But, Infidel, John 17:3 in your book shows Jesus is merely a messenger! And that we should worship Allah as the one god!! And you should be Muslim!!!
Let’s see what the Bible has:
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
NIV John 17:3
At first glance, this seems to match Islam: Jesus being merely a prophet, sent by the only true god, just like Muhammad was sent by Allah.
This is trivially refuted by reading the verse in context:
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
NIV John 17:1-5
As you can see, Jesus prays to the Father, not to Allah, who isn’t a father in the Koran, despite having three daughters and NO son. You can also see that the Son, Jesus, has glory with the Father, “before” the world began – this shows that Jesus existed before his incarnation as Jesus.
In short, Muslims cherry-pick scripture to lie and deceive.
Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran.
