The distinctives of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Qu'ran, part Five

 Only Jesus Christ was restrictively distinguished from all prophets and saints with His infallibility and was the only one to be singled out, even in the Qur'an for His perfection. He was an exception because "High honored shall He be in this world and the next" (Surah of the Imran 45).
We need to read John 8:46, "Which of you convineth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?"
The Bible teaches us that "all have sinned" without any exception. Also, the Qur'an mentions that all the prophets, fell under sin including Adam (Tah 116). Abraham (Poets 82). Moses (Poets 20), David (Sad 25), and Mohammed (Victory 2, Mohammed 21, Believer 57). In the meantime, the Qur'an testifies that Jesus is not only exception distinguishes among all men, who is infallible of faults and sins. The Qur'an expounded on this subject saying: "Blessed He has made me, wherever I may be." (Mary 31); also it says: "High honored shall he be in this world and the next." (House of Imran 45). El-Razi gave his interpretation of this verse saying: "He is high honored in this world by reason that He is blameless and in "the next" because of His great righteousness and the superiority of His position before God." (Volume 3; page 686). The conclusion of this is that the Qur'an and the Muslim scholars have acknowledge that infallibility and perfection belonged exclusively to Christ, at the time that such attributes belong only to God. All the prophets conceded that they had sinned and erred and none of them claimed to be infallible. How could Christ be the One and only perfect and infallible One, if He Himself was not God, to whom belong perfection and infallibility? No human can be infallible, for all have sinned. Therefore, by necessary Jesus is God.
