A Christian said that Ruhallah means Spirit of God and, as Jesus is the only one called by that name, that means Jesus is God as spirits are not created but pre-exist. How does one respond to that?
Amina Inloes

According to Islamic theology, every being that is not Allah is a created being that is not eternal or infinitely pre-existing. This includes angels and spirits and other non-visible or non-human beings. In fact, in this regard, one can say it is the main difference between Islamic and Christian theology.

According to Shi'i theology, there is a phase of existence that was "before" the material world (for instance, where the light of the Prophet (S) was created), however that phase was also created and everyone and everything in it was also created.

(Not sure if that answer helps!)
The Jews do not believe in Prophet Esa (AS) nor Prophet Muhammad (SAW), saying that they did not fulfil the criteria for their promised messiah. What should be our response on this point to the Jews?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The evidence of the prophet hood of Muhammad (SAWA) are too many but Quran and Ahlul Bayt (AS) are the greatest evidence. Any human being who uses his senses will see when reading Quran and the sayings of Ahlul Bayt (AS) that it is miraculous and it can never come from any human being with out link with or support from Allah.

The prophet hood of Jesus (AS) was proven by many miracles which can never be denied by sensible human being. Some people have enmity against Jesus and his mother which is the reason of denying his prophet hood.

Do we have any details of how Jesus (a) is spending his life after being raised to heaven alive?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Prophet Easa (Jesus) (AS) was raised by Allah (SWT) when his enemies tried to kill him, and he is living in the sky since then. We have in the books that he is worshiping Allah in the second sky with the angles.

He will come back to this earth with Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) and will be one of his supporters and will pray behind him.

Wassalam.
If it is said that Jesus taught Islam, why is there no mention of his Muslim followers from historians of that era?

as salam alaikum

all the disciples of Jesus, peace be upon him, were Muslims. Amongst them, one of the most prominent was Sham'un al-Safa (Saint Peter) who have been said to have preached in Rome and be buried there.

With prayers for your success.
