Bible Verses Suggesting Jesus Is a Prophet, Not God
Some Muslims hold that Islam is the only true faith and believe salvation is reserved for those who die within it. They argue that certain Bible passages present Jesus as God’s messenger rather than God Himself. Here are ten verses often cited in support of this view: 1. John 14:28 – “My Father is greater than I.” 2. John 17:3 – “…they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” 3. Mark 13:32 – “No one knows the day or hour… nor the Son, but only the Father.” 4. Matthew 26:39 – “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me…” 5. John 20:17 – “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” 6. 1 Timothy 2:5 – “There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” 7. Acts 2:22 – “Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God… through him.” 8. 1 Corinthians 11:3 – “The head of Christ is God.” 9. Matthew 24:36 – “No one knows about that day or hour… but only the Father.” 10. Luke 18:19 – “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” Supporters of the Trinity, however, point to verses like John 1:1 and Colossians 2:9 to affirm Jesus’ divinity. Ultimately, the disagreement rests on how these passages are interpreted in their wider biblical context.
