@DesertEagleor45 Jesus said, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets."

Certainly, God allowed prophets who came before Jesus to go thru the pain of death.

@armegeda There is NO WAY, the Quran can be the "inerrant Word of God" when it denies basic facts AFFIRMED by history. No credible historians, even atheist historians, believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was NOT crucified! Muhammad made up that lie. In the end "every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD to the Glory of God the Father". My prayer is that you turn to Jesus Christ before it is everlastingly too late!

Isa was ascended to Allah and inshaAllah in end times he will be descended by two angels and he will break all the crosses and kill all the pigs

@rosemarykelley100 We deny the crucifixtion because it is explicitly stated in the Quran. Unlike the bible, the Quran is the inherent word of Allah(God)(SWT). You for some reason believe in Isa(Jesus) as bieng a god, but on the day of judgment inshaAllah Isa will revoke you. I wish allah will guide you to the right path...

[rosemarykelley100]

Islam has to deny the crucifixion of Jesus because, unlike the Jews, they DO accept Him as a prophet--even acknowledging his virgin birth. So, unless they deny the crucifixion, they are much closer to Christianity than is comfortable for them. The Quran in denying the crucifixion denies 1st century Roman historians, 1st century Jewish historical accounts as well as the Christian eye-witnesses to the event recorded in the gospels AND in extra-biblical documents.

[MrTheCorrupter]

work of the deceiver - a lie, it is documented by the Romans that Yeshua was killed. Mohamed the pedophile was on pot.Th whole essence of Christianity is the death and Resurrection of the mesiyah of Yahweh.The (sons wife fucker) was clearly smoking pot.

@bobbyjans Could it be the work of the Devil as you are implying, if I understood you correctly? I sincerely urge you to learn more and come to a more balanced conclusion. Peace.

OTOH imagine this. A message delivered through countless obstacles of varying degrees of hardship would change the societal norms of the time, provoking quest for knowledge and affinity for justice and mercy to all, laying out examples of living on religious and secular level, all within a period of 23 years, and set the foundation for a glorious civilisation; all done by an illiterate no doubt deep in conviction. The message is flawless and a confirmation and renewal of previous scriptures.

@bobbyjans cont. To say that the Quran is man-made is a contradiction as the one of the biggest reasons for the people at the time to believe is that it is miraculous; an epitome of Arabic linguistics that it couldn't be the words of man; so much so that the prominent and respected leaders of the Quraish with the likes of Umar, Abu Bakr etc embraced the message although they were in full knowledge that indeed persecution and oppression will follow; and so it was for the next 13 years.
