1- Ample Prophesies in the Old Testament about the Messiah getting 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)
(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:
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.
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.
For more on this please visit:
Psalm 91 clearly states that Jesus Christ will never get crucified.
Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified.
Jesus in Hebrews 5:7-8 cried out to GOD Almighty to be saved and "he was heard".

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:
Given all of this, let us now look at the Chapter of Isaiah 53 in the Bible:
(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....."
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.

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:
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.
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)"
"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?
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:
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:
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 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:

[1] [2] This piece is very minor in the chapter, because the chapter is more focused on:
(Pay attention to the red text below, especially in Psalm 91:11-12, 15 and the others) Psalm 911 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.
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. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Footnotes:
There is no question! There is no question that the emphasized parts above, especially in Psalm 91:11-12, 15 and others, clearly and indisputably agree with the Noble Quran and Isaiah 52:13! Jesus was neither crucified nor resurrected, and he was protected and lifted by GOD Almighty. Also, the New Testament, again, confirms that Psalm 91 is referring to Jesus Christ. |

Psalm 146:8

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 healed thousands (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:
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: There are also two errors in the fulfillment of this Prophecy:
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 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. |
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
piercedwounded (KJV) for our transgressions, he wascrushedbruised (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 word is symbolic one as further confirmed in the Hebrew lexicon: |
- 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 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....."
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.

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 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 about Jesus never got crucified! See below... Also, please visit: Chapter Psalm 91 clearly and indisputably confirms that Jesus never got crucified! Psalm 116, 117 and 118 indesputably prove that Jesus Christ never got crucified. Psalm 22 and 88 confirm Islam's claim about Jesus never got crucified. 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. |
- 37
- and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."
- 38
- 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
- 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.
- 40
- Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.
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.
Let us look at the obvious contradiction in the above verses:
"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:
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:
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 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.

Unquestionably imagine that that you stated.
Your favourite justification appeared to be at the web the simplest factor
to have in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst people consider issues that they just do not recognize about.
You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people could take a signal.
Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
