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.

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.“

Luke 7:16 “Then fear came upon all, and they
glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up

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.
www.knowmuhammad.org
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.
www.knowmuhammad.org
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
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.
