Now you may say those passages I shared with you are false or vice versa. Indeed Jesus prophesied that people would worship him uselessly and would believe in doctrines made not by God but by man: Matthew 15:9: "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men". So,we use the Qur'an as the standard to correct man made changes in
previously revealed scriptures.Not as you made appear to accussing me for treating the Bible as a plate of food, you take what you want and leave want you dont want, no! that isnt the case here.
Back to the topic: We Muslims are the true followers of Jesus, peace be upon him, because we defend him from the exaggerations of the Christians and teach the Pure Monotheism that Jesus himself followed.
Muslims are taught to love Jesus, and a person cannot be a Muslim without believing in the virgin birth and miracles of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.Muslims believe these things about Jesus not because of the Bible or any other religion, but simply because the Holy Qur.aan says these things about him. However, Muslims always emphasise that the miracles of Jesus, and all other prophets, were by "God's permission". This having been said, many Christians feel to not believe that Jesus is the "Son of God", "God Incarnate" or the "Third Person" of the Trinity. This is because the Qur.aan clearly says that Almighty God does not have a "Son" neither allegorically, physically, metaphorically or metaphysically.
Additionally, Christian doctrines such as the Trinity and the Atonement are criticised by Muslims precisely because they did not originate from Jesus,
peace be upon him. So we are defenders of Jesus teaching.
