1. Isaiah 53, and the Death of Jesus.
1- Ample Prophesiesin the Old Testamentaboutthe Messiahgetting
saved from crucifixion:
You would expect that major events such as the crucifixion and the resurrection of
Christ, that make up the entire case for Christianity, to be at least prophesied in the
Bible's Old Testament clearly, without any ambiguity, and without any deliberate
mistranslations and lies. But the Truth and the sad reality for the believers in the
crucifixion, who are too also desperate to prove trinity even though the word itself,
"trinity", doesn't even exist in the entire Bible, is that these major events, the crucifixion
and the resurrection, were never mentioned in the entire Old Testament.
The following Biblical verses that further refute the crucifixion and resurrection lies:
Being lifted and saved:
Luke 4:10-12
10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect and guard you.
11 And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on
a stone.’”
12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
Matthew 4:5-10
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple,
6 and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order
his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t
even hurt your foot on a stone.’”
7 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
8 Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.”
10 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship
the Lord your God and serve only him.’”
Please visit: Psalm 91 clearly confirms that Jesus never got crucified.
There are few points to notice in these verses:
1- Notice how satan referred to Psalm 91 regarding the protection of Jesus.
2- Notice how Jesus confirmed that Psalm 91 was indeed speaking about him by
saying "the Scriptures also say..." (Luke 4:12 and Matthew 4:7).
3- As we will see in the sections below, Psalm 91 is not just concerned with preventing
Christ or the Messiah from striking his feet against the ground. This is the least point
the chapter is concerned with. The chapter concentrated heavily on:
(see the following sub-section's points)
2. (a)- Psalm 91 is not just limited to the foot striking the rock!
The following table contains all of Psalm 91 and detailed analysis about its key verses.
Notice how the New Testament in Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-6 and in many other
places completely misquoted and misunderstood Psalm 91. Psalm 91 and its verses
are not just concerned about Jesus' striking of his feet against a rock (Psalm
91:12). That is a lie and a clear fabrication! [1] [2] This piece is very minor in the
chapter, because the chapter is more focused on:
save him (Psalm
91:3).
hty will cover him with His Protection (Psalm 91:4).
Christ will then observe with his own eyes the punishment of the
crucified ones (Psalm 91:8).
No harm (this includes crucifixion!) or disaster will even come near
Christ (Psalm 91:10....this even contradicts him getting beaten up before
crucifixion).
to protect him and lift him (Psalm
91:11-12, 14, Isaiah 52:13). Not even his foot will strike the ground from his
enemies pushing, grappling and punishment.
Christ's call will be HEARD, and he will be delivered and honored (Psalm
91:15, Isaiah 52:13). No way would these verses be valid if Christ got
crucified.
life will be prolonged (extended) and he will live to even see his
offspring (Isaiah 53:10 and Psalm 91:16, which by the way contradict Jesus
never got married and had children. In Islam's Noble Quran's 13:38, however, it
is quite possible that Jesus Christ had wives and children).
His life will overpower death (Isaiah 53:12).
"Death" in Isaiah 53:9 is proven to be symbolic using the Hebrew Lexicon
and several English translations, and it never meant a literal death.
Important Note: Psalm 91 is speaking as a number of Prophecies
that WILL take place. Notice how the verses are speak of future events
that WILL TAKE PLACE. Never once throughout the entire New Testament
were the Angels sent to save Jesus from striking his foot against a rock. This,
again, clearly proves that the NT is indeed false and corrupt.
3. Here is Psalm 91 that Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-
6 link to Jesus:
(Pay attention to the red text below, especially in Psalm
91:11-12, 15 and the others)
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in
the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my
fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and
from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings
you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and
rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that
flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the
plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your
right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the
punishment of the wicked.
4. (According to the Noble Quran and
the original writings of the Disciples of
Jesus, Jesus was not crucified, and he
watched the crucifixion of the doomed
person.
Also, according to the Apocalypse of
Peter that was discovered in Egypt, Jesus sat
on the tree and watched the crucified one
getting crucified. Peter witnessed this and
wrote the Apocalypse. Not only that, but
while Christians insist that the book is a
Gnostic one, but according
to Wikipedia.org, "It is unclear whether this
text advocates an adoptionist (Jesus was
Divine) or docetist (Jesus' body and
crucifixion were an illusion) christology".
So there is no proof that the book is
Gnostic.)
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the
LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come
near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to
guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will
not strike your foot against a stone.
(If Jesus died on the cross and got buried, then his feet
would've struck the ground and the stones on it from
bringing him down, throwing him on the floor and
burying him).
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will
trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will
rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my
name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be
with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
5. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my
salvation."

Lifting up those who bow down:
Psalm 145:14
The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
Psalm 146:8
the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the
LORD loves the righteous.
Isaiah 52:13
13 See, my servant will act wisely ; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Please visit: Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty begging Him to save him from
the crucifixion.
GOD Almighty Saving His annointed King and saving those who take refuge in
Him:
Psalm 20:6
6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed king. He answers him from his holy
heaven. The power of God's right hand saves the king.
7. Psalm 17:7
Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who
take refuge in you from their foes.
Psalm 18:3
I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
Psalm 9:13
O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the
gates of death,
Psalm 30:1
[ A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David. ] I will exalt you, O LORD,
for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
Note: The Psalms of David, while they are narrated by him, but they do contain many
prophecies about the coming of Jesus Christ or the Messiah. The New Testament had
made many references to many of the Psalms verses and linked them to Jesus Christ.
It is also interesting to know that King David was never killed by his enemies.
Therefore, the speech in Psalm 9:13 and Psalm 30:1 refer to a live man and not a man
who died. Notice how David said:
1- "I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my
enemies gloat over me."
2- "Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death".
The two quotes indicate that David cried out to GOD Almighty for help, and GOD
Almighty lifted him from the enemies' defeat and death. In other words, David was
victorious and was never killed or put to death by them. Remember that King David
was never killed by his enemies. He was lifted up by GOD Almighty and was made
victorious over them.
Therefore, it is also safe to say that GOD Almighty's Commands about "saving" and "
sending down the Angels to lift up" Christ from his enemies, in Psalm 91 and the rest of
the Psalm verses above, also undoubtebly prove that Jesus Christ indeed never got
crucified and was indeed saved from crucifixion and death.

2- Isaiah 53 and its mistranslations:
Please visit the Rebuttals section below for great analysis on Isaiah 53. Before we look
at the Isaiah 53 chapter, I'd like for you to keep the following important points about the
chapter in mind:
(a)- Isaiah 53's symbolic speeches:
(Most of the following points were taken from brother Musa's
rebuttal; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him)
1- Isaiah 53:3 says that "Jesus" is despised by all men. In
Luke 10:1, Jesus has at least 70 followers, and in other
verses we're told that he fed and healedthousands (John
6:9-11, Luke 17:11-19 and other verses).
2- In Isaiah 53:5 it says he was wounded for our
transgressions. Now right away one might assume this is
the death of Jesus. However it says he was WOUNDED
not killed. But let us go with killed for your arguments sake.
This is not what this verse is saying. It is saying that they
made a mistake so he is paying for it. They plotted or
accused against him. This is exactly what happened. And
again, the verse says wounded, which further proves that
Christ was never killed.
3- Isaiah 53:7 states that "he did not open his mouth".
There are two possible interpretations and answers to this:
1. Jesus never literally spoke a single word during the
crucifixion trial. This is obviously wrong
because Jesus spoke during his trial with both Pontius
Pilot and the Jews. And we all know Jesus' famous
and final cry to GOD Almighty when he said: "Eloi
Eloi lama sabachtani!", which translates: "My GOD my
10. GOD, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew
27:46) So wrong. He did open his mouth.
2. Jesus did not object to GOD Almighty's Will. This is
also wrong, because again, Jesus cried during the
crucifixion "My GOD my GOD why have you forsaken
me?", and he also prayed ENDLESSLY to GOD
Almighty on the night of the crucifixion to not get
crucified! (Matthew 16:39, Matthew 26:36-44, Luke
6:12) He even bowed down his face to Allah Almighty
in worship endless times begging Him for a change
in Decision. So yes, Jesus did object.
4- Isaiah 53:8's English translation falsely states "he will be
cut off from the land of the living". See below in my
rebutttals section where I've proven from the NIV Bible's
commentary itself that the Hebrew word says "He will be
thrown in jail."
5- Isaiah 53:9 says that he made his grave with the wicked
and the rich. According to http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-
9.htm:
"in his death" is a translation to the Hebrew Mawth. This
word is symbolic as further confirmed in the Hebrew lexicon:
his death
maveth (maw'-veth)
death (natural or violent); concretely, the dead, their
place or state (hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin --
(be) dead(-ly), death, die(-d)."
(http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-9.htm)
So in his death here is symbolically referring to his
execution trial and not necessarily his physical and
literal death. This is further proven inYoung's
Literal Translation of the verse:
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and
with the rich in his death [Here is how the literal
translation says: "And it appointeth with the wicked his
grave, And with the rich [are] his high places"....This is
verified at this link: (Young's Literal Translation)],
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit
in his mouth.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah
53:9;&version=51;
Isaiah 53:9 (New Living Translation)
9 He had done no wrong and had never deceived
11. anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put
in a rich man’s grave.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah
53:9;&version=46;
Isaiah 53:9 (Contemporary English Version)
9 He wasn't dishonest or violent, but he was buried
in a tomb of cruel and rich people.
There are also two errors in the fulfillment of this Prophecy:
1. Jesus was never buried (Matthew 27:59-66, Matthew
28)! He was temporarily placed in a tomb and then
his body disappeared after that. But he never ONCE
was buried under ground as our dead get buried.
2. Jesus, who was never buried from the first place, was
also NEVER BURIED with the wicked and the rich.
His tomb was placed in an isolated area as recorded
in the gospels.
Again, verse 9 says that he was to be buried with both the
wicked and the rich. Jesus was buried alone.
6- In Isaiah 53:10-11, GOD Almighty will prolong Jesus' life
and Jesus will live to even see his offspring (his children)!
And Christ will see the Light and be satisfied after the
suffering of his soul. The suffering of his soul here is
referring to the overwhelming fear that Jesus had and the
countless cries and Prayers that he made to Allah Almighty
to save him. Psalm 91 further speaks clearly on this. Also,
Jesus' life was never made long or extended. He only lived
for 33 years, so we're told in the gospels, and he certainly
never married any woman nor had any child from any
woman. Yet, Isaiah 53:10 clearly says that he will live and
he will have and see his children.
7- In Isaiah 53:12, we are told that Jesus' life or soul will be
poured unto death. To me, given the Islamic position about
Christ never got crucified, and given the symbolic speech in
Isaiah 53 chapter that most of it conflicts with what really
took place with Christ in the gospels, and given the fact that
many early writings in Palestine and elsewhere stated clearly
that Jesus never got crucified such as in the Apocalypse of
Peter and other ancient texts, then my interpretation of this
verse about Jesus' life being poured unto death means to me
that Jesus' life will overpower death! This is indisputably
proven in Psalm 91 where it states that not only Jesus will
not get crucified, but GOD Almighty will also hear his cries
and will send down the Angels to PROTECT HIM andSAVE
HIM. And Psalm 91 also says that Christ will call upon GOD
12. Almighty and GOD Almighty will HEAR him and HONOR
him. Christ would not have been honored if he have died
the humiliating death of the cross. And certainly, he would
not have been "saved" either by the Angels.
Given all of this, let us now look at the Chapter of Isaiah 53 in the Bible:
1
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no
beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire
him.
3
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken
by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5
But he was pierced wounded (KJV) for our transgressions, he was crushed bruised
(KJV) for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his
wounds we are healed.
6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the
LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to
the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his
mouth.
8
By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his
descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living (This is a lie! The
Hebrew says he will be thrown in jail according to the NIV Bible's commentary. Read
the Rebuttals section below for ample details); for the transgression of my people he
was stricken.
9
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death [Here is
how the literal translation says: "And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the
rich [are] his high places"....This is verified at this link: (Young's Literal Translation)],
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Isaiah 53:9 says that he made his grave with the wicked and
the rich. According to http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-
9.htm:
"in his death" is a translation to the Hebrew Mawth. The
13. word is symbolic one as further confirmed in the Hebrew
lexicon:
his death
maveth (maw'-veth)
death (natural or violent); concretely, the dead, their
place or state (hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin --
(be) dead(-ly), death, die(-d)."
(http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-9.htm)
So in his death here is symbolically referring to his
execution trial and not necessarily his physical and
literal death. This is further proven in Young's
Literal Translation of the verse:
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and
with the rich in his death [Here is how the literal
translation says: "And it appointeth with the wicked his
grave, And with the rich [are] his high places"....This is
verified at this link: (Young's Literal Translation)],
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit
in his mouth.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah
53:9;&version=51;
Isaiah 53:9 (New Living Translation)
9 He had done no wrong and had never deceived
anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put
in a rich man’s grave.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah
53:9;&version=46;
Isaiah 53:9 (Contemporary English Version)
9 He wasn't dishonest or violent, but he was buried
in a tomb of cruel and rich people.
10
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the
LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his
days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
According to Christianity, Jesus Christ was single and
never married nor did he have children. This verse
14. clearly refutes Christianity, because the Servant here
will live to see his biological children ("his
offspring") along with his days being prolonged (made
longer). Christ died at the young age of 33 according
to Christianity, which is also against this verse.
Christs' years are short in Christianity, while in
Isaiah 53:10, the servant's years are very long and
extended along with him living them with his biological
children.
11
After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied; by his
knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
12
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils
with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death [It doesn't at all mean
that he will die. The literal translation says: "Because that he exposed to death
his soul"....This is verified again at this link: (Young's Literal
Translation).......Both Islam and Isaiah 52:13 claim that Jesus never got
crucified. See below.], and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore
the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
(b)- Isaiah 53:12:
The mistranslated verse states:
Isaiah 5:12 "....because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the
transgressors....."
15. This verse doesn't clearly state that the predicted servant will actually die. It could be
easily read as he will defeat, overpower and/or escape death. Also, when we study
carefully the poetical literature of Isaiah 53, and study carefully the claims made above,
we see that "him pouring his life unto death" means that the goodness that he will bring
from GOD Almighty will be the light that will bring his people from darkness (death) into
light (goodness). He will defeat death (darkness). Isaiah 5:12 does not state that he
will die. It clearly states that he will shadow or overwhelm death by his life.
If I, for instance, pour my cup of cranberry juice on the white carpet, then I would create
a big red spot on the carpet. I wouldn't be changing the juice into carpet, or the carpet
into juice. No, I would simply defeat the whiteness of the carpet by the color of the
juice. That's what pouring the juice on the carpet means.
Same thing applies with the servant pouring his life unto death. GOD Almighty
considers evil doing and not believing in Him as equal to death.
Important Note: In many Verses in the Bible, we see that GOD Almighty used in
Hebrew, Sheol, the word for "hell" as the same Hebrew word for "death". That is why
the Christian Jehovah Witnesses don't believe in "Hell Fire" as punishment for the
unbelievers. They believe that "Hell" is actual "Death". So to put it in other words,
Isaiah 53:12 could also mean that the Servant (Jesus) will over shadow or cover "hell
(death)" with "life (good)". So whoever believes in that Servant from the People of Israel
will be saved from hell or death.
Have Isaiah 53:12 clearly said "and he will die for people's sins and resurrect after 3
days", then we would have nothing to argue about. So Jesus pouring his life (good)
unto death (bad), means that whomever believes in his message from the People of
Israel will defeat bad (darkness) and will be saved, and will have Jesus' life (goodness).
This perfectly matches what Islam claims about our beloved Prophet Jesus peace be
upon him.

16. Psalm 22 and 88 also confirm Islam's claim about Jesus never got
crucified.
3- The crucifixion would've broken at least one bone, refuting John 19:30-40!
If we were to take the Bible literally, then we will see clear contradictions in the
crucifixion story. Let us look at what the Bible says about piercing Jesus:
John 19:30-40:
30
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed
his head and gave up his spirit.
31
Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath.
Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the
Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
32
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been
crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.
33
But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not
break his legs.
34
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden
flow of blood and water.
35
The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows
that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.
36
These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his
bones will be broken,"
The Verses that reference the Bones:
"A righteous man may have many troubles, but
the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects
all his bones, not one of them will be
broken. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 34:19-20)"
As these verses don't even seem to be talking
about the Messiah or any crucifixion, but
17. assuming that they did, notice how Psalm 34:20
says that GOD Almighty will protect "all his bones".
So, not even an inch from his bones will be
damaged according to the Scriptures - again
assuming that the verses are even talking about
the Messiah!! This is exactly what the Noble Quran
and Isaiah 52:13 say!
Also, notice how Psalm 34:19 says that the LORD
delivers him from "ALL OF THE troubles, which
clearly goes against the crucifixion lie. But anyway
despite the John 19:36 verse, I still proved, by
Allah Almighty's Mercy, Grace and Will, that the
Psalm verses actually further proved the Noble
Quran's claims along with Isaiah 52:13, and Jesus'
Disciples' and the Early Christians original writings
that were found in Palestine and Egypt

and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."

Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was
a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's
permission, he came and took the body away.
39
18. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at
night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five
pounds.

Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.
This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.
First of all, notice the man-made third party narration in the book of John. The NIV
Bible's Historians and Theologians are not even sure who wrote the books of John, 1
John, 2 John and 3 John. The original authors are mysterious.
In the above verses, the mysterious author or authors suggest that Jesus' bones were
reserved because the soldiers did not break his knees, hence this fulfills the Scriptures'
prophecy that GOD will protect his body that not even a single bone would break.
Also see detailed refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah
12:10 and Psalm 34:20 that supposedly suggest that GOD Almighty was
going to get pierced on the cross.
Hebrews 5:7-8 clearly and irrefutably claim that Jesus was saved from the
cross; confirming Islam's claims.
None of Jesus' disciples witnessed the crucifixion. They "all fled" and
"deserted" Jesus. This further confirms Islam's claims.
Chapter Psalm 91 clearly and indisputably confirms that Jesus never got
crucified!
Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got

Contradictions in the resurrection story in the Bible.
Let us look at the obvious contradiction in the above verses:
Taken from the above verses: "These things happened so that the scripture would be
fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken,' and, as another scripture says, 'They
will look on the one they have pierced.' (From the NIV Bible, John 19:36-37)"
19. "A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them
all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. (From the NIV
Bible, Psalm 34:19-20)"
Again, as these verses don't even seem to be talking about the Messiah or any
crucifixion, but assuming that it did, notice how Psalm 34:20 says that GOD Almighty
will protect "all his bones". So, not even an inch from his bones will be damaged
according to the Scriptures - again assuming that the verses are even talking about the
Messiah!!
As you might know, the crucifixion back then was done by nailing to the cross the hands
and the ankles or the feet. If GOD Almighty was going to protect Jesus' body that not
even a single bone will be broken, then how would the crucifixion and the death of
Jesus be possible then?!
My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get
nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking
part of the feet's bones?!
And for the parts of the Bible that suggest that Jesus actually died (which clearly
contradict the Verses that I presented above), please visit What parts of the Bible do
Muslims believe are closest to the Truth?
I clearly see the Noble Quran's Claim about Jesus being saved from crucifixion
being confirmed in Psalm 34:20!
Would Jesus have at least cracked a bone?
When one's hand and feet are nailed to a cross and then he is left on the cross to die
slowly and painfully, would his body's weight at least:
1- Not break a single bone from either one of his hands or one of his feet?
2- Would he not at least crack a bone?
A crack is a break! And since we have 28 bones in each foot [1], and 27 bones in each
hand [2], and some of them are very tiny and slim, then I find it quite impossible that at
least not a single tiny one of them would break if the entire body's weight was resting on
them. But anyway, regardless, Psalm 91 which Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-6 link
Jesus Christ to it, clearly declares that Christ won't get crucified.
Sources:
20. 1- "There are 26 bones in the human foot (28 if you include the sesamoid bones at the
base of the big toe). These are: the Talus, which connects to the tibia at the ankle;
the Calcaneus, which forms the heel; the Navicular, Cuboid, and
three Cuneiforms (Medial, Intermediate, and Lateral), which form the middle of the foot;
the five Metatarsals, which radiate out to the toes; and 14 Phalanges (2-3-3-3-3),
which form the toes." (Source)
2- "27 and no muscle except for
The intrinsic muscle groups are the thenar and hypothenar muscles (thenar referring to
the thumb, hypothenar to the small finger), the interosseus muscles (between the
metacarpal bones, four dorsally and three volarly) and the lumbrical muscles. These
muscles arise from the deep flexor (and are special because they have no bony origin)
and insert on the dorsal extensor hood mechanism." (Source)
4- Islam denies the crucifixion and much of the Bible agrees:
Both Muslims and Christians believe that the grave of Jesus today is empty. It doesn't
have his body in it, because both believe that he was raised to Heaven. The difference
between Muslims and Christians in this issue is that Muslims believe that Jesus never
died on the cross but was raised to GOD Almighty. Christians believe that Jesus died
on the cross, was buried in the grave (obviously his foot would've struck at least one
stone!), and was resurrected to GOD Almighty.
Both the crucifixion and resurrection, as we've seen above, are not supported nor were
ever foretold in the Bible's Old Testament, especially for the resurrection! I mean,
Christians could doctor and twist verses and translations in the OT to support the
crucifixion, but with absolute certainty, there is not a single verse in the entire OT that
even talks about the resurrection. Please visit:
A serious forgery in Luke 24:44-48 about Jesus' "resurrection on the third day"
claiming that it was foretold in the OT when it wasn't!
Forgery of Matthew 23. By Abdullah Smith.
The Resurrection hoax. By Abdullah Smith.
Contradictions in the resurrection story in the Bible.
In Isaiah 53, all it says is that he will get pierced which again it never mentioned the
cross nor did it ever mention any sort of resurrection, not just in this chapter, but also
throughout the Old Testament. If this servant is indeed Jesus peace be upon him, then
21. him being pierced and never dying seems to perfectly support the Islamic teaching
about Prophet Jesus peace be upon him NEVER died on the cross for anyone's sins.
Let us look at the following Noble Verse from the Noble Quran (The Muslims Holy
Scripture):
"That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; 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. Nay, Allah raised him up
Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of
the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And
on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them. (The Noble Quran,
4:156-159)"
Now compare the Noble Verses to Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be raised and lifted up....".
Notice that Isaiah 52:13 did not say "....he will be RESURRECTED and lifted up...."
Not even once, did the Old Testament predict for the foretold Servant to be raised to
GOD Almighty after death. There absolutely no mention of any sort of resurrection in
the Bible's Old Testament what so ever.
Here are the English translations of Isaiah 52:13 that say exactly "raised and lifted
up" or something very similar: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
[16].
The verses from the Noble Quran and Isaiah 52 are perfectly supported and confirmed
at:
Psalm 91 clearly confirms that Jesus never got crucified.
Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified.
Also, please visit: Does the Noble Quran in Verse 19:33 confirm Jesus' crucifixion?
Furthermore, there are early writings that were found in Palestine that say that there is
another who was called Jesus BarAbaa (son of his father since his father wasn't known)
got crucified in the place of our Jesus Christ, whom people also called "Jesus BarAbaa".
Please visit: The disciples' original writings that were found in Palestine declare
that Jesus never got crucified.
Again, I clearly see the Noble Quran's Claim about Jesus being saved from
crucifixion being confirmed in Psalm 34:20!
22. Jesus was never "disfigured" to a point "beyond human likeness"!
Let us look at the following verse:
Isaiah 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him - his appearance was
so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human
likeness-"
It appears that this verse further proves Islam's claims about Jesus, peace be upon him,
never got crucified on the cross, because according to today's corrupt New Testament,
Jesus never got disfigured to a point where no one could recognize his face; not from
crucifixion, nor from the beating that he supposedly received before the crucifixion.
To see the several "canons" or NTs of the "Bible", please visit:
The different "Canons" of the Bible!
Since the Bible was not documented until 150 to 300 years after Jesus peace be upon
him, and during his ministry, nothing was ever documented on paper regarding his
deity, we Muslims believe that a great deal of corruption had entered the Bible. The
following reasons will clarify the Muslims' position:
1- As I mentioned above, the Old Testament doesn't in predict the resurrection of Jesus,
nor it ever considered him as GOD. Please read The "God" title in Isaiah 9:6 was given
to others before and after Jesus.
2- The early Christians rejected Trinity and never believed in it.
3- The disciples of Jesus (John, Mark, Luke, etc...) didn't write the Gospels that were
named after them in the New Testament. I quoted from the NIV Bible the Christian
Theologians themselves regarding the history of the NT.
4- We believe that few centuries after Jesus peace be upon him the Church tampered
with the Bible and invented the Trinity belief.
5- We only believe in Jesus' personal quotes as closest to the truth.
6- Jesus himself in the New Testament taught what Islam teaches; the Oneness of
GOD Almighty and doing Righteousness.
23. 7- Jesus according to Islam never got killed on the cross. Allah Almighty saved him. As
I mentioned in point #5, we only believe in Jesus' quotes as closest to the Truth in the
New Testament. Islam's claims regarding Allah Almighty saving Jesus seem to fit with
Jesus peace be upon him asking Allah Almighty to save him from crucifiction (Matthew
26:39).
5- GOD Almighty Changed His Mind a lot throughout the Bible:
Even though we do not have a single proof about the Old Testament prophesying about
the Messiah's crucifixion, but in this section, we will go ahead and accept this man-
made fabrication. We are still left with ample verses, in the Bible, about GOD Almighty
Changing His Mind a lot that clearly support that GOD Almighty Had all the reasons to
save Jesus from the pain and humiliation of the crucifixion:
GOD Almighty Changing His Emotions:
Ample verses from the book of Isaiah.
GOD Almighty Changing His Mind:
Hosea 11:8
How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you
like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is changed within me; all
my compassion is aroused.
Amos 7:3
So the LORD relented. "This will not happen," the LORD said.
Jeremiah 18:8
and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the
disaster I had planned.
Exodus 32:14
Then the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had
threatened.
Jonah 3:9-10
Who can tell, God may turn and revoke His sentence against us, and turn away
from His fierce anger so that we perish not. And God saw their works, that they turned
from their evil way; and God revoked His evil that He had said that He would do to
them and He did not do it.
24. Joel 2:13-14
Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is
gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He
revokes His sentence of evil. Who knows but what He will turn,revoke your
sentence, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a cereal or meal offering and a drink
offering for the Lord, your God?
1 Chronicles 21:15
And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the LORD
saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was
destroying the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was
then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Exodus 32:14
and Jehovah repenteth of the evil which He hath spoken of doing to His people.
Genesis 6:6
and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth
Himself -- unto His heart.
Judges 2:18
And when Jehovah raised up to them judges -- then was Jehovah with the judge, and
saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth
Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those
thrusting them away.
2 Samuel 24:16
and the messenger putteth forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and Jehovah
repenteth concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who is destroying among
the people, `Enough, now, cease thy hand;' and the messenger of Jehovah was near
the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Jeremiah 26:19
Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear
Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning
the evil that He spake against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.

My Challenge to Christians:
Since the early Christians' and the Disciples' original writings all claim that Jesus never
got crucified, then why couldn't Jehovah Almighty have said something similar to this:
"...And Jehovah repented from the evil of crucifying the Messiah...."
25. Why couldn't this be possible when GOD Almighty saw that the Jews were total losers
and that no Prophet was ever fruitful with them? They were even notorious in slaying
Prophets:
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which
are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (From the KJV Bible,
Matthew 23:37)"
"We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave
Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that
whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are
puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay! (The Noble
Quran, 2:87)"
"And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so
beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and
cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the
worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered
with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of God. This because
they went on rejecting the Signs of God and slaying His Messengers without just
cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing. (The Noble Quran,
2:61)"
"As to those who deny the Signs of God and in defiance of right, slay the prophets,
and slay those who teach just dealing with mankind, announce to them a grievous
penalty. (The Noble Quran, 3:21)"
"God hath heard the taunt of those who say: "Truly, God is indigent and we are rich!"-
We shall certainly record their word and (their act) of slaying the prophets in
defiance of right, and We shall say: "Taste ye the penalty of the Scorching Fire! (The
Noble Quran, 3:181)"
Show one logical reason that would disprove my challenge here! Didn't Jehovah
Almighty already "repent" many times in the past from Divine Decisions that He has
already taken as we clearly saw above?
6- The Jews' view on Isaiah 53:
Please visit: The Jews' understanding of Isaiah 53.
26. 7- Conclusion:
It is quite clear from all of the verses and points above that:
1- We do not have a single clear-cut statement from the entire Old Testament that says
that:
2- We have many verses from both the Old and New Testaments that declare
that Jesus Christ will be saved and lifted by the Angels from any and all harm that
his foes will try to throw at him.
With this said, I ask my respected Jewish and Christian readers to reconsider your
beliefs. I ask you to give Islam a serious and honest research and thought. I strongly
recommend starting with the following links:
1. The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran.
2. What is Islam?
3. The blessed Jesus in Islam.
4. Answering Trinity.
5. Allah is GOD Almighty's Holy Name in the Bible's original Manuscripts that were
discovered - centuries before Islam.
I want to end this article with the following verses from the Holy Quran, and the Bible's
Old and New Testaments:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor
is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV Bible,
Deuteronomy 6:4)"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our
God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone."
(From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his
mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (From the NIV
Bible, Numbers 23:19)"
27. Indeed, Jesus Christ, the man, is only a Messenger from Allah Almighty, and he was
never crucified.
May Allah Almighty enable you to see the Light and the Truth of Islam. And may Allah
Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our beloved and blessed Prophet,
Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.
8- Rebuttals:
The following interactions present detailed analysis on some of the main points of this
article:
(a)- Detailed rebuttal on Isaiah 53:
The following is an interaction about Isaiah 53 between me and a person by the name
of Nakdimon:
He wrote:
1 - Isaiah 53:3 says that "Jesus" is despised by all men. In Luke 10:1, Jesus has
at least 70 followers, and in other verses we're told that he fed and healed
thousands (John 6:9-11, Luke 17:11-19 and other verses).
First of all, Isaiah is describing the status of the servant in his suffering. In the case of
Yeshua that would be during his trial and his death.
My response:
Right from the start you've presented your case with erroneous assumptions without
proving them. Before I start thoroughly refuting your points, I must make this important
point:
In the New Testament, Psalm 91 is directly linked to Jesus Christ, in the New
Testament, by Jesus Christ himself, while Isaiah 53 isn't linked to Jesus by anyone.
Psalm 91 said many Prophecies, and they are listed above in this article. Satan, in the
New Testament, even tried to use Psalm 91 to tempt Jesus into testing GOD Almighty
to try to kill himself by throwing himself off of the canyon or mountain to see if GOD
Almighty will be True to His Word and Promise and send down the Angels to lift
Jesus up from death and harm as precisely mentioned in Psalm 91. Psalm 91 further
28. declares that Christ will call upon GOD Almighty for help to protect him from death, and
GOD Almighty willhonor him and protect him from death.
By the way, Psalm 91 says that GOD Almighty will not even let Jesus strike his foot
against a rock from harm. This is a symbolic speech that means that GOD Almighty will
not let Jesus get hurt at all. Satan tried to fool Jesus by trying to have Jesus test GOD
Almighty or force GOD Almighty into executing this Promise by trying to jump off the
mountain to see if GOD Almighty will truly send down the Angels to lift Jesus up or not.
Now certainly, the Prophecy wasn't speaking about Jesus jumping off of a mountain. It
was again a symbolic speech that meant that GOD Almighty will protect Jesus from
death all the way.
Was Psalm 91 for a limited time only?
Some argued that Psalm 91 could've been only till the time before crucifixion, and that
after that, it no longer applies. This is false and is refuted in Psalm 91 itself once again,
because Psalm 91 says clearly that the servant will call upon GOD Almighty in trouble,
and GOD Almighty will save him from death! GOD Almighty will honor him and protect
him, and will not allow for ANY HARM to come near him. The only time Jesus called
upon GOD Almighty to save his life, in the New Testament, was during the time of
crucifixion.
Again, Isaiah 53 is no where linked to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. It is Psalm
91 that is clearly linked. Not only that, but Isaiah 53 has deliberate mistranslations and
misinterpretations in it that we will see below, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).
He wrote:
He carried the suffering alone, with no one to aid or assist him. Second, I’m looking at
the Hebrew of Isaiah 53:3 and I see nothing about the servant being despised by “all”
men. Can you tell me where the Hebrew word for “all” is in the text? Seeing you made
the claim that Isaiah 53 is mistranslated, I take it your understanding of the text must be
in accordance with what actually is written in the Hebrew text. As far as I’m concerned,
the word “all” isn’t even in the text and therefore point 1 is moot!
My response:
The English translations say "all". And even if we don't put "all" in the translation, it will
still mean that since "some" does not exist in the text. Now, "all" here would mean most
or many. But yet, Jesus was very popular by many, and he supposedly performed his
Miracles in front of thousands of eye witnesses, which would've exploded his popularity
among the people in no time.
29. So in either case, you are refuted.
He wrote:
2 - In Isaiah 53:5 it says he was wounded for our transgressions. Now right away
one might assume this is the death of Jesus. However it says he was WOUNDED
not killed. But let us go with killed for your arguments sake. This is not what this
verse is saying. It is saying that they made a mistake so he is paying for it. They
plotted or accused against him. This is exactly what happened. And again, the
verse says wounded, which further proves that Christ was never killed
And in typical Muslim fashion you read the verse and don’t bother to read on what is
said about the same servant:
Verse 8 says he was “cut off from the land of the living”,
My response:
Again, as I mentioned above in the article, "wounded" here could easily mean felt hurt
spiritually, and not necessarily got physically hurt. Also, Psalm 91 doesn't mean that
not a scratch will be upon Jesus. GOD Almighty's Protection to Jesus from both harm
and death could easily be referring to serious wounds and not minor ones. But in either
way, "wounded" here could easily refer to a spiritual one, because Jesus was probably
upset because his people were about to be doomed to Hell for Eternity for rejecting his
Message.
Now as to him being cut off from the land of the living, here are what your NIV and YLT
Bibles and many others say:
1- From http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah 53&version=NIV:
8 By oppression [a] and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken. [b]
a. Isaiah 53:8 Or From arrest
b. Isaiah 53:8 Or away. / Yet who of his generation considered / that he was cut off from
the land of the living / for the transgression of my people, / to whom the blow was due?
2- From http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2053&version=YLT:
8By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth
meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of
My people he is plagued,
30. It's talking about Jesus' imprisonment!
It seems quite clear to me that this quotation is referring to Jesus' arrest and him being
imprisoned! He was taken away from the people and put into isolation. That's how I
clearly see it. In fact, the NIV Bible in its (a) foot note above, explicitly says "From
arrest". It is clearly and indisputably speaking about Jesus' arrest, which doesn't really
prove anything.
He wrote:
Verse 9 speaks of his grave and his death
My response:
Verse 9 speaks about the servant being assigned a grave, which is true. Jesus today
has a grave and it is empty. Nothing refutes Islam here. As to "his death" my detailed
refutation to this lie is further down.
He wrote:
Verse 10 speaks about giving his soul as an asham (guilt offering)
My response:
You are sadly a victim of the false interpretations and lies that are given to you. Here is
what the NIV Bible comments:
1- From http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah 53&version=NIV:
10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes [c] his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
c. Isaiah 53:10 Hebrew though you make
The Hebrew doesn't say "the LORD makes". It says "you make"! It is talking about
people and not GOD Almighty.
31. Furthermore, here is what the YLT Bible says:
2- From http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2053&version=YLT:
10And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul
doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed -- he prolongeth days, And the pleasure
of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.
Do you see any crucifixion in here? It's talking about Jesus getting bruised by his
enemies (again minor injuries that are not fatal), and that it caused to get sick. And then
it says that if his soul were to be a guilt offering, which proves that it wasn't make a guilt
offering.
Your point is again soundly refuted!
He wrote:
Verse 12 says he bore his soul unto death
But none of this seems to face you, doesn’t it? And you don’t even realise that you have
shot yourself in the foot. You applied this verse to Yeshua and said that this proves that
he was never killed, but only wounded. Herewith you have undercut everything you
have said in your article regarding Psalm 91. You cant have it both ways. Either Isaiah
53:5 is about Yeshua and he was wounded, according to your reading, or Psalm 91 is
about Yeshua and he was NOT wounded, also according to your reading. So, what will
it be? As far as I’m concerned point 2 is moot!
My response:
He poured his soul unto death means that he overpowered death! He killed death. He
defeated death. Sure, he was saved and lifted by GOD Almighty from the cross. He
was victorious over death.
1- From http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah 53&version=YLT
12Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he
apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with
transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for
transgressors he intercedeth.
Here we see that Jesus faced death. But he never died! Isaiah 53 doesn't claim it at
all, and Psalm 91 clearly declares that Jesus will cry out to GOD Almighty to protect
him from death, and GOD Almighty will save him and honor him!
32. He wrote:
3 - Isaiah 53:7 states that "he did not open his mouth". There are two possible
interpretations and answers to this:
Jesus never literally spoke a single word during the crucifixion trial. This is
obviously wrong because Jesus spoke during his trial with both Pontius Pilot and
the Jews. And we all know Jesus' famous and final cry to GOD Almighty when he
said: "Eloi Eloi lama sabachtani!", which translates: "My GOD my GOD, why have
you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46) So wrong. He did open his mouth.
Jesus did not object to GOD Almighty's Will. This is also wrong, because again,
Jesus cried during the crucifixion "My GOD my GOD why have you forsaken
me?", and he also prayed ENDLESSLYto GOD Almighty on the night of the
crucifixion to not get crucified! (Matthew 16:39, Matthew 26:36-44, Luke 6:12) He
even bowed down his face to Allah Almighty in worship endless times begging
Him for a change in Decision. So yes, Jesus did object.
How about a third: He never objected to his accusers. Which is the exact understanding
that becomes obvious to anyone who has any regard for the context and even for the
verse itself. The verse starts out “He was oppressed”. He was oppressed by whom? His
accusers. It then goes on to say “like a lamb that is led to the slaughter”. He was led to
his execution by whom? His accusers. He didn’t say a word of defence himself before
them. Point 3 is also moot!
My response:
But Jesus in the New Testament did object to the crucifixion. He did beg GOD Almighty
to save him, and according to Psalm 91, GOD Almighty did save him. But either way,
your point here doesn't disprove anything.
As to him being led like a lamb to the slaughter, sure, they wanted to kill him through
crucifixion, but he was never crucified nor killed:
"That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; 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. Nay, Allah raised him up
Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of
the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And
on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them. (The Noble Quran,
4:156-159)"
33. Now compare the Noble Verses to Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be raised and lifted up....".
Notice that Isaiah 52:13 did not say "....he will be RESURRECTED and lifted up...."
Not even once, did the Old Testament predict for the foretold Servant to be raised to
GOD Almighty after death. There absolutely no mention of any sort of resurrection in
the Bible's Old Testament what so ever.
And again, Psalm 91 clearly says that GOD Almighty will protect him and save him
from death, and He will honor him.
He wrote:
4 - Isaiah 53:9 says that he made his grave with the wicked and the rich.
According to http://scripturetext.com/isaiah/53-9.htm:
in his death" is also a false translation to the Hebrew Mawth. At the worst, it
should be translated as "in death", making the word a symbolic one as further
confirmed in the Hebrew lexicon:
in his death
maveth (maw'-veth)
death (natural or violent) [notice not "his death". It only says "death"]; concretely,
the dead, their place or state (hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin -- (be) dead(-
ly), death, die(-d)."
A lot of points here:
FIRST: you look at the definition of the word “mawet” and then highlight the “figurative”
sense in your article. But you don’t even regard all the other definition that your source
put for you to read.
My response:
This is because no where in the entire Old Testament does it say that the Messiah will
actually die! All you have is figurative expressions about him:
1- Facing death, or getting exposed to death.
2- Having a grave assigned to him.
3- And now, "in death" or "in his death" doesn't at all mean that he will die. Here is
what the NIV Bible says:
From http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah 53&version=NIV
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
34. though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him [1] and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes [c] his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
c. Isaiah 53:10 Hebrew though you make
[1]. This note is mine. In the Arabic it says: َعَمَ ذَلَك فَقَ ذ َُ ذمَُ َ ْ ذحَقَه َبَََْ َزَن َِ, which literally
translates as: And despite this, it delighted Allah to crush him with (ample) grieve!
Here is how I read these verses:
1. The servant was assigned a grave to die in despite the fact that he has done no
violence.
2. The servant will have ample grieve in him due to the doom of his people.
Remember! Psalm 91:8 says that he will see the punishment of the wicked
with his eyes!
3. GOD Almighty will cause him to suffer (through fear and bad experience), but will
not let him die because He, the Almighty, Will prolong his life!
Do you see any proof here that the servant will actually die??
Especially in light of Psalm 91?
He wrote:
SECOND: is there a particular reason why you have scratched “his” in the “in his death”
phrase in your article?
My response:
I only quoted what the lexicon said as you also quoted me above. But in either case, I
have proven that the "death" here is definitely symbolic.
35. He wrote:
THIRD: all the lexicon says about death being figuratively is that it can ALSO be
understood to be figuratively. But its foremost meaning is literal death.
My response:
False! Death throughout the Bible is many times symbolic. It is so symbolic that you
can't even know for sure, from your Bible, whether Hell is an actual Fire or a place of
complete death and cease of existence. This confusion is caused primarily by the too
much use of symbolic speeches for death, grave and other key words.
To the reader, please visit: Sheol in the Bible: Hell and Death.
Also, according to the Lexicon, maweth meant "high places" in other Biblical verses:
in his death-Hebrew, "deaths." Lowth translates, "His tomb"; bamoth, from a
different root, meaning "high places," and so mounds for sepulture (Eze 43:7). But
all the versions oppose this, and the Hebrew hardly admits it. Rather translate, "after
His death" [Hengstenberg]; as we say, "at His death." The plural, "deaths," intensifies
the force; as Adam by sin "dying died" (Ge 2:17, Margin); that is, incurred death,
physical and spiritual. So Messiah, His substitute, endured death in both senses;
spiritual, during His temporary abandonment by the Father; physical, when He gave
up the ghost.
because-rather, as the sense demands (so in Job 16:17), "although He had done
no," &c. [Hengstenberg], (1Pe 2:20-22; 1Jo 3:5).
violence-that is, wrong.
Notice that Adam did not literally die. The "death" here is symbolic.
Again, do you see any proof here that the servant will actually die??
Especially in light of Psalm 91?
Please visit:
Evidence from the Greek NT suggesting that "Jesus Barabbas" not "Jesus of
Nazareth" is the one who got crucified!
Jesus Barabbas and Jesus the Nazorean.
36. The early Disciples' writings declare that Jesus never got crucified!
He wrote:
FOURTH: Since you insist that “mawet” has to be figuratively and cannot in any way
shape or form be literally death, can you tell us what the Hebrew word for literal death is
that Isaiah should have used to give us the impression that this is a physical death and
not a mere figurative death?
My response:
I first of all never said that. But to answer your question, it would have to be the same
word but with FAR MORE CLEARER TEXT to back it up! The delimma of your Bible
is that it contains far too many symbolic terms and words that it is virtually impossible
sometimes to know whether it is to be taken literal or symbolically.
Certainly, with all of the points that I mentioned above, I don't see any direct claim
that the servant will actually die!
He wrote:
FIFTH: you then go to translations that aren’t translations at all. The NLT and the CEV
are NOT translations, but paraphrases. You object to the word “mawet” being translated
as “death”, yet you subsequently run to other translations that don’t even translate the
word “mawet” at all!
SIXTH: Even the YLT translates it incorrectly, since the YLT has an improper
understanding of the word at hand. The YLT reads the word “bemotaaw” to understood
as “bamotaaw”. But this reading is untenable, since “bamot” (high places) are places
where idol worship is being practiced. This is NOT what Isaiah is saying about the
servant.
SEVENTH: The word “bemotaaw” DOES mean “in HIS deaths”. The suffix “-aaw” is
third person singular in the masculine form denoting a plurality of possession.
Then you go on to say:
1. Jesus was never buried (Matthew 27:59-66, Matthew 28)! He was temporarily
placed in a tomb and then his body disappeared after that. But he never ONCE
was buried under ground as our dead get buried.
2. Jesus, who was never buried from the first place, was also NEVER BURIED
with the wicked and the rich. His tomb was placed in an isolated area as recorded
in the gospels.
37. The sheer ignorance you display is astounding. And I read someone praising you for
your scholarship earlier in this thread. Burial in ancient days took place in tombs. There
were two burials: stage one was that the body was placed in a tomb to decay so that
only the bones were left and then stage two would follow, where the bones were
collected out of the tomb and piled up in a small coffin and were buried. So, no, Yeshua
was never buried as our dead get buried, because that was never the method that
people got buried.
As for your second point, since the Hebrew in Isaiah 53 is very poetic, the words of
Isaiah are open to interpretation. The words are just as probable to read, that he was
buried between the wicked, referring to those surrounding graves with their dead. It can
also be referring to his burial by Yosef of Arimathea and all those that were with him,
since the servant is described as the Righteous One that suffers for and bares the
iniquities of the unrighteous multitude. In addition, you don’t know that the grave was in
an isolated area since the Gospels don’t give us that information. All the Gospels say is
that the grave was new and unused. You are just making this up in order to be able to
raise objections. And with that said, point 4 is moot!
My response:
Your points above are all refuted above, and you're only left with desperation and
confusion. You're trying to force a certain meaning of a word upon a verse, and this
meaning is not supported at all throughout the chapter! Not only that, but the word
itself, muth or mawth, had been used throughout the Bible to mean different things!
In short, you have absolutely no proof whatsoever about the servant will actually
die! On the contrary, we see that GOD Almighty will prolong (extend, make
longer) his life!
Also, as I demonstrated amply and thoroughly above, both Psalm 91 and Isaiah 53 and
52 and other chapters clearly state that the Messiah will be lifted up and honored
and protected from death and harm.
As to the burial, again, you're forcing a certain meaning without giving any regard to the
other meanings of the same word. Yes, Jesus was never actually burried! He was
placed temporarily in a tomb according to your New Testament, which contradicts
Psalm 91 and Isaiah 52, and ironically also Isaiah 53. But regardless, I don't think this
point is that relevant. Defining what burial is, and whether or not placing Jesus in the
tomb is considered burial is irrelevant here. The main point is whether or not he actually
was crucified and whether or not he actually died.
He wrote:
38. 5 - In Isaiah 53:10-11, GOD Almighty will prolong Jesus' life and Jesus will live to
even see his offspring (his children)! And Christ will see the Light and be
satisfied after the suffering of his soul. The suffering of his soul here is referring
to the overwhelming fear that Jesus had and the countless cries and Prayers that
he made to Allah Almighty to save him. Psalm 91 further speaks clearly on this.
Also, Jesus' life was never made long or extended. He only lived for 33 years, so
we're told in the gospels, and he certainly never married any woman nor had any
child from any woman. Yet, Isaiah 53:10 clearly says that he will live and he will
have and see his children.
Here you go again shooting yourself in the other foot. Psalm 91 says that he will not be
harmed, Isaiah 53 says he will be harmed. WHAT WILL IT BE???? And then, if that
wasn’t embarrassing enough, you go on to make the following mistakes:
1. You were the one that claim others mistranslate verses. Verse 10 doesn’t say that the
servant will see HIS seed (zero) but that he would see seed (zera). It says nothing
about the seed being that of the servant.
2. Just as in other places the word “zera” can be metaphorical and not referring to
physical offspring of the subject. Such as Psalm 22:31 where YHWH is the subject, yet
no one will say that the seed is His. And in Isaiah 57:4 where falsehood is the subject,
yet no one will say that the seed is the physical product of falsehood.
3. If you had any regard for the context of the verse, you would see that the prolonging
of his days is AFTER HE DIED, which clearly points to a resurrection from the dead. So
this isn’t talking about a person that would live “happily ever after” and become old. This
is talking about a person living after he had died.
So I repeat that your objection point 5 is moot!
My response:
Jesus' suffering was through his grieve with maybe some minor bruises, kicks, punches
and slashes, if any! There is no contradiction here. Psalm 91 clearly promises that
Jesus will cry out to GOD Almighty for help, and GOD Almighty WILL send down the
Angels to protect him from death and harm. "Harm" here could mean permanent or
fatal harming that is too damaging.
Also, the "will" here shows that Psalm 91 is about prophecies that will happen and
will be fulfilled. And according to Islam, yes, Jesus was lifted up and saved as I
demonstrated above.
As to Jesus seeing "seed", whether they are his children or not, the point
about prolonging his life remains, and it proves that he will not die at all.
And as to the prolonging his life is after he dies, this is a perfect example of the type of
hog wash and absurdities that Christians invent and call faith and theology. All of your
points had been based upon speculations and ridiculous absurdities. My refutations to
you, on the other hand, are based on solid proofs that prove that Jesus was never
39. prophesied to actually die. It just talked about him facing death, but never actually to
die.
He wrote:
6 - In Isaiah 53:12, we are told that Jesus' life or soul will be poured unto death.
To me, given the Islamic position about Christ never got crucified, and given the
symbolic speech in Isaiah 53 chapter that most of it conflicts with what really
took place with Christ in the gospels, and given the fact that many early writings
in Palestine and elsewhere stated clearly that Jesus never got crucified such as
in the Apocalypse of Peter and other ancient texts, then my interpretation of this
verse about Jesus' life being poured unto death means to me that Jesus' life will
overpower death! This is indisputably proven in Psalm 91 where it states that not
only Jesus will not get crucified, but GOD Almighty will also hear his cries and
will send down the Angels to PROTECT HIM and SAVE HIM. And Psalm 91 also
says that Christ will call upon GOD Almighty and GOD Almighty will HEAR him
and HONOR him. Christ would not have been honored if he have died the
humiliating death of the cross. And certainly, he would not have been "saved"
either by the Angels.
Oh my, where to start:
1. There was no Palestine in the first century, the land was Israel. Palestine was not
invented until well into the second century.
2. The Apocalypse of Peter is NOT an early authentic text, it is a later apocryphal book!
3. When properly understood, Isaiah 53 ONLY makes sense when applied to the
description of the Messiah in the Gospels
4. You erroneously start with the a-chronological position that is the lens of the Quran
and then look at what the text of Scripture allows for. It never even occurs to you that
the Quran is a false book to begin with and that you have to look at how IT relates to the
previous revelations and NOT the other way around.
5. Your understanding of the servant overpowering death is a correct one. But not as
you put it. The chapter speaks of the rejection of the servant, his suffering, his death
and his resurrection, which is how he conquers death! But you don’t allow that clear
reading because of your illogical position that you have to look at what the Quran allows
for and adjust the reading of the text of Isaiah to that.
6. You still haven’t shown us why we should even entertain the thought that Psalm 91 is
specifically about Yeshua or even generally Messianic at all. I have challenged you
about that reading to prove your point. You haven’t done so to this day. If Psalm is really
“indisputably” about the Messiah, please provide the evidence to stop this despute.
7. You wrote: “Christ would not have been honored if he have died the humiliating death
of the cross. And certainly, he would not have been "saved" either by the Angels”.
Which is exactly why your reading is flawed. You, again, start with the illogical position
that your reading of Psalm 91 is correct (without ANYTHING that remotely looks like
evidence that it is), and then judge the Gospels’ claims about the Messiah based on
your flawed understanding of ONE unambiguously non-Messianic Psalm.
8. As for Christ not being honoured if he died. What greater honour is there to be falsely
40. accused of wrongdoing, then put to death by your accusers and then completely
vindicated by God through resurrection and exaltation above the heavens? If you have
an answer to that, I’m eager to see it.
9. You completely miss the purpose for all this suffering of the servant. The verse says:
“because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet
he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors”. Question:
What did he intercede for? How did he bare the sins of many? WHY did he bare the
sins of many? Who were the “many” and the transgressors? How did he intercede for
the transgressors? This verse sums it all up perfectly: Through the suffering and the
death of the Righteous Servant, the sins of many transgressors will be interceded for.
But, of course, you will not allow for this clear reading, because the Quran doesn’t allow
you to go there.
Your point 6 is moot!
My response:
1- The Philistines, and the people of Palestine, existed long before Moses and his
followers ever migrated to Palestine. But this is a seperate topic altogether and is
irrelevant to us here.
2- I've already proven in the article that the Apocalypse of Peter existed and was very
popular among early Christians.
3- That's just your opinion and biase.
4- Another blasphemous and worthless opinion from you.
5- "Your understanding of the servant overpowering death is a correct one. But not as
you put it." Thank you for openly admitting that my interpretation is correct and is quite
possible! I already demonstrated why my interpretation is the right one above. But
thank you for demonstrating how confusing and ridiculous your Bible's use of the words.
6 through 9- I already covered all of this in the article above. But in regards to Jesus
interceding for the transgressors, it could be as little as a simple request or prayer for
them. Did not Jesus, in the New Testament, pray to GOD Almighty and say: "Father
forgive them for they know not"?
As to Jesus bearing the sins of many, it is referring to him being burdened by the sins
and the wickedness of his people. This is why the second half of the sentence
says "and he made intercession for the wicked," because he loved them so much that
he wanted to seek a second chance for them with GOD Almighty. He carried their sins
for them before GOD Almighty to seek intercession for them. This is what the verse is
exactly saying.
41. Remember that Jesus was sentenced to death! This is why we see references to
death and life in Isaiah 53.
But the main point is that YOU CAN NOT establish that he actually died!
Please visit:
Evidence from the Greek NT suggesting that "Jesus Barabbas" not "Jesus of
Nazareth" is the one who got crucified!
Jesus Barabbas and Jesus the Nazorean.
The early Disciples' writings declare that Jesus never got crucified!
He wrote:
It then seems to me that Muslims will turn facts into fables to keep the truth claims of the
Quran alive. And they will subsequently turn fables into facts to keep the Quran from
being falsified.
Conclusion: Osama, your article on Isaiah 53 is grossly erroneous, contradictory,
disordered, incoherent, childishly written, poorly edited and a scholarly disaster. In other
words, all that work was a total waste of time. It didn’t take any effort from my part to
dismantle your silly accusations of mistranslations. Take it off and give it another go.
Nakdimon
My response:
I invite you and the reader to visit: The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles of the
Noble Quran to see how our Holy Book is indeed a Divine and True Miracle from GOD
Almighty, and is His True and Living Word. You are terrified from Psalm 91 and the
interpretations that I gave above about Isaiah 53. Isaiah 52 also says clearly that he will
be raised and lifted. You know well that if we establish that Psalm 91 is about Jesus
Christ, then this will be the end of Christianity! As I mentioned above:
In the New Testament, Psalm 91 is directly linked to Jesus Christ, in the New
Testament, by Jesus Christ himself, while Isaiah 53 isn't linked to Jesus by anyone.
Psalm 91 said many Prophecies, and they are listed above in this article. Satan, in the
New Testament, even tried to use Psalm 91 to tempt Jesus into testing GOD Almighty
to try to kill himself by throwing himself off of the canyon or mountain to see if GOD
Almighty will be True to His Word and Promise and send down the Angels to lift
Jesus up from death and harm as precisely mentioned in Psalm 91. Psalm 91 further
42. declares that Christ will call upon GOD Almighty for help to protect him from death, and
GOD Almighty willhonor him and protect him from death.
By the way, Psalm 91 says that GOD Almighty will not even let Jesus strike his foot
against a rock from harm. This is a symbolic speech that means that GOD Almighty will
not let Jesus get hurt at all. Satan tried to fool Jesus by trying to have Jesus test GOD
Almighty or force GOD Almighty into executing this Promise by trying to jump off the
mountain to see if GOD Almighty will truly send down the Angels to lift Jesus up or not.
Now certainly, the Prophecy wasn't speaking about Jesus jumping off of a mountain. It
was again a symbolic speech that meant that GOD Almighty will protect Jesus from
death all the way.
Was Psalm 91 for a limited time only?
Some argued that Psalm 91 could've been only till the time before crucifixion, and that
after that, it no longer applies. This is false and is refuted in Psalm 91 itself once again,
because Psalm 91 says clearly that the servant will call upon GOD Almighty in trouble,
and GOD Almighty will save him from death! GOD Almighty will honor him and protect
him, and will not allow for ANY HARM to come near him. The only time Jesus called
upon GOD Almighty to save his life, in the New Testament, was during the time of
crucifixion.
Again, Isaiah 53 is no where linked to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. It is Psalm
91 that is clearly linked. Not only that, but Isaiah 53 has deliberate mistranslations and
misinterpretations in it as I demonstrated above.
(b)- Rebuttal from the New Testament:
Many Christians have already attempted to directly refute this article by presenting
several verses from the Bible's New Testament that say that Jesus:
1. Was crucified.
2. Died on the cross for our sins.
3. Was raised from the dead.
My response:
My simple answer to them is that they have missed the entire point of this article. If one
could prove with ample and indisputable proofs, from the Bible's Old Testament, that
GOD Almighty regarding the foretold Messiah:
43. 1. Will hear his cries (Psalm 91:15) and will save him (Psalm 91:3).
2. He will cover him with His Protection (Psalm 91:4).
3. Christ will then not have any fear in him (Psalm 91:5).
4. Christ will then observe with his own eyes the punishment of the crucified
ones (Psalm 91:8).
5. No harm (this includes crucifixion!) or disaster will even come near
Christ (Psalm 91:10....this even contradicts him getting beaten up before
crucifixion).
6. GOD Almighty will send down the Angels to protect him and lift him (Psalm
91:11-12, 14, Isaiah 52:13). Not even his foot will strike the ground from his
enemies pushing, grappling and punishment.
7. Christ's call will be HEARD, and he will be delivered and honored (Psalm
91:15, Isaiah 52:13). No way would these verses be valid if Christ got
crucified.
8. His life will be prolonged (extended) and he will live to even see his
offspring (Isaiah 53:10 and Psalm 91:16, which by the way contradict Jesus
never got married and had children. In Islam's Noble Quran's 13:38, however, it
is quite possible that Jesus Christ had wives and children).
9. His life will overpower death (Isaiah 53:12).
10."Death" in Isaiah 53:9 is proven to be symbolic using the Hebrew Lexicon and
several English translations, and it never meant a literal death.
then one is clearly left with overwhelming proofs that prove that most of the New
Testament is false, especially when we know that the Bible's own theologians
admit that its books and gospels had all been:
1. Written by mysterious men.
2. Written by an unknown number of men.
3. Written in unknown places.
4. Written in unknown dates.
5. Paul never even met Jesus Christ in person while the latter was on earth. It is
falsely claimed that Jesus appeared to Paul while Paul was on his way to
Damascus after the "crucifixion" (Acts 9:2-4. Note: Paul's name used to be
Saul. Yet, Paul admittedly wasn't even sure whether the Holy Spirit was
inspirning him or not).
6. None of the disciples, even in the false writings attributed to them, ever claimed
that their writings were inspired or Divine. Not only that, but we even ironically
44. see that:
o Luke for instance, wrote his "gospel" for the sake of another person and
not GOD Almighty. See below for details.
o The disciples even fought with each others [1] [2].
o We read about direct invitations to dinner and other occasions between
the disciples in the "books" [1].
o According to the commentaries below, all of the books of the bible were
altered and corrupted.
The Bible's own theologians even admit that the bible contains
"fictions", its original manuscripts "had been lost", and contains
"fairy tails and fables".
And, it is also an indisputable fact that the Bible:
1. Is filled with ample contradictions, man's alterations, corruption, and false
scientific absurdities.
2. Is written in third-party narrations, which is why we find in all of the gospels'
titles "This gospel according to....", and countless verses that speak about the
disciples and about their activities in third-party narrations [1] [2] [3] [4], which
proves that the books and gospels were certainly not written by them.
o This also means that much gossips and exaggerations and fabrications
were made up and inserted into the books and gospels. So even if some
people back then thought that Jesus was crucified, they in reality never
actually saw it. It could very well be that they've only heard about it from a
neighboring town and believed it. There are certainly in the books and
gospels:
Too much gossips.
Too wide of date gaps by the decades [1] [2] [3] [4] between when
the supposed event took place and when it was actually written, by
hand, in the corrupt gospels.
Too many unknown people wrote the stories.
Too many Prophecies in the Old Testament that promise that Jesus
Christ, the Messiah, will be saved from the crucifixion.
Too many mistranslations and desperate misinterpretations in
Isaiah 53 and elsewhere.
o This also means that the books and gospels were definitely not inspired by
GOD Almighty. Paul even admits that he had his delusions and
doubts.
45. So now based on what objective grounds should we reject the claim about the Bible's
New Testament's accounts being mostly false and fabricated by men? And again, as I
mentioned in the conclusion section, I strongly recommend visiting the following links:
1. The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran.
2. What is Islam?
3. The blessed Jesus in Islam.
4. Answering Trinity.
5. Allah is GOD Almighty's Holy Name in the Bible's original Manuscripts that were
discovered - centuries before Islam.
I also want to end this rebuttal with the following verses from the Holy Quran, and the
Bible's Old and New Testaments:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor
is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV Bible,
Deuteronomy 6:4)"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our
God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God
alone." (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his
mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (From the NIV
Bible, Numbers 23:19)"
Indeed, Jesus Christ, the man, is only a Messenger from Allah Almighty, and he was
never crucified. May Allah Almighty enable you to see the Light and the Truth of Islam.
And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our beloved and
blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.
