Jesus (pbuh) sending the comforter and being a muslim

Islam teaches Jesus ( pbuh) is a prophet,
Bible teachers say Jesus ( pbuh ) was the son of god, god in the flesh, even go to say that the only way to heaven is through accepting jesus because he died for our sins as the only Saviour for humanity.

but How can that be, lets carefully look into the bible and what Jesus says :

Jesus says in john chapter 16,between verses 5 to 14 ,in which jesus is speaking of someone to come who he himself will send .

ok here they are.

5-but i now go my way to him that sent me and none of you asketh me, whither goest thou ?
6-but because i have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your hearts,

7-nevertheless i tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that i go away, for if i go not away, the comforter will not come 8-unto you, but if i depart, I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU
9-and when he come, he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment

10-Of sin, because they believe not on me,
11-Of righteousnesses, because i go to my father and ye see me no more
12-of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged
13-I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now

14-Howbeit when HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME , HE WILL GUIDE YOU UNTO ALL TRUTH, FOR HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF, BUT WHATSOEVER HE SHALL HEAR ,THAT HE SHALL SPEAK AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME

15-HE SHALL GLORIFY ME, FOR HE SHALL RECEIVE OF MINE AND SHALL SHOW IT UNTO YOU.

That description of the coming spirit of light , which jesus himself will send ,Is no other then the prophet Mohammad ( pbuh ).

He didn't speak from his own words, but whatever he heard. The Quran that Mohammad brought to humanity, speaks of Jesus (pbuh) second to Moses (pbuh) and the Blessed mother Mary ( pbuh) also has a chapter named after her.

Islam and the Quran

The Quran referred to Jesus (pbuh) with three descriptions. 1- The word of God 2- The spirit of God 3- The son of Mary (pbuh)

Accuses the few evil Jews who where manipulating God's promise to them and were among the unbelievers.
Confirms he was the sent Messiah to the Jews.
Confirms he was also a Jew. Confirms of his Miracles and even attributes a great miracle which many Christians would not know and that he spoke from birth.
He was the reason why Mary was not treated so harsh for having a child with out being married. Jesus(pbuh) spoke from birth to defend his Mother and confirm of his miracle creation and birth.

The Quran explains

At length she brought,The (babe) to her people,Carrying him (in her arms).They said: "O Mary!Truly an amazing thing Hast thou brought!

"O sister of Aaron!Thy father was notA man of evil, nor thy Mother a woman unchaste!"

But she pointed to the babe.They said: "How can we Talk to one who is A child in the cradle?"

He said: "I am indeed A servant of Allah: He hath given me Revelation and made me A prophet;

"And He hath made me Blessed wheresoever I be, And hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long As I live:
"(He) hath made me kind To my mother, and not Overbearing or miserable;

"So Peace is on me The day I was born, The day that I die, And the Day that I Shall be raised up To life (again)"!

Such (was) Jesus the son Of Mary: (it is) a statement Of truth, about which They (vainly) dispute. Qur'an 19: 16-34

Jesus is a very common name used among Muslims all across the world.

Who else in the history of mankind did what Mohammad has done ??

Most influencial people in history

Interested yet or want more ?

this might help understand why Muslims cant accept Jesus (pbuh) to be the son of god or god in the flesh. see even in the bible Jesus speaks of his successor to come, in which He will send himself who else could Jesus (pbuh) be sending, for a fact he is not sending himself back .

Al Quran describes Allah/God to be beyond any Image and Powerful beyond comprehension.

The 10 Commandments are broken every day and not many realize this fact. The first two crucial Commandments, Lets take a look

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.( It's fair to say this commandment makes it Clear that God is first, not even a supposed son can equal to God). kind of like saying the first part of the Islamic Shihada/testmony of faith
which is La ila ella Allah, which translated to there is no god but God or in the christian text You shall have no other gods before me)

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' ( How many christians and Churchs do we know of that have images, ect that attribute to God supposedly, and heaven as well ).

This speaks for itself as well. Something else that is very interesting to me and I think its very important to share with all of the readers here and that is Jesus (pbuh) in the bible in many occasions have spoken the words in which every Muslim greets another, alsallam alaykem or peace be unto you

for example

Genesis 43:23 "And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them."

Judges 6:23 "And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die."

1 Samuel 25:6 "And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast."

Luke 24:36 "And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."

John 20:19 ".....came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."

John 20:26 "........then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you."

i don't remember ever seeing one Christian greet another with peace be unto you or alsallam alaykem ??
how come if Jesus himself said that to his people ???

Honest opinions are needed,

have a great day all and peace be upon you, or unto you ,which is the same thing really Alsallam Alaykem
