No, I'm not referring to the Qur'an.What ARE the teachings of Jesus -- from the Qur'an?
I'm referring to what Jesus taught in the Gospels.
Furthemore, the Septuagint was used by early Christians, as well.

I am. Please answer the question, I'm not referring to the Qur'an.
Only the parts of the gospels you choose to acknowledge according to Islam?referring to what Jesus taught in the Gospels.
If bishops and emperors in the 4th. and 5th. centuries hadn't made "so much of it", we probably wouldn't be havingI bet more Christians today know Jesus said "Love thy neighbour" than they do about the 'four Chalcedonian adverbs'I doubt many could tell you the date of Nicaea, or who Arius was ... it's you who makes so much of it ...
Muslims tell Christians what to believe. But where in the Qur'an does Jesus teach or act?
..but I was raised as a Christian, in a predominately Christian society.The Qur'an is the complete, final and eternal word of Allah. There's no need to read or know anything else. There's all your Jesus that you need?
That's it? Where is the love or peace of Christ?45 And We prescribed for them therein: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.
46 And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil).
47 Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed; such are evil-livers.
48 And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ.

That might not answer your question, but the Qur'an is not just about what Jesus taught.
One needs to look to the Injil [Gospel] to know that.
They contradict on basic issues.I believe in the Qur'an as well as the Bible
Is the gospel the same Injil that Allah gave to Jesus? Where does the Bible say Jesus was given a book? Jesus IS the New Testament, imoOne needs to look to the Injil [Gospel] to know th
..We all have a different reaction to these things.
There are some contradictions, but overall, there is more contradiction with church dogma than anything else.They contradict on basic issues.
Is it "a book", or is it an inspired message?Is the gospel the same Injil that Allah gave to Jesus? Where does the Bible say Jesus was given a book?
Pretty much. Not just the trinity has to go, but also the death on the cross and therefore also the resurrection -- also all of Paul and (most of) John, and also any parts of the other three gospels that don't conformSo he has the need to tear apart Christian beliefs in order to validate his book as not having contradictions?
Well if Sunni and Shia ... what happened, happened.If bishops and emperors in the 4th. and 5th. centuries hadn't made "so much of it", we probably wouldn't be having

Quite probably, having been informed from a variety of contradictory sources in the region at the time of the Prophet.The Qur'an is very confused about Jesus, imo
No .. they are not misdirected..1.2 ... Historically, the explanations of Olaf Schumann, Parrinder, Kurt Aland, Anton Wessels, and Fazlur Rahman, indicate two important things. First, the Christians in Arabia and whom Muhammad met in Mecca and Medina were dominated by the Nestorians who emphasized the humanity of Jesus and the One Almighty God. That is why the Qur'an sharply criticizes the system of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus and Mary. However, both Schumann and Parrinder believe the Qur'an's criticisms of Christianity are misdirected, in a sense not to the official Christian Trinity doctrine.
