I suspect if a conclusion were that simple, or cut and dry, the argument would not be 2000 years old. Based on their own Scriptural interpretation, Islam believes that Jesus was a Great Prophet and Messenger of God. I simply suggested that the issue of Jesus as Prophet or Messenger did warrant debate and consideration, imo. Of course, that's a debate Christians and Jews will never have because Jesus as Prophet (or Messenger of God) strikes the at the heart of both Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity, and is therefore "blasphemy".... It would seem that while "faith" requires an "open mind", "religion" requires a narrower view... Or something like that.....
