They believe also that both Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) came to mankind to call for worshiping God, the one and only. Neither of them nor Moses came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one and only God or the belief in the oneness of God. this doctrine that was brought by all prophets since start of mankind; including Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, ..., Jesus, and Mohamed (Peace upon them all). Both Jesus and Mohamed (peace upon them) received the revelation from God to confirm and renew the doctrine of worshiping one (and only one) God.
In Quran, there is a complete chapter (or Surah) titled 'Maryam' (Mary) that confirms Maryam virgin birth (Chapter 19).
The Quran states the following on the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him):
"(Remember) when the angels said, 'O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous.' She said, 'My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?" He said, "So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, 'Be!' and 'it is.' "[Quran, chapter 3, verses 45-47]
Jesus was born as miracle by the word and command of God. This command is, as said in Quran, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said in Quran:"The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being". [Quran, chapter 3, Verse 59]
During the prophetic mission of Jesus (peace be upon him), Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us in Quran "Jesus said:'I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses....' " [Quran, chapter 3, verse 49]
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. They believe that the enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) plotted and planned to crucify Jesus. However, God miraculously saved Jesus and raised him up to Him (to God). God, the all Powerful and the all Capable, put the likeness of Jesus (peace upon him) over another man. The enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) thought that the this other man is Jesus and they took him and crucified him. Quran says: "...They said, 'We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God.' They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... " [Quran, chapter 4, verse 157]
Muslims believe that Jesus was lifted bodily to the Heaven by God and they believe that he will come back to earth to resolve the disputes and bring back peace to mankind.
Answer BThe majority of Christians believe that Jesus is not God's messenger, but God's son and one of the three parts of the Godhead. Angels were used by God as messengers, as were the prophets, but Jesus demonstrated that He was divine and the fulfilment of the messages that had foretold of Him.Answer C
No, Jesus was not just a messenger of God. Jesus was God who came in a human form to die for the sins of the world as foretold by true prophets of God.
Jewish Scripture (OT) proves the deity of Jesus in several places like in Isaiah 9:6.
Christian Scripture (NT) proves the deity of Jesus in places like John 1:1, 1 Tim 3:16, John 8:58.
Islamic Scripture (Quran), as it came from Mohammad who was illiterate, refers Jesus as only a prophet even though Quran has many references about Jesus which even Mohammad did not qualify. Mohammad only knew the human side of Jesus and never read OT or NT. He got all his idea about Jesus from story tellers. Mohammad did not understand that the term "Son of God" did not mean a literal son as he says in Quran "How can god have a son" "Allah can not have a consort" etc..

∙ 12y agoIf you are a Christian, then Christ is the Son of God and ... considered God as well.
A messenger? Sure He is. He is a prophet after all. One thing a prophet does is to reveal us God's words ... a messenger.
So Christ is a messenger of God and since He has all power on earth and in heaven He is God as well.
AnswerChrist is not just "a" God, one among many: He is God. He created everything, Christ is the God of the OId Testament.Gen 1 (v.1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
John 1:1, 3, 14 (KJV)
John 1 (v.1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... John 1 (v.3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. .... John 1 (v.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.
Col 1:13-17 (AKJV)
(v.13) .... of his [that is, the Father's] dear Son: (v.14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (v.15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (v.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: (v.17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist [that is, held together].
.
No-one except God is to be worshipped:-
Matt 4:8-11 (KJV)
Matt 4 (v.8) Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; Matt 4 (v.9) And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Matt 4 (v.10) Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matt 4 (v.11) Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
A 'messenger' ['From the Greek word 'angelos'] of God is an angel, and they worship only God:-
Rev 7:11-12 (KJV)
(v.11) And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, andworshipped God, (v.12) Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
It doesn't matter if a person is a Christian or not: Christ is not an angel - Christ is God.

How does Jesus improve the image of God among Christians?
By giving us a living example of God and how we are to live. We understand Gods love by experiencing it through Jesus and now through His followers rather than just hearing about it from a book. God may have seemed scary and unforgiving before Jesus forgave sinners publicly as an act of obedience to God and love for His creation. If we believe that He is God's son and messenger on earth, we can then associate Jesus' kindness with God. Jesus is kind and loving therefore God is kind and loving. God heals the sick, Feeds the hungry, teaches the masses and forgives sinners.
