What the Christians say about all other prophets that God sent for humans.
Why is it Jesus is so unique that no other prophets since Adam had become one like Jesus. Do Christians aware that Moses spoke directly with God the time he received Torat? But Moses is not God.
Why should Jesus be a God in the form of human?

In Torat, is was told that a prophet will be sent by God to humans from the arab race that is Muhammad.
In Injil too, it was told about the coming prophet after Jesus (Issa in Arabic) that is Muhammad.

Can Christians agree with this ; the Holy Spirit that came to Mary before she got pregnant was Gabriel.

Jesus Christ: The Son of God
John 1:1-2; 10:27-30
Have you ever heard someone deny that Jesus claimed to be God? Such a statement simply doesn’t make sense. Repeatedly, Jesus placed Himself on equal footing with the Father and the Holy Spirit (John 10:30; 14:6-14). Scripture gives us a clear picture of His eternal, intimate relationship with the heavenly Father.
Why is it important for us to believe this? Jesus did something that had never been done before: He enabled men and women to see God in a new way. In Colossians 1:15, Paul explains that Jesus is the “image of the invisible God.” No one has ever looked upon the face of the Almighty.
In the Old Testament, some people were confronted with God. But they were never able to look fully upon His glory. For example, even Moses, who is described as God’s friend (Exodus 33:11), could not look directly at God. At best, Moses had the opportunity to look upon “God’s back” as He passed by. But, he never saw His face (Exodus 33:18-23).
Jesus, however, came to bridge the gap between God’s glory and mankind’s sinful nature. In the original Greek text, the word for “image” is directly related to the English word “icon.” Just as an icon on your computer screen directs you to the main program, Jesus directs believers to the fullness of God’s glory.
As the “icon,” Jesus is the exact, flawless replica of God. For that reason, Jesus could say, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). What has Jesus taught you about the Father?
.They probably belongs to one of these cults that deny the trinity. But
YES, it is in the Old Testament. Genesis 1:1: In the beginning, Elohim created. That is not Yahweh, Elohim is a plurality, meaning more than one. Just like Cherubim and Seraphim, angels. Anything that ends in “im” is more than one.
Now, we know that God the Father was there, and you believed that. But in Genesis 1:2, the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the waters. Then in Proverbs 30:4, it says, who hath created all the ends of the earth? Who hath created the world? What is God's name and what is His Son's name? That’s not the New Testament, that’s the Hebrew Scriptures. In Isaiah 9:6-7, it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son? The "Mighty God" in the next verse.
God is Spirit. [ John.4:24] Jehovah The only True God.
I and the Father are ONE. [Matt. 12:18] Jesus: Is God through the Spirit.
Pour forth My Spirit [Acts.2 17} [Acts.2:38] The Holy Spirit. Sent to men through Jesus by Jehovah God.
The only way too the Father is through the Son by being baptized in Christ and recieve the Holy Spirit.
This is God's Word. God said it. End of Story. You are saved by belief and Faith. You have it, or, you don't have it.

He never claimed to God. I've noticed a lot of answers that use the chapter 14 of John to prove that He did when He said they were in union with each other. However, if u continue reading, He also says that if the diciples love Him and observe His commandments , then they will be in union with Him and the Father. Then at verse 28 , He says that " the Father is greater than I am.' So this means that they're working together for the same purpose, the same team, theyr'e as close as family.
Your right about Jesus also being a prophet. What separated him from the others, was his glorious position before he humbled himself and came down to redeem mankind as a perfect sacrifice for his Father. Phillipians 2; 5- 11

Because Jesus was and is the only Son of God. God used people like Moses in a great way to further His word and guide His people but God sent His only Son - Jesus Christ - to save the sins of the world. He is not just a great prophet as many would like to claim. He is the one and only Son of God - alive and well and sitting at the right hand of the Father in heaven making intercession for us.

I don't consider Adam as a prophet. A prophet is the one that receives the word of God and executes his will. moses was a prophet. Jesus in some way was a prophet too. Being a prophet it's not that important, God could talk and choose to make his will any of his children.

Jesus himself claimed to be the only way to the Father. He also said that He and the Father were one.
Jesus cannot be just a good man or a prophet. He was either telling the truth and He is who he said he is (God) or he is a liar or a madman. Only one of these answers will suffice.
I choose Him to be Lord.
Yes God spoke with other prophets but they were not the promised Messiah. Jesus was.

I dont think jesus is God. He is the son of God. Not a prophet, like moses or mohammed if thats what your getting at. He is what we strive to be as christians, a good soul, a child of god. We are all children of God. But we beleive he was sent by God to earth as a man to teach us the new testaments lessons.

Jesus is the son of God, he was born to a human woman on earth, through emaculate conception. Meaning, the Holy Spirit came down, surrounded Mary and she became pregnant, she gave birth to Jesus. When he grew up he was "All man-ALL God" Christians believe in the Trinity> The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit = God,Jesus,Holy Spirit

According to Christian orthodoxy, Jesus is the incarnation of God in the world. The early Christian church spent 250 years coming to this conclusion, and even then not everyone agreed, but that's the majority decision. In order to determine this, Christians came to understand that there are three primary aspects of the one God, known as "persons". Many monotheists reject this as an unworkable complication, and even the believers call it a "mystery", but believe it they do.
In primitive Christianity, some believed Jesus received his divinity at his baptism but they later determined that he had to have pre-existed as God. One God, but three persons. This isn't a matter for debate and reason. Sincere people of faith must simple disagree. Hopefully if they can't agree on theology, they can at least agree on how to do good in the world.

Those who know for a fact that Jesus and God are one speak to God and know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. It is a test to filter out false prophets, i do not hate my muslim brothers but there is only one way, that is why few will be saved.
I must speak the truth, i must do as i am commanded, Jesus is lord and my commander.
Speak to Jesus, ask him and he will answer, want the truth, then come with a willing heart to him tonight. Ask him his will be done and not your own, tell him you desire the truth and it will be so.
