How can you consider Jesus to be a prophet of God but not follow His commands?

Question

Many say they believe Jesus is a prophet of God, or they respect Him, or even love Him and yet they do not consider Him to be Truth. You have to either believe He was not sent by God and was a blaspheming liar, or you have to believe He is what He said He is - the Son of God and the complete and utter Truth.

Answer 1

Jesus is not a prophet of God. Jesus is God. Our understanding of God's commandments is given to us through humans. Jesus told us that He did not come to abolish the Law. Jesus followed the Commandments and then gave us a better understanding of them when He told us another commandment - to love one another as I (God) have loved you.

Answer 2

He is the son of God Matt.3:16,17; 16:16,17; Heb.1:1-13;
He is first creation created by God in his image Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:14;
He is a prophet like unto Moses Acts 7:37; Deut.18:15;
Prophecy Matt.24:3-36,38; John 6:39,40,44; John 14:3; Revelations
He is the savior of the world John 3:16; 14:6,13,14,15,26,28; 16:23,26; Pray in Jesus name. Matt.6:9-13 [ The Lords Prayer ];
He will rule the world and make all things new Rev.20:1-6,12,13; Acts 17:31; 24:15; 2Pet.3:13l Rev.3:12; 21:1-5;
First and great commandment is to love the LORD thy God with whole being Matt.22:39-40;

Answer 3

Yes he is a prophet of God, but not God.
this is the reason Why God sent Muhammad. if you disagree ask the jews what they worship.
the jews don't even admit that jesus peace be upon him is a prophet.
We admit it and have to accept him, because you are not Muslim if you denie one of the prophets of God, all came for the same reason < worship God alone> from Adam to Muhammad, but the christians worship Jesus the prophet of God.
Jesus never died, he will comeback, God said it in the Quran, and Muhammad in the sunnah.
just take it easy, where is the original Bible with original language? I will not trust only the original Bible.
we believe in all the prophets and all the Books in their original forms

Answer 4

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and not a phrophet. He is the Word of God made in flesh to whom Mary gave birth to. Thats what makes Jesus unique from other prophets. Jesus was faultless and overcame death which makes Jesus even more special than any other individual sent from God. I believe Jesus is the Truth and we can only get to God through the Truth (Jesus).

Answer 5

I dont know who u r referring to particularly.but as a Muslim I personally acknowledge the fact that Jesus was a Prophet and Messenger of God.I love and respect him.but I do not believe that he was the son of God or anything comparable to God.And yes we follow the teachings of Jesus when we believe in the Oneness of God because this exactly was the message of Jesus.Just because the Muslims do not believe in the Christian version of Jesus does not mean that we do not follow Jesus because we follow Jesus in our own light.

Answer 6

I believe Jesus is the son of God not a prophet. He is the only way the truth and the life, no one can enter the kingdom of Heaven except in Jesus.

Answer 7

well i believe that jesus is a prophet sent by god , and that he still lives in paradise waiting for the end of days , and i follow jesus's teachings which are the exact same as islam's teachings , but i don't believe that he is the son of god or any thing like that , he is just a prophet to god , thats how islam said it , and that's how my mind accepted it ..
why would god need him self to deliver him self a message ?

Answer 8

first wanna tell you that I'm a muslim whom strongly believe in Jesus even more than christians do simply cause I know the real him,I know & believe he was sent by God, but not a God, He did not ever said that about himself, remeber , he did not write the bible , scriptures did and then their fellows changed lots of facts on it due to their own intersts,finally want to tell you that we don't only beleive in Jesus we honestly love him & as our prophet Muhammed PBUH said "if I knew that God have a son I'll be the first one to worrship him

Answer 9

Jesus is the Son of God, he is also calle Prince of Peace,Everlasting Father, Mighty god but not Almighty God....because he is the Son of God, God's qualities are in him.

Philippians 2:5 ...Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. 7 No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. 8 More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake. 9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Answer 10

yes we love him, and respect him, but we don't worship any one but GOD , ONE GOD, jesus , never say he is son or god, jesus (peace be upon him), like all prophets , was worshipping only one god, and that is the path of all prophets(peace be upon them all).

Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allâh and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob), and to Al-Asbât [the twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Mûsa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islâm)."Quran 2:136
