Why don't Christians believe Jesus was a messenger of God ?
2006-12-01 02:48:09 · update #1
It depend of which faith you are.
If you are a Christian you are taught that Jesus is the messiah.
While if you Muslim Jesus is then a messenger who came before Mohamed.
Both faiths have truth in them, and both believe in the same God. Just a different way of approaching Him.
In the Bible it also Says The:' In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”- John 1:1-2, 14
This is the Text that Christians use to show that Jesus was the Son of God. Like all religions it is a hard thing to understand. But if you believe in God then you have to trust him to guide you and show you what he wants you to learn.
I hope that this is of assistance to you & may God/Allah bless you in your endevours.

By the way I am a Christian, but at the same time I love to learn about other peoples faiths and what they believe.
So Peace be on you.....or Ssalamu 'lekum & lla yhennik

It is obvious that your biased towards Islam, So are many Christian's inturn biased about their own beliefs, all three religions do not stand up to the scrutiny of science and rationalisation.
There exists many versions of Christianity, like most religions the Bible was written over a hundred years after Jesus's death. yet Jesus lived five hundred years before Mohammed, so the idea of Jesus's character described in the Muslim world, cannot be considered any more accurate than the Christian orthodox churches accounts.
If there is a nearer accurate rendition of Jesus's mission, it would have to be the oldest material available, which happens to be the Gospels of Thomas, and the Gospels of Judas, which sound Gnostic Jewish in style.
Some Christians have thought that Jesus was a teacher a prophet, but consider the "Son of God" label a little embarrassing for its decidedly medieval theatrical-ness.
Others have even considered that he may not have existed, but is a weaving of tales of different people through the Jewish nations history and that of Pagan Europe.
There are many prophets in history, and many religions. It could be the case that both the Bible and the Qumran are based upon inaccurate facts, as we would call them "Urban legends" becoming evermore magnifyed yet blurred in vision over the following centuries.
The fact why Christians don't except Islam is because they do not believe that your religion is correct.
It might hurt, but really this a lesson to learn in humily, for only a fool believes he can drag a horse to water, then make it drink if the horse isn't thirsty.
If Islam is a divine religion then I would expect vast influxes of converts, what little influx comes that way is radicalised and politicalised. I'm afraid that Islam's image as a religion due to past present and sadly future events, has suffered and will continue to suffer from suspicion, mistrust and open hostlity. The more you try to make people understand, the more you'll turn them away.
Different religions and beliefs are here for a very good reason, to express their love of God or truth, Wisdom, within their own culture, and personal connection with the deity or Wisdom.
The world needs balance, as we need light and day, the world has no need for tyranny and dogmatism.
I say that no man, king or self profest prophet, should hover like as a shadow over another man or womans spirituality, or should ever stand between the divines love for the vunerable mortal humanbeing.
Islams future lies in compassion not Jihad, but taking its place alongside the rest of humanity.

Jesus was a prophet and a messenger who came to show man that life after death existed and therefore God or Allah loves all humanity.
Although I do consider myself a Christian, since I try to live by Jesus's example. I think he is the son of God, but within the context of we are all children of God, I think the Quran is right in that regard. .
I don't beleive in the virgin birth - I think his conception was natural. What does the Qu'ran say in that regard?

I think the Bible and the Quran are just the same book translated differently. God/Allah, told one person over there "I am God/Allah" then He told another person over there "I am God/Allah" and both the people He told spread the word quite happily until they met in the middle and because of the amount of times the story was changed they both sounded different and started arguing over who was right.
In my opinion there is one God, and I don't think He minds if we call Him God or Allah or Jehovah or what as long as we try to live by his rules.

I have never understood how anyone can actually think that G-d came to earth in human form. I was raised a Christian, and it always was a sore point with me. Later, I converted to Judaism.
G-d is G-d. There is no G-d but G-d. I just do not understand how people can believe otherwise.
This concept of the trinity did not come into being until the Nicea Council made it up----300 years after Jesus.

Are you severe? The bible is God's be conscious or maybe though and once you're asserting "properly do no longer purely study that reason it won't make experience study the coed's writing too" then you definitely're asserting the bible won't make experience and you shouldn't could study any student's writing's to understand the bible. The bible is meant to be the words to stay by and in case you're able to added know it with scholars writing's then you definitely understand on your heart the bible is organic crap.

Jesus continues to say that He is the messiah-He said it to the Samaritan woman- He told Peter that he was correct in thinking that- and on and on it goes. People thought that the messiah would be born to a great family-or have huge earthly power to other through governments-that's why it was easy to say He was a Prophet instead of the Son of God. But Jesus is very clear on this point-so should we.

Both the bible and the Quran agree that Jesus(PBUH) is a messenger and a prophet. The messiah, the word of truth, but absolutely and unequivocally NOT GOD. Jesus(PBUH) never was nor will he ever be GOD ALMIGHTY

Wow, you guys get so uptight about the pecking order among mad mystics from the iron age and the medieval period. "The people of the book" sounds so promising (like a reading circle!) but turns out to be a people who are required to read only one book, and one alone, and remain ignorant of everything else. Because of this, islam will fail.

Who cares. I know, you lot argue over it, have a big war, erradicate eachother, and leave the world to us people who can get along, love , laugh, and get on with it ,without a book of guidelines written by folk who rode camels, pissed in holes, didn't wash and thought that walking across deserts with their children was a good idea.
If you decide to have a war, do it in France; no bugger cares what happens there anyway!!!!!!!!!
