How Was Jesus Viewed during his lifetime? (short and sweet article)

[cmelbouzaidi]

In Islam, Jesus (pbuh) is considered a great Prophet of God, and is greatly respected. Over one billion Muslims around the world love and respect Jesus (pbuh) as an important prophet of God. Most Christians however, view Jesus (pbuh) as part of a triune God and also the begotten son of God. To get to the bottom of this, who better to ask then those that lived in the time of Jesus (pbuh)?

Jesus is innocent of their allegations

Jazaki Allah khairan dear sister, Cathrine for your interesting thread.


I read that until about 300 years after Jesus peace be upon him left the Earth and was raised by Allah to the heavens, it was known by all his followers that Jesus is a prophet. He was regarded as a human prophet sent by Allah to guide and call for monotheism, the same call that all prophets from Adam to Muhammad peace be upon them all called for.

After about three hundred years of Jesus departure, the false allegations about him, his nature and the idea of triune began to emerge. The Roman leader of Jerusalem killed all those who hold on their faith of Jesus as a prophet calling for Monotheism and spared those who attributed divinity to him!!
