Islam teaches Jesus was not crucified, Why was Jesus indicted to begin with?

Islam has never dealt with Jesus in any real detail..The reasons for his arrest are obscured in the Quran just like the reasons for his being known as the messiah, his Claims of Sonship, and his proclamtion of being the ONLY way to God, as well as the fact he was the only Prophet to be resurrected and glorified. It seems that Islam needs his name for its own credibility but they actually do not accept any of his truth or claims. If you have Jesus WITHOUT Islam you have a clear path of salvation. If you have Jesus with Islam you have a strange cult that has leeched onto the Judeo/Christian heritage in order to get itself some validity and history. Islam actually hates Christ, Robbing him of his diety and primacy. They have to grudgingly acknowledge Jesus in an offhand way however or otherwise they are an orphan having no credible foundation of their own. Many other cults have made use of this tactic like the Gnostics and the Mormons etc. The true message of Jesus as well as His identity and purpose get lost in the process. The Simple fact is if you have Jesus there is no need for Mohammed.

The Gnostic Gospels also said that Jesus was not killed by the Jews; it seems that Islam was quoting the Gnostic gospels which was popular among Arabs in those days.

The simple truth is, if Jesus sas not crucified, died and rose again, there would have been no Christianity today. The first Christians based their faith on the death and resurrection of Jesus.

After they death of Jesus, his followers were afraid and hid themselves; it took a resurrected Christ to convince them that he was the truth. Then when they received the holy spirit at Pentecost, they fearlessly went teaching the gospel to every nation. Even while being persecuted, they continued.

Read the Quran.

Several times even in the first couple of Suwar God admonishes those who kill Prophets just for the sake of being Prophets. Eesa (as) bought a new revelation, this in itself would have been considered blasphemous and the stubborn ones (like those who didn't accept the Quran) thought Eesa (as) (and Muhammad (saw)) to be heretical liars. The fact they continued preaching the oneness of God and their claims of Prophecy didn't bode well with the majority and left them subject to abuse and continual threats on their lives. Eesa (as) was considered a false Prophet and a false messiah, this was his triable offence.

He was indicted for blasphemy which was a false accusation.

This is the most interesting and intelligent question that has been asked here in a very long time. Of course you know that no Muslim is going to be able to truthfully answer without going against their religious beliefs.

Jesus Sallahualaihi wasalam was the son of Mary which both the Quran and Bible agree with. But the Quran states that when he was told to be crucified Allah subhanahuwata'ala lifted him to heaven and put another person to be crucified in his place which others took as Jesus PBUH..which is why the Bible states he was crucified but its wrong to think so. The reason for him to being crucified was because he went against the jewish laws and ethics of that time. The priest of that time plotted a plan against him to frame him saying he was out to ruin the face of the government and so was sentenced to be crucified but before they did that, they beat him and slashed him 100 brutal slashes. but before they could crucify him Allah took his soul and lifted him to heaven putting another man in his place.

Salamualaikum

Have you met the Romans?

I'm sure the two thieves next to Jesus didn't steal anything, either.

He was indicted for professing his prophetship when the Jews tried to cut that off.

1. Not all prophets were "highly esteemed" at the time of their entrance into history. The Prophet Muhammad was repeatedly stoned, punished by the Quraysh tribes...half of the men whom we call "sahaba" today (like Umar ibn al Khattab) wanted him dead for his blasphemy against the pagan Arabs.

2. Jews...Romans...they complimented each other and they refused to have another power...whether it be religious or political (respectively) to undermine theirs.

3. Isa was NOT the son of God, however he claimed himself to be a prophet (when the Jews explicitly believed that their religion needed NOT any more enhancements) and commenced several miracles for the socially handicapped to prove his claims. That's from where the threats spurned.

...son of God...prophet of God...they were both blasphemies.

a "crime worthy of execution" could be anything, Djmantx; those people punished common day criminals on the cross.

Quran:

004:155

...they [The People of the Book] rejected the signs of Allah; that they slew the Messengers in defiance of right; that they said, "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve Allah's Word; WE NEED NO MORE)"...

004.157

And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger.

YES THEY DID CRUCIFY HIM FOR CLAIM TO BE THE MESSIAH DO I NEED TO SHOW YOU THE [OBJECTIVE] HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS?! DO I NEED TO SHOW YOU OTHER EXAMPLES OF THEIR WEAK LITIGATION'S?! WILL THAT CONVINCE YOU? dear lord you are so thick...it's like explaining math to a monkey. everything you just professed to me can be deflected right back to your beliefs. it doesn't take a history ph.d to tell you that several men were crucified for crimes both big and small...and were deemed GUILTY BEFORE PROVEN INNOCENT. even so there was a lot of corruption because of power greediness. how can i s.p.e.l.l. it out for you? you explain why jesus was crucified in the Bible? what evidence did they have against him that proved he was NOT the son of God?...he proclaimed himself to be something that the Jews didn't believe and deemed BLASPHEMOUS...how is that so hard to swallow?

Historically speaking, he was indicted because the Romans were getting nervous about a dissident who could have been a traitor to the Empire. Not a good position to be in back then.

I do not have detailed knowledge to answer what actually happened at that time.

But refering to common sense, every speaker of the truth would be the enemy of the people in power. This is because the truth would not allow the people in power to practice their unjust deeds, or it would raise the people against them.

So what usually happens is a false accusation backed by fake evidence provided by the powerful people against the speaker of the truth. I think this is what happened to Jesus himself (pbuh).

Jesus says : I and the Father are one

Yes ! Jesus said that .But if we understand the Con**** in which this sentence was said , We will Prove his human prophet hood which has

Nothing to do with being a God

.

John 25 :10

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's ****, these bear witness of me.

And then he said : I and the Father are one "

as a response jaws who were asking him about his reality

After his answer they wanted to throw him with stones because they thought that he made himself equal to God .So what was his explanation for what he previously said ?

John 33 :10

They answered, "We are not stoning you because of any good thing you did. We are stoning you because you did a terrible thing. You are just a man, and here you are claiming to be God!"

John 10 :34

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? .

If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the ******ure cannot be broken;

This is the point ! Jesus Told them that God in the ******ure described his apostles to be gods .It is very Clear in the sentence :" he called them gods "

So this sentence "I and father are one " means that they are One in purpose Not in nature ,depending on the explanation of Jesus himself,the story Makes it clear that God used this word to describe all of his prophets Not Only Jesus!
