Refuting Christian’s who claim the Quran actually teachers Jesus died on the Cross?
There are two responses to this;
Muslim- Response 1:
Muslim – Response 2:
I find it amusing that certain Christians are trying to dispute that the Quran does not claim clearly that Jesus was not Cruicified, nor does it say He was not killed on the Cross.
This is going to be so simple. All We have to do is go read what the Anti-Muslim (Answering-Islam) have posted.
They write:
The vast majority of Muslims reject the Crucifixion of Christ because their Quran rejects this historical event. In the Quran we read:
And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain. (Quran 4:157, Pickthall)
It is quite clear that this religion teaches its followers that Jesus’ crucifixion was just an act of deception on the part of Allah. The Quran teaches that Allah deceived everyone to think Jesus was crucified but that it didn’t actually happen historically speaking. This claim is very problematic and it flies in the face of 1st and 2nd century historical data. For this reason the supposed hero of Islam, Bart Ehrman rejects Islam’s position that Jesus wasn’t crucified and he has openly stated that he believes Jesus was crucified according to the available data. In his work ‘The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings,’ he states:
In any event, Tacitus’s report confirms what we know from other sources, that Jesus was executed by order of the Roman governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate.2
So it seems that the hero for Islam agrees with the Christians about Jesus being crucified. This is valuable information and is very useful to bring up to anyone who touts Ehrman as the hero of Islam.

So I find it amusing really, here we have Christians trying to suggest the Quran does not teach that Jesus died on the Cross. Yet we have (Answering-Islam) showing how Bart ehrman disagrees with Islam for teaching Jesus was not cruicified. And that the Islamic records are false for not agreeing to 1st and 2nd century history, which teachers Jesus as Cruicified. So these other silly missionaries who claim the Quran does not deny Jesus not being cruicified, need to now go and argue with Sam Shamoun the owner of Answering-Islam, who clearly claims that the Quran dismisses the Death of Jesus by Crucifixion. And so they say, even Bart Erhman dismisses the Qur’anic narrative.
Ouch, nice try Christians.
