Bible Question: What does Islam teach about the crucifixion of Jesus? --Hank |
Bible Answer: Hank, Muslims are taught in their Quran Surah 4:157, "And for their saying we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, Son of Mary, the messenger of God: they killed him not nor did they crucify him but they thought they did." Muhammad believed it was inconceivable to him that a prophet of God could undergo such a death as crucifixion. Most Muslim scholars teach that it was not Christ on that cross, it was someone who looked at lot like him. They acknowledge that Chrsit died, he is in heaven, and is expected to return shortly before the judgement. Actually, they believe Jesus to be the "word of God" according to their verse Surah 4:171. They are sooooooo close to truth, but also soooooooo far away too. Taleb. |
