Day 8

J in the Qur'an
You can find out more about the Islam!c perspective on J by reading about him in the Q. Various chapters (suras) and verses are indicated below. J is usually referred to in the Q by the name of Isa. Various titles, roles and activities are attributed to J. Here are a few examples:
1) J is the word of G*d: sura:3:45, 5:46, 110 and 57:27
2) J is the Mess!ah: sura 3:45;4:171;5:17, 72, 75
3)Prophet or a Messenger from G*d: sura:3:49;6:85;19:30;57:27
4)Raised the dead and healed the sick: sura: 3:49;5:110
5)Pure,sinless: sura 19:19
Even if the Q ideas listed above are the same or similar to B!bl!cal ideas, Ms never think of J as being divine or as saving us through his death and resurrection. They think of him as a prophet who brought a book called the "G*spel".
P-ay for the Rangi.
