Here is an Islamic education moment from Christopher Logan. Many Muslims claim they respect Jesus to Christians. The implication is that Christians and Muslims revere the same person.
Logan goes out of his to insinuate that Muslims openly deceive Christians. The Muslim Jesus and the Christian Jesus are about the same as water mixing with oil. However, I think Logan is a bit off base to imply that Muslims as a whole group deceive Christians.
Muslims simply believe the Quran as the divine word of Allah and regard the Bible as writings that have been drifting into error at points that disagree with the Quran. Except for a few similar stories the Quran and the Bible have zero in common as to the message of love viewed through the Christian perspective. Even the similar Quranic stories are obviously skewed alterations from the Biblical account that was written WAY BEFORE Mohammed put it to voice and someone’s memory put it into writing. Even the New Testament had taken its final form before Mohammed was born. Thus the Quranic/Biblical similarities were created by Mohammed to entice Jews and Christians to accept his prophethood as authentic and the express will of God.
Hence I don’t believe Muslims set out to deceive Christians about Jesus in da’wah anymore than Christians will use the same “Jesus” strategy to convince Muslims in evangelism.
However, the Jesus in the Bible is the Prince of Peace and a person of the Godhood. The Jesus of the Quran is a man subservient to Mohammed that apparently will come back to life with Mohammed to terminate Judaism and Christianity by converting them to Islam or dying.
The Quranic Jesus offers Christians death while the Biblical Jesus offers Christians and ALL who believe willingly LIFE. Those who refuse to believe in Jesus have condemned them self without the hand of man killing them.
Here is Christopher Logan’s explanation that the Quranic Jesus is not the Biblical Jesus of Christianity.
