I think it is possible he fell in such way that he hit the ground head first. For example it could be that he hanged himself on a hill, next to some kind of cliff, rope was cut and he rolled down the cliff. Other possibility is that headlong means in this case rashly.
Interesting, I don't think that fits to Judas Iscariot in anyway, sorry.
All you have shown is your opinion, nothing substantial.
If that was the case, then why both both authors leave out these pertinent details?
The point is that there's no reason to invent explanations for contradictions when the prophetic texts tell a different story to the accepted Christian narrative. The simplest explanation is the Islamic account is correct - Yeshua (Jesus) was not crucified but it appeared that he was.
The Christian Bible is the most studied book over the last thousand years. In regards authority and inerrancy, it depends on whether one believes in the Bibles central claims. One who believes in Jesus will have very different views from one who doesn't.
No,no, no. That is not true and you know it. It is based upon scientific evidence and you know it. And didn't you lose the debate about the date of Jesus birth and run away?
Denial uber alles
I believe Christianity is not an error.
Jesus died. The truth is that He appeared to die and the body died as John tells us. The reason the other witnesses were wrong is due to the fact that they were not as spiritually discerning as John.
I believe however that there is a central Christianity that is true.
The present most commonly version of the NT was canonized in 367 A.D. by Athanasius, the bishop of Alexandria, and who was a major player in the Nicene Council, convened in 325 A.D. by the Roman emperor Constantine, who was the "beast with two horns like a lamb" who adopted the role of Pontifex Maximus of Julius Caesar, which was the later position of the "Christian" pope. They all received their "authority" from the "dragon"/"devil" per Revelation 13:4. The "dragon" was Constantine's god, Sol Invictus, for whom Constantine glorified on the back of his minted coins. The "Christians" glorify Sol Invictus by keeping his day, the day of the sun, Sunday, as being holy as decreed in 321 A.D by Constantine. As for see Acts 15:7, see below. Peter was "cast into a foreign country" (Rome) per Isaiah 22:18, because he "shamed your master's house". Zech 13:7 points to when Peter denied "Christ", so that the "sheep might be scattered", as mentioned in Mt 26:31-34). Yeshua is not a liar, and he said that if anyone denies me, I will deny them before God in heaven, even though Peter, like Judas Iscariot, were fulfilling Scripture. The foundation of your "house" is lawlessness, based on the "message" (Mt 13:25) of the false prophet Paul, and that "house"/church will fall (Mt 7:22-27), at the "end of the age" (Mt 13:30), when the "good" wheat is ready for harvest.
The leading "shepherds" (Ezekiel 34) are those who eat the fat of the sheep, and do not feed the sheep, nor heal the sheep, nor keep them from being scattered. Peter, who was made "steward, in charge of the royal household" (Isaiah 22:15 & Mt 16:18), has an heir per Isaiah 22:15-25, and that heir is the pope, who takes from the fat of the sheep, and does not feed the sheep the bread of life, heal the sheep, nor does he keep them from being scattered. These fat shepherds will be the first to be "destroyed" when I "bring back the scattered" (Ez 34:16 & Ez 37"24 & Is 22:25), "in that day", when I bring back Israel to the land given to Jacob/Israel (Ez 36:28). According to Isaiah 14:1-2, the "strangers" (Gentiles), those other than Jacob, will be given a choice to be servants/slaves to Jacob/Israel. Yeshua pointed out Peter being among the "fat shepherds", when he told Peter to feed, care and shepherd my sheep in John 21:15-16. Peter was set up to fulfill Zech 11:16. Yeshua came to fulfill prophecy (Mt 5:17).
"Central Christianity" is true to the "message" of the "enemy"/"devil" with respect to the tare seed the enemy sowed (Mt 13:25).
There is no contradiction in the context. Only the truth and its understanding is in the context. Anyone can hear it. It’s easy to understand with the heart and be of it. Yours/others understanding that it has contradiction or whatever else thought up and applied to it doesn’t effect it at all.
My statement here: The two false witnesses say that Jesus said-I am able to destroy the temple of God.
My statement here, my next statement: Jesus said to those at this temple-destroy this temple. And my last statement in the context: The two false witnesses said wrong what He said. Mark14:59, “But not even then did their testimony agree. “ ln my first and second statements I put a hyphen between what the false witnesses said and what Jesus said to show the difference each said. The false witnesses testimony He said, I am able to destroy the temple of God it is false testimony. He didn’t say that. Jesus’ testimony is true He said to them there, destroy this temple. Thus, He told them there to destroy this temple can only mean themselves that is not telling them what the false witnesses said He told them He will destroy it.
Well, you didn’t get the first part. Do you now? The three days is also in context with these false witnesses bore witness against Him that their testimony doesn’t agree, Mark 14:57-59. Jesus didn’t say as they said, He will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days He will build another (building like this temple) made without hands. He spoke of in three days raising His body up as this temple His testimony is true and became true. His disciples remembered He had said this and believed the Scripture and His word became true, John 2:21-22.
I said here, The two false witnesses said wrong what He said, Mark 14:59, “But not even then did their testimony agree.” I’m showing the Scripture and Jesus’ word are relevant in this discussion. That the false witnesses testimony didn’t agree it is certain the gospel of John didn’t favor them.
The “l” in Psalm 35:11 is David. “They” are in context during David’s time on earth. Read the chapter.
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Again, David is mentioned:
According to that reasoning David was also a fat shepherd (Ezekiel 34:23), which is absurd because David is endorsed by Isaiah:

2Timothy 1:1-2, “Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, a beloved son:” Thus, the Apostle Paul wrote 2Timothy to his son Timothy. That is the true understanding. It is easy to see he continues writing to him, “To Timothy” 2:1a, “You therefore my son,” 3:1a, But know this,” 4:1a, “I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Paul wasn’t arrogant. He and his son had already been given God’s inspiration to know the Holy Scriptures-All Scripture as he told him you must continue in the things you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them. So, All Scripture made him wise for salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ to go preach the word to the living and the dead. To be ready that Jesus will judge them at His appearing and His Kingdom.
Incorrect. With thousands of gods out there the correct assumption is that they are all fake until they meet their burden of proof. And no, just because the epistle starts that way that does not mean that Paul wrote it. When I see this sort of ignorance it is rather obvious that you have never studied the Bible. Studying the Bible goes far beyond merely reading it. Most biblical scholars do not think that it was written by Paul:
