How can we dispute Islam’s claim that Jesus was only a prophet?
-
Islam teaches that Jesus was merely a prophet. Muslims also have stated that Jesus never claimed that He was divine, that He was God. However, the Gospels do record Jesus’s claims that He was divine. We received and accepted worship from His disciples. His works and His resurrection are evident that Christ was divine and not just a mere good-natured person who had the gift of prophecy.

-
Jesus claimed to be more than a mere prophet; he claimed to be the Son of God who could forgive sins and had authority on earth and heaven. The facts presented by the New Testament are not compatible with this claim.
-
Jesus claimed to be God incarnate. There is much historical evidence for His death and resurrection. He had to come to earth and redeem us because there simply is no other way to God. He fulfilled prophecies, and early believers were martyred for their steadfast faith in Christ!

Secular historians and all Gospels claim about Jesus’ crucifixion. Even He predicted His own crucifixion. Gospels were written a few decades after this event, we can consider them as reliable because many copies were written and distributed through the ancient world, the probabilities of corruption are not considered, because of the reviews on these documents and they have been consistent since that time. Jesus was the lamb God used to pay the sins of the human beings giving us the opportunity to be saved and have eternal life with Him.
