However, I do not understand the Muslim stance on Jesus. The Bible indicates that Jesus is Lord, Jesus preformed many miracles, Jesus is God, Jesus died on the cross to save the world, Jesus is the Messiah, etc.. Jesus is mentioned in the Qur'an, and I have never heard a rejection from Muslims of Jesus' teachings. I am wondering, do Muslims believe that Jesus lied when he said (John 14:6) "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."? Or do Muslims believe Jesus was telling the Truth?
