Thanks for providing the brief material. I have read it. It is all right. But sometimes wrong meaning is taken. Jesus said “I am the light. I am the way.” He also said, “I am alpha and Omega”. He said, “I am the guide. I am the teacher.” We believe all these things that Jesus said. But we do not take wrong meanings.
What exactly does it mean to you to believe in what Jesus says in those verses? You have shown that you certainly don’t believe in the orthodox Christian understanding of them, and since they are in the Christian book, this makes me wonder why you say you believe in them. I am a Christian. I know what it means to believe in the Bible. I don’t take your assertion that you believe in Jesus’ words as they are written in the Bible lightly.
John 13:13 - Jesus says, “You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right for so I AM.”
I believe Jesus is the teacher and the Lord. That does not make him god. To make some one God is very serious and needs much more than these words.
“Lord” with a capital L in the Bible refers to GOD, so by the rest of your post, you cannot say you believe that Jesus is Lord.
John 14:6 - Jesus says “I am the way, and the truth and the life.” Only God is the way, the truth and the life.
** It is true that in those days, only Jesus was the light and the way. No one else. But does it mean that he becomes a God?**
No, it means God became man, not the other way around.
John 6:38 - Jesus says, “For I have come down from heaven.”
True. He came from heavens and he would go to heavens. That again is a good sentence but it does not make any one a God. You have so far not shown anything clear cut that Jesus may have said that he was God.
Please name me some other people who came from heaven. Regular people, as you claim Jesus is.
Matt. 28:20 - Jesus said He is with us always, even unto the end of the world. Only God is omnipresent.
**Jesus said very well. But he did not say that he was God. He said the correct things but you please do not take wrong meanings of those words.
The making a god out of a simple man is not in any monotheistic religion. From Noah to Abraham to Moses to Muhammad, never there is any teaching of another god beside one God.
So it is upto the church to have their faith as they like best.

What does being with His people until the end of the world mean, then? What does it mean if he is just a man? How can you say he “said very well” (I am assuming this means that you do not disagree with him) if the implications of what He has said are GODLY implications?
I can see that you have trouble because Jesus did not, as far as the Bible records, say the words “I am God”. To the Christian, this is absolutely not a problem, as it makes perfect sense given the nature of His earthly ministry and His place relative to the Father, but I can see why a Muslim would have a problem with this. Your book spells things much more explicitly, because its orator and audience is very different than the Jews of first century Palestine. I don’t have any problem with you believing in your Qur’an for your entire life if that is your true conviction, but I have a hard time accepting your claims that you believe Jesus’ words when you write in such generic, broad terms and exibit absolutely no understanding of the context or meaning of the verses you claim to believe in.
If I said that I believe in the Qur’an but do not believe in Muhammad’s prophethood, wouldn’t you see a problem with that?
