Jesus’ Crucifixion and Resurrection



PRECIOUS%20lancing.JPG


86.5 So, the human looks upon that which was created the inner man. (The reason for the gathering of the souls: Jesus is viewed upon the Cross)

86.6 The inner man was created out of water pouring forth at once. (Jesus’ Crucifixion & death upon the Cross)

86.7 He emerges from amidst the Cross and the grave. Or…86.7 He emerges from between the backbone and the ribs. (Jesus’ Crucifixion & Resurrection)

86.8 Truly Him above, He returned Him to the present state of existence after death, truly possessing power. (Jesus’ Singular Resurrection)



The authors of the Koran confirm, in no uncertain terms, that Jesus Christ was crucified until death upon the cross and that He was singularly resurrected.

There is even mention of the piercing of Jesus’ side, in which water pours forth, – confirming that Jesus died upon the Cross – and that man is a new creation in Him.

In the Quran, it was said that Jesus was not killed, neither was he crucified, but it was "made to appear to them".

If you claimed Jesus was crucified till death (in the Quran), why was the crucifixion made only to appear to them?

why do you waste your time with him akhie?
just ignore him
this guy must be sick or something

Followers of Islam do indeed have consistent training....and they have all been told to refer to one, single, solitary verse...4.157...whenever the issue of Jesus' crucifixion comes up.

The entire Islamic theology teeters upon this one verse...and upon one single word in this verse, of which, we have already amply discussed this in other threads, brother.

Its just plain poor theology to rest an entire theology upon one verse, brother. Especially when Muslims cannot even agree upon this one verse.

Thankfully, as we can see, the Koran has numerous other locations which affirm Jesus' crucifixion till death upon the cross.

No longer does the follower of islam have to rely upon the old worn-out 4.157....

Islam only has one verse to work with, brother.

What word, or words, in that one verse, do you want to discuss?
Are you blind?

I already wrote above:

If you claimed that the Quran mentioned Jesus crucifixion, why did the Quran talk about the crucifixion was "made to appear to them"?

What is the interpretation of the words "made to appear to them"?

Why would the Quran state Jesus was crucified but yet say the crucifion was made to appear to them?

It does not add up.

You lost!


4.157 is the one, single, solitary ayah to which you refer brother...yes?

Brother JJ already confirmed that this is the only Koranic ayah which Islam uses as evidence for Jesus' crucifixion.

Thanks for acknowledging that Islam can only promote one single solitary ayah in reference to Jesus’ crucifixion.

This is just plain poor theology, brother.

Here is your one Koranic ayah.

Since it is your position that the whole event was “made to appear to them”….then it is up to you to show us the Arabic words that state this…




وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول


الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن

86.5 So, the human looks upon that which was created the inner man. (The reason for the gathering of the souls: Jesus is viewed upon the Cross)

86.6 The inner man was created out of water pouring forth at once. (Jesus’ Crucifixion & death upon the Cross)

86.7 He emerges from amidst the Cross and the grave. Or…86.7 He emerges from between the backbone and the ribs. (Jesus’ Crucifixion & Resurrection)

86.8 Truly Him above, He returned Him to the present state of existence after death, truly possessing power. (Jesus’ Singular Resurrection)

First of all the picture you posted is very offensive you don't even respect the one you claim he's a God and you post pictures of him naked like a Roman God or something


furthermore, all your claims are FALSE.

68:5 doesn't say what you posted, another lie

this is the actual verse:

So let ALinsan(man, human being) see of what he was created:



68:6
this is the second lie in this thread the verse doesn't say that

this is the actual verse:

He(the human being) was created from a gushing fluid

the gushing fluid is what you call today sperms.



68:7
this is the third lie in this thread, there is no cross mentioned and all your translation is nothing but a lie

this is the actual verse:

Coming from between the back and the ribs.

the sperms are coming between these 2

68:8 the last lie

the actual verse is:

Most surely He is able to return him (to life).

He(Allah) who created man from sperm can return him back to life.

What is the problem with that?

A single ayat is enough for Muslims.

Here is your one Koranic ayah.

I dont even need the Arabic text.

I just want you to explain to the readers here:

If you claimed the Quran confirms the crucifixion, why the need for 'it was made to appear to the'?

Are you trying to avoid answering my question again?

We have the utmost respect for our Lord & Savior, brother.

You should too.




furthermore, all your claims are FALSE.

We can prove all of our points, brother.

History dictates, however, that you cannot, as your Koranic Arabic is very weak.







68:5 doesn't say what you posted, another lie

this is the actual verse:

So let ALinsan(man, human being) see of what he was created:

You meant to say 86.5, brother.

Observe the true meaning of the ayah, and where it was copied from...




Summary of 86.5:


  • In the Gospel of John, as Jesus prepares for His eminent crucifixion, He speaks regarding His Glorification upon the Cross (John 17.1 – 3)Jesus states that He, alone (autos), has authority over all flesh, and that He is the singular giver (didomi) of eternal life
  • Jesus, all through the Gospel of John, proclaims that He (The Son) gives everlasting life to those who believe in Him
  • Jesus refers to Theos as the only true singular God. Jesus also includes Himself with the singular Theos via the singular masculine adjectives “monos” and “alethinos”
  • As the sole giver of eternal life, Jesus reveals to all humanity that the inner man, the soul, the heart (koilia) of the ones believing into Him, shall receive the Holy Spirit, which will flow as rivers of living water (John 7.37 – 39)
    “Koilia” refers to the inner man - it stands metaphorically for the innermost part of man, the soul, the heart
  • This gift to all humanity is about to be given through Jesus Christ upon His death on the Cross, and subsequent Resurrection
  • Thus, Biblical scripture states:
  • Jesus is God
  • Jesus gives eternal Life
  • Jesus reveals the inner man
  • 86.5 initiates with the copulative particle “fa”, which indicates a close connection between the sentences before and after it; signifying either definite cause and effect or a natural sequence of events
  • Thus, we are told that the gathering of souls, by The Guardian, The Morning Star (i.e. Jesus Christ), as mentioned in 86.4, is intimately linked with what is about to be stated in 86.5
  • “Fa” is inseparably connected to the imperfect tense “lyanthuri”, which means “looks at”
  • The root “nazara” further informs us what exactly is being “looked at” via the definition “he looked at, or towards, in order to see, him, or it; he considered, or viewed, him, or it with his eye; with the sight of the eye; i.e. looked at him, or it.”
  • Thus, from the classic definition, a singular person is being viewed visually
  • Since the verb “lyanthuri” is in the imperfect tense, this tells us that this person is still being looked upon
  • Further, another instance of “falyanthuri”, outside of 86.5 (22.15), appears to have its origins in the Book of Revelation chapter fourteen, in which Jesus appears on a cloud and reaps His harvest of believers - thus we have yet another confirmation of Jesus being seen coming on a cloud, as sura 86 has already amply confirmed
  • We are told that mankind is doing the viewing based upon the juxtaposed word “al-insanu”
  • The next revealing term used in this ayah is “mimma” which expresses a starting point, an origin
  • The final word tells us what is being originated, via the usage of the perfect tense “khuliqa”
  • “Khuliqa” means “was created”, and refers to “the inner man; i.e. his mind, or soul” - identically matching the Glorification of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of John
  • The root “khalaqa” sheds even more light by defining this creation as “the originating or producing a thing after a pattern or model”
  • Further,“khalaqa” is an act of God
  • The inner man is being initiated by an act of God – which implies that the Guardian, the Morning Star (i.e. Jesus Christ) is God
  • Thus, pulling these terms together, the completed action tense of “khuliqa” indicates to us an event that has already occurred in the past, involving “him”, as an act of God, and yet mankind is still viewing this event, even to this day, as a new starting point
  • Thus 86.5 states:
  • Mankind is viewing Jesus Christ upon the Cross
  • The Cause is Jesus Christ
  • The Effect is the rebirth of mankind to everlasting life though His crucifixion
  • Jesus reveals the inner man
  • Observe also that sura 86 only repeats and paraphrases Biblical scripture in which the true Biblical God is proclaimed
  • Nowhere in the entirety of sura 86 do we have the god “allah” mentioned
  • Sura 86 only describes the deity attributes of the true Biblical God Jesus Christ

68:6 this is the second lie in this thread the verse doesn't say that

this is the actual verse:

He(the human being) was created from a gushing fluid

the gushing fluid is what you call today sperms.


You meant to say 86.6, brother...

This ayah is not regarding "sperm", brother...come on.

Here is the true rendering and where it was copied from...

Summary of 86.6:

  • In the Gospel of John, John gives his eye witness account regarding Jesus’ crucifixion (John 19.32 – 34)
  • John records that Jesus did indeed died upon the cross
  • As confirmation of this, a soldier thrusts his spear into Jesus’ side, upon which blood (haima) and water ( hudor) came out at once (exerchomai eutheos)
  • In Revelation, scripture also confirms Jesus’ piercing and death upon the Cross, subsequent Resurrection, and His forgiveness of our sins (Rev 1.5 - 7)
  • Jesus’ forgiveness of our sins is likened to a liquid cleansing. We are told that only Jesus’ blood (haima autos) can wash (louo) us of our sins (hamartia)
  • John’s eye witness informs us that this liquid cleansing involves both Water & Blood.
  • Also, even though Jesus, Theos, and The Father are all mentioned separately in Revelation, their action is singular via the usage of singular terms such as “autos” and “poieo” (to make), and it is this singular entity that receives the glory
  • Thus we have this Biblical recap:
  • Jesus is crucified until death
  • When Jesus’ side is pierced, both water & blood flow at once
  • It is through this flow of water & blood that mankind is forgiven of sin
  • Just as the vantage point of 86.5 has mankind looking upon the Crucified Jesus Christ on the Cross; so 86.6 continues further narrative confirming that Jesus died upon the Cross
  • 86.6 initiates with the same term as 86.5 ended with, “khuliqa”
  • “Khuliqa”, as detailed in 86.5, imparts the expression “the inner man was created”
  • Coupled to this term is the preposition “min”
  • “Min” is a preposition signifying origin, composition, explanation, commencement, and has been rendered “out of”
  • Thus, we are about to be informed as to the origin of the inner man
  • The next juxtaposed term is “ma-in”
  • “Ma-in” is rendered as “water”…and, per the classic definition, also “the water of a sword”
  • We have just been told that the inner man is created out of water
  • The final term in 86.6 is “dafiqin”
  • Per the classic definition “ma-in dafiqin” relates to “water pouring forth, or out, at once”, is only used this one time in the Koran – and directly mimics the Biblical description of the fluid emission from Jesus
  • The root “dafaqa” also gives us tremendous insight as to the origin of this water via the definition “it poured forth the water, from its sides. He (a camel) has his teeth standing outwards: or had his elbows far apart from his sides
  • This origin of the water flow tells us that it emanates from the side; from someone that has his elbows far apart from his sides
  • This can only be referring to the pierced side of the crucified Jesus Christ


Koranic fluid-based human creation


(Water)
  • Surveying the Koran for human creation via water yields three additional instances outside that of 86.6….(25.54, 32.8, 77.20)
  • Summarizing the content of these three external ayahs:
  • They inform us that human “creation” from water is intimately coupled with kinship (nasaban) and marriage (sihran)
  • “Nasaban” imparts to us a relationship with respect to a father. Its root “nasaba” imparts someone announcing his relationship by such phrases as: the son of such a one: or He is of such a tribe, etc.
  • The only other two Koranic usages of the root “nasaba” and its derivatives both pertain to the resurrection, and to the blowing of the final trumpet
  • Informs us of a “water creation” that makes mankind worthy of his Lord
  • The common terminology shared between the context of 77.20 and 23.13 provides a vital clue that water (ma-in) is used in unison with a quantity of pure water (nutfatan)
  • Further, the context of 23.13 also clearly mandates that blood (alaqatan) also be considered along with these, as well. Thus, we need to consider all three of these fluid-based human creation passages within the Koran, as they are all intimately linked with one another
  • As outlined in the sura 81 exegesis, 81.20 pertains to the establishment of Jesus upon the throne by mentioning the “established one” (makeenin), from the root “makuna” (meaning he made Him to have dominion) which clearly indicates that the Word (from 81.19), is God Almighty
  • The only other Koranic location of “makeenin” is found in 12.54, in which is described the presence of a King.
  • Thus, the authors of the Koran have formed a premise that the fluid-based human creation passages are dealing with deity, in particular, deity of Jesus Christ.

(Blood)

  • Surveying the Koran for human creation via blood yields six instances...(22.5, 23.14(2x), 40.67, 75.38, 96.2)
  • Defining the blood terms (alaqin/alaqatan) in these ayahs reveals that they pertain to the following:
  • Anything hung
  • Blood, or clotted blood
  • Decrees of death
  • A garment worn by a man that is held in high esteem
  • A sword
  • A tree used for tanning
  • Thus, even the classic definitions clearly point to Jesus’ crucifixion and death upon the Cross
  • Summarizing the content of these six blood ayahs:
  • All Koranic instances describing human creation via blood, also include human creation via a quantity of pure water (“nutfatan”) – except for 96.2
  • These ayahs have context referring to the Resurrection and/or another creation, and an individual that has died previously
  • Thus, these ayahs also clearly support the crucifixion event of Jesus Christ



(Nutfatan)

  • Surveying the Koran for human creation via a quantity of pure water yields twelve instances...(16.4, 18.37, 22.5, 23.13, 23.14, 35.11, 36.77, 40.67, 53.46, 75.37, 76.2, 80.19)
  • Defining the term “nutfatin” reveals that it pertains to the following:
  • A quantity of pure water
  • A drop of fluid
  • A drop of sperm
  • Summarizing the content of these twelve “nutfatin” ayahs:
  • The authors of the Koran have formed a premise that the fluid-based human creation passages are dealing with deity, in particular deity of Jesus Christ.
  • The authors of the Koran have once again used Jesus’ attributes in describing that the fluid-based human creation passages pertain to Jesus Christ
  • These fluid-based human creation ayahs use the following attribute indicators:
  • The Bright Morning Star
  • The Truth
  • The Male
  • The Way
  • The Good Man
  • As demonstrated in numerous other ayahs, Jesus Christ (The Truth) is responsible for the creation of the heavens and the earth. This ayah further informs us that Jesus created mankind from the liquid “nutfatin”
  • The context of this ayah gives us great insight that the liquid “nutfatin” pertains directly to Jesus Christ, as indicated in the last ayah, in which He is directly referred to as The Morning Star, same as the title of sura 86
  • Further, look at all the things listed up to The Morning Star proclamation:
  • He died
  • He gave life
  • He prepared the Female (mankind) to be with Himself (The Male)
  • He is the final Resurrection
  • All these things listed emanate from a quantity of pure water
  • All these things point to Jesus Christ
  • Indicators point to the Biblical Jesus Christ, The Male, He gives life to the dead ones
  • The context of this ayah informs us that the “nutfatin”, which is a quantity of pure water, is a mixture of red and white – hinting of the blood that it is mixed with. Further, we are told of guidance by “The Way”
  • Indicates that “The Way” is responsible for the Resurrection of the dead
  • The evidence is clear….86.6 tells us that Jesus Christ (i.e. the Morning Star) was crucified until death upon the cross

68:7 this is the third lie in this thread, there is no cross mentioned and all your translation is nothing but a lie

this is the actual verse:

Coming from between the back and the ribs.

the sperms are coming between these 2


You meant to say 86.7, brother...

Again, this ayah has absolutely nothing to do with sperm or reproduction.

Have you been googling your answers, or what?

Put some of that Arabic prowess that you profess to have, to work.

Here is the true meaning of the ayah and where it was copied from...


Summary of 86.7:

  • In the Gospel according to John, we are told the geographic location in which Jesus was crucified (John 19.17 – 18)
  • The knoll, near Jerusalem, where Jesus was crucified upon the cross (stauros), is described as being a rocky place where large stones have been rolled
  • John relays his eyewitness account as to the physical location in which Jesus’ body was pierced while upon the Cross
  • John records that a soldier’s spear pierced (nusso) Jesus’ side (pleura)
  • As confirmation that Jesus died upon the cross, we are told that the soldiers spear pierced Jesus, on His side, through the rib (John 19.32 – 34)
  • John also records that Jesus was wrapped in grave clothes and was placed in a grave, further confirming His death upon the Cross (John 20.7 – 9)
  • John also details to us that Jesus’ grave was later found to be empty, and that scripture had forecast His Resurrection
  • We are told in the Gospel according to John:
  • That Jesus was crucified upon the Cross until dead (John 19.32 – 34)
  • The geographical location where Jesus was crucified (John 19.17 – 18)
  • That Jesus was pierced with a spear (John 19.32 – 34)
  • The physical location on Jesus’ body in which He was pierced (i.e. the ribs, the side) (John 19.32 – 34)
  • That blood and water poured from His side after He was confirmed dead (John 19.32 – 34)
  • That Jesus was Resurrected (John 20.7 – 9)
  • Following on the heals of 86.6, which informs us that Jesus Christ (i.e. the Morning Star) was crucified until death upon the Cross, and that the inner man was created from this crucifixion event; 86.7 continues with the masculine, singular, imperfect tense “yakhruju”, meaning “He emerges”
  • Surveying all twenty Koranic locations of “yakhruju” & “wayakhruju” demonstrates that this term is overwhelmingly used in reference to, and describes an action by, Koranic deity
  • Most notable of its contextual usage is the fact that it references the entering into the earth (death & burial), and the subsequent emerging from it (masculine singular representing Jesus’ Resurrection), and then the ascending and descending in a cloud – identical to the Biblical Jesus Christ
  • The repeated contextual usage of “yakhruju”, relating to ascension/descending in a cloud, further solidifies The Second Coming of Jesus theme of sura 86, as evidenced all the way through the sura
  • These ayahs have also provided for us numerous attributes that apply to Jesus, such as:
  • The First & the Last
  • The Ever Merciful
  • The Most Protecting One
  • The root “kharaja” gives us greater insight by informing us that, “He departed” signifying that He was in the grave but no longer is
  • Further, this root is also stated to be a name for the day of Resurrection
  • “Yakhruju” is referring to Jesus’ singular Resurrection from the grave, and imputes deity to Him
  • The next term is “min”, and, just as in 86.6, “min” is a preposition signifying origin, composition, explanation, commencement, and has been rendered “from”
  • Thus, we are about to be informed from where He (Jesus), emerges from
  • The juxtaposed term, “bayni”, tells us that the emerging is from between two things, per the classic definition: Denotes intervention in the interval between two things, or the middle, or midst, of two things, or the middle of a collective number; thus it signifies between, and amidst, and among. A man, or thing bearing evidence of a quality that he, or it, possesses.
  • It is interesting that the classic definition also states that it applies to a man bearing evidence of a quality that he possesses
  • The root “bana” also indicates something that is made apparent, evident, or clear
  • “Sulbi” is the next very revealing term, as it is a genitive case, singular, masculine noun – which means that it is in possession of another adjacent noun
  • “Sulbi” carries with it the following definition: A rugged, stony place: a rugged, extending place of earth or ground; a hard part of the earth or ground
  • Comparing to the Gospel of John, this correlates to the Hebrew term “Golgotha”, and refers to the geographical location in which Jesus Christ was crucified
  • “Sulbi” gives us a physical location on the human body (i.e. the backbone)
  • “Sulbi” also gives us a weapon (i.e. a sharpened spear)
  • “Alssulbi” is rendered as ‘The Cross’, and carries with it the following classic definitions: “To cause to be crucified. Signifies also ichor, or watery humor, mixed with blood, that flows from the dead. A cross; a certain thing pertaining to Christians, which they take as an object to which to direct the face in prayer. A posture forbidden by the prophet because resembling that of a man when he is crucified, the arms of the man in this case being extended upon the timber.”
  • “Alssulbi” is therefore referencing a very specific thing:
  • A CRUCIFIXION
  • Further, “alssulbi’s” root “salaba” carries with it the meaning “to crucify; he crucified him; to put to death by crucification”
  • Outside of sura 86, the root derivatives of “salaba” occur only seven times (4.23, 4.157, 5.33, 7.124, 12.41, 20.71, 26.49)
  • In six of these seven occurrences, it directly references the complete certainty of death through crucifixion
  • The seventh ayah refers to a physical location upon the human body
  • Honorable mention goes out to ayah 4.157
  • 4.157 is the quintessential Islamic ayah used by Muslims in an attempt to thwart Jesus’ crucifixion, until death, upon the Cross
  • This ayah has been misinterpreted and promoted as a crucifixion denial, when, in fact, it is a Biblical confirmation that Jesus’ crucifixion, and death, upon the Cross, actually did take place
  • Rendering 4.157 as a crucifixion denial, forces the Koran into contradiction with itself
  • 4.157 contains a plethora of positive affirmations, including “wama”, and leaves no doubt in the mind of the reader that Jesus was killed upon the Cross
  • Further, the root “khahafa” gives us deeper insight via the classic meaning “he came after, followed, succeeded, or remained after another or another that had perished or died.” And…take the place of, be the agent, substitute of. A substitute
  • Here we have a confirmation that Jesus indeed died on the Cross, as the root confirms that His followers remained after He died on the Cross
  • Further, the root also confirms to us that Jesus was the sin substitution for mankind
  • Additionally, the root “shakka”, imparts the meaning “I pierced, or transpierced him, or it, with a spear.”
  • Confirming that Jesus was pierced in the side – same as declared in the Holy Bible.
  • We are told an enormous amount of information from “alssulbi”, its root, its derivatives, and its Koranic context
· The final noun in this ayah is “waalttara-ibi”
· “Waalttara-ibi” means “rib bones or four ribs of the right side of the chest and four of the left thereof”


· This word also refers to the part of a camel in which it is stabbed, or stuck
  • Further, this word also refers to “a man’s grave”
  • Reading each Koranic root derivative of “tariba”, in context, demonstrates the overwhelming usage in direct reference to a resurrection and salvation event.
  • Additionally, four of these ayahs have already been identified as pertaining to the fluid-based creation passages (i.e. water/blood and water) as covered in the 86.6 exegesis (i.e. 18.37, 22.5, 35.11, & 40.67)
· Honorable mention goes to ayah 3.59 which also shares a root derivative which directly involves Jesus Christ and mandates that the physical man is created through Jesus Christ

  • Since “alssulbi” is genitive, this means that it holds “waalttara-ibi” in possession…i.e. the Cross has possession over the grave
  • By Koranic context alone, the evidence is overwhelming in favor of 86.7 directly referencing a crucifixion event that resulted in certain death, by referencing a physical location on the human body (i.e. Jesus’ body…i.e. the Morning Star)
  • We are told point blank in 86.7:
  • That Jesus was crucified upon the Cross until dead
  • The geographical location where Jesus was crucified
  • That Jesus was pierced with a spear
  • The physical location on Jesus’ body in which He was pierced (i.e. between the backbone and the ribs)
  • That blood and water poured from His side after He was confirmed dead
  • That Jesus was Resurrected

  • Observe that two equally valid alternate renderings can be gleaned from 86.7:

1) 86.7 He emerges from amidst the Cross and the grave

Or

2) 86.7 He emerges from between the backbone and the rib


  • Both renderings can only be referring to Jesus Christ
  • The first rendering signifying Jesus’ singular Resurrection from death upon the Cross
  • The second rendering signifying the physical location upon Jesus’ body in which the blood and water flowed forth confirming His death upon the Cross
  • Either rendering has Jesus Christ (i.e. the Morning Star; the title of this sura) as the singular One overcoming
