It is pointless to claim Isa was not a sinner and Muhammad was a sinner so role of Isa was better than role of Muhammad if no Christian has been able to emulate Jesus and never sinned.
Further, in the Qur'an, Isa is son of Mary. If we take the Christian claim that sin entered mankind through the sin of Adam then it is obvious that it has entered every descendant of Adam, including Mary, Isa, Muhammad and I. According to Christian doctrine, man dies because of sin of Adam. Why did Isa die on the cross if he was sinless?
In the Qur'an, nobody is sinless. Sin in the Qur'an is "disobeying God". Salvation is not dependent on not sinning but doing good and refraining from sinning as much as one can, and repenting soon afterwards if mistake has been been made. In the latter case, reforming is what leads the sinners to salvation.
God's three roles is human imagination. God is known by His attributes which are more than 3 or even 99.
