Historically, it was the Jews who rejected Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) and accused him as the impostor messiah, that until now they still believe that the messiah prophesied in their scripture has still yet to come. On the other hand, modern day Christians (where the majority are Pauline Christians) consider him to be the “begotten son” of God and worship him as if he is one of the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.

But the Islamic view of Jesus (peace be upon him) is based on what God has revealed to mankind when He said, “Truly the likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is in the likeness of Adam, He created him of dust, then He said to him, “Be!” and he was. This is the truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt.” So in God’s view, the creation of Jesus no different from the creation of Adam (peace be upon them). When God wants to create something, He only says “Be!” and it is. God can create anything and anyway He pleases.
