Messianic Prophecy and the Quran: Another Muhammadan Dilemma Members Public

In this post, I am going to show how the Islamic tradition affirms that Jesus was prophesied in the scriptures entrusted to the Jews, and the dilemma this poses for Muslims.

Messianic Prophecy in light Muhammadan Polemics Members Public

Does the Quran Reject Christ’s Eternal Generation? Pt. 2 Members Public

I continue from where I left off (/2020/06/16/does-the-quran-reject-christs-eternal-generation-pt-1/).
