How you Percieve Christ of Nazareth

[heksesang]

Also agreed. However, we do need help to follow the teachings; we as humans can't do it all on our own.

Which is why the Holy Spirit was sent to us. To repeat to us the teachings of Christ.

I think you misunderstand what I meant, and it wasn't even meant to be derogatory. So allow me to clarify:

The Muslims believe that Jesus was not divine; He was only human. A great Prophet beloved by God, but just a human. He was not begotten by God; He is no more God's "son" than any other man is a "son" of God.

^The above is what I understood you to be saying about your view of Jesus. If I have that wrong, my apologies.

Well, he was just a human. As he said himself, he was not a spirit, but a human of flesh and blood. But the prophets were divine in the sense I think of divine - they were devoted to God and were chosen by God. Humans were created in God's image, so I cannot see any reason why a human that truly is a Son of God couldn't be considered divine.

Also the Son of God term was used about people who were devoted to God. Which truly followed him. It was also used about kings, as it was considered that God adopted the person he chose to be king (e.g. King Solomon). This latter understanding is what I have of Jesus as the Son of God.
And Jesus was indeed the most beloved one by God, as he made clear in the vineyard story, the previous prophets and kings were just considered servants compared to him.

I don't believe my beliefs about Jesus are comparable to the one of the muslims. To me Jesus is like their Muhammad (in the sense that I consider Jesus to be the final, greatest prophet) - which is quite different.

In actuality, the analogy you gave makes Jesus and Muhammad quite similar
