Jesus and his role in Islam

    I have always wondered if Jesus had a role in Islam. And later i found out (in the history channel) that Jesus in fact did have a role in Islam.


-------But it was not being their lord and savior.------


In fact, it was about just being a prophet. A prophet that preached God's message just like all other prophets before him.

Question i have to ask is,

is Jesus still revered highly in the Islamic faith?

Actually he and other prophets are considered 'Muslim' by some people I know.

Arianism had been pretty well stamped out by the Romans several centuries earlier. After the 2nd council of Nicea they were decleared heretical and persecuted.  Arians survived in Germany up until the 500's sometime, but not in the middle east.

Effectively after the bible had been written and adopted as offical Roman christianity the arian belief (which opposed the bible) began to die out.
Arius i believe was an alexandrian bishop (patriarch?) who held that Constantines bible was wrong.

In Islam Jesus (Hz.Isa (SAW) ) is a muslim prophet sent to earth by Allah.

Originally posted by Nestorian There are manuscripts of scriptures preceding Islam by centuries and after. The consistency of these scriptures (before and after Islam) are roughly 99%. The other 0.1% are grammatical mistakes which have no effect on the message and meaning of the scriptures. There were no imperial councils, perhaps you were referring to ecclesiastical councils on deciding canonical scriptures???   I refer to Islam because I assume you are referring to the changing of particular passages in the scriptures which allegedly refer to Muhammad as 'Ahmad" meaning "Praised one"??   Didn't Islam also have variant versions of the Quran which had to be destroyed too? Was that not an example of an executive order?   And there were no variants of the Gospel I might add, there were pseudigraphical books. They are not variants but unique books in their own right which were not regarded as divinely inspired and therefore non-canonical...but that depends on which sect you are, in which case, there are variant canons, but the books in those variant canons are not variants.   A variant is defined as a change of an original or a version.   The pseudigraphical books don't fit this definition thats why they are labelled as "pseudo-graphia" which implies "doubtful" authorship as many of these books claimed to be written by well known early Christians. They did not change the original versions of any canonical scripture.

I heard Romans were Mithraic during the 2th and 3th centuries. Is there any corelation with the aryans of India and Persia ?
