1. No.
I bet I know with whom you had that exchange. Don't you love it when we are told about our religion by someone who does not practice it?

Jesus was seen as a teacher. There are some that believe he may have even been a Rabbi. It is believed he was fighting corruption within our own religion, so there was much tension between him and the elders. Of course Israel was being occupied at the time by a foreign power, Rome. Much of his ire was directed at their treatment of Jews and other non-Romans.

However, I have never seen him called one of our prophets, until the other day, on DU. The only Jews I know that call him a prophet are "Jews for Jesus."
