A Question for Islam followers

Follows of Islam are usually ready to acknowledge Jesus was a prophet.

This is problematic for them, and there's one question that drives straight to the heart of the issue: Would a prophet claim to be God?

Most prophets are not God, and agreement about that nearly universal. The question then becomes: Did Jesus claim to be God? Yes.

For anyone who claims he did not, a simple question naturally follows: Then what got Him killed?

Islam cannot have it both ways. Jesus cannot both be a prophet and not God. He claimed to be God, so if He was not, then He is no prophet either.

This question, of course is not limited to followers of Islam. It’s relevant to anyone who says Jesus was a good teacher but do not believe in Him as their Savior.
