Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet and not God incarnate, as Christianity claims.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus makes numerous claims about His divine origin and authority, asserting that He preexisted with the Father and has the power to grant eternal life. For instance, He states, 'You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world' (John 8:23), which highlights His unique divine nature. Furthermore, Jesus claims the authority to forgive sins, a prerogative that only God possesses, as seen in Mark 2:5-11, where His opponents recognize this claim as blasphemous. Additionally, Jesus refers to Himself as the 'Son of Man,' a title that, while emphasizing His humanity, also connects Him to divine authority as depicted in Daniel 7:13-14. This duality of His identity is crucial in understanding the Christian perspective of Jesus as both fully God and fully man. Moreover, during His trial, when asked if He is the Son of God, Jesus affirms, 'Yes, I am' (Luke 22:70), further solidifying His claim to divinity. The consistent biblical narrative supports the understanding that Jesus did not merely see Himself as a prophet but as the incarnate Word of God, who has the authority to reveal the Father to humanity.
