Islams believe that Jesus was only a prophet from God, so...
How do Muslims, or the Islamic faith itself, know which of the Words of Jesus were acceptable and which weren't?
Jesus said He and God were one. If He is one with God, then that makes Him more than just a prophet.
And, a prophet from God would always be right. So, if Jesus is always right, then Islam is wrong.
Final question.
According to Islam, the first people were black, and all other colors were from them.
But, scientifically, black is the absence of all color, and white is all colors together. So, how can colors come from no colors?
Peace and Love of the Lord Jesus Christ to all, today and all tomorrows!

Hi Flesh&blood, in short Muslims believe that Jews and Christians got together to corrupt the scriptures. And, any scripture they can quote that they believes supports their doctrine is not corrupted, and any scriptures that contradict their theology they say is corrupted.
Anyway, I think you have the Nation of Islam confused with mainline Islam. Jesus would have looked skin color wise like any Jewish person of his day in that part of the world.
At best guess, he would have been brown skinned.
By the way Muhammad was white:
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 63:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: "Who amongst you is Muhammad?" At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied, "This white man reclining on his arm." The an then addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib." ...
Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 3:
There are other referrences that prove that Muhammad is white, but expect the person from the Nation of Islam to say that either this Hadith is mistranslated or that it is not reliable or that it is not authoritive, or that it is not genuine... but is made up.
Basically, NOI is a hate cult, not real Islam, and whites are viewed as evil devils, and black is beautiful.
