    After the event of Crucifixion when Jesus' injuries got somewhat healed with the treatment given by Nicodemus, Jesus spent a the night at the village named Emmaus with the disciples. He had not died

    This posting is extremely biased, as it was written by a muslim. The worse part is that this person has the nerve to use the Holy Bible, God's inspired word, to deny the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. The bible states in 1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.". How do muslims believe in "Allah", if their book promotes  "torture, death, and hate"? This is very hypocritical.

    Jesus Christ is the BIGGEST proof of God's love towards humanity! Jesus Christ's sacrifice in the cross was because of His love towards us, so that we may have hope and eternal life. Jesus had no need to humble Himself into human form, when He was the King, the Son of God, the ruler of the universe. But He did anyways, just because He loved us. God's kingdom is based on loving us, and for all of us to love one another. The bible says: "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13

    Moreover, Jesus also said: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." - John 15:18
    "26When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning." - John 15:26-27
    "For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid down, which is Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 3:11.

    I personally KNOW that Jesus died in the cross for me because I always FEEL Him living inside of my heart. There is NO greater feeling of joy in the world than the comfort and assurance of the Holy Spirit that testifies about Jesus' sacrifice and existence. I do NOT have to see Him personally, but I can FEEL Him. Just like I feel, but can't see the air that I breathe, I feel Jesus living in me and it makes me feel complete and fulfilled because this surpasses everything. To anyone who lacks that joy, happiness, love, and assurance, I will like to make an invitation to meet Jesus Christ, the Savior, the Son of God, and the One that has full control on determining our eternal life. Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and The Life..no one comes to the Father, but through Him (John 14:6). To me, that is the biggest proof of His existence and death in the cross, I don't need anything or anyone to tell me that He exists or saved me, because I experienced this grace myself.

    "And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." - Matthew 3:17

    "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." - 1 Corinthian 1:18

    we do not seem to be getting anywhere on this thread.  I thought it was going to tell us Jesus was actually put to death on a torture stake, a straight tree, rather than a cross.  That is my belief

      Whtether it was a stake or a straight tree; that is not the focal point; they wanted to prove Jesus a falsle prophet in terms of Deutrenomy by killing him; they could not kill Jesus on the it and against all odds Jesus escaped and saved his life; the Creator-God Allah YHWH helped him out.

      It doesn't matter what the shape of the torture instrument was.  More than likely, it was a cross piece of rough wood mounted on a pole, but that's not the point.  The meaning of Jesus' unselfish act of allowing the Roman soldiers nail him there is his self-sacrificial love for all who would trust in his perfect life, self-denying death, and real resurrection is the point.  God the first Person sent the second Person, Jesus, to live as the God-man; die taking on believers' guilt, and providing new life for believers through his resurrection.  They both send the third Person, the Holy Spirit, into believers' lives to give them the miracle of the new birth.  Without Jesus' death, we are all guilty before the Judge (Creator) of humanity.

    The issue of Paul is actually quite central to the whole idea of the 'lineage' of the bible.  There is clear evidence that Paul never met Jesus - if he existed - but there is supported evidence that he mat some of the disciples and fell out with Peter (The ROCK that it is claimed Jesus would build his church on) during political manoevring - he then went off to re-write the stories as he saw fit.  One can only imagine in a way contrary to what Peter and the disciples who we are to believe were charged with the job and who would have been witnesses to the stories if they had happened.

    lol

    Yeah, I understand that Peter's ‘real’ version of events was vastly different from Paul's...Peter had Jesus come down from the cross, stretch a bit, and then go out to for a diet coke and a slice of veggie pizza.  Afterwards he opened up a small sandal repair shop in east Jerusalem (Sandal’s R Us).

    The attempts to use mutilate and alter Christian beliefs by other religious movements, while at the same time accept the ‘holy’ nature of Jesus, is laughable.  Looking for ‘proof’ to justify such beliefs in unsubstantiated ‘historical evidence’, or claiming that Paul single-handedly created and spread misinterpreted events, is ridiculous. 

    Far more credible in my opinion would be arguments of atheists that deny Jesus outright...  rather than trying to put a square peg in a round circle. There are those however who are self-serving and who seek to further their own religious beliefs by twisting the story of Jesus to support their own faiths.

    Void of original ideas and the true beauty and meaning of the New Testament’s message, their hodgepodge of arguments and notions are nothing but a tapestry of meaningless, unsubstantiated theories.  They are the religious equivalent of ideas like the aliens building of pyramids... unconvincing and pathetic when you consider the faith placed behind sich notions

    But as long as everyone lets everyone else worship (or not worship) in peace... to each his own.

      Parr, 

      I know you and Islam want the world to know you 'Saved' Jesus.
      I t never happened Jesus died on the CROSS PERIOD'
      Jesus never had anything to do with Allah or Mohammed, that is just pure lies.

      Some writer put Jesus in the Quran and told Mohammed that is what Mohammed said.So Mohammed belived the writer because Mohammes could not read.

      Over 500 years are inbetween Mohammed and Jesus, so clever writers tricked Mohammed, it was so easy Mohammed could not read.

        the real question is

        is it possible that jesus could have survived a public crucifixion

        the answer i think is yes

        look at the physical evidence

        his torture was unusual
        he spent the whole night being interrogated
        he was whipped as option A
        he got help to carry the cross /a helper appears
        he was lucid on the cross and on the way to calvary
        he did not have his legs broken as was usual
        a request succeeded in the removal of the body
        this early removal suited all parties;romans /followers/Scribes
        a tomb is suddenly offered
        what happens next/


        i think as a crime scene it is very interesting

                That's just a cop out statement
                Is that as much as you have
                Maybe he did ,Maybe he didn't is inconclusive to either side
                The bulk of the evidence points to the fact that he probably was dead when taken from the cross
                It's no easy thing to survive a public execution.
                If you cannot even think about the parameters of your own statement then maybe you should start a hub selling google adds.

    You have been saying this since I have been Hubbing, it was a PURE LIE then and still is a PURE LIE.

    You belong to a Muslim sect, MAINSTREAM ISLAM states your sect is WRONG, every person with REASON knows you are WRONG.

    You continue to tell your LIES, NO ONE will ever belive you.

    Let you prove WITH REASON your LIE, prove Jesus did NOT DIE on the CROSS, I have some BAD NEWS for you Paar, no one came down ALIVE. PERIOD

    Just a thought Parr you have 'lost' on Jesus dieing on the Cross, what 'tall story' will you come up with next.

    On your next post Parr try to make it a bit more BELIVABLE, if you can, because no body belives your last statement with ary reason.

    So please Paar get over it, Jesus did die on the cross to save all mankind, yes Parr even you.

    power will enforce His way and his will whether silly
    mankind agrees or disagrees so what is the point! The time
    we live in is just like the times of Noah before the floods
    came and wiped humanity off of the fave of the earth. People
    had been warn about 120 yrs yet none headed the warning and so
    it is today! Look God is not a salesman pleading with mankind
    to believe in Him and accept Him No God is Almighty Sovereign
    Ruler over all that by His divine power will enforce His ways
    upon all after the allotted time for mankind is done! Let

      I agree with you. The Promised Messiah 1835-1908 wrote a book and mentioned the true teachings of the truthful religion and named it "Arch of Noah"; just that humanity is saved; one may read it if one is open minded and is sure of oneself; no compulsion however. One may read it out of one's own free will; the book is available on line free of cost.

          It's true that Christ prayed in the Garden, but he was still crucified- his sacrifice of the only pure life was what allowed him to take on all sin- past, present and future- and redeem us.  Because he died, he purchased us back from condemnation, and when he rose again on the third day, he brought back with him the keys to death and hell.  Because he died, he was able to save us- because he was holy, death could only hold him three days' time.  Isn't it amazing?  ^^

              So you say.  The Bible says differently.  There is a reason Christianity permeated the Middle East and Europe at the start of the ADs, and that was before it was ever an official religion.  There was a reason his disciples were ready to be crucified, to be boiled in oil, to be lit on fire as human candles in a king's garden- and it all began with Jesus.

                I think it is incorrect to say that about disciples who wrote the gospels that they were ready to be crucified. In fact they all ran away from the scene of the Cross leaving their master alone to suffer on the Cross; they deserted Jesus; they cannot be considered to be believers in Jesus.

                  But it was after Jesus rose again that their faith was solidified, and in the end, I believe John was about the only one to die a natural death- AFTER being boiled in oil and exiled to Patmos for years.

    Have any of you read my book “It is time we truly know why Jesus wept at the grave of Lazarus”
    By N. K. David
    Published by author house UK Ltd and it is available worldwide online stores and on the publishers website.
    It’s a most read for all humanity. The point is that we believe what we accept as true, and only a fool would accept a belief that does not work for him or her. Maybe we have reasons to stand on a belief until we see reasons to quit. Many people are coming up with various doctrine and those that do not believe such doctrine, because it’s not the same old doctrine, call it a false doctrine. It is truly false just because it does not agree with yours?  But humanity has to know that it is truly time for a new beginning and my book is just a mark.

      How can you call someones doctrine true, or false, unless there is a "standard, true & established" one in place.
      If there were NO true doctrine, then ALL could be deemed true, and ALL could also be deemed false. To make the call, be sure you know the true (one first).

      So, are you introducing a new doctrine in your book?
      Is it in line with the rest of scripture?

    And you're full of malarkey.  Jonah spent three days and nights in the belly of the whale, true- but just as the unbroken bodies of unblemished lambs symbolized how Jesus' legs would not be broken, Jonah's time in the whale was symbolic of Jesus' death.  Jesus definitely died on the cross- but he did not go to heaven.  After taking all the world's sin- past, present and future- on himself, he died and went to Hell.  After three days however, he took the keys to the gates of Hell from Satan, and arose.  He LIVED again.  And for fifty days after he walked the earth again, and was witnessed by many, not the least of which were his disciples.  Then on the day of Pentecost he was taken up into Heaven.

    If you don't even know what you're talking about, you might want to get your facts straight first.  Attend a church service or two.  T_T  Honestly.

                    You have to step out on quite a bit of faith yourself, my friend.  You say you trust science, but trust is "faith," however you boil it down, and scientists make a lot of assumptions.  You are putting faith in man's assumptions.  Man is not only full of errors, but he is prideful- even if he is wrong, many is the time he will refuse to admit it.  You're taking just as big a leap of "faith" as I am- faith that the earth is billions of years old, that you evolved from an ape, that there is no life after death, that we have no eternal soul.  You have faith in a lot of things, just like I do.  If you want to boil it down to a matter of faith, aren't I putting mine to more constructive uses? 

                    If I don't believe that I evolved from an ape, that means I don't have the excuse of "fall into/with/back on my animal instincts."  At the same time, it means there is a reason I am different. 

                    If I don't believe that this world "happened" by chance, that means there was a Creator God who made us for a specific purpose.  I am not without reason to be here.

                    If I don't believe that after death is simply nothing, that means that this eternal soul must have a place to go.  Where is it?  What is it like?  And if there are multiple places, how is it chosen where I end up?

                    You live on a faith that says "there is nothing."  I live on a faith that says "there is everything."

                I think Jonah was engulfed by a whale and remained in there for a while; Jonah prayed to be saved and his prayer was accepted by the Creator-God, and the fish put him out of his mouth on the coast; Quran does not mention Jonah spending the period of three days and three nights in the belly of fish.

            When one dies, one does not "hang around"; one goes to the afterlife- Heaven or Hell.  I don't see how a miracle like dying and then being brought back to life would be overlooked in the story.  And after such a miracle, why would Jonah still be so ill about speaking to the Ninevites?  It's not even in step with human psychology to keep a miracle like that under wraps, even if we hate someone.  I'm not confirming or denying your hypothesis, but it seems highly unlikely.  ^^;

            The focal point is that Jonah did not die in the belly of the fish; he went in the belly of the fish alive, remained alive there, prayed there to the Creator-God, his prayer was heard, therefore, he came alive out of the fish alive, he went to his people who had not accepted him earlier; they realized their mistake and accepted Jonah a truthful Messenger and Prophet of the Creator-God.

            Since Jesus prophesied and made this a point of resemblance with Jonah; hence he did not die on the Cross.

              The consuming of Jonah was a similitude of the death burial and resurection of Christ, just as was the animal sacrifice that ancient Israel was comanded by God to perform. Jesus was crucified on the day of the passover when the unblemmished lamb was killed to remove the sins of the people.

              But you see my friend, Jesus did die on the cross.  Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. 

              What would be the point of redemption if it was done by a man who deserved to die?  There would be no significance to it.  The innocent took the place of the guilty and took the punishment of the guilty on His own back. 

              Noone can see the Heavenly without dying first in the flesh.  There is no redemption for mankind outside of believing in Christ's death, burial and resurrection along with confession of sins.

                The Creator-God Allah YHWH has never been blood thirsty; it is a misconception spread by Paul and the Church to deviate people from the right path. There is no reality in it. It is very cruel to kill one's son or daughter.

          Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) was born in 1835 in Qadian, a small village situated in the district of Punjab in India. He was born to a noble, land-owning family of Qadian. He received his education from various tutors who were 'not men of any great learning and the proficiency attained by him consisted merely in the reading of Persian and Arabic and in the ability to express himself fluently in the former and to a limited extent in the latter. His education went no further'.1 He had, however, also studied a few books on medicine under the guidance of his father who was a skillful physician. Together with his love of study, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) was a devout worshipper and wished to spend a great deal of his time in prayer and supplication.

    You could argue that there's insufficient evidence to support Jesus' life in the first place, let alone the hypothesis that he's buried in northern India. I haven't seen one bit of evidence from a credible source to back this up.

    I think there's a few Kashmiri hoteliers and postcard-wallas laughing their heads off about this one. I can see why this myth would be propergated from this end as I can't imagine the Kashmiri Tourist Board is having an easy time of things given the region's recent history.

          In the parable (of Jonah) he (Jesus) had also hinted that he would come out of the bowels of the earth and would then join the people and, like Jonah, would be honored by them. So this prophecy too was fulfilled; for Jesus, coming out of the bowels of the earth, went to his tribes who lived in the eastern countries, Kashmir and Tibet, etc. viz. the ten tribes of the Israelites who 721 years before Jesus, had been taken prisoner from Samaria by Shalmaneser, King of Assur, and had been taken away by him. Ultimately, these tribes came to India and settled in various parts of that country.

          Jesus at all events must have made this journey; for the divine object underlying his advent was that he should meet the lost Jews who had settled in different parts of India; the reason being that these in fact were the lost sheep of Israel who had given up even their ancestral faith in these countries, and most of whom had adopted Buddhism, relapsing, gradually into idolatry. Dr. Bernier, on the authority of a number of learned people, states in his Travels that the Kashmiris in reality are Jews who in the time of the dispersal in the days of the King of Assur had migrated to this country.

Both he and Laurence Gardner in his book *The Grail Enigma* reach similar conclusions although Kersten concentrates on the mission work of the disciple Thomas and Jesus Christ in the East, eventually in Kashmir as the home base; while Gardner concentrates on the family of Mary Magdalene, the children, Joseph of Arimathea and Phillip, in the West.

    They both reach the conclusion that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross, but was got down alive, with the help probably of bribed Roman soldiers. Kersten goes into much detail about how scientists have proved the Turin shroud impressions not to be from blood, but from sweat, and the herbs taken to the tomb, aloe and myrrh, being for the treatment of wounds, not embalming oils. It is therefore very surprising that neither seems to have read the others book – certainly neither lists the other in their indexes.

    Both of them point out that Jesus Christ walked around with his disciples, showed them his wounds, and ate and drunk with them after the crucifixion. Both believe that Paul did not have any vision of Jesus on the Road to Damascus, but met the real, still living Jesus, according to Kersten about 2 years after the crucifixion.

    Kersten believes that the wise men from the East may have been coming to look for Jesus Christ as a reincarnation – possibly of Budda or Krishna, effectively a Jewish Dalai Lama. What is unlikely is that, after all that, he would merely disappear to heaven in a puff of smoke after 40 days. Which makes me wonder how much the Roman Church has tampered with Acts, as well as with the Gospel of Mark.

    Both Kersten and Gardner effectively verify the Koran as dictated by the Archangel Gabriel:

    *They denied the truth, and uttered a monstrous falsehood against Mary. They declared: We have put to death the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary, the Messager of G-d.*

      Paarsurrey,

      Your main question is an interesting proposition that should not be dismissed without investigation; however many of your claims cannot be backed up----
      First, If the Bible is not God-originated, then how can you say the Quran is? If you say one is from God and not the other, then it's all back to belief and none of us really have any point in arguing with each other.
      Second, how are you knowledgeable on the Bronze age Jewish and Christian honor of the sabbath day? As far as I know, the Jews very strictly kept their sabbath... many modern Jews and Christians do as well. Have you heard of the 7th Day Adventists?
      Third, the 'constable'/guard/soldier who pierced the side of Jesus to ensure death was certainly not a Jew, but a member of the Roman occupation and therefore maybe even pagan. He would not have been overly concerned piercing him since he did not believe in the divinity of the corpse, as Bruce Leiter was mentioning in some earlier comment...
      Of course the Bible, like many religious texts, is warped history entwined with mythology, in this case, of the Israelite people. I have yet to study the Quran, but I think it too contains many of the same myths concerning Adam and Eve, Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Issac and so on, just with different versions of the stories and therefore different belief systems.
      The Bible very clearly states that Jesus DIED on the cross in numerous instances... but the hypothesis of Jesus migrating to India is always a curious thought that would be great to be able to prove. However, I have not yet seen any convincing evidence that does so.

        Paar alsways bangs on about Jesus going to India for a chicken vindaloo, but I'm going to have to disappoint him.

        According to that great stirring hymn "Jerusalem" those feet of Christ walked upon England's green an pleasant lands. Contrary to the End Time prophets of tribulation doom, He shall not rest until the New Jerusalme is established in England.......sniff and wipes away an emotional tear.

    Hello Paarsurrey;
    I appreciate the fact that you are taking the time to discredit Jesus and win converts to Islam. But based on your comments i can tell you havent read the Bible well. Because if you did you would have found out that, there are many prophecies in the Old Testament that reveal exactly when the Messiah would come, where He would be born, circumstances of His birth, exact date of His baptism, His ministry and the exact date and manner of His death. And His resurrection as well. And also His post resurrection ministry in heaven. All this and much much more were prophesied hundreds and hundreds of years before Christ Himself was born. And all of them were fulfilled down to the letter.
    I know you will ask me to mention these texts, but i will not. I want you to go home and search the Old Testament for yourself and see. You should have done these before posting your comment. Cause it is very clear you are attacking something you know very little about.
    And please, don't use the Koran to bash the Bible. For you will not manage to convince any Christian.

    Paarsurrey, you are laboring under the typical misunderstanding of the fundamentalist Biblical exegete. The typological story of Johah in the belly of the whale for three days is not to be taken as literally true but as allegorically true. The Bible has four levels of exegesis:  1. the LITERAL, 
    2. the ALLEGORICAL,  3. the MORAL, and  4. the ANAGOGICAL.   

            Because you are looking at the Jonah story as ALLEGORY (you use it to draw a parallel between Jonah's three days in the whale and Christ's three days in the tomb), we will discuss that level mostly.

            What you are doing is to confuse the ALLEGORICAL with the LITERAL. Let me explain: You are using the Jonah story as something to be interpreted as a LITERAL precursor to the Passion story of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There are two mistakes in doing so.

            First, although you are right to see the Jonah tale as allegory, you see that tale as having a literal component or meaning. From this literalist error, you demand a perfect parallel between that tale and the Resurrection one of Christ. But when you mix and allegorical and the literal, you find yourself (as you have done) giving greater weight to the one and not the other. Here, you have given greater weight to the literal. And what, then, have you missed? You miss the idea that the story of Jonah in the belly of the whale for three days and nights is a very good literary example of ALLEGORY, nothing more. But that should be enough!!! But no. You must force it to be perfectly literal, as well, resulting in a confused expectation that a thing should be literal and allegorical at the same time, which is clearly impossible.

           If on Valentine's day I receive a card from my wife with a big picture on the front of a heart, and if the inside of the card says, "I give my heart to you," I will expect her to mean that she gives me her love, a thing the heart often represents in our iconography. I do not expect her to cut her actual heart out and give it to me to show me how much she loves me.

             But you ARE asking the tale of Jonah to do that very thing: you are asking it to be an allegory of Christ's death and resurrection and, at the same time, to be a literal interpretation. You cannot have it both ways.

            You are also making even the greater mistake of saying that the Jonah story, as you have literally interpreted it, is somehow binding (in each of its' particulars) on its latter typological referent, that each element of the Jonah story must have its exact and literal counterpart in Christ's story. If this were an accurate analysis, that would mean that the fullest significance of Christ's Death and Resurrection were limited to what is a foreshadowing of that event.

            The foreshadowing does not limit the Almighty. In other words, you have things backwards: you say that Christ could not have actually died because that's not what happened to Jonah! That's actually blasphemously backwards. It is more true to say that Jonah could not actually have died, because Christ DID. Being Divine, of course, Christ COULD rise from the dead. Being merely human, Jonah COULD NOT. All you have to do to get this straight is accept that Christ is God. Simple as that. Then all the twisted and convoluted hermeneutics can stop. Oh, and by the way, please stop with all of that "Christ (Blessings be upon him)" stuff. Remember, we don't bless Him; He blesses us.                                                                                                           





    The literal sense is the meaning conveyed by the words of Scripture and discovered by exegesis, following the rules of sound interpretation: “All other senses of Sacred Scripture are based on the literal.”

    The spiritual sense. Thanks to the unity of God's plan, not only the text of Scripture but also the realities and events about which it speaks can be signs.

        The allegorical sense. We can acquire a more profound understanding of events by recognizing their significance in Christ; thus the crossing of the Red Sea is a sign or type of Christ's victory and also of Christian Baptism.
        The moral sense. The events reported in Scripture ought to lead us to act justly. As St. Paul says, they were written “for our instruction.”
        The anagogical sense (Greek: anagoge, “leading”). We can view realities and events in terms of their eternal significance, leading us toward our true homeland: thus the Church on earth is a sign of the heavenly Jerusalem.
