Bismillah:
Quote:Well...in the NT there is no contradiction about who was crucified...it was Christ. The Quran was the first major document to say that Jesus wasn't crucified and that "somebody else" was crucified. How many people actually witnessed the crucifiction? Hundreds? Thousands?
Assalamo Alikum everyone.
Curious... i wonder if you have red Chapter 5 in the book of Hebrews!!!! please pay attention to Hebrews 5:7:
Hebrews 5
1 Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,
"You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
6 And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
<b>7 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. </b>
8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered
9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
so if any other verse from the same Bible saying that Jesus died on the cross will contradict Hebrews 5:7, so far we agree with Hebrews 5:7 that God saved Jesus pbuh from death. Alhamdulelah. of course you can check the above verses from your own Bible. these verses were taken from the New International Version of the Bible (NIV).

Wael.
