Or apples and oranges. The connection? Fruit. Does that mean they come from the same tree? Nope.

Sure, and would you cite the Bible's rules in Leviticus and Deuteronomy as being representative of what modern Christians believe? It's not that straightforward, if you want to know what modern Muslims think you have to talk to them. Jesus is not a messiah to them.
All I'm asking for is a clarification of your question.......is that so hard?
No, that's not hard, if I know what question you're referring to, but I don't recall asking a question here, except perhaps a rhetorical one. My comment wasn't directed at you, it was at gerryh, who seems to think the OP is a troll for asking a legitimate question that's exercised philosophers and theologians for millennia, about the problems of evil and suffering. What is it you want clarification on?

I believe what the evidence points to. No contemporary Muslims would tell you they accept Jesus as a Messiah for themselves.
That doesn't stop Him from being it though, some Jews feel the very same way, it doesn't mean they won't have to adapt to facts when they present themselves.
Of course not, what anyone believes about Jesus doesn't alter whatever he really was or is, but that's not what the discussion was about, it was about who Jesus is in Islam. Look up "Jesus in Islam" in Wikipedia, or read the Quran, it's quite clear, the Quran does indeed call him a messiah, but specifically for the children of Israel, not for Muslims.
