This is important for us because Hebrew is the key to becoming more authentically Biblical. In Hebrew, the phrase,"and she shall call his name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins," is actually a play on words. "…and she shall call His name Yeshua for He will yoshea His people…(Matt.1:21). Both are derived from the root "yesha", to save. So Yeshua means savior, the implications of which are astounding.
Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Amazing God his people through Isaiah 800 years or so before Christ. The prophesy of the coming of the Mesiah that he would be called Imanuel which means God with us.
Mary was told she was with child and he should be named Jesus which means Savior because he would save his people.
and Muslims believe in both prophesys but not what they mean? because after Jesus came to the world had power over sin and death...he came back to Muhammed to say it was all a lie???? Amazing!! throughout the history of man we have had prophesies of this Mesiah coming and who he is and what he did and why he came and fufilled all of the prophecies that were foretold and here we have Muhammed entirely wiping out everything he did with one swoop he denied who who is by saying to Muhammed I am not God there is no trinity..........Amazing how much impact one dead man does to people who reject an eternal living God for a dead mans bones. 4000 years of prophesy and truth from God denied by one dead man.

Muslim Rose did the angels not know that the meaning of the name Jesus was Savior? Was Allah so foolish as to name a man a name which only God could have? No man can save you says the Muslims but Jesus was named Savior by Allah who later denied who Jesus was and the fact that he died to atone for sin....nothing but delemas for Muslims who say they believe and deny at the same time. What Prohets do the Muslims believe? All of the prophets of God they say. Which prophesies do you accept? er uh...nobody knows we believe whatever Muhammed said to believe.

They believe Jesus the Savior, do you have the same belief about Muhammad? Why keep on claiming exclusive possessor of truth?
Please read the Holy Books to find out the Divine Unity taught in all revelative or Abrahamaic religions.

Jesus was the Messiah of Israel, but not the saviour because before he was crucified, he also seek another saviour which is the father a.k.a Allah. So Allah is the saviour, not jesus.
Jesus is Lord , but not Lord God. What I am trying to say here is he is lord because he is from the noble lineage of King david, that's why we call him lord a.k.a Sayyid, not because he is lord god. We believe that there are other way to remove sisns, not trhough the lamb of god, but instead, thorugh repentance.

Look.. he was a saviour in the sense that he attempted to bring his people to the correct path. its all based on how you interperet it. like you for example you think that it *must mean that he died *for your sins while us (muslims) believe that he tried to correct his people from their sins by telling them and advising them and was successful most of the time untill later his message was corrupted.. he therefeore *saved those who followed his correct message.

Muslems are spiritualy blind. It is up to the Holy Spirit to convict them. Jesus is the Son of God, everybody should know that, but not everybody does.

Muslims call Jesus Christ without knowing what it means, just like they call allah without knowing its a name of a stone idol.
Muslims are blinded ALL THEIR LIFE.

He will be the saviour at the end of time, but surely he will uphold the religion of Islam.
Allahuakbar.

Islam agrees with Christianity, in general, on the following points:
1. Islam advocates the holiness of Jesus. As a matter of fact, it is an essential part of the Islamic teaching to revere Jesus and to believe in his holiness, and that he lived in this world as a pure person free of any sin. From the Holy Qur'an:
"When the angels said: 'O Mary! Surely God gives thee good news of a word from Him whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, Son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and the hereafter, and of those who are highly accepted by God.' " 3:45
2. Islam declares the holiness of Mary, the mother of Jesus. No Muslim can doubt the decency and purity of Mary. She, according to the Qur'an, had been the most noble among the women of the nations:
"And when the angels said: 'O Mary! Certainly God has chosen thee and made thee pure and has preferred thee above the women of all nations. 'O Mary! Be obedient to thy Lord, prostrate thyself and bow with those who bow (in worship).'" 3:42-43
3. Islam declares that Jesus was miraculously born from a virgin mother with no father. From the Holy Qur'an:
"And mention Mary in the book. When she withdrew to a place east of her family. She screened herself from them; then We sent to her Our angel, and he appeared to her as a man in all respects. She said: 'I seek refuge in God against you if you are righteous.' He said: 'I am only a Messenger of Thy Lord to grant to you a pure boy.' She said: 'How can I have a son, and no mortal has yet touched me, nor have I been unchaste?' He said: 'So (it will be). Thy Lord says: "It is easy for Me; and that We may make him a sign to men and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed. Then she conceived him; and withdrew with him to a remote place. And the throes of childbirth drove her to the trunk of the palm-tree. She said: 'Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten. So a voice came to her from beneath her: 'Grieve not, surely thy Lord has provided a stream beneath thee. And shake towards thee the trunk of the palm-tree, it will drop on thee fresh ripe dates. So eat and drink and be pleased. Then if thou seest any human, say: "Surely I have vowed a fasting for the sake of the Beneficent, so I will not speak to any human today." 19:16-26
4. The Qur'an attributes to Jesus many of the miracles which are mentioned in the Gospel. According to the Holy Qur'an, Jesus was empowered by God to cure the sick, revive the dead, and make the blind see:
"... and He (God) will make him (Jesus) a messenger to the children of Israel (saying): 'I have come to you with a sign from your Lord that I fashion for you, out of clay, the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by permission of God. I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I raise the dead by permission of God. And I announce unto you what ye eat and what ye store in your houses. 'Lo! Herein verily is a sign for you, if ye are to be believers.' " 3:49
In addition to this, the Holy Qur'an ascribes to Jesus a miracle that is not recorded in the gospels: Jesus spoke clearly while he was in the cradle:
"Then she came to her people with him, carrying him. They said: 'O Mary, thou hast indeed brought a strange thing. O sister of Aaron, thy father was not a wicked man, nor was thy mother an unchaste woman.' But she pointed to him. They said: 'How should we speak to a one who is a child in the cradle?' He said: 'I am indeed a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet; and He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer and purity so long as I live. And to be kind to my mother; and He has not made me insolent, un-blessed. And Peace be on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I am raised to life (in the Hereafter).' " 19:27-33
The area of disagreement between Islam and Christianity, concerning Jesus, includes the following points:
1. Although Islam accepts the holiness of Jesus, it denies his divinity. According to the teaching of Islam, Jesus is no deity. He is not God, nor is he united with God. He is worthy of reverence and great respect, but he is not worthy of worship. Islam is uncompromising in its Monotheism. God is only One, and there is no God but He, the Almighty, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsistent, the Infinite in life, knowledge, and power. Jesus is not ever-living. He was born less than 2000 years ago, and according to the gospels, he died after a very short life. He is not almighty because he was a subject of persecution; nor was he infinite. He could not be the Creator of the world because the world is over four billion years old, while he was born less than two thousand years ago. He is not worthy of worship because he himself was a humble worshipper of God.
2. Jesus, according to the teaching of Islam, is not a son of God. God does not have any son or child, because He is above that. Bodily parenthood is inconceivable in His case because He is not physical. Spiritual parenthood also is not conceivable, because He is the Creator of every spiritual and material being. The Holy Qur'an is clear on this point:
"And (they) impute falsely, without knowledge, sons and daughters unto Him. Glorified be He and high exalted above (all) that they ascribe (unto Him). The Originator of the heavens and the Earth! How can He have a child when there is no consort for Him, when He created all things and is Aware of all things? Such is God, your Lord. There is no God save Him, the Creator of all things, so worship Him. And He taketh care of all things." 6:100-102
3. Islam denies the crucifixion of Jesus. Jesus did not die on the cross. The Holy Qur'an is clear on this point.
"And because of their saying: 'We slew the Messiah Jesus Son of Mary, the Messenger of God.' They slew him not nor crucified him, but appeared so unto them; and lo! Those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof but the pursuit of a conjecture; for certain they slew him not, but God took him up to Himself. God is Ever-Mighty, Wise." 4:157-158
