In the Qur'an, stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (called 'Isa in Arabic) are abundant. The Qur'an recalls his miraculous birth, his teachings, the miracles he performed by God's permission, and his life as a respected prophet of God. The Qur'an also repeatedly reminds that Jesus was a human prophet sent by God, not part of God Himself. Below are some direct quotations from the Qur'an regarding his life and teachings.
"Behold! the angels said, 'Oh Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him. His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter, and in (the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity.
He shall be (in the company) of the righteous... And God will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel'" (3:45-48).
"He [Jesus] said: 'I am indeed a servant of God. He has given me revelation and made me a prophet; He has made me blessed wheresoever I be; and He has enjoined on me prayer and charity as long as I live. He has made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable. So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!' Such was Jesus the son of Mary. It is a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is" (19:30-35).
"When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: 'Now I have come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which you dispute. Therefore, fear God and obey me. God, He is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him -- this is a Straight Way.' But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement. So woe to the wrongdoers, from the penalty of a Grievous Day!" (43:63-65)
"And behold! God will say [i.e. on the Day of Judgment]: 'Oh Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God?' He will say: 'Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Yours. For You know in full all that is hidden. Never did I say to them anything except what You commanded me to say: 'Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I lived among them. When You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a witness to all things'" (5:116-117).
"Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how God makes His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" (5:75).

Give us some evidence that this alleged god will say that?
Amazing. People make up stuff about what this alleged god will say far in the future and then claim that nobody can disprove it.
The Patriots will win the Super Bowl in 2347 AH , beating the Browns in the final by 34-10.
Disprove that.
You can't can you. I must be correct, as you can't disprove it.
Nobody has ever produced any evidence that Jesus was born of a virgin or that Abraham existed.
Did Jesus really make clay birds live?
Let us see Muslims get the past right, before we take any notice of what they say about the future.

Post #5That's because Muslims are in the habit of MURDERING people who try. Do you understand how terrible of a person you are presenting yourself as by making the statements you've made? You're like a prison guard who's convinced all the inmates LOVE being in prison because, in the past, guards have SHOT anyone who says otherwise.umair wrote:stevencarrwork wrote:Of course, none of it is true.

The kuran was cobbled together some 200 years after the alleged death of Mohammed in the 800's. Jesus allegedly lived and died nearly 800 years earlier. What on earth would the Kuran be able to contribute to the Jesus myth? It would be like you trying to add a new spin to events that took place in Europe in 1207.In the Qur'an, stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ
Just a question for you: if I post an image of Mohammed, will you try to murder me?

“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

I do Believe in Jesus, Not as a God but as one of the mighty messengers of God. Many people argue that because of his miraculous birth he is God,isnt Adam suppose to be God since he was created by God without a mother or father. I just need anybody to quote me a single verse from any version of the Bibles where Jesus himself claims I AM GOD or WORSHIP ME !

Post #8That's because it's not true, it's a book of mythology, just like the Bible. I fail to understand how gullible or fanatical someone has to be to read either of them and find truth within.goat wrote:On the contrary.. the Quran is a book that no one has been able to prove true in the last 1400 years.

Post #9Proving it's wrong is not necessary. It's not even a reasonable request. When such an incredible idea is first introduced is should be accompanied with solid evidence to back it's claim. It was not, so after 1400 years it's still the responsibility of believers to come up with adequate evidence it contains some divine info. Your statement has the cart before the horse. What you suggest means that any incredible story can be offered as true unless someone can prove it false.umair wrote:stevencarrwork wrote:Of course, none of it is true.

There is nothing in any scripture that could not have been conceived and written by mortal men. It's all human invention. None of the claims, that these books contain god exclusive information, hold up under analysis. No god exclusive info means no god was involved.

Apart from this rather tardy addition to what is already a demonstrable myth, it is worth noting the countless revisions that took place after people hastily scribbled down whatever they wanted about Muhammed. I'm sure you are aware that Arabic wasn't even standardized until well after people began composing the Qur'an.The kuran was cobbled together some 200 years after the alleged death of Mohammed in the 800's. Jesus allegedly lived and died nearly 800 years earlier. What on earth would the Kuran be able to contribute to the Jesus myth? It would be like you trying to add a new spin to events that took place in Europe in 1207.
Not to mention the fact that is was originally so contradictory and blatantly confected that people were appointed to sort the false from the true.
Not to mention the fact that, yes, as has been pointed out, religions in power are often in the habit of murdering or condemning those who question their Holy books.
Not to mention the fact that just because someone cannot prove you are incorrect, that does not mean you are automatically vindicated in your faith.
In my opinion, Islam is on much, much shakier ground than Judaism or Christianity, which is saying quite a bit.
