Muslims view of Christ:

  1. Jesus was born of a virgin.
  2. Jesus was created, not the eternal God.
  3. Jesus is only a man. Son of Mary.
  4. Jesus was strengthened by the Holy Spirit
  5. Jesus performed miracles by the power of the spirit.
  6. Jesus was given revelation by Allah.
  7. Jesus was given the gospel by God.
  8. Jesus was not crucified, he only appeared to be
  9. Jesus was taken bodily into heaven
  10. Anyone who says that Jesus is the son of God will be cursed
  11. Jesus will come back to establish Islam throughout the world.

 

  1. How to witness to Muslims. Show Love and confidence.
  2. Acknowledge the high view that Muhammad had of Christ.
    1. Logically the virgin birth of Christ.
    2. Surah 3:54 states: “When Allah said: ‘O Jesus, I will cause thee to die and exalt thee in My presence and clear thee of those who disbelieve”
    3. Gospels speak much about Jesus dying and being resurrected: Matt 17:22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. 23 They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life.” And the disciples were filled with grief.
  3. Show that God wants fellowship.
  4. Payment of sin is required; Christ therefore had to die.
  5. Salvation can be now and assured.
