Actually the hate is mutual. Muslims hate Christians and Jews, but Jews deffinetly hate Muslims and Christians and Christians hate Muslims and Jews. Abrahamic religions are the doom of the humanity.

It's all about who the most important prophet is, and anyone that disagrees is wrong and we hate them.

Religion is wild.

To be a bit pedantic but Christians don't believe Jesus was a prophet.

Matthew 21:11

And the crowds replied, “This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Context is key I may have done 12 years of theological studies but I'll be using AI to summarize this

John 8:58: This verse is found in the Gospel of John, where Jesus makes the statement "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Moses and Exodus 3:14: In the Old Testament, God revealed Himself to Moses in a burning bush, declaring, "I AM THAT I AM." This name, often translated as "I am who I am" or "I will be who I will be," is a declaration of God's eternal and self-existent nature, says the Bible Gateway. Jesus's Claim: By saying "before Abraham was, I AM," Jesus is claiming to be the same eternal, self-existent God who revealed Himself to Moses. Context: The statement is made in the context of a discussion with Jewish leaders who were disputing his authority. Implications: This verse is a central pillar of Christian theology, affirming Jesus's divinity and eternal nature. The Jews' Reaction: The people who heard Jesus make this claim were shocked and disturbed, understanding that it was a direct challenge to their understanding of God's identity.

This is what makes him not a prophet.

Thanks for your insight, I will study knto that topic deeper. I duckduckgoed whether Jesus was a prophet and that passage was what I found. I think the main argument for prophecy was that he was making grandeous statements about the future that were fulfilled, thus he fits the definition. But I’m just a casual reader and could be wrong.

I think in the context of this thread it’s amazing we could come up with two differing views so quickly.

I don't see how you've made your point here. Jesus being a prophet isn't mutually exclusive with his being the son of god, or so it would seem to a layperson like myself. If he can be the father, the son, and the holy ghost, it stands to reason he can be a prophet. Lots of hats, I believe he wore.

The key point that I'm trying to make here though is that all of the Jewish profits foretold of the Christ and he was the Christ as far as all the Christians see it. However, all of the Jews and islamists would call him a prophet as they do not believe that he was the Christ.

Really? I'm no expert, but I wouldn't think being the son of god excluded being a prophet.

The whole point of the holy Trinity is that Jesus is God not separate

My personal head Cannon is that God is nth dimensional programmer /scientist and our universe is equivalent to a simulation running on his computer. He built this place. Gave the people some rolls and was flabbergasted that they continually fucked it up and didn't listen to the rules. So then he basically uploads himself to The matrix lives for 30 years experiences humanity and realizes that we are fundamentally fucked and forgives us after merging that slice of his consciousness back into the main consciousness.

Old English Crīst, from Latin Christus, from Greek Khristos, noun use of an adjective meaning ‘anointed’, from khriein ‘anoint’, translating Hebrew māšīaḥ ‘Messiah’
