The early believers addressed Jesus as a prophet in

the Bible.

No mention in the bible that Jesus is a god.

If Jesus had been a god, people would have

addressed him as a god.

The concept of the atoning-god savior was

borrowed from the early religions that were

prevalent at that time.

Matthew 16:13-14: “When Jesus came into the

region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples,

saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man,

am?" So they said, "Some say John the Baptist,

some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the

prophets.“

Note that none of them said that Jesus is God.

prophet.

god.

John 7:40-41 “Therefore many from the crowd, when

they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the

Prophet." V.41 Others said, "This is the Christ."

In no single verse did Jesus corrected people’s opinion

saying “ No, I am not a prophet, I am a god or a part

of trinity “

Peter stood up with the eleven disciples and

addressed the crowd saying: “Men of Israel, listen to

this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God

to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did

among you through him, as you yourselves know.”

(Acts 2:22).

Peter, one of the closest disciples to Jesus, affirms

that Jesus was just a man whom God supported by

miracles and signs. www.knowmuhammad.org

For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God. Peter said:

“God raised up his servant...” (Acts 3:26).

Once more, Jesus stresses that Jesus was nothing

more than a servant who worshipped God.

Peter declared: “The God of Abraham, Isaac and

Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his

servant Jesus.” (Acts 3:13).

It is clear that Peter was interested in proving to

people that Jesus was no more than a servant.

All of the disciples of Jesus held this view. In Acts

4:24 we are told that the believers prayed to God

saying:

“...they raised their voices together in prayer to God.

‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the heaven

and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.’” 

www.knowmuhammad.org

Page 15: Jesus is a prophet in the bible

It is clear that the one they were praying to was not

Jesus, because, two verses later, they referred to

Jesus as “...your holy servant Jesus, whom you

anointed.” (Acts 4:27).

: “Day after day, in the temple courts and from house

to house, they never stopped teaching and

proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.” 

(Acts 5:42).www.knowmuhammad.org

In fact there is no single verse that shows that Jesus

is a god or a part of trinity, in the same time, as

shown, there are several verses that stress the fact

that Jesus is just a prophet.
