Let's start with Jesus Christ, who the Bible clearly portrays as much more than a prophet. He's the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, and the one who walked on water, turned water into wine, and oh, yes—was resurrected after being crucified. But let's not just take that at face value; here's what Scripture tells us about Him:

Key Verses:

Now, I know what you're thinking. "That's all well and good, but how does that apply to me, living in the 21st century?" I'm glad you asked!

Notice something here? Jesus was not just a prophet or a teacher—He was God incarnate. What do we mean by that? It means that at His first state He was God Almighty in the Bosom of the Heavenly Father, then He Himself decided to come to earth and be like a human to save mankind; to be born like a baby and grow just like any other person, thus, God is manifested as a normal ordinary 100% man—He bleeds, cries, hungers, sleeps, gets tired, is tempted in the flesh and so on while He was on the EarthM now He is In Heaven....

Christ, that is, the 'Messiah' the 'Anointed One;' was not merely sent to give people a few tips on being good. He is the Creator of all things Himself (even Muhammad was made by Him), who holds the power over Life and Death.

The very essence of His mission on Earth was to reconcile humankind to God through His sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection to glory, awaiting to usher in His Kingdom, hallelujah!

Now, let's look at Muhammad. In Islamic tradition, Muhammad is considered the last prophet, sent by Allah to guide humanity. Muslims believe he received the Quran over a span of 23 years through the angel Gabriel. But here is the thing: according to the Quran itself, Muhammad performed no miracles (except for receiving the Quran), and he himself never claimed to be divine in any way.

Key Points from the Quran:

Now, I know what you're thinking. "That's all well and good, but how does that apply to me, living in the 21st century?" I'm glad you asked!

But before we can continue let me point something out that i think is very important (I am now talking to the spiritually mature not babies): The angel 'Gabriel' that they claim that he appeared to Muhammad is not the 'Archangel Gabriel' in the Bible. Since we are dealing with nothing but the truth, here it is; that angel that gave Muhammad the message of the Quran is a fallen-angel not the Archangel of the Most High God.

Many have assumed, even the Muslims and Christians, that it is the Archangel Gabriel motioned in the Bible. Archangel Gabriel is not the only angel that has that name of 'Gabriel', since we have many Jesus's all over the world, but one JESUS CHRIST. Therefore, it is only ONE ARCHANGEL named Gabriel, sorry, but not even the one that appeared to Muhammad!

So, in stark contrast to Jesus, Muhammad is viewed as just a Messenger of Islam, a human like anyone else and nothing more! While he is highly revered in Islam, there is no claim of divinity or miraculous resurrection attached to his name.

One of the critical differences between Jesus and Muhammad is that Jesus is acknowledged as divine—God in human form. The Bible is clear about this, as Jesus Himself affirmed His divinity multiple times.

This is really a big deal! Forgiving sins is not something any prophet could do. Even the Pharisees of His day understood that by forgiving sins, Jesus was declaring Himself to be God (Mark 2:7), and they literally stoned Him in the Temple at Jerusalem and accused Him of blasphemy.

So you see, even many other sects and cults of christianity think that Jesus is not God and divine, and refute His Deity. They claim that He is just a prophet nothing more; some go to the extremes of even denying him totally but worship his Father Yahweh, Jehovah. Even His own the Israelites hated and rejected him even today!
