Who Was Jesus (as)?

[laian]

Bismillah


I just wanted to add my two cents to this conversation. When the bible says in John 14:6 as christy quoted,

Was Jesus a liar? He said that he was the Only Way to God
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me'" (John 14:6).

I take this to mean that Jesus is referring to himself as the example for people to follow to get to heaven. Just as Abraham had the true religion from God and asked his people to follow him, and Moses, and all the other prophets including Mohammed, peace be upon them all.. Each was a prophet to his own people, and the people are required to follow their prophet. So the people of Jesus' (alaihi salam) time are required to follow his example, and we as the people of Mohammed (saws) are required to follow his example. So Jesus (as) is correct to say I am the way... in other words, what I do is what you should do, follow my way, it is the only true religion accepted by God. This is the same for all prophets.


On a note about Jesus' miraculous birth... God created Adam (as) without a man or a woman... He created Eve from only a man... He created Jesus (as) from only a woman... and He created the rest of us from a man and a woman. So he shows he is capable of everything. Also, each prophet had a miracle as a sign that they were a chosen prophet of God. In Moses' (as) time the high interest of the day was magic, as there were many skilled magicians. So he gave miracles to the people of Pharoah that were far beyond anything their magicians could do. In the time of Jesus (as), the high interest was medicine, so Jesus (as) was able to cure sicknesses by Allah's power, and his birth was also miraculous and he could speak as a baby in the cradle. In Mohammed's (saws) time it was literature, and Mohammed saws was illiterate and his miracle was the Qur'an, which is a perfect book containing many literary miracles.


This is my own understanding of these things, and I hope it makes the muslim view of Jesus (as) more clear for you.


Allah knows best.
