Prophet Muhammad was a Christian!

Prophet Muhammad was a Christian
 If you are an Islamic bigot please let me explain before you term me a blasphemer. Over the years I have had to wonder why a prophet Muhammad would be regarded as anti Christ when he has actually said great things about Jesus. I see no reason why prophet Muhammad would paint Jesus in such superlative terms and yet was against Christ. But through personal study I have discovered that wicked people who hide under religious have actually tried to create discord between the Christians and Muslims.
  Now according to the Bible, there three major beliefs that makes one a Christian. They are 1) believe that Jesus is Christ ( Matt 16:15-19), 2) believe that Jesus died and rose again ( Rom 10:9), 3) believe that Jesus came in the flesh ( 1john 4:3).  If these are the major prerequisite, then let's consider what is written in Suraj 19 about the birth of Jesus:
And remember Mary in the Book, when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place. And she veiled herself from them. Then We [God] sent unto her Our Spirit [the angel Gabriel], and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said, "I seek refuge from thee in the Compassionate [i.e., God], if you are reverent!" He said, "I am but a messenger of thy Lord, to bestow upon thee a pure boy."

She said, "How shall I have a boy when no man has touched me, nor have I been unchaste?" He said, "Thus shall it be. Thy Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me.’" And [it is thus] that We might make him a sign unto mankind, and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.

So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a place far off. And the pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm. She said, "Would that I had died before this and was a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!" So he called out to her from below her, "Grieve not! Thy Lord has placed a rivulet beneath thee. And shake toward thyself the trunk of the date palm; fresh, ripe dates shall fall upon thee. So eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any human being, say, ‘Verily I have vowed a fast unto the Compassionate, so I shall not speak this day to any man.’"

Then she came with him [the infant Jesus] unto her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary! Thou hast brought an amazing thing! O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not an evil man, nor was thy mother unchaste." Then she pointed to him [Jesus]. They said, "How shall we speak to one who is yet a child in the cradle?"

He [Jesus] said, "Truly I am a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet. He has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I live, and [has made me] dutiful toward my mother. And He has not made me domineering, wretched. Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive!"

That is Jesus son of Mary— a statement of the truth, which they doubt.
  Now in the quotation above, the Quran agrees that Jesus was born of Virgin Mary. An Angel was sent to her from God. That simply means Jesus was from God.If Jesus spoke as an infant, it means he was Divine. He even said 'God has giving me The book', not a book. Muhammad says he believed Jesus  even though the Jew did not. Our passage above also talks about Jesus's death, resurection, and second coming to deal with the Al- malsi al Dajjal (anti-christ).  While will Muhammad talk about anti-christ if he does not believe Jesus is the Christ?
      A Muslim scholar spoke of Jesus thus:
From the water of Mary or from the breath of Gabriel,
In the form of a mortal fashioned of clay,
The Spirit came into existence in an essence
Purged of Nature's taint, which is called Sijjin (prison)
Because of this, his sojourn was prolonged,
Enduring, by decree, more than a thousand years.
A spirit from none other than God,
So that he might raise the dead and bring forth birds from clay.
   Now take note of the word 'the Spirit came into existence", just like it's stated in John 1, the word became flesh.. like l maintained in my last post, Prophet Muhammad specifically asked his followers to consult the Bible on any confusing issue. Muslims may not believe that Jesus is the son of God. That is actually not as important as believing Jesus is the Christ. It is the latter that counts in salvation.
  In conclusion, I advise all Christian to read the Quran for themselves and discover that many of their beliefs about Islam are wrong. And I also encourage the Muslim to read the Quran more objectively, and they would discover that prophet Muhammad was actually a Christian, and the hatred that brew between both religion are the handwork of sinners.
