We Must Answer: Five Fundamental Muslim Questions about Jesus Christ

By Filda Siahaya

WHY MUST WE ANSWER?
There are questions about Jesus that we must not avoid.
In an increasingly open and interconnected society, Christians are more frequently confronted with questions from our Muslim brothers and sisters:
Who is Jesus really?
Among the most important questions are: Did Jesus ever say, "I am God; worship Me"?Has the Bible Been Corrupted?Was Jesus really crucified?Was Jesus a Muslim?Why did Jesus pray if He is God?These are not trivial questions.
For Christians, the question of Jesus' identity is not merely a theological issue. The Christian faith stands upon the person of Jesus Christ. Therefore, when the identity of Jesus is questioned,
We must answer.
But what does it mean to answer?
To answer does not mean forcing our beliefs upon others. To answer means presenting and defending the truth as it is written: "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32
The responsibility to give an answer is also expressed by the Apostle Peter:
"But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you." - 1 Peter 3:15
This verse establishes an important principle:
Believers must be prepared to give an answer.
Yet Peter does not stop with the ability to provide arguments. He continues by instructing believers to give that answer "with gentleness and respect."
Therefore, this book is written to encourage Christians to have the courage to face difficult questions.
QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD NOT BE FEARED
There are times when Christians feel uncomfortable or even afraid when a Muslim asks questions about Jesus.
For example: "Show me one verse where Jesus said, 'I am God.'" : Or: "Wasn't Jesus a Muslim?"
Questions such as these can sometimes cause a conversation to end with a simple statement of faith:
"Jesus is God because the Bible says so."
But for someone who is genuinely seeking an answer, such a statement may not be sufficient.
We also need to understand the linguistic, cultural, and historical context of His time.
A person's identity can be revealed through words, actions, authority, titles, and the manner in which others respond to that person.
Therefore, if we want to know who Jesus truly is, we must not isolate one verse while ignoring the broader testimony of the Scriptures that speak about Him.
WHY MUST MUSLIM QUESTIONS BE ANSWERED?
We must answer because these questions exist, and because confusion concerning the identity of Jesus can have profound consequences for Christian faith. Many Christians become uncertain or even shaken in their faith

FIVE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS
This book will examine five central questions:
Did Jesus Ever Say, "I Am God; Worship Me"?2. Has the Bible Been Corrupted?
3. Was Jesus Crucified?
4. Was Jesus a Muslim?
5. Why Did Jesus Pray If He Is God?
These five questions are interconnected.
We cannot properly answer the question of whether Jesus should be worshiped without first examining who Jesus is.
Likewise, we cannot understand why Jesus prayed to the Father without first examining the relationship between Jesus and the Father.
.
We must also ask:
Why do Muslims question these matters? What does Islam teach about Jesus? What did Muhammad teach about Jesus in the Qur'an and Hadith? Are there fundamental differences between Muhammad's teaching about Jesus and the testimony of the New Testament?
