What argument did the Muslim listener make against Jesus being God?

A Muslim listener argued that Jesus was never God but merely another prophet. He asserted that Muhammad superseded Jesus because Muhammad came on the scene later. This was one of the arguments the listener raised in his letter against Jesus' deity.

Les explains that a Muslim listener wrote a letter containing several arguments, one of which was that Jesus was never God but only another prophet. The listener claimed Muhammad superseded Jesus because Muhammad came on the scene later. Les responds by stressing that the Christ of the cross is the same God who created everything in Genesis chapter 1. The New Testament constantly gives Him credit as Creator. Les warns that too many believers are unaware of who Jesus really is—He is the Creator God. He also references Martin Luther's struggle with Jesus' cry, 'My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?' concluding it was God speaking to God.
