The Koran says Jesus didn't die on the cross:\n\nAnd their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure. Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise. Qur'an, 4:157-158\n\nBut there are other passages that suggest he died later on earth instead of ascending to Heaven. What doesn't make sense is that God himself would put someone on the cross who looked like Jesus in order to fool the Jewish leaders. Why not just save Jesus. Why did someone have to die. Can't the Christians blame Allah for following Jesus if this story is true?

Jesus did not die naked on the cross, he also did not deserve to be crucified.  Jesus was the one and only human being that lived absolutely, positively perfect.  Completely sin free.  It was tradition to break the legs of the people crucified to hurry the death.  They did not do that to him either.  Neither the humiliation of nakedness, nor the breaking of the legs was tolerated by God, therefore it did not happen.

Why is there a cross? Well, it is a visual reminder each time I see it that Jesus carried my sins on the cross. (1 Peter 2:24) We know what love is because Jesus gave up His life for us on the cross. (1 John 3:16) His death on the cross was part of God's plan for our redemption. ( 1 Peter 1:20) Jesus was willing to die for OUR SIN. (Matt 26:53-54) He is perfect. ( Heb 7:25-26, 1 Peter 2:22) He died on the cross so I could be free. (Rom 6:6, Rom 6:18)When He died on the cross, Jesus said " It is finished" ( john 19:30) the actual word He used means "It is paid for." Our sins were paid for. When Christ rose from the dead, our sin remained buried. Since Jesus is risen, we can share in His glory! (Coll 1:22, Rom 3:22) The cross, once a symbol of torture and shame, is now a symbol of the victory of Christ! ( Heb 12:2) If you place your trust in Jesus, He will be your salvation. (John 14:1,23) Nothing can separate us from God's love. (Rom 8:39) He is with us always, even unto the end of time. (Rom 8:38, Matt 28:20)\n\nI wear a cross to remind me of what my Lord and Savior did for me. I recall His sacrifice and thank Him for loving me. I wear my cross as I follow Him.

The death of the Prophet Muhammad left a chasm that could not be filled. The rule of the first four Caliphs was in line with the Prophetic tradition, but those who came after them, those that did not have direct contact with the Prophet Muhammad, it was with them that the problems began.\n\nMarianne -> You are indeed correct. You believe Jesus died on the cross, right?\n\ncoloradohurricane - > There was no ambiguity in who was to be his successor. The fact that he appointed Abu Bakr to lead the prayer when he was sick, and appointed him to lead the farewell pilgrimage is a clear indication of who was to be his successor. Unfortunately, even this is not clear enough for some.

This question fails cuz Muslims don't believe he was on the cross. But if he was he would be dying of a combination of blood loos and suffocation due to his lungs inability to contract so he wouldn't have said anything.

The Bible theachs there is no one good...all have sinned and falen short of the glory of God that is why Jesus died for us. If we could be good enough then Jesus would not have had to die. so your answer is that if you die without Jesus you die in youe sin.

Actually if you think about it, Jesus committed suicide. He died for our sins, so he had prior knowledge of his demise. So in actuality Jesus was a sinner who died for other sinners.

Neither. He's dead. He will be risen on the day of the great white throne judgment day with other non-believers to be judged by the only righteous judge, God the Father, with Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit as witnesses.

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?\nJesus? Christianity? .\n\nYour opinions only, no parroting or C&P from a Bible.\n\n\nIf Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.\nGods do not die? Do they?\n\nIf Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed? \n\nIf Jesus died for our sins, he should be dead,dead, dead!

I believe the 2nd story is correct. Not sure about the follower part, but yes, another man was subsituted. See, Jesus was pulled into the heavens and will return before the Day of Judgement, symbolizing that the Day of Judgement is near. So, yes, God did not kill Jesus.

Huh? Who is Jesus? Do you mean that jewish rabbi Jeshu that the greek christians renamed Jesus and claimed him as their God in the flesh? Didn't he already come back once? How many lives does that guy get any way? The last event would probably be "WORLD-WIDE PANIC"

You are absolutely right, Jesus did not die on a cross, the King James Bible says he died on a:\n\nActs 5:30  The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.\n\nActs 10:39  And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:\n\nActs 13:29  And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

I don't think so.  I don't pretend to know what would have happened had Judas repented and not betrayed Jesus.  But we all have 'free will'.  If Judas was merely programmed to betray Jesus, then his 'free will' would have been negated.  And I don't think Jesus' death on the cross would have been valid if someone had to lose their 'free will' to bring the crucifixion about.\n\nThis is all too confusing for me to reason out.  Jesus was God and knows the past, present and future.  He knew Judas would betray him.  Does that mean Judas did not posess free will?  But if Jesus knew the past, present and future, why did he pray to His Heavenly Father for "this cup to pass from me, but not my will, but thine be done."  He knew the cup couldn't pass.\n\nI'm not smart enough to figure this stuff out.  A friend of mine asked me once if God could do anything.  I said with a very smug look on my face, "Of course he can!"  That's when my friend said "No he can't.  He can't make a rock so big that he couldn't lift it!"\n\nOK, my smug look disappeared in a flash.  My friend is right, God can't make a rock so big that he couldn't lift it.  So God can't do everything.  See why I don't rely on my brain, but rather my FAITH in the Lord?

Jesus Christ. Because He died for my sins and I want to ask Him about that day on the cross and His life here on earth.\n\nI would then thank Him for doing that.

I'd vote for Jesus.  In fact, Jesus was the coolest guy who ever lived.
