10 questions that we often receive (as christians)

4.When the Prophet was worshipped as the Lord, still not become polytheist?
This also often we received in the everyday life, the question that salahun wa Al-kaprahun! Answered then: Jesus Christ indeed a Prophet, but that's for you, not for Christians. For Christians Jesus Christ more than a Prophet, Logos or the Word of God (Kalimatullah) personally that 'nuzul', materialised in the body of a humankind.
According to me, conception about who of Jesus that distinguished between Christian thinking and non-Christian (Jewish or Islam). For Jews, Jesus was greatest only a Rabbi level from Galilea, the rest was Jesus's insulting terms, like: the Israeli nation swindler, a stupid, the leprosy sufferer, the hypnotist and black magic, the illegitimate child produced by Maria's adultery with the Rome troops named Panthera/Pandera et cetera as being contained in Talmud. It was clear, not there is very good him. Moreover recuperation that was carried out in Jesus's name then a matter that was forbidden for Jews. Jesus for Jews was the person who took excessive measures because as humankind but compared himself with God that meant to blaspheme God so as to have to be punished.
For muslims, Jesus was a person among the prophets who really were honored, in fact Jesus's name was then mentioned more of the in the name of other prophets, and including the person who was foremost in the world and in the hereafter (wa jihan fii Al-du him wa Al-akhiraati). In the Islamic mystical clerics, Jesus in fact it was considered as “the prophet of heart”. A prophet that the process of his existence immediately through the sentence ‘Kun’ (kun faya kun, Be! Then so. ) without the process of the sexual reproduction. That could speak since in the content of his mother and various other miracle gifts. But only that. Nothing more. Not more than that, in fact Jesus was the only prophet who was reprimanded or interrogated by God in Al-Qur’an.
The challenge for us as Christians was explained that Jesus not only the prophet, rabbi, the healer, the holy teacher, a mystic/asketis, the teacher Veda, Buddhist reincarnation et cetera. Jesus was the lasting Word of God, that has nuzul (incarnate), materialised in himself a humankind. Jesus was acknowledged as the Lord in his capacity as Kalimatullah (the Word of God) this. For Christians, Jesus not only a "result" from the sentence ‘Kun’ this but the sentence ‘Kun’ that personally, and by the sentence ‘Kun’ this also all available in the great space and in the earth was created. God created everything with His Word, and His Word this that afterwards ‘nuzul’ in the earth ± in the last 2000 years to ‘flesh’ in Jesus from Nazaret. Kai ho Logos sarx egeneto (And the Word of God became flesh). So completely wrong if it was considered resembled-lord-would a prophet that only humankind because of Jesus was the Word of God that has ‘nuzul’ to the world, while the Word of God was adhered (qaimah) in Himself, so as when mentioning the Lord Jesus Christians mentioned the Lord to this word of God not to Jesus as humankind therefore was not "syirk" in this case.
That was expected by us to be so that Christian group does not force itself to consider the Christian teaching with version terms of their teaching personally because of might be words that were used same but meaningfully very different so as not fair to apply between one religious teaching with the other religious teaching. “The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God; .... “ (Rom 14:22a, NAS)
