I don’t know that much about Islam and their religious beliefs. My knowledge is from what I see from the news (which can be another story), videos, internet and blogs. I use Google a lot for information that I am not familiar as many do. I googled Jesus on Islam, this is what I found:
Muslim’s respect and honor Jesus, who in the Quran is called Isa (one name for him). They believe that Jesus was one of man’s greatest messengers. His virgin birth is confirmed in the Quran in a chapter entitled “Maryam”.
Muslims also do not believe that Jesus was crucified, that it was planned by his enemies to crucify him, but God rescued him and raised him up to Him. They believe the likeness of Jesus was placed over another man, and that man was crucified, as Jesus.
From CBN.com on Jesus and Muslim belief “Christ is seen to be a Prophet and Envoy of God of “surpassing greatness” (according to one Muslim writer), but only a man and nothing more. As a performer of exceptional miracles, he was rescued by God from an untimely end, was raised up to heaven, and (according to certain traditions) will come back to earth again–to die a Muslim! He is not the Saviour of the world, and is certainly not God, or “the Son of God”.”
So, like it or not Christians do have some similar religious beliefs with Muslims. Christians believe in the Bible’s version of Jesus, the Muslims the Quran.
I am a Christian, I have no interest in reading the Quran. What I learn about Islam I will learn in bits and pieces as I have, by reading other sources.
This brings up more questions, why are Muslim Terrorists so intent on destroying Christians if they believe in the Quran. Is it because we believe Jesus is our Saviour, and they only believe he was a man with a message?
Why are there always more questions than answers?
