Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:OK brother im inclined to agree with you. However for clarification sake how would you answer those who interpret the phrase "they did not kill him" to mean "they (the jews) did not kill him"? Can you rebutt them using the Quran? or even hadith?
First of all the Qur'an never say that <b>the Jews did not kill Jesus pbuh</b>, the Qur'an clearly says that <b>THEY SAID </b>
THAT THEY HAVE KILLED HIM, but Allah plainly told us that he was not killed, nor crucified, so the question whether the Jews or the Romans have killed Jesus pbuh should not arise, simply because he was not killed in the first place.
That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;
<b>And because of their saying (WA QAWLEHEM)</b>
: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! Those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain. Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.] (4:156-158)
Quote:Personally I have gone through most of the verses of Quran on this issue and have come the conclusion that Jesus wasnt killed. However the argument is fairly detailed and not as simple as it seems.
Well, I found this subject to be as easier as the concept of one God in Islam, <b>no confusion at all</b>, we are just making ourselves so busy with unnecessary matters.
Quote:"If Christ be not risen from the dead, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain."
(1 Corinthians 15:14)
I personally couldnt care less what Paul said he means nothing to me. I dont see how a Prophet being martyred could be in vain unless everyone believes he redeemed us all. Again I maintain that even though I myself dont believe Jesus was killed I wouldnt call a muslim who believes in it a non-muslim.
I would call him a Muslim<b> who rejected a very basic part of Islam</b>, and I don't know how shall we address such "<i>a muslim</i>"
