Why is Jesus Christ acknowledged in other religions?
Isn’t it odd that Jesus' teachings and the life story have influenced the course of history? In Islam, Jesus is the Messiah and one of God's highest-ranked and most-beloved prophets. In the Druze faith, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. The Baháʼí Faith considers Jesus to be one of many manifestations of God, who are a series of personages who reflect the attributes of the divine into the human world. Sikhism views Jesus as a high-ranked Holy man or saint. Jesus was seen as the saviour and bringer of gnosis by various Gnostic sects. The Vietnamese syncretic religion Cao Dai locates Jesus in the celestial Council of Great Spirits that directs the universe. In the Ahmadiyya Islamic view, Jesus survived the crucifixion and later travelled to India, where he lived as a prophet (and died) under the name of Yuz Asaf. According to The Urantia Book, Jesus was one of numerous sons of God named Michael of Nebadon, who took on earthly incarnation. In Raëlism, Jesus and several other religious figures are considered prophets sent by an extraterrestrial race called the Elohim. The Religious Science movement considers Jesus to be a teacher of “Science of Mind”. Hinduism has no established set of beliefs and thus no universal or common view of Jesus. Some Hindus, including religious and political leaders, tend to variously venerate Jesus as either a Āchārya, Sadhu or Avatar. Some Hindus and Hare Krishnas also claim that Jesus was predicted or prophesied in the scripture Bhavishya Purana. |

Druze
Monotheistic Abrahamic religion About Wikipedia The Druze, who call themselves al-Muwahhidun, are an Arab and Arabic-speaking esoteric ethnoreligious group from West Asia who adhere to the Druze faith, an Abrahamic, monotheistic, syncretic, and ethnic religion whose main tenets are the unity of God and the belief in reincarnation and the eternity of the soul. Most Druze religious practices are kept secret. The Druze do not permit outsiders to convert to their religion. Marriage outside of the faith is forbidden. How were the Druze victims of colonialism? |

Try again. Christianity was well-established long before the rise of Islam. Christianity existed in India in Apostolic times. |

Christianity existed in Africa before Europe. The Ethiopian Bible is ancient. The Garima Gospels are three ancient Ethiopic manuscripts containing all four canonical Gospel Books. Monastic tradition holds that the first two were composed close to the year 500, a date supported by recent radiocarbon analysis; samples from Garima 2 proposed a date of c. 390–570, while counterpart dating of samples from Garima 1 proposed a date of c. 530–660. It’s nearly 800 years older than the King James Version of the Bible. |

| It’s a heck of a lot easier to gain converts to a new religion when it incorporates crucial elements that the potential converts already believe. |

???? Hinduism has no established set of beliefs? That is just wrong. Have no idea about Druze etc Jesus definitely made an impact - real or imagined. But obviously human history existed before his life. So can Jesus be God? The creator? Does it really matter? Hi |

“Hinduism has no established set of beliefs and thus no universal or common view of Jesus.“ you chopped off half the sentence, that makes a huge difference |

People like to do that so they can feign outrage. It’s exhausting, annoying, etc. |

Jewish people don’t like Jesus. Although he is proven to have walked the earth, they often deny he existed. |

Jewish people seem to think Jesus brought people back to life using magic and witchcraft. That means He actually brought people back from the dead, they admit that, but they say it’s because Jesus was a magician and a witch. Interesting. Anyway, there are also Jewish people who deny the historicity of Jesus, when it is established He existed and walked the earth as a man. We know He lived, so anyone who denies that fact is a conspiracy theorist and a denier of history and should be thrown in the pile of holocaust deniers, climate change deniers, etc. I don’t think it’s valuable or adds to the conversation to dredge up people who are clearly on the wrong side of history. They are not worthy of discussion as they are clearly not educated enough to understand how scholars and historians use established criteria to determine whether or not someone existed. They operate on their own level of ignorance that has no basis in fact. |
