The following statement from the Bible supports the Islamic belief that Jesus (pbuh) was a prophet of God. "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know." [The Bible, Acts 2:22]
The Bible does not support the Christian belief in trinity at all. One of the scribes once asked Jesus (pbuh) as to which was the first commandment of all, to which Jesus (pbuh) merely repeated what Moses (pbuh) had said earlier: "Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adonai Ikhad."
This is a Hebrew quotation, which means: "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord."
[The Bible, Mark 12:29]

The word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, however it is a theological word which describes the belief that there is one God which consists of three persons - all equal in power and glory. The history is found in the Bible. There is a number of verses from the Old Testament which suggest the trinity, but my space is limited so I will stay with the New Testament verses.
Jesus is God, found In the New Testament.
John 1:1-3—“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him....” Jesus Christ existed with God prior to creation.
John 8:58—“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.. Jesus certainly did mean He is God - because the Jews wanted to stone Him for claiming to be God. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Note: This is pointing back to Moses and the burning bush were Moses asks God for His name and he says “I AM”.
Matt 14:27, Mark 6:50; 13:6; 14:62; Luke 21:8; 22:70; John 4:26; 6:20; 8:24,28; 13:13,19; 18:5,6,8 ("I am He" is written in some translations which the translators added the word ‘he’.
John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him (Jesus), My LORD and my God.
Revelation 1:8—“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” (cf. Rev. 22:13).
Hebrews 1:3—“[Jesus Christ is] upholding all things by the word of his power.”
Colossians 1
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Matthew 12:25, Matthew 27:18, Luke 6:8 —“Jesus knew their thoughts.”
Revelation 2
23 . … I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Hebrews 13:8—“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever”.
Worshipping Jesus
Revelation 5:8
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

the bible does support the trinity, you just don't understand it thats why your muslim...
Islam is a philosophy, while the bible isn't..Meaning there is no gray in the bible, its a take it or leave, while islam is vague, be good, but it never stipulates on what good is, so one can never actually do it...
I think Muhammad is a liar, in French Muhammad is pronounced and spells Bohammad, i didn't spell it right, thats another way of saying satan.
How do you know that Muhammad didn't make it up (Islam). He never did anything divine, he lived a wretched sinful life, and there is no census proving that he ever lived. While Jesus there is, Jesus perfomed miracles, Jesus talked about Loving people that hate you, forgive your enemies, talks about chasity, and on the day and the hour people crucified him, he still blessed the people, but Muhammad is agreated enitiy than Jesus ...NO
Im not trying to bash islam, its just it makes no sence...

Jesus Christ wasn't A God. He IS God!
by the by, the Quran is nothing more than a plagiarized version on the Torah and the Bible by Muhamed, minus the love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.
And if you're trying to prove that Jesus, born of a Jew is a prophet of God, then why on earth do Muslims hate Jews? They should be treating them as brothers then!

Hi, Punt-man.
This statement from the Bible supports the Christian belief that Christ IS God:
"Before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:58)

Read John 1... it tells us that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.... later on you will read that the Word was made flesh (Jesus). It is the same Word that was God, that was there in Genesis when God said let US make man in OUR image"... it is when Thomas called out to Him and said "My LORD and my God"... He was talking about the SAME person... Jesus.
Jesus was 100% God and 100% human.
I can talk to u more about it, if u need more scripture. Email me.
Take care, God bless

Yes Jesus Christ is God.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Joh 1:16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Joh 1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Joh 1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Joh 1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Joh 1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Joh 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Joh 1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
