Judaism and Islam: Incompatible? Pt 2-Jesus

One of the clearest distinctions between Judaism and Islam is the position of Jesus in each. Contrary to popular belief, the Talmud does not degrade Jesus. There are three separate people named Yeshu in the Talmud, but none of them were at the same time period or shared any life details with Jesus son of Mary. Islam supports the Q Gospel idea; that is, the idea that the original teachings of Jesus were lost and that the gospels we have today are a corrupted version of them. As many of my viewers know, on my old GbJew account I made many videos explaining why Jesus could not be the messiah. As of the date of this article's publishing, they are still up for educational purposes. I have been asked how I reconcile my previous disbelief in Jesus with Islam, which is a valid question. At this point in my life, I am not very interested in eschatology. Additionally, Islam's Messiah is much more able to complete the messianic prophecies than the Christian Jesus. For example, in Islam Jesus is neither God nor God's son. Islam unequivocally denies the possibility of God begetting or being begotten. Thus Islam does not accept the belief that Jesus was God incarnate, part of the triune God, or the son of God . Islam does not believe in the atoning death of Jesus. Islam does not create a need for God to kill himself or anyone else for man's sins. It does not hold the doctrine of a "sin nature" from which man must be delivered. It does not hold that any man is "perfect" in the Christian sense of the idea of the "sinless Jesus." The final extremely difficult issue for me was Jesus as messiah. As I pointed out in a video on my GbJew channel, the last eight chapters of Ezekiel are very troubling to Christian eschatology. They deal with the life of the Messiah the Prince, often in boring details. They discuss in great detail the animal sacrifices he will offer in the final temple, a temple which has not yet been built. On that note: I am aware that the ownership of the Temple Mount is a very sensitive issue for both Muslims and Jews. I believe a new Temple will be built; I believe it will be according to the dimensions found in the book of Ezekiel, about as large as the current city of Jerusalem is. However, I do NOT believe that Jews may or will destroy al Aqsa. The prophets forbid destruction on the Temple Mount: "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain." (Isa. 65:25, 11:9) Instead, the city will be destroyed by an earthquake. (Haggai 2:6, Joel 4:16, Isa. 29:6). The earthquake will open a river flooding Jerusalem. The river will destroy the disbelievers who have fought the Messiah the Prince and then will become a river for healing and for cleansing for the survivors (Dan. 9:26). The river will temporarily flood the city, then will flow into the Dead Sea, bringing it life. (Eze. 47:8) The river will be a source of commerce, being miraculously filled with aquatic life. (Eze. 47:9) Then the Temple will be a house of prayer for all people (Isa 56:7). Every new moon and every Sabbath, all flesh will come worship God in Jerusalem (Isa. 66:23). All mankind will be united in worship of God and in service of the Messiah the Prince. In that Temple, the Messiah the Prince will offer sacrifices as described in the last eight chapters of Ezekiel. In Christian theology this is extremely problematic, as Jesus was the final sacrifice according to the author of Hebrews. Most Christians today believe that because Jesus was the final sacrifices, it is sinful to offer sacrifices; this tramples underfoot the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. Islam does not believe in the atoning death of Jesus and therefore takes no issue with the continued offering of animal sacrifices. The 46th chapter of Ezekiel discusses at length the property rights of the Prince's sons in relation to his servants. The Prince's portion of the land in Ezekiel is a plot adjacent to the new Temple, and of the same dimensions. In Christian teaching, Jesus did not have any children while on this earth and most certainly did not give them the land described as the Prince's in Ezekiel. Further, Jesus said in the Christian scriptures that the dead, when they are resurrected, do not marry nor are they given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven. Therefore, according to Christianity, Jesus is not capable of having children to give the land to. Thus, it was pointless for God to write a passage about the Messiah's children. I doubt Christians want to accuse God of either lying, of not knowing His own plan for the salvation of humanity, or of writing something He had no plan to fulfill. In Islam, however, the problem disappears because Jesus did not die and was not resurrected. He continues to live, like Elijah, and will return to earth, marry, have children, and die. Thus the Muslim Jesus does not clash with the Jewish scriptures.
