A scene from the gospels - Matthew 3

"And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

So this, to me, has always been a convoluted and twisted teaching which is contradictory to the words in the verses. Not "this is me". Separate.

The Quran: defines Jesus as a messenger to the Jewish people who they rejected resulting in their punishment. Jesus was more than a messenger however as it is mentioned that he witnesses against unbelievers at judgment. The Quran also states that God was not begotten nor begets. It says God creates what He wills.

"Verily, the likeness of ‘Iesa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: “Be!” – and he was."

Comparable to Adam. No conception, no Godly DNA - created.

Which erupted an argument in another thread. Not the intention here. The intention here is: Scrolling through every single mention of Jesus, in your book, he seems to be something different than what is taught here. So these verses I think should be broken down one by one so that He can be understood for who He was and what he was sent to teach and do.

wii - that is not my memory of how the quran treats the conception and birth of Jesus. I am at work and do not have time to research, but what passage is that and what about the other passages that speak of his birth?
