and there will be no need for Jizyah.
5- Jesus will fight the Dajjal and will kill him near Jerusalem. He will not say that Qital or fighting is abolished and is not necessary any more.
We do not know when Jesus will come, but he will surely come. It is important to believe whatever Allah has said in the Qur'an, and whatever is explained in the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. May Allah keep us on the right path.”
Muslims do believe that Isa (A.S.) was sent down as a Prophet of Allah (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. Muslims do not believe that Isa (A.S.), also known as Jesus by Christians and others, is dead or was ever crucified. We believe that he was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world. We never said he will Judge... To be clear separate believers from non believers is not Judging ....

I think I would agree with you, since I believe Jesus is the Messiah, but I don't understand your argument at all!
Could you explain a little more?

no God is God, and has no partners and is not three or four or two, but is One, the Only One Muslims believe
And not all Muslims believe in the returning of Jesus,
God says all matters return to God and Jesus along with the other honored prophets will be those whom God questions for them to bear witness that they did try to lead the people they were assigned to, they will be honored and in Paridise

jesus is not god or the son of god.. 'son of god' arose out of a mistake in translation..paul translated the greek phrase ,'slave of god' which jesus often used and it had two meanings 'slave of god' OR 'child of god'..paul chose the latter..the jews did the same with ezra,saying he was the 'son of god'
