  10. JESUS: “Man, myth or god?” The following Video is a recitation from the Quran, (Surah Maryam). It is a chapter dedicated to the mother of Jesus Christ, Mary. The video shows how closely linked are Islam, Judaism and Christianity and at the same time how different! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc3UY_CNF7k#t=118 The key prophet whose existence and role is greatly debated by the 3 religions is Jesus Christ (P.B.U.H) The Jews reject him as being a prophet and brand him a liar and imposter. In Islam Isa (A.S) is no more than a prophet of god. Christians have different views within the different denominations but overall Jesus is believed to be either “God in a Trinity” or “The Son Of God”.
