It is not profitable to discuss the many doubts and conjectures among the early Christian sects and among Muslim theologians. “The end of the life of Jesus on earth is as much involved in mystery as his birth, and indeed the greater part of his private life, except the three main years of his ministry. Only someone wholly oblivious to history or with a diabolic agenda would dare deny this irrefutable reality.Ī Moslem scholar, who has written a brief commentary on the Qur’an expresses the Islamic viewpoint regarding this matter. The evidence for the death of the Lord is absolutely overwhelming. Early enemies of Christianity, such as Celsus and Lucian, also conceded that Jesus was put to death, as did the Patristic writers of the ante-Nicean period. The Roman writer, Tacitus, said that Christ was “executed” by Pilate ( Annals 15.44). Josephus, the Jewish historian, refers to Jesus’ death ( Antiquities 18.3.3). Secular history confirms that Christ died. Peter proclaimed this message (Acts 2:23 3:15 1 Pet. The New Testament spokesmen uniformly affirmed that Jesus died. 16:21) and that his body would be in the grave three days (Mt. Jesus himself declared that he would be killed (Mt. 12:10), led as a lamb to the slaughter (Isa.
The Old Testaments prophets foretold the death of Christ. This allegation is absolutely void of evidence. “That they said (in boast), ‘We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Apostle of God’ - 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, God raised him up Unto Himself and God Is Exalted in Power, Wise” Actually, it is alleged, he was “raised up” to God without dying on the cross (Sura IV.157-158). Rather, the Savior’s death was only “made to appear” as such.
Islam’s Qur’an asserts that Jesus was not crucified.
