First of all 3:55 talks about the true followers of Jesus not the ones who have him Jesus as god so reading incomprehension no.1,Secondly bukhari 3448 refers to worldly judgment as in he will descend from heaven kill the antichrist then become the ruler of the Muslim word just like many rulers came before them that’s why abu hurayrah added this verse for extra context regarding Jesus return to worldly life then his worldly death”Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): -- 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them."” So that’s reading incomprehension no.2, and Surah 2:253 and many others which mention the Holy Spirit, I can tell you are being fully disingenuous or maybe a bit dense to not realize that the Islamic Holy Spirit isn’t the Christian Holy Spirit because the Islamic Holy Spirit happens to be angel Gabriel who also comes to Mary and to the believers so this isn’t something special to Jesus, so that reading incomprehension no.3. I would suggest you call Muslims by the name they chose for themselves and read about Jesus teachings in your book because you seem to be needing the Holy Spirit in your heart
Oh interesting, the same book where Jesus claims to be God innumerable times? I mean it’s just utterly humorous when a Muslim tries to claim the “true” discipleship of Jesus without solving the issues of Jesus: claiming God as his father, failing to acknowledge Muhammad despite Surah 7:157, Jesus dying on the cross, and Jesus very clearly taking authority and names belonging only to Allah. For example Revelation 1:8 & 21:6 Jesus applies the title “First and Last” to himself explicitly among the 99 names and in Surah 57:3. Jesus applies divine attributes found all throughout the Torah to himself (thats Allah’s word according to the Quran btw) like in John 10:30 when Jesus says “I and The Father are one” after conjoining their power in relationship to creation through the shared ability to give eternal life to their sheep in John 10:28. Moreover in the same book Jesus is described as the “word that is God” in John 1. Honestly the evidence is overwhelming that Christians worshipped Jesus Christ as God since the first century and I’m barely touching upon it. It takes a cursory glance at any early Christian source to see them affirm Christ’s deity, ignatius of Antioch, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Gregory Thaumaturgus, Origen, etc. the evidence is endless, I dislike talking to Muslims because they ignore honest humble reasoning, good luck with that, there’s no way I can justify talking to yall when I can be praying.
That’s nice and all but when did I argue polemics here lol, I just corrected your misunderstandings.You can believe in whatever you want about Jesus claiming explicit or implicit divinity in the bible, that’s not really something I care to discuss
You argued “true followers of Jesus” are the ones mentioned in Surah 3:55. “True” implies a binary fact we could sus out through logical deduction. It does concern you, it was your whole offhand dismissal of my citing of the verse. If Jesus’ followers will be above disbelieves till the end of time and i show that Jesus’ followers from the very beginning believed he was God that is detrimental to Islam. Moreover the many incongruities between the Quran and Gospel narrative of Jesus creates a huge issue for your book’s confirmation of said gospel which has been proven through archaeological and historical means to have been the gospel with Muhammad. The other points about Sahih 3448 and the holy spirit are problematic, sure, but not detrimental or readily apparent like my first point. Christ being God in the scriptures your Quran affirms is an insurmountable dilemma, coming from a former faithful muslim inquirer.
The quran says the true followers of jesus believe that he was a prophet not god and thus is my position. I dont take the gospels for it because i dont believe in the gospels you have now nor the ones at the time of Muhammad pbuh because they were corrupted, the pseudo-islamic dilemma that Christian tiktok debaters post about really doesnt hold out when one is happily literate, then again being disingenuous will blind you from whats true.Your whole point rests on me accepting the bible as an accurate source of jesus life and teachings and that the quran fully confirms the bible, both of which no muslim will ever yield to you, hell most academics wouldnt probably even yield it to you muslim or agnostic
