The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
Jesus was ONLY a messenger and not THE messenger. There is a big difference since Islam believes that Jesus was another prophet.
Please show us the Arabic word "only"...

Further, please show us the Arabic word(s) rendered as ..."far is it removed from his transcendent majesty"...

Good luck.

My passages are from an Islamic site.
No surprise here.

Since when is Islam the same as the Koran...?

Where exactly are you getting yours from?
From the classic Arabic.

Of course most would take it for word. I know better. Usually passages like that are misinterpreted by reader error.
Most never bother to study the classic Arabic...
