Muslims believe that Jesus is not the Son of God and that he is not equal to God.

The Apostle Paul clearly states in Philippians 2:5-8 that Jesus existed in the very nature of God, which affirms his equality with the Father. Paul explains that Jesus did not cling to his divine privileges but willingly chose to become a servant by taking on human likeness. This act does not diminish his divinity but rather showcases his humility and obedience to the Father, culminating in his sacrificial death on the cross. Furthermore, the distinction between the 'morphe' of God and the 'schema' of man, as explained by William Barclay, reinforces the belief that while Jesus took on human form, his essential nature remains divine. This understanding is consistent with the teachings of Jesus himself, who affirmed his divine identity and role as the Son of God throughout the Gospels.
