Beware of Anti-Christ

I have noticed a very interesting thing. There are Jews pretending to be "Western Christians" on social sites & calling Muslims Anti-Christ for not accepting Jesus as “God”. What do Muslims believe about Jesus? It is true that Muslims don’t accept Jesus as “God” but Muslims have deep respect for Jesus. The Quran says:

·         Jesus is the servant or slave of God (The Quran 19:30)
·         Jesus is a prophet of God (The Quran 19:30)
·         Jesus is blessed (The Quran 19:31).
·         Jesus is the son of Maryam (The Quran 5:46)
·         Jesus is a Messiah or Christ (The Quran 4:157)
·         Jesus is pure (The Quran 19:19)
·         Jesus is the spirit of God (The Quran 21:91)
·         Jesus is the word of God (The Quran 3:45)

Note that all of the titles of Jesus in the Quran sound good to Western Christians except “the servant or slave of God”. The words like “Slave” and “Servant” have negative connotation to the minds of Western people because of the recent history of slavery and colonialism in North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

In the Middle Eastern tradition, “the slave of God” is an honorable term used by people to refer to a pious man or a man of God. For example, Prophet Muhammad’s father name was “Abdullah” which means “the servant or slave of God”. Prophet Muhammad’s family (Quraish) was the most noble and politically powerful family in the City of Mecca. And Prophet Muhammad’s grandfather Abdul Muttalib was the prime leader and the most powerful person of the city. Why did the prime leader name his son “Abdullah” (=the servant or slave of God) if it was an insulting name?

The Wikipedia.com says: Servant of God is a title given to individuals by various religions, and in general it is a person believed to be pious in his or her faith tradition. In the Catholic Church, it designates someone who is being investigated by the Church for possible sainthood. In the Eastern Orthodox churches, this term is used to refer to any Eastern Orthodox Christian. The Arabic name Abdullah (عبد الله, 'Abd Allah "slave of god"); the Hebrew name Obadiah (עובדיה) and the German name Gottschalk mean "servant of god".

To sum up, Jesus has honorable titles in the Quran. But what do Jewish scriptures say about Jesus? It says: “Jesus is in hell, being boiled in hot excrement” (Talmud: Gittin 57a). By the way, did I tell you that Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus but Jews do not? Jews believe the mother of Jesus committed adultery and delivered Jesus as an illegitimate child. Gospel says: "Jesus said (to the Jews): You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire." (John 8, 43-44). The Christian Gospel doesn’t like Jews either. Gospel says: "The Jews killed Jesus. They are displeasing to God and hostile to mankind." (1 Thessalonians 2:15)

Both Jews and Muslims don’t accept Jesus as “God”. But no doubt Jews are not even close to Muslims to honor Jesus. Jewish scriptures insult Jesus, let alone honoring Jesus. On the other hand, the title of Jesus found in Muslim scriptures are very honorable. If not accepting Jesus makes Muslims “Anti-Christ”, then Jews are bigger Anti-Christ than Muslims.
