If Islam truly honors Jesus of the Bible, then
* ISLAM should accept Christ's claim to Deity, as both God and Son of God, BUT IT DOES NOT.
* ISLAM should accept Christ's Sacrificial Death on the Cross, BUT IT DOES NOT.
* ISLAM should accept Christ's Resurrection from the Dead, BUT IT DOES NOT.
You are being robbed of the true Jesus (virgin born, Divine, crucified, raised from dead), and salvation.
1. JESUS IS GOD; JESUS IS SON OF GOD
A person can believe whatever he chooses to believe, but the history and truth of Jesus is found in the Bible. Any writing that contradicts the Bible is in error.
