Quran 5:72
quran
72 They are unbelievers who say, 'God is the Messiah, Mary's son.' For the Messiah said, 'Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord and your Lord. Verily whoso associates with God anything, God shall prohibit him entrance to Paradise, and his refuge shall be the Fire; and wrongdoers shall have no helpers.'
This verse was cited to show that the Quran says some Christians identify the Messiah with Allah, part of an argument about whether Allah keeps divine titles even when others misuse them.
Quoted by a Muslim caller as Jesus' teaching to worship God alone; the host pressed that Paul does not actually contradict this statement.
Brought in from the immediately preceding verse to argue that, in context, the Qur'an is identifying the Messiah rather than the Father in its anti-Christian polemic.
He cited this verse to deny the claim that Allah could be identified with the Messiah, using it in response to a question about Jesus and divine identity.
