Jesus was not a prophet

Ibrahim,

You included Jesus in your list of prophets. That is incorrect. Jesus wasn't a prophet.

Jesus acknowledged his identity in Matthew 16 and Mark 8. He agreed when Peter recognized him as the Christ. Jesus was the earthly embodiment of God.

I know you Mohammedans try to equate Jesus with some character you call issa, but it isn't the Jesus that I worship. I don't know issa. It's probably someone Mohammed made up...
