"Simply find one mistake within the book (Qur'an). Simply find one mistake within the book. "
ERROR NUMBER TWO:
II. The Qur'an teaches that Jesus was not crucified.
Sura IV:157
That they said in boast,
"We killed Christ Jesus
The son of Mary,
The Apostle of God";
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 kiled him not:
-------------------------------------
Mohammad claims that Jesus was never Crucified nor did He die.
The historicity of the Crucifixion is well documented in the Gospels as well as in several secular sources. Mohammad came up with his historical revisionism about the Crucifixion of Christ 600 years after the historical event had occurred. Mohammad offers no historical and factual documentation to back his claim that Jesus was never Crucified. The burden of proof is always on the historical revisionist and not on an established historical fact. From a stictly rational and historical point of view, Mohammad's "new theory" about the Crucifixion is clearly shown to be false since he cannot supply any supporting evidence except faith in his words. Before Mohammad, there is no historical document claiming that Jesus had not been Crucified. The Jews who wrote the Babylonian Talmud were the most vicious enemies of Jesus and Christians, but they still confirmed the Crucifixion while rejecting the Resurrection. So, Mohammad simply had no history or written facts to confirm his historical revision of the Crucifixion.
Therefore, on a historical and rational plain, the burden of proof is upon Islam's shoulder.
Neverthless, I will provide you with an important secular historical document that substantiates the fact of the Crucifixion and proves that Mahammad was teaching lies.
The document is called ACTA PILATI and can be found in The Archko Volume or The Archeological Writings of the Sanhedrin and Talmuds of the Jews by Drs. Mcintosh and Twyman. I believe the volume is now available through Amazon.
Pontius Pilate sent his report about the Crucifixion to Tiberius Caesar, Emperor of Rome.
In this report, Pilate confirms the Gospel account of the Crucifixion of Jesus.
----------------------
No secualr historical documents are needed to discredit Mohammad because Mohammad has already discredited himself by opposing the Holy Spirit inspired accounts in the Gospels and Epistles in the New Testament. The authenticity of the Gospels, the Epistles and the Hebrew Scripture have withstood the historical and archaelogical research of the last two thousand years.
The most convincing proof of the truth and authenticity of the New Testament does not rest on archaelogical or historical research but rather on the dynamic experience of meeting and knowing God the Father through our faith in Jesus. The truth of the Gospels brings the Christian into a personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus the Son as well as an infilling of the Holy Spirit.
The Resurrected and Divine Jesus is alive and sitting at the right hand of God performing all His Words in the New and Old Testament.
May Christ remove the veil of darkness over your heart according to the desire of truth in your heart.
