Quran Issues
The Quran shows that prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, sinned and needed forgiveness, which contradicts the idea of Jesus being divine.
Quick answer
While the Quran acknowledges the sins of prophets, it does not negate the divinity of Jesus. Christians believe that Jesus, being fully God and fully man, was without sin and thus uniquely qualified to offer salvation. The concept of sin among prophets highlights their humanity, while Jesus' divine nature sets Him apart as the Savior.
