Muslims believe that Jesus is not God and that the Bible does not explicitly state that He is divine.

In the New Testament, both Paul and Peter describe Jesus using language that can only be applied to God. For instance, Titus 2:13 refers to Jesus as 'our great God and Savior,' employing a grammatical construction known as Sharp's rule, which indicates that both titles refer to the same person. This is further supported by similar constructions found in other passages, such as 2 Peter 1:1, where Jesus is again identified as both God and Savior. The consistent use of this structure throughout the New Testament reinforces the assertion of Jesus' divinity. Moreover, biblical scholars like William D. Mounce have provided compelling arguments for this interpretation, noting that the Greek terms for 'God' and 'Savior' are governed by the same article, which, according to Granville Sharp's rule, signifies that they refer to one entity. This grammatical rule is applied consistently in the New Testament, leaving no room for ambiguity regarding Jesus' divine status. Thus, the claim that the Bible does not explicitly state Jesus is divine is contradicted by the clear and repeated affirmations found in the scriptures. The language used by the apostles serves to elevate Jesus to the status of God, affirming His role in salvation and His divine nature, which is central to Christian belief.
