Was Jesus really put on the cross according to the Bible?

By

Shais


Let us begin by asking a simple question. Does God forsake his beloved ones? What does the common sense say?


The common sense says “NO”. You don’t have to be a Muslim or a Christian to reply to that, simple question Simple answer. What about the Bible? Lets see what has it got to say


For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off; (Psalms 37:28)


The answer is “No” according to the Bible. God doesn’t forsake his beloved ones.

What about the Quran? The Quran says

“but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good.” (Quran 2:195)

“And Allah is full of kindness to those that serve Him." (Quran 3:30)


So the answer once again is “NO” God doesn’t forsake his beloved ones. He loves those who are faithful to him and those who do good.


Summary:

Q. Does God forsake his beloved Ones

Common sense reply : NO !

Q. Does God forsake his beloved ones

Biblical reply : NO!

Q. Does God forsake his beloved ones

Quranic reply : NO !


When Jesus Christ (pbuh) was put on the cross according to the Bible he cried out

“About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mathew 27:46)

“And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34)


Now the question arises how can Jesus Christ (pbuh) be forsaken by God? Isn’t Jesus beloved to Almighty God? Of course he is. Muslims and Christians both agree to that. How can Jesus Christ (pbuh) who is among the most faithful human beings to Almighty God ever claim that God has forsaken him. Aren’t these words blasphemous? Of course they are. Now you are left with the following options to choose from.


1. Jesus wasn’t beloved to God

2. Jesus blasphemed when he said that God has forsaken him

3. The person put on the cross was NOT Jesus but someone else

(Gospel of Barnabas tells us that it was Judas Iscariot and these blasphemous words are attributed to him. Christians don’t believe in the Gospel of Barnabas and neither am I using this point to support what I say, but I am just giving mentioning the possibility of who can be the person who was put on the cross, it wasn’t Jesus of course who can utter such blasphemous words and claim that God has forsaken him)


We cannot believe that Jesus Christ (pbuh) being such a mighty messenger of Almighty God lie. Neither can we say that God forsakes his beloved ones because it contradicts common sense, it contradicts the bible and it also contradicts the Quran.


As a Muslim, I can never agree with the first 2 options. So I opt for the 3rd one. As the Holy Quran says


“That they said (in boast), "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:-“ (Quran 4:157)


So I leave upto the reader to select among the 3 options I put forth. I as a Muslim select the third.
