Luke 24:6
6 He is not here; he has RISEN!
hmm...
As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,
According to the full accounts of the New Testament (
I am not declaring them to be Divine, Authentic or anything valid), Jesus was put on the cross, taken and laid in a tomb/cave for three days and rose again. The following points are important to keep in mind:
1- He was never placed in a coffin.
2- He was never buried underground.
3- He was hurt, laid in the tomb for a few days, and
received medical treatment by his mother and a couple of other women. See
Luke 24:1-8, Mark 15:40-47, Mark 16:1-8, John 19:38-42, John 20:1-29. He received medicine and massaging from Mary Magdalene and others during this time. He then "rose up from the dead" and left the tomb (cave).
a- Notice in
Luke 24:1, the women came to the tomb with medicine and found Jesus gone. If he was already dead, they would have no reason to bring this to dead Jesus. But Jesus was alive and was receiving medical treatment. The following translations speak about ointments and spices brought by the women:

the spices
ἀρώματα arōmata 759 a spice
of uncertain originThey say the word means "spice" while its origin is unknown. So the translation "spice" is only a guess. Medicine back then was also made from certain spices and plants. This is why some English translations used the word
"ointment". This is because Jesus wasn't dead in the tomb. He was rather hurt. Therefore, applying medicine to him would be the most logical thing.
b- Also, notice in
John 20:15, Mary Magdalene thought Jesus was a gardener, after he healed and rose back up.
c- And in
John 20:17, Jesus was still in pain, he told Mary Magdalene "touch me not!".
d- And in
John 20:19-29, Jesus showed his original body to the disciples, and they checked it. Jesus Christ never actually died. He has always been alive in the tomb receiving medical treatment. He was never buried underground, or in a coffin. He was laid on the floor, alive.
Dr. Zakir Naik provided many more verses during his 3-hour debate. The above points were taken from my shortened version video:

www.answering-christianity.com/was_jesus_crucified_debate_between_dr_zakir_naik_and_pastor_rukni.wmv4- He then rose again, and when Mary Magdalene tried to touch him, he told her from pain:
"Touch me not!". He was in a lot of hurt.
5- Jesus told his followers that they have small faith, and that the only Sign left for him to give them was that the
Sign of Jonah and the Whale. But Jonah never died in the belly of the Whale. He was there alive and prayed to Allah Almighty to rescue him from the Whale.
So Jesus
"had risen" doesn't mean what the polytheist trinitarian pagans claim. For ample details and verses on everything I said, please visit:
