Quote:
Son of God is a euphemism. Jesus is not literally God's son anymore than any of you are citizens of the United States.
The Koran tells how Allah anointed Jesus, through a virgin birth to be the Messiah - Savior of the world, nearly five hundred and fifty years before Muhammad was born.
Muslims believe the Koran was written by God and is God's message to all people. If Jesus is what the Koran teaches he is/was, it is impossible for Muhammad to have replaced Jesus. There can be only one Messiah.
Jesus did the Messiah's work (opening heaven) 550 years before Islam's Prophet was born.

No where in the Qur'an does it say that Jesus was the son of God or Savior of the world. Muhammad did not replace Jesus, but brought the last part of His message to humanity (Islamic belief).
In the Qur'an, it does say that Isa (Jesus) was an apostle of God. Perhaps you missed some of the information in my past posts mainly:
Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryam_%28sura%29
Actually, in this sura, God describes those who say that Isa was the Son of God as saying something blasphemous, as God is the omnipotent creator and all the creatures in earth and in heaven are God's servants. Maryam is venerated as "the Lady of the women of the world" (سيدة نساء العالمين) but not as the mother of God.
Rottwieler, I am curious. Do you actually have a Qur'an? Have you read one? I am quite sure if you searched the Qur'an or talked to any Islamic scholar, neither source would substantiate any of the claims that have been made in this thread as to the Qur'an saying that Jesus was the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
These paraphrasings of the source cites fail to even pull the original citations from the book coupled with the adding of foreign phrases not even in the verses.
