Why do the christians believe that Jesus is god not a Messenger? Answer: Another excellent question. I’ll do my best to answer it for you. First let’s look at how the Qur’an talks about Jesus.

Question: Is Mohamed mentioned in the Bible? Answer: Mohamed was alive six hundred years after Jesus and three hundred years after the Bible was codified.
