I agree, of course. Many muslims would stipulate "them" to mean the Prophets, not necessarily the books, since many of the books no longer existed at the time.
I understand their distinction, but I do not believe it is justified.
The Surah above does not even make a claim of finality for Muhammad.
That is not what I am saying. I believe that the Qu'ran and the Bible are in harmony when both are understood correctly. What I am saying is that the interpretation given to the Qu'ran by many Muslims is in contradiction to the Bible and therefore the interpretation is incorrect.
Here is what the Qu'ran says about the Bible: Sura 3:84 Say "We believe in Allah ... and in the books given to Moses, Jesus and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them"
The Qu'ran quotes a prophecy by the child Jesus that he would die and rise again to life: Sura 19:33 "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life again!"
Jesus is God in the flesh and told His disciples that it was for that purpose (to die) that he came into the world.
Jesus did not die, He left before the body died. A Roman soldier did not break his legs because the body was already dead but he put a sword through his heart just to make sure. SInce the Biblical record is not provided by a Roman soldier it is safe to believe that it was His disciples who witnessed these things.
Any such text that you might mention would not be the word of God because it contradicts the Bible. There is no book of Barnabus in the Bible.
I have never seen a verse in the Qu'ran that says that Jesus was saved from the cross.
IF Jesus died does anyone know where he was burried ???????????
I never saw this verse where he says that he came to die for your sins, but rather, i saw him asking his disciples to buy swords and defend themselves from those who wanted to harm him.
So that means you don't know, and you don't have any solid proof. Therfore, any claim you make about this issue is false bcause you didn't provide a solid proof about wha you claim to be true.
Even if it was in the bible itself? impressive.
Read post 216.
Jesus was saved from the cross. God took Him up from it--in the spiritual sense. The body left behind was just a body.
In that sense Jesus did not taste of death. but then neither ahs anyone else. For we are all taken up to God.
Judgment Day as such is symbolic, not physical. No one is going to clamber out of a grave, because the next life has nothing to do with bodies in the first place.

Jesus never commanded his disciples to buy any swords, dont make up stuff.
He was willing to die.
How then can we put the testimony of someone born 600 years later, who had never seen Jesus or anything that happened over eye witness testimonies? There is no authority in declaring factual history false- not one is able to: That Jesus, not Judas died on the cross for the sins of the World.
so where is your tafsir and hadith to support what you say about this verse. Again he is talking about rising on the Day of Resurrection.
So who was God praying to when he was on the cross. When God or Jesus said the father is greater then I who is he talking about. When Jesus was praying who was he praying to. Who is the one from his own statement in the bible that sent him and gave him the power.
so where is there books all we have is the canons which none of them but Mark was there and he was 10. Where is the Gospels of the companions of Jesus peace be upon him.
The book contradicts itself so of course it will contradict other books.
because the church, not God or Jesus removed it and called it apocrypha and did not consider someone who walked with him and whose own book says to recieve him when he comes as a testimony of him, not to mention it was in his language.
Your religious leaders change books, and scripture verses like hotels change sheets. Just as the protestants did to the catholics, and the JWs to them, and the Mormons etc. etc. the original king James version itself had books removed by someone other then King James.
Surah 4:157 And because of their saying, We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah, 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.
Now you have.

I have seen this verse and it says nothing about Jesus being saved from the cross. You have fantasized that it says this but it doesn't. This is another instance of a Muslim rearranging the Qu'ran to agree with their own ideas instead of accepting the word of God.
This is a problem with the Qu'ran. One event is listed right after another but no time separation is indicated. If one were to assume that the death and resurrection were that closely tied it would be in agreement with the Bible that the resurrection of Jesus occurred within the same time frame. The Ascension was not a rising from death since Jesus was alive when He ascended. Jesus does not have to arise on the day of resurrection because he is still alive from the time He ascended.
I don't know how you can be so misinformed. The canon of the Bible was well established by 666AD when the Qu'ran was taking shape.
You will have to document this because I have no information that Barnabus was ever a book in the Bible. In fact I don't remeber seeing this as part of the Apochrypha either.
That is a definite exaggeration. Christianity is not as firmly tied to the scripture as other religions because we have God at our disposal as the Paraclete. This way we don't get caught up in misinterpretations as the Muslims and Jews do because our faith is in the living God not in ourselves. Muslims have developed this myth about the Bible being changed so that they can ignore the word of God. And Muslims don't have the Paraclete to correct their thinking in this regard. Of course you are still without excuse because you can have the faith of Abraham and hear God directly as Abraham did.

This is crap and I can't believe you went there. ANY and EVERY group can and has misinterperted the scripture in the name of God. Go back to the history books and examine the christian history. Some, not all, of them have been the biggest liars and murderers who have ever lived.

It's no denying that the bible was translated using different manuscripts but as we can see there are differences in these manuscripts.
Quran 4:157 (Arberry Translation)
and for their saying, 'We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God' -- yet they did not slay him, neither crucified him, only a likeness of that was shown to them. Those who are at variance concerning him surely are in doubt regarding him; they have no knowledge of him, except the following of surmise; and they slew him not of a certainty -- no indeed;
The thinking is when looking at this verse is where it says "neither crucified"....This would certainly mean he wasn't put up on the cross to begin with. So in essence you are incorrect...that verse DOES say he was saved from the cross.
If you truely understood the Quran you wouldn't have made this statement. It is said that the Quran was given to Muhammed by the Angel Gabriel. The content of the Quran confirms the scriptures before it. It does not have to go into detail because the scriptures before it is what is supposed to be read as well. So one could read the Torah as well as the Quran.
There's no question that there are some scriptures that have not made it to the collection of the scriptures known as the bible (collection of writings). The book of Barnabas' authenticity would have to be confirmed just like what was done with the Dead Sea Scrolls etc....
Now that is definately true.

You should learn how to read your text. SInce a likeness of Jesus being crucified is shown to them then you can not say that the text is saying that nothing like a crucifixion is happening to Jesus. Most translations have this as "it appeared to them." Likeness can have a connotation of swapping out but appearance does not.
Agreed. The Bible is a more informative text on the crucifixion.
Here is what Google found on the Book of Barnabus:
The Gospel of Barnabas is a medieval document claiming to be an account of the life of Jesus. It displays a distinctly Muslim bias, and purports to show that Jesus was not the Son of God, nor the Messiah. The document is generally regarded by most scholars as a forgery.
A Gospel of Barnabas is first mentioned on a list of heretical books dating from the fifth century. No further information is given, and no manuscript survives from that date. The next mention of the Gospel occurs in the fifteenth century. An Italian and Spanish version were located in that time period.
The Gospel of Barnabas displays a number of internal problems and external anachronisms that firmly fix its origin in the fourteenth century, somewhere in Western Europe. These problems can be divided into several categories.
The Gospel of Barnabas makes a number of historical and geographical blunders. The Gospel asserts that Jesus was born while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Secular history tells us that Pilate did not become governor until 26 or 27 AD. The Gospel describes Nazareth as a coastal city, when in fact it is located in the hill country, some distance from the Sea of Galilee. Palestine is described as a beautiful, lush country during the Summer. In fact, Palestine has a Winter rainfall, and much of the countryside is barren desert.
I don't doubt this but I was speaking idealistically. Ideally every Muslim could hear from God but realistically it probably doesn't happen very often. It has appeared to me that culturally Muslims refrain from hearing from God but maybe that is just a misunderstanding on my part.
Of course. I would like to see the translations to see which made it into my NASB version. When there are differences a decision has to be made about authenticity and one or the other selected. "Begotten is an unfortuante word since Jesus was only half begotten but I suppose we don't have a word for what actually happened.

"When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything?" And they said, "Nothing" Then said he unto them, "But now, he that hath no purse, let him take it, and likewise his bag; and he that hath no SWORD, let him sell his garment and buy one!" (HOLY BIBLE) Luke 22:35-36

All the verses you quoted didn't show Jesus saying that he is willing to die. Don't show the verses where the later authors say Jesus had to die for us. Just back up your claim that Jesus was personally willing to die.
Thank you.
For the simple fact that he was a prophet of God but not his own knowledge. You will say that you don't believe he was a prophet and it's your right, but you can't prove for me that he was crucified in that way because the Quran says "it was made to appear to them" and that means, even if the eye witness was there, so they will see nothing but Jesus overthere.
Also, till now, no body could prove to me that Jesus was died for the sins of the world, for the simple fact that he didn't claim such a thing.
"JOhn 3:16- It is Jesus speaking.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever belvies in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
No, it is GOD speaking. That's the main source of quibble here, that you blithely interchange the speaker without reasonable justification.
"That al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat, were now the daughters of Allah. What's strange is that al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat, were daughters of Mohammed's tribe's main god, al-lah, a moon god. Mohammed later on in the Quran seeks forgiveness for giving this false revelation."
from Wikipedia:
Early versions of the Qur'an allegedly contained verses that were later expunged, known as Satanic Verses.
Have you thought of al-Lat and al-'Uzza and Manat the third, the other Shaitan allegedly tempted him to add the following line:
These are the exalted Gharaniq, whose intercession is approved. The incident of the insertion of theses verses was not however mentioned by any of Muhammad's companions and is most likely to be a later fabrication according to the vast majority of earlier (eg. Ibn Kathir and Qadi Iyad) and later Islamic scholars (eg. al-Albani).
So you are referring to verses that only really exist inthe minds of Islam bashers.
