Some reworking/additions

As an [[Abraham]]ic [[religion]] that post-dated [[Christianity]], [[Islam]] holds that the traditions and prophets of Judaism and Christianity are their own, just as Christianity claims the traditions and prophets of Judaism as their own. This acceptance of the Christian tradition creates some conflicts, notably the fact that Christians consider [[Jesus]] to be the Son of God whereas this notion doesn't match with the teachings of the [[Qur'an]]. As such, Muslims do not believe that Jesus (translated as Isa in [[Arabic]]) is the Son of God and reject the notion of the Trinity, but do accept him as the most important prophet following [[Muhammad]].
As an [[Abraham]]ic [[religion]] that post-dated [[Christianity]], [[Islam]] holds that the traditions and prophets of [[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]] are their own, just as Christianity claims the traditions and prophets of Judaism as their own. However, while Christianity embraces the [[Old Testament|Jewish Scriptures]] as God's word, Islam rejects both the Jewish Scriptures and the [[New Testament]] as corrupt. This acceptance of the Christian tradition creates some conflicts, notably the fact that Christians consider [[Jesus]] to be the Son of God whereas this notion doesn't match with the teachings of the [[Qur'an]]. As such, Muslims do not believe that Jesus (translated as Isa in [[Arabic]]) is the Son of God and reject the notion of [[the Trinity]], although the Islamic view of the Trinity is usually flawed, believing it to be Father, Son and Mother ([[Mary]]), not Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Islam believes that Jesus was a prophet, but not the greatest one. [[Muhammad]] gets that honor.

The Koran is at odds with the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as told in the Gospels in the Bible. Instead, Muslims believe the Bible is wrong and that Jesus was taken to heaven by God to save him from being crucified and another was instead made to appear to be Jesus and crucified in his place.

The verse immediately after that is usually left out as the form of the Counselor in described in terms that would not suit a human being or any creature with a physical body.

Muslims believe that the "comforter" referred to by Jesus is Muhammad, although Christians hold the "comforter" to be the [[Holy Spirit]] and had for several hundred years before Muhammed was born. <blockquote>"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."<ref>The Bible, John 14:25</ref></blockquote> The Holy Spirit came upon the Disciples shortly after Jesus' ascension into heaven as told in the [[book of Acts]]. Also, in the [[Gospel of Matthew]] in the Bible followers of Jesus are told to baptize <blockquote>"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"<ref>Matt: 28-19</ref>
