                     The New Testament calls him the prophet of God


                 Trinitarianism's core belief consists of asserting that Prophet Jesus
            (pbuh) is not just a messenger sent to his people, but that he is the actual
            physical son of God. (Surely God is beyond that!) The fact is, however, that
            the New Testament describes him as a messenger who calls people to be-
            lieve and submit to God. In his message, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) always in-
            sists that he is a sent messenger. The way that he tells God, I have given them
            Your word… (John, 17:14) is particularly striking. He is a prophet, just as
            Solomon, Moses, David (peace be upon them all), and Muhammad (may
            God bless him and grant him peace) were, a messenger who only com-
            municates the message of God. Indeed, the New Testament records that
            Moses (pbuh) said: God will send you a prophet like me from your own people

            (Acts, 7:37). Some of the statements in the New Testament verifying
            Prophet Jesus' status as a prophet are as follows:
                 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear
                 are not my own; they belong to God, Who sent me. (John 14:24)

                 Do not believe me unless I do what my Lord does. But if I do it, even though
                 you do not believe me, believe the miracles. (John 10:37-38)
                 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say:
                 "Surely this is the prophet who is to come into the world." (John 6:14)
                 He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
                 (Luke 24:19)

                 They do not know the One Who sent me. (John 15:21)
                 He [God] sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from
                 your wicked ways. (Acts 3:26)

                 Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and
                 Jesus, whom You have sent. I have brought You glory on Earth by complet-
                 ing the work You gave me to do…I have revealed You to those whom You
                 gave me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to me, and they
