Is the Islamic position on Jesus fundamentally different from a non-trinitarian Christian view?
It depends on the non-Trinitarian view we are speaking of. Some would be in line with Islamic beliefs, others would not. For example, Modalism is not Trinitarian but would not be in line with Islamic ideas on Jesus.Is the Islamic position on Jesus fundamentally different from a non-trinitarian Christian view?
the Islamic Position aligns more with unitarianism more than arianism i presume.Is the Islamic position on Jesus fundamentally different from a non-trinitarian Christian view?
Not really. The Islamic position on God being one and only one would align more with Unitarianism or Oneness, but not the figure of Isa/Jesus in Islam (which is the OP).the Islamic Position aligns more with unitarianism more than arianism i presume.
Oneness believes Jesus is God and that he takes forms lol and I said that they align with Unitarianism than arianism because unitarians and arians see Jesus as a mere man and not God rather Oneness believe God took a form as Jesus in human flesh see the difference?Not really.

I do see the difference, I am very familiar with Arianism and Oneness/Unitarianism. But your understanding of Arianism isn't completely accurate.Oneness believes Jesus is God and that he takes forms lol and I said that they align with Unitarianism than arianism because unitarians and arians see Jesus as a mere man and not God rather Oneness believe God took a form as Jesus in human flesh see the difference?

He believed Jesus was the wisdom not eternally devine, when he said divine he meant he viewed Jesus as the word but not eternally divine. Which i agree muslims don't view Jesus as the only thing muslims believe is Unitarianism if you aligning to to Christianity.Classical Arians believe Jesus to be divine, begotten and created but still divine.
Oneness believe God take forms Muslims don't believe that at allOneness/Unitarianism.
You right and they view Jesus as the Word but not divine nor a deity.Islam does not believe Jesus to be divine, but rather a great Prophet. Islam rejects the divinity and deity of Jesus whereas classical Arianism generally only rejects the deity and not divinity of Jesus.
We consider him a prophet of God. He did miracles by the will of God as the bible also saysIs the Islamic position on Jesus fundamentally different from a non-trinitarian Christian view?
Only to Trinitarians I guess?"Non-trinitarian Christian" is a contradiction in terms.
We? Are you a Muslim?
It says he is muslimWe? Are you a Muslim?
Hi, I've read that some Sufis say that the oneness of God is really that there is really only one being and that we are all part of that one being. Like Allah is the Sun and the rays of the Sun are individual souls... So it's all one light, although the Sun is the Sun and the Ray is the Ray.Yes i am
Sufism like any other cults have no base in the scriptures. We are not part of God as Christianity also believes. The difference is we believe Allah is only one and Christians believe there are three deities that make God. The problem I have with that is its not sensible to have 3 gods and count them as one GodHi, I've read that some Sufis say that the oneness of God is really that there is really only one being and that we are all part of that one being.

I'm thinking in particular of the writings of Hazrat Inayat Khan ... Have you come across this idea... I don't think it is what most orthodox Muslims believe... but it makes some sense to me.
This is a forum where non-Christian Seekers are encouraged to ask questions about those aspects of the Christian faith which seem hard to understand or accept, and where Christian members (see Faith groups list) can enter into discussion with them on these questions. The primary focus of this forum is Christian evangelism and discipleship, not to debate Christian Theology or challenge, attack, or argue against, Christianity. If any non-Christian member would like to challenge Christianity, they may do so in the Christian Apologetics forum. Please read and agree with this thread before posting in the Christian Apologetics forum.
We recognize that sincere non-Christian seekers are looking for real answers, and the first reply given may be insufficient to achieve this. It is acceptable for the Original Poster (OP) to probe the answers given, and to continue the discussion on lines which help to clarify their understanding of the Christian faith. If another non-Christian seeker wishes to ask questions about the Christian faith, they may start their own thread. No more than one non-Christian Seeker (the OP) may post in a thread.
