60 Questions for the Christian
By Hussein Khalid Al-Hussein
According to most Christians, Jesus was God-incarnate, full man
and full God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Can the finite and the infinite be one? "To be
full" God means freedom from finite forms and from helplessness,
and to be "full man" means the absence of divinity.
1.To
be son is to be less than divine and to be divine is to be no
one's son. How could Jesus have the attributes of sonship and
divinity altogether?
2.Christians
assert that Jesus claimed to be God when they quote him in John
14:9: "He that has seen me has seen the Father". Didn't Jesus
clearly say that people have never seen God, as it says in John
5:37: "And the father himself which Has sent me, has borne
witness of me. You have NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME
NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE"?
3.Christians
say that Jesus was God because he was called Son of God, Son of
Man, Messiah, and "savior". Ezekiel was addressed in the Bible
as Son of Man. Jesus spoke of "the peace makers" as Sons of God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
Any person who followed the Will and Plan of God was called SON
OF GOD in the Jewish tradition and in their language (Genesis
6:2,4; Exodus 4:22; Psalm 2:7; Romans 8:14). "Messiah" which in
Hebrew means "God's anointed" and not "Christ", and "Cyrus" the
person is called "Messiah" or "the anointed". As for "savior",
in II KINGS 13:5, other individuals were given that title too
without being gods. So where is the proof in these terms that
Jesus was God when the word son is not exclusively used for him
alone?
4.Christians
claim that Jesus acknowledged that he and God were one in the
sense of nature when he says in John 10:30 "I and my father
are one". Later on in John 17:21-23, Jesus refers to his
followers and himself and God as one in five places. So why did
they give the previous "one" a different meaning from the other
five "ones?
5.Is
God three-in-one and one in three simultaneously or one at a
time?
6.If
God is one and three simultaneously, then none of the three
could be the complete God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Granting that such was the case, then
when Jesus was on earth, he wasn't a complete God, nor was the
"father in Heaven" a whole God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Doesn't that contradict what
Jesus always said about His God and our God in heaven, his Lord
and our Lord ? Does that also mean that there was no complete
god then, between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed
resurrection?
7.If
God is one and three at a time, then who was the God in heaven
when Jesus was on earth? Wouldn't this contradict his many
references to a God in Heaven that sent him?
8.If
God is three and one at the same time, who was the God in Heaven
within three days between the claimed crucifixion and the
claimed resurrect ion?
9.Christians
say that: "The Father(F) is God, the Son(S) is God, and the Holy
Ghost(H) is God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not
the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father". In simple
arithmetic and terms therefore, if F = G, S = G, and H = G, then
it follows that F = S = H, while the second part of the
statement suggests that F ¹ S ¹ H (meaning, "not equal"). Isn't
that a contradiction to the Christian dogma of Trinity in itself
?
10.If
Jesus was God, why did he tell the man who called him "good
master" not to call him "good" because accordingly, there is
none good but his God in Heaven alone?
11.Why
do Christians say that God is three-in-one and one in three when
Jesus says in Mark 12:29: "The Lord our God is one Lord" in as
many places as yet in the Bible?
12.If
belief in the Trinity was such a necessary condition for being a
Christian, why didn't Jesus teach and emphasize it to the
Christians during his time? How were those followers of Jesus
considered Christians without ever hearing the term Trinity? Had
the Trinity been the spinal cord of Christianity, Jesus would
have emphasized it on many occasions and would have taught and
explained it in detail to the people.
13.Christians
claim that Jesus was God as they quote in John 1:1 "In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God". This is John speaking and not Jesus (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Also, the Greek
word for the first occurrence of God is HOTHEOS which means "the
God" or "God" with a capital "G", while the Greek word for its
second occurrence is "TONTHEOS", which means "a god " or "god"
with a small "g". Isn't this dishonesty and inconsistency on the
part of those translating the Greek Bible? ? Isn't such
quotation in John 1:1 recognized by every Christian scholar of
the Bible to have been written by a Jew named Philo Alexandria
way before Jesus and John?
14.Wasn't
the word "god" or "TONTHEOS" also used to refer to others as
well as in II Corinthians 4:4 "(and the Devil is) the god of
this world" and in Exodus 7:1 "See , I have made thee (Moses ) a
god to Pharaoh"?
SALVATION:
Christians say that "GOD LOST His only son to save us". To whom
did God lose Jesus if he owns the whole universe?
15.
If it was agreeable with God's Majesty to have sons, He could
have created a million sons the like of Jesus (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). So what is the
big clear deal about this only son?
16.Why
does the Bible say that Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when
the one on the cross was shouting "My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?" according to Matthew 27:45 and Mark 15:33?
17.
If God had wanted to save us, couldn't He have done that without
sacrificing Jesus?
18.
God is Just, and justice requires that nobody should be punished
for the sins of others, nor should some people be saved by
punishing other people. Doesn't the claim that God sacrificed
Jesus to save us because He was Just, contradict the definition
of justice?
19.
People sacrifice things they have to get something they don't
have when they can't have both. Christians say that "God
SACRIFICED His only son to save us". We know that God is
Almighty; to whom did He sacrifice Jesus?
20.
A real sacrifice is when you can't get back what you have
offered , so what would be the big deal about such a sacrifice
if God could recover the same offering? (according to the
Christians' terminology)?
21.
If all the Christians are saved through Jesus and are going to
Heaven no matter what they do, then the teachings of Jesus are
irrelevant and the definition of good and bad are also rendered
irrelevant. If this is not so, then do Christians who believe in
Jesus yet do not follow his teachings nor repent go to Hell?
22.
How can Christians take deeds as irrelevant after becoming one
when Jesus says in Matthew 12:36; "But I say unto you that every
idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof
in the Day of Judgment. For by the words thou shalt be
justified, and by the words thou shalt be condemned"?
23.
Christians say that people go to Heaven ONLY THROUGH JESUS, yet
Paul says in 1 CORINTHIANS 7:8-16 that the unbelieving husband
is acceptable to God because he is united with his wife and vice
versa, and their pagan children are also acceptable to God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). So
people can go to heaven without believing in Jesus according to
this.
24.
How come the Bible says that ALL Israel is saved although they
don't believe in Jesus? Doesn't that contradict the claim in the
Bible that the only way to heaven is through Jesus?
25.
According to Christians, those who have not been baptized will
go to Hell. So even the infants and babies go to Hell if not
baptized, since they are born with an inherited original sin.
Doesn't this contradict the definition of justice? Why would God
punish people for sins they never committed?
HOLY SPIRIT:
The only place in the Bible where the Paraclete was called the
Holy Spirit is in John 14:26 "But the Paraclete, the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you
all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to
you". What has the Holy Spirit brought or taught for the last
2000 years?
26.Christians
say that the Paraclete means the Holy Spirit (John 14;26). Jesus
said in John 16:7-8 "If I do not go away the Paraclete will not
come to you". This could not mean the Holy spirit, since the
Holy spirit was said to have been there before Jesus was even
born as in Luke 1:41 "Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Spirit". Here, the Holy spirit was also present during Jesus
life time (see also Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus). So how could this fit with the condition that Jesus
must go away so that the Holy spirit will come?
27.In
John 16:7-8, it says: "But if go, I will send him to you. And
when he comes, he will convict the world of sins and of
righteousness and of Judgment". What do "he" and "him" refer
here? Don't they refer to a man?
28.Does
the Holy Spirit talk to good Christians and bad Christians as
well? Is the Holy spirit with them all the time or just at
certain times? When does it start visiting a person who wants to
become a Christian?
29.How
can you as a Christian tell if the Holy Spirit is inside another
Christian? How come many Christians fooled people by claiming
that the Holy spirit was inside them only to be converted to
another religion later on ?
30.Does
the Holy Spirit dictate what Christians should do without choice
or freedom at all or does it only guide them and they have the
freedom to follow or not ?
31.If
the Holy Spirit dictates what Christian should do, why do
Christians commit sins and make mistakes ? How can you explain
the conversion to other religions and atheism of many
Christians? Are they told to do that by the Holy Spirit?
32.If
the Holy Spirit guides Christians only, and they are free to do
what they want, then how do we know that the writers of the
Gospels didn't make mistakes in writing them?
33.If
Christians believe that the Holy Spirit comes and talks to them
everyday, why don't they ask the Holy Spirit about which version
of the Bible to follow since there are too many versions
floating around?
MISSION OF JESUS:
Without borrowing from other religions and systems, can
Christianity provide people with a complete way of life? Since
Christianity is limited to spiritual life and does not provide
law, how can a society decide which laws are right or wrong?
34.Why
do the Christians say that Jesus came with a universal mission
when he said that he was sent to the Jews only? He said to the
Canaanite woman who asked him to heal her daughter from
demon-possession: "I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel"
and also said: "It is not right to take the children's bread and
toss it to their dogs", Matthew 15:21-28.
RESSURECTION:
If you read Matthew (28:1-10), Mark (16:1-20), Luke (24:1-12),
and John (20: 1-18), you will find contradicting stories. They
all agreed that the tomb was guarded for three days. However,
they reported the discovery of the empty tomb differently.
·
Matthew (28) and John (20) reported that Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary were the first to discover the tomb.
·
Mark (16) reports that Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James,
and Salome were the first to discover the empty tomb.
·
Mark (28) reports that there was an earthquake that removed the
rock from over the tomb. He says that an angel caused it. The
other gospels do not mention of an earthquake.
·
Matthew and Mark say that only ONE man in white clothes was
sitting on the tomb when the woman arrived, and that he was an
angel.
·
Luke says that TWO men in white clothes, who were angels, were
sitting. Johns says that the two women did not meet anybody the
first time they came to the tomb, but when they returned, they
saw TWO people, ONE was an ANGEL, and the other was JESUS.
·
Matthew reports that when the guards reported this to the chief
priest, the chief priest paid them a large sum of money, telling
them: "You have to say that his disciples came at night and
stole his body." He claims that the soldiers took money and
spread the story around and since then, the story had been
circulating among the Jews until today (according to Matthew).
The other gospels do not report of any such thing.
35.
Which narration now is more authentic?
36.Why
is the appearance of Jesus after the crucifixion taken as a
proof of his resurrection when there is an explanation that he
was not dead because someone else was crucified in his place
when God saved Him?
37.How
did Matthew know of the claimed agreement between the soldiers
and the chief priest? Can't someone say that someone paid the
women a large sum of money and told them to spread the word
around that Jesus rose from the dead, with the same authenticity
as that of the story of Matthew?
38.Why
did they believe that man in the white clothes? Why did they
believe he was an angel? John's narration is too strange, since
he says that Mary did not recognize Jesus (one of the two) while
talking to him, and she only recognized him when he called her
by her name.
39.How
does an empty tomb prove that Jesus was crucified ? Isn't it
that God is capable of removing another man from the tomb, and
of resurrecting him too?
40.The
Gospels are believed to be the verbatim words of God, they are
supposed to be dictated by the Holy Spirit to the Disciples who
wrote them. If the source were the same, why shouldn't they
correspond with each other in reporting such an important event?
41.How
could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be considered eyewitnesses of
resurrection when the Bible implies that nobody at all saw Jesus
coming out of the tomb?
Bibles:
If the Christians consider the Old Testament as God's Word, why
did they cancel the parts of the Old Testament that dealt with
punishment (example: the punishment for adultery)?
42.Why
doesn't Mark 16:9-20 exist in as many versions of the Bible
while it exists as a footnote or between brackets in some other
versions? Is a footnote in the Bible still considered as God's
word, especially when it addresses an important feature like the
Ascension?
43.Why
does the Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant
Bible has only 66? With both claiming to have the complete Word
of God, which one should be believed and why?
44.Where
do those new translations of the Bible keep coming from when the
original Bible is not even available ? The Greek manuscripts
which are translations themselves are not even similar with each
other.
45.How
can you take two gospels from writers who never met Jesus, like
Mark and Luke?
46.Why
is half of the New Testament written by a man who never even met
Jesus in his lifetime? PAUL claimed with no proof that he had
met Jesus while on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. PAUL was
the main enemy of Christianity (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Isn't that reason enough to
question the authenticity of what he wrote? Why do the
Christians call those books of the Old Testament "God's Word"
when the revisors of the RSV Bible say that some of the authors
are UNKNOWN? They say that the author of SAMUEL is "UNKNOWN" and
that of CHRONICLES is "UNKOWN, PROBABLY COLLECTED AND EDITED BY
EZRA"!
CONTRADICTIONS:
47.Concerning
the controversial issues in the Bible, how can Christians decide
by two-thirds majority what is God's Word and what is not, as
the prefaces of some Bibles say like that one of the RSV ?
48.Why
does Luke in his gospel report the Ascension on Easter Day, and
in the Acts, in which he is recognized as the author, FORTY days
later?
49.The
genealogy of Jesus is mentioned in Matthew and Luke only.
Matthew listed 26 forefathers from Joseph to David while Luke
enumerated 41 forefathers. Only Joseph matches with Joseph in
those two lists. Not a single other name matches! If these were
inspired by God word by word, how could they be different? Some
claim that one is for Mary and one is for Joseph, but where does
it says Mary in those two Gospels?
50.If
Moses wrote the first books of the Old Testament, how could
Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the fifth book at
age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.
51.In
the King James Version, why does it report SEVEN years of famine
in II SAMUEL 24:13 while it reports THREE years of famine in I
CHRONICLES 21:12? Why did they change both to THREE years in the
New International Version and other versions?
52.Still
In the same King James Version, why does it say that Jehoiachin
was eight years old when he began to reign in II CHRONICLES
21:12, while it says EIGHTEEN years in II KINGS 24:8? Why did
thessey change in both to EIGHTEEN in the new Versions?
53.In
all versions, why does it say that David slew the men of SEVEN
HUNDRED chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand HORSEMEN as
evidenced in II Samuel 10:18 while its says SEVEN THOUSAND men
which fought in chariots, and forty thousand FOOTMEN, in I
CHRONICLES 19:18?
54.In
all versions, why does it report TWO thousand baths in I KINGS
7:26 while II CHRONICLES 4:5 reports THREE THOUSAND?
55.In
the King James version, why does it report that Solomon had FOUR
THOUSAND stalls for horses in II CHRONICLES 9:25 while it
accounts that Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses in 1
KINGS 4:26? Why did they change both to FOUR THOUSAND in the new
versions?
56.In
GENESIS 1, God's creation progresses from grass to trees to
fowls, whales, cattle and creeping things and finally to man and
woman. GENESIS 2, however, puts the creation of man before
cattle and fowl and woman subsequent to beast. How can this be
explained?
QUR'AN AND CHRISTIANS
This section does not inquire or interrogate, but rather
provides the reader with some of the Qur'anic verses that
address the Christians in particular, and the people of the
scripture in general. A great portion of the Qur'an pertains to
or involves the Christians and the Jews and I decided to just
choose verses that are related to the topic of this manuscript.
·
"Lo! The likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of
Adam. He created him of dust, then said unto him: Be, and he
was." Al-Qur'an 3:59.
-
"Say: O
People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and
you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall
ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take
others for Lords besides Allah. And if they turn away, then
say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered
(unto him).
"O People of the Scripture! Why will you argue about Abraham,
when the Torah and the Gospel were revealed till after him? Have
you then no sense?
Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an
upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of
the idolaters.
Lo! Those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are
those who followed him, and his Prophet and those who believe
(with him); and Allah is the Protector of the believers (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
A party of the People of the Scripture longs to make you go
astray; and they make none to go astray except themselves, but
they perceive not.
O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve you in the revelations
of Allah, when you (yourselves) bear witness to their truth?
O People of the Scriptures! Why confound you truth with
falsehood and knowingly conceal the Truth? (Al-Qur'an 3: 64-71)
-
And
whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be
accepted of him and in the hereafter, He will be one of the
losers (Al-Qur'an 3:85).
-
And
because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus, son of
Mary, and 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:
But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise.
(Al-Qur'an 4:157-158).
-
O People
of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor
utter ought concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah
Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His
word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him, so
believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three"!
Cease! (it is ) better for you! Allah is only One God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Far
is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should
have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that
is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as defender.
The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah, nor will
the favored angels. Whosoever scorns His service and is proud,
all such will assemble unto Him.
Then, as for those who believed and did good works, unto them
will He give them their wages in full, adding unto them of His
bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, then He
will punish with a painful doom." (Al-Qur'an 4:171-173).
-
"And
with those who say Lo! We are Christians, We made a
covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were
admonished. Therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred
among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will
inform them of their handiwork.
O People of the Scripture! Now has our messenger come unto you,
expounding unto you much of that which you used to hide in the
Scripture, and forgiving much. Now has come unto light from
Allah and plain scripture:
Whereby Allah guides him who seeks His good pleasure unto paths
of peace, He brings them out of darkness unto light by His
decree, and guides them unto a Straight Path.
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the messiah,
son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah if he had
willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and
everyone on earth? Allah's is the sovereignty of the heavens and
the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he
wills. And Allah is able to do all things. (Al-Qur'an 5:14:17).
-
"They
surely disbelieve who say; Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of
Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O children if Israel,
worship Allah, my Lord and you Lord. Lo! Whosoever ascribes
partners unto Allah, for him Allah has forbidden Paradise.
His abode is the Fire. For evildoers ,there will be no
helpers.
They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of the
three; when there is no God save the One God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). If they desist not
from so saying, a painful doom will fall on those of them who
disbelieve.
Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of
Him? For Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
Say: Serve you in place of Allah that which possesses for you
neither hurt nor use? Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion
other than the Truth, and follow not the vain desire of folks
who erred of old and led many astray, and erred from a plain
road." (Al-Qur'an 5:72-77)
-
"And
when Allah says: O Jesus, son of Mary: Did you say unto
mankind: take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?,
he says: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to
which I had no right. If I used to say it, then You Knew it,
You know what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Your
mind. Lo! You, only You, are the knower of things hidden.
I spoke unto them only that which You commanded me (saying);
worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I witness of them while I
dwelt among them, and when You took me, You were the Watcher
over them. You are witness over all things.
If You punish them, Lo! They are Your slaves, and if you forgive
them (Lo! They are Your slaves). Lo! You, only you are the
Mighty, the Wise.
Allah says: This is a day in which their truthfulness profits
the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers
flow, wherein they are secure forever, Allah taking pleasure in
them and they in Him. That is the great triumph. (Al-Qur'an
5:116-119)
-
"And the
Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah', and the
Christians say: ‘The Messiah is the son of Allah'. That is
their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of
those who disbelieved of old. Allah fights against them. How
perverse they are!
They have taken as Lord besides Allah their rabbis and their
monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to
worship only One God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). There is no God save Him. Be He glorified
from all that they ascribe as partners (unto him)!
Faint would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths,
but Allah disdains (aught) save that He shall perfect His light,
however much the disbelievers are averse.
He it is Who has sent His messenger with guidance and the
Religion of Truth, to cause it to prevail over all religions,
however much the idolaters may be averse.
O you who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the
(Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and
debar (people) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and
silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give
tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom.
On the Day when it will (all) be heated in the fire of Hell, and
their foreheads and their flanks and their backs will be branded
therewith (and it will be said unto them): Here is that which
you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste of what you used to
hoard." (Al-Qur'an 9:30-35).
MUHAMMAD OR JESUS?
Christians claim that the prophecy in Deut. 18:18 refers to
Jesus and not Muhammad. The verse says: "I will raise them up a
prophet from among THEIR BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO THEE, and I
will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all
that I shall command him." The only reason they resort to such
interpretation is that both Moses and Jesus were prophets. Even
this one contradicts their claim that Jesus was God and not a
Prophet. Many prophets of the Jews had the similarity with
Moses. However, if we compare Muhammad to Moses, we will find
that:
Muhammad was an Arab, and the Arabs are from Ishmael, son of
Abraham, while Moses was a Jew, and the Jews are from Isaac, son
of Abraham. Hence, the term THEIR BRETHREN refers to the
children of the first son being brethren of the children of the
other. This couldn't apply to Jesus, since he was a Jew.
According to the Christians, Jesus went to Hell for three days
while Moses did not. Therefore, Jesus is not like Moses. (In
Islam, none of the three Prophets went to Hell)
Moses and Muhammad were born to fathers and mothers while Jesus
was born to a mother alone.
Moses and Muhammad got married and had children, while Jesus did
not marry at all.
Moses and Muhammad got problems and difficulties from their
people initially, but were accepted by them at the end., whereas
Jesus was rejected by his people at the start and is still
rejected by the Jews until today. "He (Jesus) came unto his own,
but his own received him not".( John 1:11)
Moses and Muhammad had power, besides being prophets. They both
performed some capital punishments, for example, while Jesus had
no power over his people. "My kingdom is not of this world",
Jesus said in John 18:36 .
Moses and Muhammad brought new laws while Jesus did not.
Moses was forced to emigrate in adulthood to Median while
Muhammad was forced to emigrate at that stage in his life too,
towards Madina . Whereas Jesus did not have such forced
emigration in his adulthood .
Moses and Muhammad both died of natural deaths after which they
were buried ,while the same could not be said of Jesus (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). He was
neither killed nor crucified at all, according to the Qur'an and
did not die a ‘natural' death as could be affirmed by Christians
who believe in Crucifixion.
