Answering the Muslim question: Is Jesus (Isa/Yeshua) the Son of Allah? Muslims usually say No, but God says Yes. Matthew 3:16-17 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased. Hebrews 5:5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Notice the timing of Gods declaration, its not at the birth of Jesus, but instead its after the Holy Spirit has joined with Jesus, this tells you that Jesus was NOT the physical son of God, he was the spiritual son of God. When you understand this, you see that both the Quran and the Gospels are correct. The Quran speaks of Jesus physical relationship to God, but the Gospels speak of his spiritual relationship to God. This is why Muslims are commanded to read the Gospels (Sura 5.68), because if they only read the Quran, they only learn part of the truth. Those who only know part of the truth, often speak blasphemy against Allah and Jesus out of ignorance of the facts. So follow the command of Sura 5.68, and learn the Gospel (Injeel) also. Sura 5.68 Say: O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord. It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not over (these) people without Faith. quran/5/68
