Sure, but they come somewhat short of acknowledging Christ as the offspring of God.

True. They regard Jesus as a prophet, but they reject any claim of divinity. They consider all the prophets - including Mohammed - to be mortal. I believe the Koran does address Jesus as "the blessed one" and I think that has something to do with the virgin birth.

They do believe that in the Ascension, but they believe Jesus ascended to heaven as a mortal, where he lives to this day. They believe Jesus will return to earth during the end times to complete the remainder of his destiny on earth (and ultimately die as a mortal). BTW, they have their own version of Armageddon, where everyone dies. No rapture. They also believe in a Judgment Day.

They also reject the Christian doctrine of the "Trinity" - they regard it as a form of polytheism. I've got to confess, I have a hard time swallowing that one. Even at the age of 7 or 8, it sounded pretty fishy to me.

who died on the fake cross according to the koran? re: 4:157

Does “Ascension” prove divinity? Secondly, who is this fake jesus in the koran, called Isa & when did he die according to koran? Looks like Isa mentioned in the koran is nothing but the copied “Gospels of Thomas” ... IMHO
