Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus there occurred the miracle of the incarnation of God in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a human being invites a number of questions. Let us ask the following about the alleged truly man- truly god Jesus. What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)? Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh? During his lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from wounds? Did the cells of his body die as in ordinary human beings? If his body did not function in a truly human way, he could not be truly human as well as truly God. Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human way, this would nullify any claim to divinity. It would be impossible for any part of God, even if incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God. By definition, not mystery, the everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or decompose: "For I the Lord do not change" (Malachi 3:6). Did Jesus' flesh dwell in safety after his death? 1 Peter 3:18 states Jesus was "put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:44-45 claims Jesus was "raised a spiritual body," that is, he "became a life-giving spirit." No mention of the survival of the flesh is alluded to. In Acts 2:31, it is claimed Peter stated that following the alleged resurrection Jesus' body did not see decay. Paul is alleged to have also made this claim (Acts 13:34-37). However, unless Jesus' body never underwent "decay" during his lifetime he could not be God, but if it did not undergo "decay" then he was not truly human.

Salam
He spoke at birth and told you that he was a messenger and prophet of Allah (The Lord)
If he did die that way or not, if he was born that way or not, the messege he brought was the message of total peace.
He was the best doctor in the entire world and still remains that way other than he was 2nd to Al Quran and Islam and the prophet of that was Abrahim, all the way to Muhammed SAW
Peace to you.
If he was what you said then that means we are all sons of god and that don't make much sense does it.

Jesus is a fictional character. The story of a resurrected "savior" is neither unique nor original to christianity. The Jesus character in the christian myth was based on characters from older myths.

Did a historical Jesus exist?
http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm
[Excerpt]
ALL CLAIMS OF JESUS DERIVE FROM HEARSAY ACCOUNTS
No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus got written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because all sources derive from hearsay accounts.
Hearsay means information derived from other people rather than on a witness' own knowledge.
Courts of law do not generally allow hearsay as testimony, and nor does honest modern scholarship. Hearsay provides no proof or good evidence, and therefore, we should dismiss it.

Mary is/was a VIRGIN meaning God did not have sex with her!!!!!
The Bible says "blessesd are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God"
In the psalms it says
"David thou art my son this day have I begotten thee"
Those two passages and many more show that people are called sons or children of God without having been physically birthed by Him.
Adam and Eve were created physically by God and they are not considered His children but God never laid a hand on Jesus and Jesus is His son?????
Jesus might be called God's child in rhe same sense that this answer is the child of my brain but Jesus(peace be unto him) is the result of God's commandment that Mary(upon her be peace) b ecome pregnant NOT as aresult of sex.
Therefore Jesus (pbuh) is NOT BEGOTTEN.
As I said before MANY are referred to as the "children of God" in the Bible but not in the sense that we have children it simply imdicates a strong relationship.
ALSO REMEMBER THAT JOHN3:16 WAS NOT WRITTEN BY JESUS(PBUH) IT IS A COMMENT MADE BY SOME ONE ABOUT HIM (and it is incorrect) NOT A COMMENT MADE BY HIM ABOUT HIMSELF.

Quran Chapter 112 explicitly states that God does not beget nor he is begotten.
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only! Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him

If he wasn't Son of God, you aren't forgiven by his atoning sacrifice. The idea that a mere human could pay for the sins of millions is ridiculous. However real christians have experienced forgiveness, and know its true. Also the Holy Spirit (which JWs possible descrtibe as vague power) is available to aid you if you have believed. If it was all a silly lie, that most precious gift would not have been given; it comes in response to faith that Jesus is who He claimed to be.

I can only answer your question this way, by faith I accept that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God; and my Saviour.
By faith I know in my heart that He walks with me each day.
Through prayer we can commune with Jesus.
Through reading the Bible, we will learn that Jesus is the Son of God, but that He is also the Saviour of the
World.

this far from the fact of the day, it cannot be disproved, but it cannot be disproved, either.
The odds are that he was NOT the son of God, by Occam's Razor.

yea he is never son of God! believe me.
Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a MAN accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.”(Acts 2:22)said peter.
In the Bible, God declares:Before me NO god was formed, NOR will there be one after me.”(Isaiah 43:10)
when a teacher of the Law of Moses asked him:‘Of all the commandments, which is the most important?’ ‘The most important one,’ answered Jesus, ‘is this: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is ONE. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’” (Mark 12:28-30)
According to Isaiah 43:11, God said:I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.”
Also God said according to Isaiah 45:21-22: “Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other
