Jesus is the Greek equivalent for Yeshua in Hebrew, or Joshua/Josh in English and means Savior.
Christ is also Greek for "anointed one" and the Hebrew was similar to Messiah. Christ was more of a title.
Lord in the Old Testament was YHWY, and in the New Testament the Greek word was (in English letters since I dont have the patience to open Microsoft Word and copy and paste) "kurios" which meant, "a lord, master, owner, potenant, sovereign, power, deity, Jehovah, sir"
And contrary to what that other person said, Jesus most definitely spoke Greek. Everyone spoke Greek in public in those days, the only time they would speak Hebrew would be in the temple, and in the home they would speak their most native language. Since everyone knew Greek, Jesus' sermons would have been in Greek so everyone could understand it - thus the Sermon on the Mount was definitely spoken in Greek.

Allah loves those who turn to Him in repentance, and when His servant repents to Him, it pleases Him immensely. He says: “Allah loves those who turn much in repentance, and He loves those who purify themselves.” [Sûrah al-Baqarah(2): 222]
Allah also says in the Quran
Allah says: “Allah does not forgive that anyone should set up partners with Him, but he forgives anything less than that to whom He pleases.” 4’: 48]
Also in the Quran, God says:
"People of the Book (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and attribute to God nothing except the Truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of God, and His command that He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and in His Messengers, and do not say: (God is a) trinity. Give up this assertion; it would be better for you. God is indeed just One God. Far be it from His Glory that He should have a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Allah is sufficient for a guardian." (4:171-172)
The word trinity is not in the bible..It is in The Quran more then once..
Allah says in the Quran regarding Trinity:
"Surely, disbelievers are those who said: ‘Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).’ But there is no god but One God. And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them (Quran 5:73).
Also:
"People of the Book (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and attribute to God nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and His command that He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and in His Messengers, and do not say: ‘Allah is a Trinity.’ Give up this assertion; it would be better for you. Allah is indeed just one God. Far be it from His glory that He should have a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Allah is sufficient for a guardian" (Quran 4:171).
7. Do Muslims believe that Jesus was the son of God? NO
As mentioned above, Muslims believe that God is One and free of all partners and associates. He is above all that others associate with Him. All power and control are with Him. It is above His Majesty and Glory to take a son, partner or associate. He is independent of everyone and everything, while on the other hand, everyone and everything is dependent on Him.
"Say: "God is Unique! God, the Source [of everything]. He has not fathered anyone nor was He fathered, and there is nothing comparable to Him!" (Quran 112:1-4).
The Quran also states:
"Such was Jesus, the son of Mary; it is a statement of truth, about which they vainly dispute. It is not befitting to the majesty of Allah, that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be’ and it is" (Quran 19:34-35).
8. Do Muslims believe Jesus was killed on the cross then resurrected? NO
"And because of their saying, ‘We killed Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. The have no knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely they killed him not (Jesus, son of Mary). But Allah raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is ever All-Powerful, All-Wise" (Quran 4:157-158).
CHRISTIANITY
1.Do Christians believe Jesus was a human being and Messenger of God? YES & NO
With the exception of Unitarian Christians, most Christians now believe in the Divinity of Prophet Jesus, which is connected to the belief in Trinity (which is discussed in point number six).
They say he is the second member of the Triune God, the Son of the first part of the Triune God, and at the same time "fully" God in every respect.
Early followers of Jesus never believed that he was God.

Verses From the bible who negate Trinity And Divnity of Christ..
John 20:17
Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'" (
Jesus prayed that we would be one just as he and the father were one
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (The Bible, Mathew 7:22-24)
10.29 "My Father which gave them me is greater than all..."
john 13:16: Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him

because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
John 17:22-23
22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
