The World's Greatest Chart
#5
RE: The World's Greatest Chart
There is some evidence that the first Christians didn't worship Jesus as a God either.

James Dunn, a leading British New Testament scholar, writes:
Quote:In the light of such reflection and conclusion the particular question, 'Did the first Christians worship Jesus?', can be seen to be much less relevant, less important and potentially misleading. It can be answered simply, or simplistically, even dismissively, with a mainly negative answer. No, by and large the first Christians did not worship Jesus as such. Worship language and practice at times do appear in the New Testament in reference to Christ. But on the whole, there is more reserve on the subject. Christ is the subject of praise and hymn-singing, the content of early Christian worship, more than the one to whom the worship and praise is offered.

At least that supports the Muslim view that Jesus was a Prophet, not God.
