The muslim position on Jesus is particularly interesting -— they preach that he was the second greatest prophet, great man, virgin birth, etc.

But deny he was Diety and deny he was crucified/defeated death.

Being a great teacher is inconsistent with claiming Diety — for that one must either be crazy or a liar (or telling the truth).

The way the muslims get around that is to falsely state Jesus never claims divinity -— and to studiously avoid reading the Christian scriptures that address that point.

Hence why the Bible is banned in muslim countries.

Nicely summarized...

Also, they claim that Jesus was never crucified but that he was “replaced” with someone else or something else in the semblance of a man. They also deny that God grants grace
