Original vs. Conceptual.....
The perversion of the gospel: Jesus understood that he was one with God as did every other mystic. Only he lived in a culture where you could'nt say this without commiting blasphemy. Therefore, the followers of Jesus said only Jesus was the son of God. This began a religion (organized) about Jesus and not of Jesus......And the rest is history

Actually, you are wrong on so many accounts. Jesus Himself said He was the Son of God. There were witnesses to the Holy Spirit lighting on Jesus as He was baptized by John, and then of course do not forget the miracles and the miracle of His Resurrection, which was witnessed by over 500 people.

The Islamic view of Jesus lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Jesus as a Prophet of God, called him an impostor. The Christians on the other hand, consider him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Jesus as one of the great Prophets of God and respects him as much as Abraham, Moses and Muhammad. This is in conformity with the Islamic point of view of the oneness of God, the oneness of Divine guidance, and the complimentary role of the subsequent messages of God’s messengers. The essence of Islam, which is the willing submission to the will of God, was revealed to Adam who passed it on to his children. All following revelations to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and finally Muhammad were in conformity with that message in addition to some elaboration to define the relation between Man and God, man and man, man and his environment, and to live according to God’s instructions. Thus, any contradiction among revealed religions is viewed by Islam as a man-made element introduced into these religions. The position of Jesus in the three major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, should not be an exception.
Although the Qur’an does not present a detailed life-account of Jesus, it highlights the important aspects of his birth, his mission, his ascension to heaven and passes judgements on the Christian beliefs concerning him.

Although Jesus came to reconcile God to Man(kind) He did not make us little Gods(heaven forbid-that is a scarry thought!).
He alone is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. And deserves all of our Praise and all of our love!

Jesus said, "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father." (John 14:9) He was called, "Emmanuel", which is to say God with us. He was called the Son of God because he was the physical manifestation of the Godhead, born of a human woman.
He, and Christianity wasn't, hasn't been, and isn't about religion (man reaching out to God). Christianity is about God reaching out to man.

Jesus only did what his father showed him to do,& as far as any true teachings that Jesus did, it all was true, & he pasted his Teachings on to his Apostles, For Jesus said, Father, I pray not for these(APOSTLES)alone, but also for them that will believe on me through THEIR(APOSTLES) Word. And there is only One doctrine & that is found in Acts 2:42
