The religion that views Jesus as a major prophet (Isa) is Islam, where he's revered as the Messiah, born of a virgin, and a messenger of God (Allah) before Muhammad, though Muslims don't believe he was divine or crucified. Other faiths like some branches of Judaism and Unitarian Universalism also see him as a prophet or teacher, but Islam holds him in particularly high esteem alongside prophets like Abraham and Moses.
Islam regards its teachings to be a re-affirmation and culmination of the teachings of previous monotheistic religions like Judaism and Christianity. Hence, all Muslims believe in Moses and Jesus as Prophets of Almighty God.
Islam teaches that Jesus (Isa) was one of the most important prophets of God and was a human being. Muslims do not believe that he was the Son of God, nor that he is divine or part of a triune God as Christians believe.
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh (John 3:16). We accept the prophetic declarations in the Old Testament that refer directly and powerfully to the coming of the Messiah, the Savior of all humankind. We believe that Jesus of Nazareth was and is the fulfillment of those prophecies.
The short answer: Judaism does not consider Jesus to be a prophet, the messiah, or the son of God. But the exact way Jews have spoken about Jesus has, throughout history, had a lot to do with the social and political contexts where they were living.
The Mesha Stele bears the earliest known reference (840 BCE) to the Israelite god Yahweh. The name of God used most often in the Hebrew Bible is the Tetragrammaton (Hebrew: יהוה, romanized: YHWH). Jews traditionally do not pronounce it, and instead refer to God as HaShem, literally "the Name".
Jesus is the prophet behind all the Old Testament prophets. He is linked with them because they all spoke God's words. But He is differentiated from them in that He stands supreme as the ultimate prophet. Jesus also fulfilled His prophetic function in His earthly ministry.
Jesus is the Incarnate Word, the God-man (see John 1:1-3, 14). He thus cannot help but be a true prophet and indeed the greatest ever.
Matthew 21:11-13 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Some asked, “Who is this man?” And the crowds shouted back, “This is Jesus! He's the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee!” Upon entering Jerusalem Jesus went directly into the temple area and drove away all the merchants who were buying and selling their goods.
Members believe that God, whom they believe is their Heavenly Father, desires to bless them, and that Jesus Christ, whom they believe to be the only begotten son of God in the flesh, advocates before God on their behalf. Prayers are not offered to anyone other than God the Father.
Religious Reasons Most Jewish People Do Not Believe in Jesus
Many rabbis and religious leaders believe that Jesus cannot be the Messiah because he did not fulfill the job requirements: “Judaism does not believe that Jesus was the Messiah because he did not fulfill any messianic prophecies.
The Islamic scholars claim that the Qur'an does not accept foreign terms, and that their forefathers used to convert any foreign name into Arabic to make it easier to understand, so they turned “Jesus” into “Isa”.
Prophet Muhammad said: “Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.” “Behold! The angels said: 'O Mary!
In Islam, Jesus is the Messiah , a human prophet who will return to usher in the end times. In Baha'i , Jesus is one of many prophets who have progressively revealed religious teachings from God. In Druzism, Jesus is the preeminent prophet who reincarnated as their founder, Hamza ibn Ali.
Muhammad ( c. 570 – 8 June 632 CE) was an Arab religious, military and political leader, as well as the founder of Islam. According to Islam, he was a prophet who was divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets.
Unlike the Christian view of the death of Jesus, most Muslims believe he was raised to Heaven without being put on the cross and God created a resemblance to appear exactly like Jesus who was crucified instead of Jesus, and he ascended bodily to Heaven, there to remain until his Second Coming in the End days.
Some do not believe that Jesus is God, instead believing that he was a messenger from God, or prophet, or the perfect created human. This is the view espoused by ancient sects such as the Ebionites, and modern-day Unitarians.
They take the approach that oldest must be nearest to the original and therefore the most reliable. The oldest manuscripts do not include Matthew 17:21 (and omit “fasting” in the parallel verse at Mark 9:29). So English translations based on the oldest Greek manuscripts follow suite.
In this way Luke presents a master plan to describe Jesus as "prophet" from his earliest ministry to his resurrection, when the risen Jesus fulfills the role of the Prophet like Moses in Acts 3:22 and 7:37.
Judaism. Judaism rejects the idea of Jesus being God, or a person of a Trinity, or a mediator to God. Judaism also holds that Jesus is not the Messiah, arguing that he had not fulfilled the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh nor embodied the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
We do know that Jesus said He existed before Abraham (John 8:58). He claimed that He and His Father are one (John 10:30), and that He is equal with the Father (John 5:17-18). Not only did He claim to be God, but He also claimed to have the power of God.
The Great Schism of 1054, also known as the 'East-West Schism,' divided Christianity, creating Western Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Although 1054 is the official date of this divide, tensions between the East and the West had been brewing for years.
In Christianity, the last prophet of the Old Covenant before the arrival of Jesus is John the Baptist (cf. Luke 16:16). The Eastern Orthodox Church holds that Malachi was the "Seal of Prophets" in the Old Testament.
In Christianity, you pray to God (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), but the common pattern is to pray to the Father through Jesus (the Son) in the power of the Holy Spirit, as Jesus is the mediator, yet you can also speak directly to Jesus or the Spirit as distinct persons of the Trinity, as they are one God. Jesus taught to pray to the Father (e.g., The Lord's Prayer), but the Bible also shows people praying directly to Jesus (e.g., Stephen, Paul), and praying to any person of the Trinity is praying to God.
Throughout his Gospel Luke describes Jesus as a prophet sent by God. Hebrew prophets were opposed, rejected, and often killed by the people to whom they were sent. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus presents himself as a prophet and knows he will die as one.
