1-  Ample Prophesies in the Old Testament about the Messiah getting saved from crucifixion:

You would expect that major events such as the crucifixion and the resurrection of Christ, that make up the entire case for Christianity, to be at least prophesied in the Bible's Old Testament clearly, without any ambiguity, and without any deliberate mistranslations and lies.  But the Truth and the sad reality for the believers in the crucifixion, who are too also desperate to prove trinity even though the word itself, "trinity", doesn't even exist in the entire Bible, is that these major events, the crucifixion and the resurrection, were never mentioned in the entire Old Testament.

Note:  Psalm 91, Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-6, below, all confirm that Jesus will never get crucified.  Below, we'll also see how the writers of the New Testament misquoted and misunderstood Psalm 91.  Psalm 91 clearly foretold the saving of the Messiah from crucifixion and death.

 

The following articles are very important:

The following five articles contain much of the necessary verses and proofs to refute the deliberate mistranslation and misinterpretation of Isaiah 53.

    The following Biblical verses that further refute the crucifixion and resurrection lies:

    Being lifted and saved:

    Luke 4:10-12
    10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect and guard you.
    11 And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
    ’”
    12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures
    also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”

    Matthew 4:5-10
    5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple,
    6 and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”
    7 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures
    also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
    8 Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
    9 “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.”
    10 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”

    Please visit: Psalm 91 clearly confirms that Jesus never got crucified.

    There are few points to notice in these verses:

    1-  Notice how satan referred to Psalm 91 regarding the protection of Jesus.

    2-  Notice how Jesus confirmed that Psalm 91 was indeed speaking about him by saying "the Scriptures also say..." (Luke 4:12 and Matthew 4:7).

    3-  As we will see in the sections below, Psalm 91 is not just concerned with preventing Christ or the Messiah from striking his feet against the ground.  This is the least point the chapter is concerned with.  The chapter concentrated heavily on:

    (see the following sub-section's points)

      

    (a)-  Psalm 91 is not just limited to the foot striking the rock!

    The following table contains all of Psalm 91 and detailed analysis about its key verses.  Notice how the New Testament in Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-6 and in many other places completely misquoted and misunderstood Psalm 91.  Psalm 91 and its verses are not just concerned about Jesus' striking of his feet against a rock (Psalm 91:12).  That is a lie and a clear fabrication! [1] [2]  This piece is very minor in the chapter, because the chapter is more focused on:

  • GOD Almighty will hear his cries (Psalm 91:15) and will save him (Psalm 91:3).
     
  • GOD Almighty will cover him with His Protection (Psalm 91:4).
     
  • Christ will then not have any fear in him (Psalm 91:5).
     
  • Christ will then observe with his own eyes the punishment of the crucified ones (Psalm 91:8).
     
  • No harm (this includes crucifixion!) or disaster will even come near Christ (Psalm 91:10....this even contradicts him getting beaten up before crucifixion).
     
  • GOD Almighty will send down the Angels to protect him and lift him (Psalm 91:11-12, 14, Isaiah 52:13).  Not even his foot will strike the ground from his enemies pushing, grappling and punishment.
     
  • Christ's call will be HEARD, and he will be delivered and honored (Psalm 91:15, Isaiah 52:13).  No way would these verses be valid if Christ got crucified.
     
  • His life will be prolonged (extended) and he will live to even see his offspring (Isaiah 53:10 and Psalm 91:16, which by the way contradict Jesus never got married and had children.  In Islam's Noble Quran's 13:38, however, it is quite possible that Jesus Christ had wives and children).
     
  • His life will overpower death (Isaiah 53:12).
     
  • "Death" in Isaiah 53:9 is proven to be symbolic using the Hebrew Lexicon and several English translations, and it never meant a literal death.
     
  • Important Note:  Psalm 91 is speaking as a number of Prophecies that WILL take place.  Notice how the verses are speak of future events that WILL TAKE PLACE.  Never once throughout the entire New Testament were the Angels sent to save Jesus from striking his foot against a rock.  This, again, clearly proves that the NT is indeed false and corrupt.
     
  • Here is Psalm 91 that Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-6 link to Jesus:

    (Pay attention to the red text below, especially in Psalm 91:11-12, 15 and the others)

    Psalm 91

    1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
    2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
    3
    Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
    4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
    5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
    6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
    7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
    8
    You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 

    (According to the Noble Quran and the original writings of the Disciples of Jesus, Jesus was not crucified, and he watched the crucifixion of the doomed person.

    Also, according to the Apocalypse of Peter that was discovered in Egypt, Jesus sat on the tree and watched the crucified one getting crucified.  Peter witnessed this and wrote the Apocalypse.  Not only that, but while Christians insist that the book is a Gnostic one, but according to Wikipedia.org, "It is unclear whether this text advocates an adoptionist (Jesus was Divine) or docetist (Jesus' body and crucifixion were an illusion) christology". 

    So there is no proof that the book is Gnostic.)

    9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-

    10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.

    11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
    12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

    (If Jesus died on the cross and got buried, then his feet would've struck the ground and the stones on it from bringing him down, throwing him on the floor and burying him).

    13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

    14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

    15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

    16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

    There is no question!

    There is no question that the emphasized parts above, especially in Psalm 91:11-12, 15 and others, clearly and indisputably agree with the Noble Quran and Isaiah 52:13!  Jesus was neither crucified nor resurrected, and he was protected and lifted by GOD Almighty.  Also, the New Testament, again, confirms that Psalm 91 is referring to Jesus Christ.

  • GOD Almighty will hear his cries (Psalm 91:15) and will save him (Psalm 91:3).
     
  • GOD Almighty will cover him with His Protection (Psalm 91:4).
     
  • Christ will then not have any fear in him (Psalm 91:5).

    Lifting up those who bow down:

    Psalm 145:14
    The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

    Psalm 146:8
    the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

    Isaiah 52:13
    13 See, my servant will act wisely ; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

    Please visit: Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty begging Him to save him from the crucifixion.

     

    GOD Almighty Saving His annointed King and saving those who take refuge in Him:

    Psalm 20:6
    6  Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed king. He answers him from his holy heaven. The power of God's right hand saves the king.

    Psalm 17:7
    Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.

    Psalm 18:3
    I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

    Psalm 9:13
    O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

    Psalm 30:1
    [ A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David. ] I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

    Note:  The Psalms of David, while they are narrated by him, but they do contain many prophecies about the coming of Jesus Christ or the Messiah.  The New Testament had made many references to many of the Psalms verses and linked them to Jesus Christ.

    It is also interesting to know that King David was never killed by his enemies.  Therefore, the speech in Psalm 9:13 and Psalm 30:1 refer to a live man and not a man who died.  Notice how David said:

    1-  "I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me."

    2-  "Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death".

    The two quotes indicate that David cried out to GOD Almighty for help, and GOD Almighty lifted him from the enemies' defeat and death.  In other words, David was victorious and was never killed or put to death by them.  Remember that King David was never killed by his enemies.  He was lifted up by GOD Almighty and was made victorious over them.

    Therefore, it is also safe to say that GOD Almighty's Commands about "saving" and " sending down the Angels to lift up" Christ from his enemies, in Psalm 91 and the rest of the Psalm verses above, also undoubtebly prove that Jesus Christ indeed never got crucified and was indeed saved from crucifixion and death.

    For more on this please visit:

    Psalm 91 clearly states that Jesus Christ will never get crucified.

    Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified.

    Jesus in Hebrews 5:7-8 cried out to GOD Almighty to be saved and "he was heard".

     
     

     

    (b)-  The Crucifixion is Symbolic in the New Testament:

    From http://www.answering-christianity.com/abdullah_smith/katz_crucifixion_rebuttal_4.htm

    Paul regarded the crucifixion as symbolic.

    It is evident that the early Gnostic Christians practised the ritual of symbolic death by crucifixion. It was meant to destroy one’s identification with the body and realize the true self within. Gnostics considered Christ allegoric and not as a historical person. Paul, a Gnostic later appropriated by the Church, declares, “The secret is this: Christ in you (Colossians 1:25-28.)” Paul makes it clear that Jesus was merely an allegory when he declares, “If Jesus had been on earth, he wouldn’t have been a priest.(Hebrews 8:4)” As Freke and Gandy point out, had Paul considered Jesus historical, he would have said, “When Jesus was on earth, he was not a priest.” This explains why Paul never quotes the words of Jesus which he should have had there been a historical Jesus.
     
    Paul further confirms that he considered Jesus’ crucifixion symbolic where he declares, “I have shared Christ’s crucifixion. The person we once were has been crucified with Christ. (Colossians 1:24, Galatians 2:20, Romans 6:7)” He also tells Galatians, a community that lived hundreds of miles away from Palestine, that they too witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion (Galatians 3:1). Since Paul had never met Jesus, the crucifixion his audience in Galatia witnessed could not have been an historical event. It has to be allegorical. Ptolemy (~140 CE), disciple of Valentinus, reveals that Pilate merely made an image of Jesus and crucified it instead of crucifying Jesus himself.[vii] Basilides (116-161 CE), a Gnostic saint, writes that those who believe Jesus was physically crucified are enslaved to myths, and those who treat it as symbolic are liberated. (Kalavai Venkat, Silencing The Da Vinci Code [1]
     
    I will show later that some versions of the Osiris myth did indeed teach that he remained on earth for a time after his "reanimation," but for the sake of argument, let's just assume the truth of McFall's claim that Egyptian myths about Osiris taught that he had experienced only a "spiritual" resurrection. That still would not make the Jesus myth "unique," because the earliest version of this myth indicates that the resurrection of Jesus was merely spiritual. To see this, we have only to go to the apostle Paul's defense of the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15. A face-value interpretation of this chapter, which doesn't assume the truth of the gospel accounts that were written much later, will show that Paul was claiming that Jesus had been not bodily but spiritually resurrected. After telling the Corinthian Christians that their faith was vain and they were of all men most miserable if Christ had not risen, Paul proceeded to develop a line of argumentation intended to prove that the resurrection had happened as he had preached it. (Warning: Atheist website: [2]
     

    Christians believe that Jesus died for the sins of the world. In ancient Greece there was a tradition of making a particular individual into a ‘scapegoat’, who symbolically took on the sins of the people and was expelled from the city or put to death. Such an individual was called a pharmakos, which simply means ‘magic man’. His persecution was clearly a religious event, since before his death he was fed at public expense on especially pure foods and was clad in holy garments and wreathed with sacred. Through his sacred sacrifice the sins of the city were banished. (Timothy Freke, The Jesus Mysteries, p 53)

     

     

    (c)-  Indisputable errors and contradictions in the Crucifixion and Resurrection Accounts!

    You know, Christians boast about how detailed their Bible is.  Yet, the Bible that they boast about is too confused, too confusing, too erroneous, and too off in its accounts, so much that one can not get an honest and accurate account about any event!  So after all, this big book that is called the Bible is no more than a pile of man-made corruption and hoaxes.

    With this said, let us now examine the following confusing and erroneous contradictions that they call "accounts":


    Error #1:

    How many disciples witnessed Jesus' resurrection, 11 or 12?

    According to the Gospels, Jesus had 12 disciples before he was crucified.  One of them, Judas, had betrayed Jesus and turned him over to the Romans to get crucified for a sum of money.  Judas, on the day of the crucifixion and before Jesus got crucified, realized his unforgivable mistake and committed suicide by hanging himself (Matthew 27):

    Matthew 27
    1 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people came to the decision to put Jesus to death.
    2 They bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate, the governor.
    3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders.
    4 "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." "What is that to us?" they replied. "That's your responsibility."
    5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
    ..........
    11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
    ..........

    So clearly, as seen in the verses, Jesus was still alive when Judas died, and now we are left with only 11 disciples, not 12.  This is further proven in Luke 24 when Jesus appeared to the 11.

        

    Jesus appeared to 11 in Luke 24, Mark 16 and Matthew 28:

    (Pay attention to the highlighted verses, below)

    Luke 24
    The Resurrection
    1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
    2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
    3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
    4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
    5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?
    6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:
    7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' "
    8 Then they remembered his words.
    9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

    10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.
    11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.
    12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

    On the Road to Emmaus
    13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
    14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
    15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;
    16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
    17 He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.
    18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
    19 "What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
    20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;
    21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.
    22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning
    23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.
    24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see."
    25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
    26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"
    27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
    28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther.
    29 But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.
    30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.
    31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.
    32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
    33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem.
    There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together
    34 and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."
    35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

    Jesus Appears to the Disciples
    36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
    37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.
    38 He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?
    39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."
    40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
    41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
    42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
    43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.
    44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
    45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
    46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and
    rise from the dead on the third day,
    47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
    48 You are witnesses of these things.
    49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

    The Ascension
    50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
    51 While he was blessing them,
    he left them and was taken up into heaven.
    52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
    53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.

          
    There are few points to mention here:

    1-  Luke 24:9 and 33 say that there were 11 disciples.

    2-  Luke 24:36-43 talk about Jesus' appearance to the 11 disciples.

    3-  In Luke 24:45-49, Jesus confirms that he was resurrected, and he also confirms that he appeared to the 11 for the first time after the crucifixion.

    4-  In Luke 24:50-51, Jesus ascended to Heaven after finishing meeting the 11 disciples.

          

    There is no question that the writer of Luke 24 thought and believed that Jesus Christ appeared to eleven (11) disciples, and not twelve (12).

        

    5-  Luke 24:27 says that Moses spoke about Jesus.  Where are those verses in Moses' books?  This verse is an obvious forgery!

    We also read in the Mark 16:

    Mark 16
    The Resurrection
    1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body.
    2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb
    3 and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
    4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.
    5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
    6 "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.
    7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "
    8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

    ((The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20.))

    9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.
    10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping.
    11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.
    12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.
    13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.
    14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
    15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
    16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
    17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
    18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
    19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
    20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
      

    There are few points to mention here:

    1-  Notice first of all the NIV Bible's commentary about Mark 16:9-20 not being reliable.

    2-  Like the Luke 24 verses above, Mark 16:14 and 19 clearly and indisputably declare that Jesus only appeared to 11 disciples and then ascended to Heaven immediately after that.

    3-  In Mark 16:7-14 Jesus appeared to Peter and then appeared to all 11 (Peter included) while they were eating.  Yet, 1 Corinthians 15:5 clear says that Jesus appeared to Peter as the first of the disciples, which is true, and then to the twelve, which is false.

      

      
    We also read in the Matthew 28:

    Matthew 28
    The Resurrection
    1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
    2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
    3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
    4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
    5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
    6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
    7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
    8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
    9 Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
    10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

    The Guards' Report
    11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
    12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,
    13 telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.'
    14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."
    15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

    The Great Commission
    16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
    17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
    18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
    19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
    20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
       

    There are few points to mention here:

    1-  Notice in Matthew 28:16 the disciples are 11.

    2-  Notice also in Matthew 28:7,10 the women went to tell all of the disciples.

    3-  Matthew 28:11-15 admit that much dispute over Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection existed during those days.  The verses say that the Jews fabricated lies with the Roman soldiers.  But knowing the Bible, this account is highly doubtful. 

  • The point here is that Matthew 28:11-15 prove that much gossips, lies and disputes were circulating about Jesus' story, which proves that nothing that is written in the Bible can be trusted.

    Paul said 12 not 11:

    (Mark 16:7-14 VS 1 Corinthians 15:5)

    Yet, Paul, the false prophet who was delusional and wasn't even sure which spirit was inspiring him (literally!), said that Jesus, after the crucifixion, appeared to the 12 disciples:

    1 Corinthians 15
    1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
    2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
    3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
    4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
    5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
    6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
    7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
    8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

    There are two errors by the false prophet, Paul:

    1-  Jesus was never buried under the earth in the same way our dead get buried.  He was placed temporarily in a tomb and then his body disappeared (Matthew 27:59-66, Matthew 28).  So he was never buried!  See also Main-Section #2 below for more proofs and details.

    2-  In Mark 16:7-14 Jesus appeared to Peter and then appeared to all 11 (Peter included) while they were eating.  Yet, 1 Corinthians 15:5 clear says that Jesus appeared to Peter as the first of the disciples, which is true, and then to the twelve, which is false.

    3-  For those who say that Paul was the twelfth disciple, Verse 1 Corinthians 15:8 clearly refutes this lie.

    It is also worth mentioning that the New Testament records the disciples fighting with each others [1] [2].  Now if GOD Almighty was supposedly inspired the New Testament, then was He, for instance, fighting with Himself?

         

    Matthias replaced Judas?

    Before we look at the book of Acts, it is important to know that the author of the book is unknown:

    "Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke.  (From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1643)"

    Please visit:  Just who were the authors of the Bible? for a lot more quotes.

    With this said, let us now look at Acts 1:

    Acts 1
    Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven
    1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach
    2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
    3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
    4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
    5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
    6 So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
    7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
    8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
    9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
    10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
    11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

    Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
    12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.
    13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
    14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
    15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty)
    16 and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus—
    17 he was one of our number and shared in this ministry."
    18 (With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.
    19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
    20 "For," said Peter, "it is written in the book of Psalms, " 'May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,' and, " 'May another take his place of leadership.'
    21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
    22 beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
    23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
    24 Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen
    25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs."
    26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.

       
    There are few points to mention here:

    1-  Acts 1:22 is a direct and clashing contradiction with Luke 24:9,36-53, Mark 16:14-19 and Matthew 28:16, because the latter verses state clearly that Jesus Christ appeared to the 11 disciples and then he ascended to Heaven after that!  Matthias was never mentioned in Luke 24, Mark 16, Matthew 28 or in any other book other than Acts 1 and thus, he never witnessed the resurrection of Christ!

  • Again, in no book other than Acts 1 is Matthias mentioned, which looks quite suspicious!  Such a person, who supposedly replaced Judas, should've been at least mentioned once on the resurrection accounts in any or all of the gospels.  Certainly, Judas was mentioned many times throughout the gospels.  Yet, not only we have no mention of Matthias, but the resurrection accounts, which I mentioned all of them above, say that Jesus appeared to the 11 and not 12.
              
  • Matthias chosen by a coin flip, and the legalization of gambling! 

    2-  Acts 1:26, above, states that the disciples played a "casting lots" game which is similar to our "flip the coin" modern-day game to choose a new disciple.  Is this how you choose a new Apostle who will be *supposedly* speaking the Words of GOD Almighty?

  • Christians lie and say that the disciples' writings were the inspired Words of GOD Almighty.  Acts 1:26 clearly prove that this is indeed a lie.  Many other verses prove this as well.
          
  • Certainly, with the exception to Paul who was neither a disciple (never met Jesus in person) nor a true Prophet and who admittedly said that he wasn't even sure whether the Holy Spirit was inspiring him or not [2] [3], none of the disciples ever claimed that their words and writings were inspired by GOD Almighty (not that their gospels are their original writings) [1] [2].  In fact, we even read in their books about:
       
    Fighting with each others.
          
    Inviting each others to diner and deciding to "winter there".
      
    Writing their letters (books) for the sake of local leaders
    [2].
      
    And again, the books and gospels are not even the original writings of any disciple.
      
    And now we see them flipping coins to choose disciples!
       
  • Question #1:  So before the flip of the coin, were Matthias' words inspired by GOD Almighty?  An hour before the coin chose him, were his words inspired?
       
  • Question #2:  Isn't the flip of the coin  or a casting of lots a form of gambling?  And wouldn't the verse now be legalizing gambling?  Don't the casinos also cast lots (dice) and flip coins through roulettes and jackpot machines?
  •    
    3-  Throughout the entire Bible, Matthias was only mentioned in the book of Acts, Chapter 1 (i.e., Acts 1).  Not even in Paul's books was Matthias mentioned.  This is all proven here.

  • What does this mean?  It means that there is discrepancy in this piece of history here, because Matthias should've had a whole lot more relevance and attention than this throughout the gospels and books.
  •     

        

    So who lied, Luke or Paul?

    It doesn't matter to prove who lied, because all of their books and the rest of the Bible's books and gospels are not original.  No one knows

    1. Who wrote them.
    2. How many people wrote them.
    3. Where they were written.
    4. When they were written.

    This is extremely important as the dilemma above is not but a small example of the major errors and problems in the Bible's history and integrity!

       

         

    Error #2:

    What did the inscription on Jesus' cross say?

    John 19:19
    19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It reads: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    Matthew 27:37
    37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    Luke 23:38
    38 There was a written notice above him, which reads: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    Mark 15:26
    26 The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    You know, there was only one cross, and not ten, for Jesus!  Yet, the gospels can't even get the inscription quoted correctly.  Can you honestly tell me what the exact quote was?  Because all four are way off from each others, especially the one in John 19:19.

    Why is this relevant?  Because it serves to prove that the gospels were written by men who were not inspired by GOD Almighty.  The historical errors and contradictions prove that the work is not that of GOD Almighty.

     

    Error #3:

    What did the centurion say about Jesus?

    Luke 23:47
    47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, "Surely this was a righteous man."

    Mark 15:39
    39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

    Matthew 27:54
    54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"

    Righteous man and Son of God do not mean the same thing!  Again, can you honestly tell me what did the centurion exactly say?

    Why is this relevant?  Because the Luke 23:47 quote suggests that the centurion, who remained a pagan Roman, just merely felt sorry for Jesus and didn't embrace his way or become his follower, while the quote in the other two verses, Mark 15:39 and Matthew 27:54, suggests that he embraced Christianity.  And by the way, the gospel of John is completely silent about the event.

    So did the centurion become a follower of Jesus Christ or did he remain a pagan Roman?  The gospels miserably fail to answer this, and are themselves confused about it.

     

    Error #4:

    Was there an earthquake when Jesus died or not, and did many of the dead resurrect or not?

    Matthew 27:51-53
    51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.
    52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
    53 They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

    You would expect that such monumental event be recorded not only all over the New Testament, but also in 100s of books throughout history, since it would've been witnessed by thousands and told by thousands.  Yet, not only the gospels of Mark, Luke and John are virtually silent about (no earthquakes and no resurrections of dead bodies), but so are the history books!  No testimonies and no recordings of anything of this sort.  Obviously, the writer of the gospel of Matthew got too carried away with his hoax.

    Why is this relevant?  Because this serves to prove that the gospels were indeed:

    1. Written by unknown people.
    2. Written by an unknown number of people.
    3. Written in unknown places.
    4. Written in unknown dates.
    5. Full of "fables", "fairy tales", and "fictions" as the Bible's own theologians admit.

    What does this mean?  It means that the person or persons who wrote the false gospel of Matthew, wrote it during a time and place when the other gospels weren't around at least to the local community of where the false gospel was written.  The place was also most likely very far away from Palestine, where the people would not have had the ability to double check this monumental claim.  That is why such a lie was easily fabricated and recorded.

    It is also worth mentioning that the people in rural and underdeveloped areas usually tend to gossip and exaggerate too much.  And this is true in any country's and society's rural areas.  Gossipers tend to blow things way out of proportion.  They exaggerate too much and they lie too much, even if their intention is not to lie.  That's just their human nature, because:

    1-  They are not educated.

    2-  They don't have a wide perspective of life.  They're very isolated in their limited life (farming, milking, etc...).

    3-  They have too much time on their hands, and they interact with each others too much, which results in a culture of gossipers and "white liars".

    But here is the big big problem!!  We're not talking about the gossipers!  We're talking about the Holy and Divine Words of GOD Almighty!  So if the mentioned monumental events never took place, then they should not have gossiped their way through the Gospels, because this will then turn the Gospels themselves into Gossips, which in reality they are without a doubt, and this will further prove that the Bible contains many many man-made lies, which it does.  That is why the gospels of Mark, Luke and John and the history books are virtually silent about these monumental events.  Because it's a lie!

         

    From http://www.answering-christianity.com/sami_zaatri/rebuttal_to_sam_shamoun_65.htm:

    The Adam Clarke Commentary:  

    It is difficult to account for the transaction mentioned Matthew 27:52,53. Some have thought that these two verses have been introduced into the text of Matthew from the gospel of the Nazarenes; others think that the simple meaning is this:-by the earthquake several bodies that had been buried were thrown up and exposed to view, and continued above ground till after Christ's resurrection, and were seen by many persons in the city. Why the graves should be opened on Friday, and the bodies not be raised to life till the following Sunday, is difficult to be conceived. The place is extremely obscure.
       

      

    Error #5:

    While on the cross, did Jesus accept the drink or refuse it?  And what was the drink??

    Like I mentioned above, Christians boast about how detailed their Bible is.  Yet, the Bible that they boast about is too confused, too confusing, too erroneous, and too off in its accounts, so much that one can not get an honest and accurate account about any event!  So after all, this big book that is called the Bible is no more than a pile of man-made corruption and hoaxes.

    With this said, let us now examine the following confusing and erroneous hoax about Jesus, the drink, and what drink did he have:

    Mark 15:23
    23 And they gave him to drink
    wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

    Matthew 27:48-50
    48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
    49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
    50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

    Luke 23:36-38
    36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
    37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
    38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    John 19:29-30
    29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
    30 When Jesus therefore had received the
    vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

    There are lots of errors and contradictions in these verses:

    1-  We do not know whether the drink was wine or vinegar.  If Jesus was offered apple juice, then don't tell me it was orange juice!  Vinegar is not wine and a wine is not vinegar!  They are not the same.

    2-  Mark 15:23 directly clashes with John 19:29-30 about whether or not Jesus accepted the drink (whatever that drink was).  Did Jesus accept it or did he reject it?  We do not know.  The accounts are too conflicting. 

    3-  Furthermore, Matthew 27:48-50 and Luke 23:36-38 are not even sure about whether or not Jesus took in the drink or not!

    Why is this relevant?  Because the Christians and their corrupt Bible do not have any solid and clear-cut information about virtually anything!  All they have are conflicting accounts and man-made corruptions and speculations.

    Do you know the answer?  Could you honestly tell me what the drink precisely was, and whether or not Jesus Christ accepted that drink?

      

      

    (d)-  Contradictions in other accounts:

    From http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm:

      

    1-  Contradictions on Historical Accounts:

    Consider the following few examples that consist of historical contradictions in the Bible:

    The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie(From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

    2 Samuel 10:18 - David slew 700 and 40,000 horsemen and Shobach the commander.
    1 Chronicles 19:18 - David slew 7000 chariots and 40,000 footmen.

    2 Chronicles 9:25 - Solomon had 4000 stalls for horses and chariots.
    1 Kings 4:26 - Solomon had 40,000 stalls for horses.

    Ezra 2:5 -  Arah had 775 sons.
    Nehemiah 7:10 - Arah had 652 sons.

    2 Samuel 24:13 - SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE.
    1 Chronicles 21:11-12 - THREE YEARS OF FAMINE.

    How did Judas die?
    Matthew 27:5 - Hanged himself.
    Acts 1:18 - And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed out.

    2 Chronicles 36:9 - Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he began to reign.

    1 Kings 16:6-8 - 26th year of the reign of Asa, Baasha reigned over Israel.
    2 Chronicles 16:1 - 36th year of the reign of Asa, Baasha reigned over Israel.

    How old was Ahaziah when he began to reign?
    22 in
    2 Kings 8:26
    42 in
    2 Chronicle 22:2

    Who was Josiah's successor?
    Jehoahaz -
    2 Chronicle 36:1
    Shallum -
    Jeremiah 22:11

         

    2-  Commentaries of Bibles' theologians admitting to the countless corruptions.

    "Many scholars of the past two centuries have denied that John wrote this book, partly because of their belief that the author fabricated many details such as the miracles and the discourses of Jesus.  (The Holman Illustrated Study Bible, ISBN: 978-1-58640-275-4, Gospel of John, Page1540)"

    "Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark.  They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark.  His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost.  (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"

    "Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke.  (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)"

    "The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients.  (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"

    3-  The Catholic Encyclopedia, New Advent, stating that all of the books and gospels had been corrupted.

    From http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14530a.htm:

    "IV. TRANSMISSION OF THE TEXT

    No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author-- all have been in some way altered. The material conditions under which a book was spread before the invention of printing (1440), the little care of the copyists, correctors, and glossators for the text, so different from the desire of accuracy exhibited to-day, explain sufficiently the divergences we find between various manuscripts of the same work. To these causes may be added, in regard to the Scriptures, exegetical difficulties and dogmatical controversies. To exempt the sacred writings from ordinary conditions a very special providence would have been necessary, and it has not been the will of God to exercise this providence."

     

    4-  The X-Rated Pornography in the Bible further proves the corruption:

    From www.answering-christianity.com/incestuous_fantasies.htm:

    Song of Songs 8:1-3 "If only you were to me as a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.  I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink [i.e., her vagina's semen!], the nectar of my pomegranates.  His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me."

    2-  Isaiah 53 and its mistranslations:

    Before we look at the Isaiah 53 chapter, I'd like for you to keep the following important points about the chapter in mind:

     

    (a)-  Isaiah 53's symbolic speeches:

    (Most of the following points were taken from brother Musa's rebuttal; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him)

    1-  Isaiah 53:3 says that "Jesus" is despised by all men.  In Luke 10:1, Jesus has at least 70 followers, and in other verses we're told that he fed and healed thousands (John 6:9-11, Luke 17:11-19 and other verses).

    2-  In Isaiah 53:5 it says he was wounded for our transgressions.  Now right away one might assume this is the death of Jesus.  However it says he was WOUNDED not killed.  But let us go with killed for your arguments sake.  This is not what this verse is saying.  It is saying that they made a mistake so he is paying for it.  They plotted or accused against him.  This is exactly what happened.  And again, the verse says wounded, which further proves that Christ was never killed.

    3-  Isaiah 53:7 states that "he did not open his mouth".  There are two possible interpretations and answers to this:

    1. Jesus never literally spoke a single word during the crucifixion trial.  This is obviously wrong because Jesus spoke during his trial with both Pontius Pilot and the Jews.  And we all know Jesus' famous and final cry to GOD Almighty when he said:  "Eloi Eloi lama sabachtani!", which translates: "My GOD my GOD, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)  So wrong.  He did open his mouth.
       
    2. Jesus did not object to GOD Almighty's Will.  This is also wrong, because again, Jesus cried during the crucifixion "My GOD my GOD why have you forsaken me?", and he also prayed ENDLESSLY to GOD Almighty on the night of the crucifixion to not get crucified!  (Matthew 16:39, Matthew 26:36-44, Luke 6:12) He even bowed down his face to Allah Almighty in worship endless times begging Him for a change in Decision.  So yes, Jesus did object.

    4-  Isaiah 53:9 says that he made his grave with the wicked and the rich.  According to http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-9.htm:

    "in his death" is also a false translation to the Hebrew Mawth.  At the worst, it should be translated as "in death", making the word a symbolic one as further confirmed in the Hebrew lexicon:
  • "in his death
    maveth  (maw'-veth)
    death (natural or violent)
    [notice not "his death".  It only says "death"]; concretely, the dead, their place or state (hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin -- (be) dead(-ly), death, die(-d)."

    (http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-9.htm)

    So in his death here is symbolically referring to his execution trial and not necessarily his physical and literal death.  This is further proven in Young's Literal Translation of the verse:

    He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death [Here is how the literal translation says: "And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places"....This is verified at this link: (Young's Literal Translation)], though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
      
     

  • Other translations read:

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah 53:9;&version=51;

    Isaiah 53:9 (New Living Translation)
    9 He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.
     
    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah 53:9;&version=46;

    Isaiah 53:9 (Contemporary English Version)
    9 He wasn't dishonest or violent, but he was buried in a tomb of cruel and rich people.

  •  
    There are also two errors in the fulfillment of this Prophecy:

    1. Jesus was never buried (Matthew 27:59-66, Matthew 28)!  He was temporarily placed in a tomb and then his body disappeared after that.  But he never ONCE was buried under ground as our dead get buried.
       
    2. Jesus, who was never buried from the first place, was also NEVER BURIED with the wicked and the rich.  His tomb was placed in an isolated area as recorded in the gospels.

    Again, verse 9 says that he was to be buried with both the wicked and the rich.  Jesus was buried alone.

    5-  In Isaiah 53:10-11, GOD Almighty will prolong Jesus' life and Jesus will live to even see his offspring (his children)!  And Christ will see the Light and be satisfied after the suffering of his soul.  The suffering of his soul here is referring to the overwhelming fear that Jesus had and the countless cries and Prayers that he made to Allah Almighty to save him.  Psalm 91 further speaks clearly on this.  Also, Jesus' life was never made long or extended.  He only lived for 33 years, so we're told in the gospels, and he certainly never married any woman nor had any child from any woman.  Yet, Isaiah 53:10 clearly says that he will live and he will have and see his children.

    6-  In Isaiah 53:12, we are told that Jesus' life or soul will be poured unto death.  To me, given the Islamic position about Christ never got crucified, and given the symbolic speech in Isaiah 53 chapter that most of it conflicts with what really took place with Christ in the gospels, and given the fact that many early writings in Palestine and elsewhere stated clearly that Jesus never got crucified such as in the Apocalypse of Peter and other ancient texts, then my interpretation of this verse about Jesus' life being poured unto death means to me that Jesus' life will overpower death!  This is indisputably proven in Psalm 91 where it states that not only Jesus will not get crucified, but GOD Almighty will also hear his cries and will send down the Angels to PROTECT HIM and SAVE HIM.  And Psalm 91 also says that Christ will call upon GOD Almighty and GOD Almighty will HEAR him and HONOR himChrist would not have been honored if he have died the humiliating death of the cross.  And certainly, he would not have been "saved" either by the Angels.
     

     

    Given all of this, let us now look at the Chapter of Isaiah 53 in the Bible:

    1
    Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
    2
    He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
    3
    He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
    4
    Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
    5
    But he was pierced wounded (KJV) for our transgressions, he was crushed bruised (KJV) for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
    6
    We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
    7
    He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
    8
    By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
    9
    He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death [Here is how the literal translation says: "And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places"....This is verified at this link: (Young's Literal Translation)], though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
     

    Isaiah 53:9 says that he made his grave with the wicked and the rich.  According to http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-9.htm:

    "in his death" is also a false translation to the Hebrew Mawth.  At the worst, it should be translated as "in death", making the word a symbolic one as further confirmed in the Hebrew lexicon:
  • "in his death
    maveth  (maw'-veth)
    death (natural or violent)
    [notice not "his death".  It only says "death"]; concretely, the dead, their place or state (hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin -- (be) dead(-ly), death, die(-d)."

    (http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-9.htm)

    So in his death here is symbolically referring to his execution trial and not necessarily his physical and literal death.  This is further proven in Young's Literal Translation of the verse:

    He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death [Here is how the literal translation says: "And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places"....This is verified at this link: (Young's Literal Translation)], though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

    Isaiah 53:9 (New Living Translation)
    9 He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.

    Isaiah 53:9 (Contemporary English Version)

  • 10
    Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
    According to Christianity, Jesus Christ was single and never married nor did he have children.  This verse clearly refutes Christianity, because the Servant here will live to see his biological children ("his offspring") along with his days being prolonged (made longer).  Christ died at the young age of 33 according to Christianity, which is also against this verse.  Christs' years are short in Christianity, while in Isaiah 53:10, the servant's years are very long and extended along with him living them with his biological children.
    11
    After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
    12
    Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death [It doesn't at all mean that he will die.  The literal translation says: "Because that he exposed to death his soul"....This is verified again at this link: (Young's Literal Translation).......Both Islam and Isaiah 52:13 claim that Jesus never got crucified. See below.], and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

     

    (b)-  Isaiah 53:12:

    The mistranslated verse states:

    Isaiah 5:12 "....because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors....." 

    This verse doesn't clearly state that the predicted servant will actually die.  It could be easily read as he will defeat, overpower and/or escape death.  Also, when we study carefully the poetical literature of Isaiah 53, and study carefully the claims made above, we see that "him pouring his life unto death" means that the goodness that he will bring from GOD Almighty will be the light that will bring his people from darkness (death) into light (goodness).  He will defeat death (darkness).  Isaiah 5:12 does not state that he will die.  It clearly states that he will shadow or overwhelm death by his life.

    If I, for instance, pour my cup of cranberry juice on the white carpet, then I would create a big red spot on the carpet.  I wouldn't be changing the juice into carpet, or the carpet into juice.  No, I would simply defeat the whiteness of the carpet by the color of the juice.  That's what pouring the juice on the carpet means.

    Same thing applies with the servant pouring his life unto death.   GOD Almighty considers evil doing and not believing in Him as equal to death.  

    Important Note: In many Verses in the Bible, we see that GOD Almighty used in Hebrew, Sheol, the word for "hell" as the same Hebrew word for "death".  That is why the Christian Jehovah Witnesses don't believe in "Hell Fire" as punishment for the unbelievers.  They believe that "Hell" is actual "Death".   So to put it in other words, Isaiah 53:12 could also mean that the Servant (Jesus) will over shadow or cover "hell (death)" with "life (good)".  So whoever believes in that Servant from the People of Israel will be saved from hell or death.

    Have Isaiah 53:12 clearly said "and he will die for people's sins and resurrect after 3 days", then we would have nothing to argue about.  So Jesus pouring his life (good) unto death (bad), means that whomever believes in his message from the People of Israel will defeat bad (darkness) and will be saved, and will have Jesus' life (goodness).  This perfectly matches what Islam claims about our beloved Prophet Jesus peace be upon him.

    3-  The crucifixion would've broken at least one bone, refuting John 19:30-40!

    If we were to take the Bible literally, then we will see clear contradictions in the crucifixion story.  Let us look at what the Bible says about piercing Jesus:

    John 19:30-40:

    30
    When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
    31
    Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
    32
    The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.
    33
    But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
    34
    Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
    35
    The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.
    36
    These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken,"

     

    The Verses that reference the Bones:

    "A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.  (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 34:19-20)"

    As these verses don't even seem to be talking about the Messiah or any crucifixion, but assuming that they did, notice how Psalm 34:20 says that GOD Almighty will protect "all his bones".  So, not even an inch from his bones will be damaged according to the Scriptures - again assuming that the verses are even talking about the Messiah!!  This is exactly what the Noble Quran and Isaiah 52:13 say!

    Also, notice how Psalm 34:19 says that the LORD delivers him from "ALL OF THE troubles, which clearly goes against the crucifixion lie.  But anyway despite the John 19:36 verse, I still proved, by Allah Almighty's Mercy, Grace and Will, that the Psalm verses actually further proved the Noble Quran's claims along with Isaiah 52:13, and Jesus' Disciples' and the Early Christians original writings that were found in Palestine and Egypt about Jesus never got crucified!  See below...
     

    Also, please visit: Chapter Psalm 91 clearly and indisputably confirms that Jesus never got crucified!

    Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified.

    Psalm 22 and 88 confirm Islam's claim about Jesus never got crucified.

    A serious forgery in Luke 24:44-48 about Jesus' "resurrection on the third day" claiming that it was foretold in the OT when it wasn't!

    Forgery of Matthew 23.
     

     

    37
    and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."
    38
    Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away.
    39
    He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
    40
    Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.

    First of all, notice the man-made third party narration in the book of John.  The NIV Bible's Historians and Theologians are not even sure who wrote the books of John, 1 John, 2 John and 3 John.  The original authors are mysterious. 

    In the above verses, the mysterious author or authors suggest that Jesus' bones were reserved because the soldiers did not break his knees, hence this fulfills the Scriptures' prophecy that GOD will protect his body that not even a single bone would break.

  • Also see detailed refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20 that supposedly suggest that GOD Almighty was going to get pierced on the cross.
      
  • Hebrews 5:7-8 clearly and irrefutably claim that Jesus was saved from the cross; confirming Islam's claims.
     
  • None of Jesus' disciples witnessed the crucifixion. They "all fled" and "deserted" Jesus. This further confirms Islam's claims.
     
  • Chapter Psalm 91 clearly and indisputably confirms that Jesus never got crucified!
      
  • Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified.
      
  • Psalm 22 and 88 confirm Islam's claim about Jesus never got crucified.
     
  • A serious forgery in Luke 24:44-48 about Jesus' "resurrection on the third day" claiming that it was foretold in the OT when it wasn't!
     
  • Forgery of Matthew 23.
     
  • Contradictions in the resurrection story in the Bible.
  •  
    Let us look at the obvious contradiction in the above verses:

    Taken from the above verses:   "These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken,' and, as another scripture says, 'They will look on the one they have pierced.'  (From the NIV Bible, John 19:36-37)"

    "A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.  (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 34:19-20)"

    Again, as these verses don't even seem to be talking about the Messiah or any crucifixion, but assuming that it did, notice how Psalm 34:20 says that GOD Almighty will protect "all his bones".  So, not even an inch from his bones will be damaged according to the Scriptures - again assuming that the verses are even talking about the Messiah!!

    As you might know, the crucifixion back then was done by nailing to the cross the hands and the ankles or the feet.  If GOD Almighty was going to protect Jesus' body that not even a single bone will be broken, then how would the crucifixion and the death of Jesus be possible then?!

    My question to all Christians is:   How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?!

    And for the parts of the Bible that suggest that Jesus actually died (which clearly contradict the Verses that I presented above), please visit What parts of the Bible do Muslims believe are closest to the Truth?

     

    I clearly see the Noble Quran's Claim about Jesus being saved from crucifixion being confirmed in Psalm 34:20!

     

     

    Would Jesus have at least cracked a bone?

    When one's hand and feet are nailed to a cross and then he is left on the cross to die slowly and painfully, would his body's weight at least:

    1-  Not break a single bone from either one of his hands or one of his feet?

    2-  Would he not at least crack a bone?

    A crack is a break!  And since we have 28 bones in each foot [1], and 27 bones in each hand [2], and some of them are very tiny and slim, then I find it quite impossible that at least not a single tiny one of them would break if the entire body's weight was resting on them.  But anyway, regardless, Psalm 91 which Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-6 link Jesus Christ to it, clearly declares that Christ won't get crucified.

     
    Sources:

    1-  "There are 26 bones in the human foot (28 if you include the sesamoid bones at the base of the big toe). These are: the Talus, which connects to the tibia at the ankle; the Calcaneus, which forms the heel; the Navicular, Cuboid, and three Cuneiforms (Medial, Intermediate, and Lateral), which form the middle of the foot; the five Metatarsals, which radiate out to the toes; and 14 Phalanges (2-3-3-3-3), which form the toes."

These muscles arise from the deep flexor (and are special because they have no bony origin) and insert on the dorsal extensor hood mechanism." (Source)

     

     

     

    4-  Islam denies the crucifixion and much of the Bible agrees:

    Both Muslims and Christians believe that the grave of Jesus today is empty.  It doesn't have his body in it, because both believe that he was raised to Heaven.  The difference between Muslims and Christians in this issue is that Muslims believe that Jesus never died on the cross but was raised to GOD Almighty.   Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross, was buried in the grave (obviously his foot would've struck at least one stone!), and was resurrected to GOD Almighty. 

    Both the crucifixion and resurrection, as we've seen above, are not supported nor were ever foretold in the Bible's Old Testament, especially for the resurrection!  I mean, Christians could doctor and twist verses and translations in the OT to support the crucifixion, but with absolute certainty, there is not a single verse in the entire OT that even talks about the resurrection.  Please visit:

  • A serious forgery in Luke 24:44-48 about Jesus' "resurrection on the third day" claiming that it was foretold in the OT when it wasn't!
     
  • Forgery of Matthew 23.  By Abdullah Smith.
     
  • The Resurrection hoax.  By Abdullah Smith.
     
  • Contradictions in the resurrection story in the Bible.
  • In Isaiah 53, all it says is that he will get pierced which again it never mentioned the cross nor did it ever mention any sort of resurrection, not just in this chapter, but also throughout the Old Testament.  If this servant is indeed Jesus peace be upon him, then him being pierced and never dying seems to perfectly support the Islamic teaching about Prophet Jesus peace be upon him NEVER died on the cross for anyone's sins.

    Let us look at the following Noble Verse from the Noble Quran (The Muslims Holy Scripture):

    "That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge;  That they said (in boast):  'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.'  But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.  Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise.  And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him  (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them.   (The Noble Quran, 4:156-159)"  

    Now compare the Noble Verses to Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be raised and lifted up....".   Notice that Isaiah 52:13 did not say "....he will be RESURRECTED and lifted up...."  Not even once, did the Old Testament predict for the foretold Servant to be raised to GOD Almighty after death.  There absolutely no mention of any sort of resurrection in the Bible's Old Testament what so ever.

    Here are the English translations of Isaiah 52:13 that say exactly "raised and lifted up" or something very similar: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16].

    The verses from the Noble Quran and Isaiah 52 are perfectly supported and confirmed at:

    Psalm 91 clearly confirms that Jesus never got crucified.

    Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified.

    Also, please visit: Does the Noble Quran in Verse 19:33 confirm Jesus' crucifixion?

    Furthermore, there are early writings that were found in Palestine that say that there is another who was called Jesus BarAbaa (son of his father since his father wasn't known) got crucified in the place of our Jesus Christ, whom people also called "Jesus BarAbaa".

    Again, I clearly see the Noble Quran's Claim about Jesus being saved from crucifixion being confirmed in Psalm 34:20!

     

     

     

    Jesus was never "disfigured" to a point "beyond human likeness"!

    Let us look at the following verse:

    Isaiah 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him - his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-"

    It appears that this verse further proves Islam's claims about Jesus, peace be upon him, never got crucified on the cross, because according to today's corrupt New Testament, Jesus never got disfigured to a point where no one could recognize his face; not from crucifixion, nor from the beating that he supposedly received before the crucifixion.

    Since the Bible was not documented until 150 to 300 years after Jesus peace be upon him, and during his ministry, nothing was ever documented on paper regarding his deity, we Muslims believe that a great deal of corruption had entered the Bible. The following reasons will clarify the Muslims' position:

    1- As I mentioned above, the Old Testament doesn't in predict the resurrection of Jesus, nor it ever considered him as GOD.  Please read The "God" title in Isaiah 9:6 was given to others before and after Jesus.

    2- The early Christians rejected Trinity and never believed in it.

    3- The disciples of Jesus (John, Mark, Luke, etc...) didn't write the Gospels that were named after them in the New Testament.  I quoted from the NIV Bible the Christian Theologians themselves regarding the history of the NT.

    4- We believe that few centuries after Jesus peace be upon him the Church tampered with the Bible and invented the Trinity belief.

    5- We only believe in Jesus' personal quotes as closest to the truth.

    6- Jesus himself in the New Testament taught what Islam teaches; the Oneness of GOD Almighty and doing Righteousness.

    7- Jesus according to Islam never got killed on the cross.  Allah Almighty saved him. As I mentioned in point #5, we only believe in Jesus' quotes as closest to the Truth in the New Testament.  Islam's claims regarding Allah Almighty saving Jesus seem to fit with Jesus peace be upon him asking Allah Almighty to save him from crucifiction (Matthew 26:39).

     

     

    5-  GOD Almighty Changed His Mind a lot throughout the Bible:

    Even though we do not have a single proof about the Old Testament prophesying about the Messiah's crucifixion, but in this section, we will go ahead and accept this man-made fabrication.  We are still left with ample verses, in the Bible, about GOD Almighty Changing His Mind a lot that clearly support that GOD Almighty Had all the reasons to save Jesus from the pain and humiliation of the crucifixion:

     

    GOD Almighty Changing His Emotions:

    Ample verses from the book of Isaiah.

     

    GOD Almighty Changing His Mind:

    Hosea 11:8
    How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.

    Amos 7:3
    So the LORD relented. "This will not happen," the LORD said.

    Jeremiah 18:8
    and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.

    Exodus 32:14
    Then the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

    Jonah 3:9-10
    Who can tell, God may turn and revoke His sentence against us, and turn away from His fierce anger so that we perish not. And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God revoked His evil that He had said that He would do to them and He did not do it.
     

    Joel 2:13-14
    Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil.  Who knows but what He will turn, revoke your sentence, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a cereal or meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God?

    1 Chronicles 21:15
    And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

    Exodus 32:14
    and Jehovah repenteth of the evil which He hath spoken of doing to His people.

    Genesis 6:6
    and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart.

    Judges 2:18
    And when Jehovah raised up to them judges -- then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.

    2 Samuel 24:16
    and the messenger putteth forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who is destroying among the people, `Enough, now, cease thy hand;' and the messenger of Jehovah was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

    Jeremiah 26:19
    Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil that He spake against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.

    My Challenge to Christians:

    Since the early Christians' and the Disciples' original writings all claim that Jesus never got crucified, then why couldn't Jehovah Almighty have said something similar to this:

    "...And Jehovah repented from the evil of crucifying the Messiah...."

    Why couldn't this be possible when GOD Almighty saw that the Jews were total losers and that no Prophet was ever fruitful with them?  They were even notorious in slaying Prophets:

    "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!  (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 23:37)"

    "We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!  (The Noble Quran, 2:87)"

    "And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of God. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of God and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing.  (The Noble Quran, 2:61)"

    "As to those who deny the Signs of God and in defiance of right, slay the prophets, and slay those who teach just dealing with mankind, announce to them a grievous penalty.  (The Noble Quran, 3:21)"

    "God hath heard the taunt of those who say: "Truly, God is indigent and we are rich!"- We shall certainly record their word and (their act) of slaying the prophets in defiance of right, and We shall say: "Taste ye the penalty of the Scorching Fire!  (The Noble Quran, 3:181)"

    Show one logical reason that would disprove my challenge here!  Didn't Jehovah Almighty already "repent" many times in the past from Divine Decisions that He has already taken as we clearly saw above?

     

     

    6-  The Jews' view on Isaiah 53:

    Please visit: The Jews' understanding of Isaiah 53.

     

     

    7-  Conclusion:

    It is quite clear from all of the verses and points above that:

    1-  We do not have a single clear-cut statement from the entire Old Testament that says that:

  • Jesus will get crucified.
  • Jesus will resurrect from death.
  • 2-  We have many verses from both the Old and New Testaments that declare that Jesus Christ will be saved and lifted by the Angels from any and all harm that his foes will try to throw at him.

    With this said, I ask my respected Jewish and Christian readers to reconsider your beliefs.  I ask you to give Islam a serious and honest research and thought.  I strongly recommend starting with the following links:

    1. The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran.
       
    2. What is Islam?
       
    3. The blessed Jesus in Islam.
       
    4. Answering Trinity.
       
    5. Allah is GOD Almighty's Holy Name in the Bible's original Manuscripts that were discovered - centuries before Islam.

    I want to end this article with the following verses from the Holy Quran, and the Bible's Old and New Testaments:

    "Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.  (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

    "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.  (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"

    "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"

    ""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone."   (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"

    "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?  (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 23:19)"

    Indeed, Jesus Christ, the man, is only a Messenger from Allah Almighty, and he was never crucified. 

    May Allah Almighty enable you to see the Light and the Truth of Islam.  And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our beloved and blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad.  Ameen.

     

     

    8-  Rebuttals:

    Many Christians have already attempted to directly refute this article by presenting several verses from the Bible's New Testament that say that Jesus:

    1. Was crucified.
    2. Died on the cross for our sins.
    3. Was raised from the dead.

    My response:

    My simple answer to them is that they have missed the entire point of this article.  If one could prove with ample and indisputable proofs, from the Bible's Old Testament, that GOD Almighty regarding the foretold Messiah:

    1. Will hear his cries (Psalm 91:15) and will save him (Psalm 91:3).
       
    2. He will cover him with His Protection (Psalm 91:4).
       
    3. Christ will then not have any fear in him (Psalm 91:5).
       
    4. Christ will then observe with his own eyes the punishment of the crucified ones (Psalm 91:8).
       
    5. No harm (this includes crucifixion!) or disaster will even come near Christ (Psalm 91:10....this even contradicts him getting beaten up before crucifixion).
       
    6. GOD Almighty will send down the Angels to protect him and lift him (Psalm 91:11-12, 14, Isaiah 52:13).  Not even his foot will strike the ground from his enemies pushing, grappling and punishment.
       
    7. Christ's call will be HEARD, and he will be delivered and honored (Psalm 91:15, Isaiah 52:13).  No way would these verses be valid if Christ got crucified.
       
    8. His life will be prolonged (extended) and he will live to even see his offspring (Isaiah 53:10 and Psalm 91:16, which by the way contradict Jesus never got married and had children.  In Islam's Noble Quran's 13:38, however, it is quite possible that Jesus Christ had wives and children).
       
    9. His life will overpower death (Isaiah 53:12).
       
    10. "Death" in Isaiah 53:9 is proven to be symbolic using the Hebrew Lexicon and several English translations, and it never meant a literal death.

    then one is clearly left with overwhelming proofs that prove that most of the New Testament is false, especially when we know that the Bible's own theologians admit that its books and gospels had all been:

    1. Written by mysterious men.
    2. Written by an unknown number of men.
    3. Written in unknown places.
    4. Written in unknown dates.
       
    5. Paul never even met Jesus Christ in person while the latter was on earth.  It is falsely claimed that Jesus appeared to Paul while Paul was on his way to Damascus after the "crucifixion" (Acts 9:2-4Note: Paul's name used to be Saul.  Yet, Paul admittedly wasn't even sure whether the Holy Spirit was inspirning him or not).
       
    6. None of the disciples, even in the false writings attributed to them, ever claimed that their writings were inspired or Divine.  Not only that, but we even ironically see that:
       
    7. Luke for instance, wrote his "gospel" for the sake of another person and not GOD Almighty.  See below for details.
    8. The disciples even fought with each others [1] [2].
    9. We read about direct invitations to dinner and other occasions between the disciples in the "books" [1].
    10. According to the commentaries below, all of the books of the bible were altered and corrupted.
       
    11.  The Bible's own theologians even admit that the bible contains "fictions", its original manuscripts "had been lost", and contains "fairy tails and fables".

     
    And, it is also an indisputable fact that the Bible:

    1. Is filled with ample contradictions, man's alterations, corruption, and false scientific absurdities.
       
    2. Is written in third-party narrations, which is why we find in all of the gospels' titles "This gospel according to....", and countless verses that speak about the disciples and about their activities in third-party narrations [1] [2] [3] [4], which proves that the books and gospels were certainly not written by them.
       
    3. This also means that much gossips and exaggerations and fabrications were made up and inserted into the books and gospels.  So even if some people back then thought that Jesus was crucified, they in reality never actually saw it.  It could very well be that they've only heard about it from a neighboring town and believed it.  There are certainly in the books and gospels:
       
    4. Too much gossips.
       
    5. Too wide of date gaps by the decades [1] [2] [3] [4] between when the supposed event took place and when it was actually written, by hand, in the corrupt gospels.
       
    6. Too many unknown people wrote the stories.
       
    7. Too many Prophecies in the Old Testament that promise that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, will be saved from the crucifixion.
       
    8. Too many mistranslations and desperate misinterpretations in Isaiah 53 and elsewhere.
       
    9. This also means that the books and gospels were definitely not inspired by GOD Almighty.  Paul even admits that he had his delusions and doubts.

    So now based on what objective grounds should we reject the claim about the Bible's New Testament's accounts being mostly false and fabricated by men?  And again, as I mentioned in the conclusion section, I strongly recommend visiting the following links:

    1. The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran.
       
    2. What is Islam?
       
    3. The blessed Jesus in Islam.
       
    4. Answering Trinity.
       
    5. Allah is GOD Almighty's Holy Name in the Bible's original Manuscripts that were discovered - centuries before Islam.

    I also want to end this rebuttal with the following verses from the Holy Quran, and the Bible's Old and New Testaments:

    "Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.  (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

    "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.  (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"

    "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"

    ""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone."   (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"

    "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?  (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 23:19)"

    Indeed, Jesus Christ, the man, is only a Messenger from Allah Almighty, and he was never crucified. 

    May Allah Almighty enable you to see the Light and the Truth of Islam.  And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our beloved and blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad.  Ameen.

     

     

     

     

    The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran.

    Contradictions and History of Corruption in the Bible.

    Just who were the authors of the Bible?

    Muhammad was prophesied in the Old Scriptures.

    Psalm 91 clearly confirms that Jesus never got crucified!

    Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indisputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified.

    Corruption in the Old Testament.

    Answering Trinity.

    The New Testament confirms the Apocalypse (Revelation in Greek) of Peter which claims that Jesus never died on the cross!

    Crucifixion of Jesus is a lie according to several of the Disciples' early writings.

    Also see detailed refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20 that supposedly suggest that GOD Almighty was going to get pierced on the cross.

    History of Man's corruption of the Bible.

    The New Testament was not even written by its original authors.

    The "God" title in Isaiah 9:6 was given to others before and after Jesus.

    The early Christians rejected Trinity and never believed in it.

    Contradictions in the resurrection story in the Bible.

    Was Jesus crucified on a tree (according to Peter), cross (according to others), or never got crucified (according to Islam)?

    We only believe in Jesus' personal quotes as closest to the truth.

    Jesus according to Islam never got killed on the cross.  Allah Almighty saved him.

    The blessed Jesus in Islam.

    Do Psalm 16:8-11 refer to Jesus' resurrection as the book of Acts suggest?

    Jesus was never crucified according to the Gospel of Barnabas.

    Isaiah 42-54 seem to predict Islam and the removal of GOD Almighty's Covenant from the people of Israel.

    Deconstructing Isaiah 53 & the crucifixion/resurrection of Jesus - Exposing Paul's inventions.

    None of Jesus' disciples witnessed the crucifixion. They "all fled" and "deserted" Jesus. This further confirms Islam's claims.
