[ to be exact there are 3 different empty graves all alleged to be the resting plave of YOUR saviour mr rObeRt - I guess all three apparitions of him were supposed to have ressurrected as well ] and a huge washout of a story written by people who were neither eye witnesses to the alleged ressurection [remember the forsook him and fled thing ]

documenting only post crucifiction and pre crucifiction accounts -

sooooo in that case we can safely deduce that there really are smoking caterpillars and wide grinning cheshire cats in the moon because of documented evidence that a girl named Alice did follow a rabbit into a little hole and have tea with a mad hatter only to risk getting decapitated by a fleeting barrage of playing cards AS WELL as the avilability of rabbit holes around!

Missionary: Does the Koran say that Jesus was sinless?
Muslim: Yes. Jesus was perfect man. Never sinned.
Missionary: Does the Koran tell Mohammad to repent?
Muslim: Yes. Quran tells Mohammad to repent.

That’s all. The missionary doesn’t say anything else. He hopes now that the Muslim would start thinking: “Now, wait a minute, Jesus never sinned, but Mohammad was supposed to repent. Maybe Jesus is better!”

Missionary wants the Muslim to start thinking that a sinless man is better than a “repentant sinner”. Missionary is hoping, but he dare not say it. Because if the Missionary says that, he goes exactly against the teachings of Jesus.

If the Missionary is foolish enough to say that a sinless man is better than a repentant sinner, he’s going against the teachings of Jesus.

The reason why the Missionary is going against the teachings of Jesus is this: Story of a lost sheep. Mathew Chapter 18, verse 12: Jesus said, “If a man has a 100 sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the 99 on the hills, and go on the search of the one that went astray. And if he finds it, truely I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the 99 that never went astray.”

Jesus was trying to hammer that point home to his disciples: Don’t you dare say, for example, because you’ve been a faithful follower for many years that you’re better than this one who just became a believer just yesterday. The perfect man has no precedence over the repentant sinner.

Moments later….

Missionary: Was Jesus the Messiah ?
Muslim: Yes.

Missionary: Was Mohammad the Messiah?
Muslim: No

Now, the Missionary stops there, and hopes that the Muslim would start thinking, “Now, wait a minute, Jesus is the Messiah, and Mohammad is not the Messiah. Maybe Jesus is better!”

What the Muslim should ask the Missionary is about this word Messiah: Jesus was the Messiah, but were there any other Messiahs besides Jesus?

Now you find out how well he knows his Bible. Because there were many Messiahs: David, Solomon, and even Cyrus, the Persian were called Messiahs in the Bible. It’s hard to find it in the Bible because the translators cover it over. Messiah means “annointed”.

A Messiah is someone who has been picked to do a job. Every king of ancient Israel was called Messiah. Now the word doesn’t sound so special anymore. It is a title, but it doesn’t particularly elevate one to divine status.

Moments later….

Missionary: Where’s the body of Jesus ?
Muslim: God took it.

Missionary: Where’s the body of Mohammad?
Muslim: Its in Medina. It’s burried in the ground.

Now the Missionary hopes that the Muslim would go away thinking, “Now that’s interesting! The body of Jesus is gone; Mohammad is in the grave. Maybe Jesus is the true Messenger, Mohammad is false!”

The Missionary is hoping the thought would cross the Muslim’s mind, but he dare not say it.

What the Muslim should ask the Missionary is this: “Do you mean that a dead and buried Prophet is a false prophet? Is that what you mean?”

If that is so, what does Missionary say about Abraham, for example?

Abraham is buried. Jews and Muslims to this day, still go to the place where Abraham is buried, to visit his grave.

Is Abraham a false prophet because he’s dead and buried in the ground? The Bible also states body of Moses was taken up by God. God sent an angel to take the body away. Does this mean Jesus and Moses are equal in their “divine status”? What has the Missionary’s question proven?

Plus, according to scholars such as Crossan, Jesus’ body was eaten up by the dogs and he was not burried in the tomb. According to many others, the empty tomb story is a later development and we in fact do not know what was done to Jesus’ body.

As a Muslim of course, I believe he was not killed on the cross in the first place but saved by God :)

Why isn’t it possible that the deciples stole the body of your saviour?Only according to matthew the tomb was guarded.no one else knws anything of a guard, anand their stories strongly suggest none was there.and the guard was not placed until a DAY LATER–the THEFT could already have taken place by then, especially if another body was wrapped in its place, or the tomb was a multiple -niche tomb complex , as it must have been by law for the burial of crimminals.

hmmmmm………. maybe no one was there in the very first place?

if you will insist that prophet jesus was placed there, prove the reliability of your corrupt bible first.

oh, and by the way, which bible do you use when you use when you testify to prophet jesus christ’s alleged death and resurrection? can you please tell me why you trust that particular bible version?

by the way, according to your apostle paul’s teachings, prophet jesus had to die first before he can intercede for our sins in the presence of God. funny thing, the Beloved Prophet Muhammad was taken to heaven WHILE HE WAS STILL ALIVE. and he was brought back to earth. i was just wondering why the christ had to die before he can enter God’s presence, while Prophets Muhammad, Elijah and Enoch were allowed to step into heaven without dying?

is God a cruel God to Jesus?
