Original sentence: Christianity asserts the divinity of Christ: Islam asserts his humanity.In the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas Jesus is quoted as saying that "the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.Isa is the name given in Islam to Jesus.Many of the so-called differences can be attributed to a differing interpretations of the meaning "Christ" by both Christians and others.Muslims believe that, like Muhammad, Jesus was a human being, and that Jesus and Muhammad were the last two Prophets of Islam.The claim that Jesus was the "son of God" need not imply that his holiness or divine origin was beyond that of other men -- but can be interpreted to mean that all men are brothers, and God is the spiritual father of all men.This understanding of Jesus in Islam is not unlike the Jewish tradition, and even the Mandean religion (which views John the Baptist as the faithful one, and Jesus as a trickster)
Edited sentence: In the Gospel of Thomas Jesus is quoted as saying that "the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.In this view, its not technically incorrect to say that "Jesus was not literally born of God" -- as a man is "born of woman" -- rather that the immortal spirit of Jesus -- just as in all men, comes from God.Isa is the name given in Islam to Jesus as an ordinary human being.Jesus, as the "son of God" did not make claims that his holiness or divine origin was beyond that of other men -- rather that all men are brothers, and God is the spiritual father of all men.Many of the so-called differences can be attributed to a misinterpretation of the meaning "Christ" by both Christians and others alike.Muslims do not believe that Jesus was of divine origin, but consider both him and Muhammad to have been men, and to have been the last two Prophets of Islam.The rather secular understanding of Jesus in Islam is not unlike the Jewish tradition, and even the Mandean religion (which views John the Baptist as the faithful one, and Jesus as a trickster).Thus "Isa" is not equivalent to "Jesus Christ" as "Christ" implies divinity
