Muslims believe that Paul did not consider Jesus to be God and that he misinterpreted Jesus' teachings.

The Apostle Paul's writings are some of the earliest Christian texts, providing insight into the beliefs of the first Christian communities regarding Jesus Christ. Throughout his epistles, Paul uses language and titles for Jesus that are traditionally reserved for God, such as calling Him 'God our Savior' and attributing divine functions to Him. This seamless integration of Jesus into the divine identity indicates that Paul and the early Christians did not see a distinction between God and Jesus in terms of divinity. For example, Paul refers to the 'gospel of God' and the 'gospel of Christ' interchangeably, which implies that he viewed the message of Jesus as fundamentally linked to God's own revelation. Additionally, Paul's assertion that he received the gospel through revelation from Jesus Christ further emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus in his theology. Thus, the evidence from Paul's writings strongly supports the claim that he believed Jesus to be God, contrary to the Muslim perspective that denies this.
