How was Jesus like unto Moses?

Greetings. The Muslims believe JESUS was just a prophet sent to the sons of "jacob/israel" and both Deut 18 and Acts 3 indeed confirms that.

So the question I want to ask is how was Jesus like unto Moses. We know JESUS was born of a 'virgin' but we know Moses was born of 2 Levite parents unless of course Moses was born also of a "virgin".

Anyhow, anyone have views they want to share on Moses and Jesus? Thanks.

Deut 18:18 A Prophet I will raise-up to them from within brothers of them like thee.
And I give My words in His mouth, and He speaks to them all which I shall instruct/command Him.
19 And becomes the man who not is listening to My words which He shall speak in My name, I shall require from with him. [Acts 3:22/Acts 7:37]

Acts 3:22 "For Moses indeed toward the fathers saying: 'That a Prophet to ye shall be raising up, Lord the God of ye, out of the brothers of ye as me. Of Him ye shall be hearing/akousesqe according to all as much as ever He should be speaking toward ye'". [Deut 18:18,19]

I decided to compare the Hebrew word used in Deut 18:18 to the greek word used in Acts 3:22, and the exact form of that word is also used in the highly Jewish Gospel of Matt. [which I relate pretty much to the Book of Hebrews]

In fact that word is actually related to the word used for "resurrection" in the NT/NC. Pretty interesting.

Deut 18:18 A Prophet I will raise-up/06965 quwm to them from within brothers of them like thee.

Matt 22:24 Saying "teacher! Moses said if-ever if any may be dying no having children shall be marrying the brother of him the woman/wife of him and shall be raising/standing-up/ana-sthsei <450> (5692) seed to the brother of him"

Well I'd have to say that Moses and Muhammad are more alike than Jesus.. I was writing a whole essay on this just now, but then renegged and decided to just post you this link with a quick comparison chart

Greetings! So what do you make of Matthew 17:5 and Acts 3:22?

Deut 18:18 A Prophet I will raise-up/06965 quwm to them from within brothers of them like thee.
And I give My words in His mouth, and He speaks to them all which I shall instruct/command Him.
19 And becomes the man who not is listening to My words which He shall speak in My name, I shall require from with him. [Acts 3:22/Acts 7:37]

Matthew 17:5 Still of-Him talking, behold! a cloud, bright, overshadows them. And behold! a Voice out of the cloud saying, "This is the Son of Me, the Beloved, in whom I delight, be ye hearing Him!".

Acts 3:22 For Moses indeed [toward the fathers] saying: 'That a prophet to ye shall be raising up, Lord the God of ye, out of the brothers of ye as Me. Of Him ye shall be hearing/akousesqe according to all as much as ever He should be speaking toward ye. [Deut 18:18,19]

So what?

If Jesus was like unto Moses how he is God, if He is not like unto Moses who is like unto him?

Greetings. Good question. I don't get into "trinity" discussions. How about JESUS as an "Elohiym" of YHWH?

Exodus 7:1 And YWHW is saying unto Mosheh, `See!, I give thee as Elohiym to Par`oh, and 'Aharown thy brother shall be thy prophet;

Mark 14:53 And they led away the Jesus toward the Chief-priest, and are coming together to Him all the chief-priests, and the elders, and the scribes;

Do you mean "being created in the image of Elohiym"?

Hi!

IOV both are God-sent Divine Messengers Who brought new "books" of religious teachings and founded new religious stages in the single ever-evolving faith, the Faith of God!

(Some <but not all> of the others include Krishna, Zoroaster, Buddha, Muhammad, and Baha'u'llah.)

Best regards,

Bruce

That is how my bro Paul described him here "image of YHWH":

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the God of the Age, this, hath-blinded the minds of the faithless into the no to shine forth to-them the enlightening of the Good-News of the glory of the Christ, who is an image of the God/YHWH [Genesis 1:26,27]

The Harvest of Matt 13/Reve 14

John 15:1 I AM the Vine the True, and the Father of Me the Farmer/Vine-dresser/gewrgoV <1092> is.

Reve 14:18 And another messenger came out of the altar having authority upon the fire, and he sounds a voice great, to the one having the sickle, the sharp, saying: "Send! of thee the sickle, the sharp/keen, and pick! the clusters of the Vine/ampelou of the land, that ripe the grapes of her.
19 And did cast the messenger the sickle of him into the land, and picks the Vine/ampelon of the land. And he did cast into the winepress of the fury of the God, the great. [Isaiah 5/Matt 13]
