So I read the entire thread and I would like to add a point which my Muslim brothers and sisters did not mention here about why we believe Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) was a Prophet and not God
Firstly the concept of "Tawheed" or oneness of God is the most fundamental principle of islam one part of this Principle is that God is not "begotten" nor does he "beget" Allah says in the Quran:

Allah when he talks about Christians in the Quran he mentions this point again and again that the Christians say that Allah has taken a "son" that Allah "beget" someone which is a blasphemy against God because God is above all of this he does not need to "beget" someone he does not have a need for a "family" or a "partner" when he wishes to do something he "Commands be and it is"

this is also a proof that Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) was a mere human and not a divine entity. Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) was born from the womb of Mary (peace be upon her) if he was divine as Christians believe why did he need to have a mother? Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) was dependent on his mother like any other child he ate and drank like any other human do you believe that God the almighty would need to be dependent on a human to be born into this world? Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) was born from the womb of a human woman, he went through the same 9 month cycle that all children go through would he need to be born in this way if he was divine? Would he need to be dependent on a mother to take care of him in his infancy? Prophet Isa's (peace be upon him) virgin birth was a miracle but he still had a mother. Adam was born without a father or mother why did God not create Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) in the same way? Christians this is a point to ponder on and my brothers and sisters have already talked about the fundamental problems with the triune concept. I am not going to argue with you or try to convince you into becoming Muslims because the Almighty God is the one who gives guidance my sole duty is to provide the message of Allah to you and the rest is between you and God if you stick to your beliefs fine by me I have fulfilled my duty for which I will be questioned on the day of judgement.
There is no doubt that Jesus (Isa), the mortal human son born of the virgin body of Mary, was a Prophet. It says so throughout Scripture, in the Old Covenant, New Covenant and in the Koran (Quran).
Similarly, there is no doubt that Jesus was
NOT God, and we have that straight from the mouth of Jesus hundreds of times, throughout the Gospel accounts that quote Him (which are the Gospel of Jesus (Injeel), despite false claims to the contrary). There is no "trinity" (
John 14:28,
John 20:17,
Rev. 3:12,
Sura 4:171), as is
wrongly taught in Roman Catholicism and most of the protestant denominations/sects to which the RCC gave birth.
Further, there is no doubt that God, Who is a Spirit-Being (
John 4:24) does
NOT have a consort (i.e. there is no "queen of heaven" -
Jer. 44:17-25) and does
NOT beget
HUMAN sons.
However, God did
CREATE the Angels, aka "the Sons of God" (
Job 1:6,
2:1), who are likewise
immortal spiritual-Beings, just as God is a Spiritual-Being. The very first spirit-Being that God created is (Prince) Michael (
Dan. 10:21,
12:1,
Rom. 8:29,
Col. 1:12-15,
Rev. 3:14) , known here on Earth as The Messiah/Christ. It is
through Prince Michael/Christ that God (Father, the "I AM", Allah) created the everything and everyone else.
John 1:10 He (Christ) was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world (humans) knew him not (could not
SEE him inside the body of Jesus).
Hebrews 1:1-4
1:1 God, Who at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the Prophets,
1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [His] Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also He made the worlds;
1:3 Who being the brightness of [His] glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by The Word of His power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of His Majesty on high;
1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath
by inheritance (being the firstborn/first-created Son of God) obtained a more excellent name than they.
Colossians 1:12-15
1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, Which hath made us meet to be sharers of the inheritance of the holy people in Light:
1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into The Kingdom of His dear Son (Prince Michael/Christ):
1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood (Jesus, Whom Christ incarnated/"strengthened"), [even] the forgiveness of sins:
1:15 Who is
the image of the
invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature:
The virgin birth is confirmed in the Koran/Quran [Sura 19 (Mary)], as is the fact that Isa (Jesus), the mortal human son of Mary, was "strengthened" (incarnated by) the immortal Spirit-Being Prince Michael/Christ (the Holy Spirit/Comforter).
Sura 2:87. We gave Moses The Book (The Torah – The Law) and followed him up with a succession of Apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs)
AND STRENGTHENED HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (CHRIST – John 14:15-19). Is it that whenever there comes to you an Apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay (
Matt. 21:33-46)!
Sura 2:253. Those Apostles We endowed with gifts, some above others: to one of them God spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs),
AND RE-INFORCED HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (THE SPIRIT-BEING CHRIST –
John 16:7-16). If God had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (
chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If God had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but God fulfilleth His Plan.
Sura 5:113. Then will "I AM" say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold!
I STRENGTHENED THEE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (CHRIST), so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold!
I taught thee The Book (The Torah and Prophets –
John 7:15-17,
Sura 7:157-158) and Wisdom (
John 5:20), The Law (The Torah –
John 5:46-47) and The Gospel (
Mark 1:14-15) and behold! Thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird,
by My leave, thou breathest into it (
Gen. 2:7), and it becometh a bird
by My leave, and thou healest those born blind (
John 9), and the lepers (
Luke 7:22),
by My leave (
John 3:35). And behold! Thou bringest forth the dead
by My leave (
John 5:21). And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the Clear Signs (
Luke 4:16-30), and the Unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but sorcery' (
Mark 6:1-6).
It is blasphemously taught in most sects of "Islam" that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the Holy Spirit/Comforter, which is not true.
IF “Muslims” actually did God's Will (Islam), and read the Bible as He has
COMMANDED them to do, they would see for themselves Who the Comforter/Holy Spirit really is:
CHRIST (
John 14:15-19,
16:7-16),
Who is mentioned directly or indirectly over 300 times in the Koran.
John 16:7, 13-16
16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the Truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU.
16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will GUIDE you into all Truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
16:14
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show [it] unto you.
16:15
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show [it] unto you.
16:16
A little while, and ye shall not see me (3 days and 3 nights): and AGAIN, a little while (after the Ascension), and ye SHALL see me, BECAUSE I go to the Father.
John 14:17-18
14:17
[Even] the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
14:18
I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU.
These passages alone, if carefully studied, asking for God's Holy Spirit for guidance, prove beyond any reasonable doubt, that the world's two largest organized religions -- "Christianity" and "Islam"
both have it wrong. It should also clear up the common misconception in "Islam" about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, which could not possibly have killed the immortal Spirit-Being Christ incarnated inside of Jesus, exactly as it says in
Sura 4:157-159.
