This is why I am hesitant to argue about religious things. With fanatics one gets nowhere. Why should Jesus be the paramount prophet above all other prophets? I refuse to believe that all the other prophets were insignificant. Don't get me wrong; I believe Jesus was genuine and preached praiseworthy pronouncements. So did the others.
Perhaps, you doan know. All the Jewish prophets foretold of the coming of Jesus. Jesus was not a prophet.
Mohammad considered as a prophet by his followers, and he proclaimed that he was a greater prophet than Abraham, Moses and three other minor prophets.
As for the messages of the prophets, it is the same. Mankind is sinful and his Creator wants to save him from damnation. Therein, for the love of the Father, the Lord uttered the words, "Send me as Peace Offering." Suffering at the Cross where He hung, the Lord demonstrated the sinful ways of mankind. Gross murder. It doan matter how civilized or uncivilized mankind are, the love to kill is a common trait. Suh, man who never created another man feels obliged to the life of a man.
