You must not know, but according to the Bible, Jesus rose from the dead.
And, I've a question for you:
Since in Islam a prophet cannot lie, then why do Muslims call Jesus a liar when he claimed that he is the Son of God?
He must NOT have been lying, according to your own religion.
Also, Islam teaches that Jesus never died, but ascended to heaven.
Are you sure you're a Muslim?

God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ. Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged. Forever truly God, He became also truly man, Jesus the Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the righteousness and love of God. By His miracles He manifested God's power and was attested as God's promised Messiah. He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins and in our place, was raised from the dead, and ascended to minister in the heavenly sanctuary in our behalf. He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the restoration of all things. (John 1:1-3, 14; Col. 1:15-19; John 10:30; 14:9; Rom. 6:23; 2 Cor. 5:17-19; John 5:22; Luke 1:35; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 2:9-18; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; Heb. 8:1, 2; John 14:1-3.)

Moses gave instructions to Israel to shed the blood of a spotless lamb to provide a temporary atonement for their sin; and Jesus was the Lamb that God provided to make atonement for the sins of the world. Through faith in Jesus, you can have atonement with God. All your sin can be washed away—once and for all. God can grant you the gift of everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ on the basis of His death and resurrection.
The uniqueness of Jesus of Nazareth was that He claimed He had power on earth to forgive sins (Matthew 9:2–6). No other prophet of any of the great religions made this claim. Only Jesus can provide peace with God. This is why He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).
God commands sinners to repent and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, or they will perish. In your religion, you may have been told that the bible has been altered. Let me assure you that it has not been altered in any way. The Dead Sea Scrolls prove that God has preserved the Scriptures.
Want more proof? Check out the 100% accurate prophecies of Matthew 24, Luke 21, and 2 Timothy 3. These prophecies fulfilled prove that this is the Book of the Creator.
God bless you in your pursuit of the truth!

Those who follow the Christian faith believe that he was resurrected from the dead. They belive that because he is God, death could not hold him. They also believe that God is one God in three forms (or "persons"): The Creator, Jesus (God in human form so that humans might understand Him better) and the Holy Spirit (or Inspiration).
Those who follow the Muslim faith believe he was a prophet, but that there can be "no God but God". They believe that when Jesus was crucified he was not resurrected.
So the difference basically stems from different a priori assumptions about the nature of God.

You are right. Jesus is not Almighty God. He died but rose again. He himself admitted that (a) he has lesser powers compared w/ God, and (b) he his a worshipper of Almighty God.
In this sense, you are one step ahead of those hard-headed trinitarians.
But the title 'god' or 'God' (theos in Greek) can be applied to him because he did several miracles including raising up the dead. But, just as the title Doctor can be applied to one, does not necessarily mean that all Doctors have the same power. An ordinary doctor is of lesser power than the Surgeon General, for example.
The more accurate title for Jesus is "Son of God". Even some Muslims acknowledge that Jesus is greater than Mohammad. According to them, Jesus will do the judging--not Mohammad.

I agree.
He's not dead or is he god OR gods son.
Muslims believe he wasn't crucified.
In Islam, Jesus (known as Isa in Arabic, Arabic: عيسى), is considered one of God's most-beloved and important prophets and the Messiah.[70] Like Christian writings, the seventh-century Qur'an holds that Jesus was born without a biological father to the virgin Mary, by the will of God.
Similarly, Islamic belief also holds that Jesus could perform miracles, but only by the will of God. [72] However, Muslims do not believe Jesus to have divine nature as God nor as the Son of God.
Muslims also do not believe in Jesus' sacrificial role, nor do they believe that Jesus died on the cross. In fact, Islam does not accept any human sacrifice for sin (See Islamic conceptions of atonement for sin for further information). Regarding the crucifixion, the Qur'an states that Jesus' death was merely an illusion of God to deceive his enemies, and that Jesus ascended to heaven.

God had an only son named Jesus. He sent him down to earth form heaven to tell people about God. When the Roman Soldiers crucified Jesus, God let it happen as the path to forgiveness for our sins. As well, God also demonstrated his power over death in Jesus's resurrection three days after his death. So he is not dead. He is in heaven preparing a place for his followers.

jesus died...(for all man's sins) then rose on the third day. I believe that you are looking at the jesus being god thing all wrong. Allow me to break it down for you. You have an egg. it is made up of three parts. (yoke, white, shell) each part seperately is still an egg. but combined it is also an egg. Just like we have God the father, God the son, and God the holy ghost.

Jesus is not dead. The fact that He rose from the dead verifies everything He said about himself including his claim of divinity before the Sanhadrian.
As far as I know, only muslims believe He was only a prophet. If that were the case, then He would not have claimed divinity. In addition, if He were only a man, he would not have been a suitible sacrifice to pay the penalty of mankind's sin.

If u was reading the Bible u could have seen that Jesus was resurected from death as it was predicted by previous prophets and also by himself . This is the biggest proof that Jesus is God ,no other man came back from death ,only God have power over death . This truth is well hidden by ur Quran ,becouse islam is anti-christian religian ( is one of the antichrists)Islam dont want u to be saved by God ,and dont let u see this truth .

according to Christian beliefs this is because he is not dead at all. He rose from the dead on teh 3rd day. Thus making him very much alive. Also the verse "I am the resurection and the life" Making him God-like because he still is alive, although he died he rose.
That is according to Christian beliefs of course. Although I believe muslims see him as a prophet and this is probably why (they dont believe he rose from the dead)
