Muslims and Christians walk around this world pretending as if they mean the same thing when they refer to Jesus and Isa. Yet most Muslims have never read the Gospels at all, and they take the claim that its contents are corrupt on faith. To get a Muslim to ever read it and encounter the true Jesus is a triumph. Today, we uncover the truth about the difference between Isa and Jesus.
