impending judgment?

Did Jesus die on the cross?
The Qur'an contradicts the
Bible when it says Jesus did not die on the cross,
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. (An-Nisa 4.157)
The death of Jesus is one of
the best attested facts of the Bible and ancient history. Jesus told His followers
that He would die on the cross,
From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go
to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief
priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third
day be raised to life. (Matthew 16:21)
God makes Himself known His word and in His works; God works in history. Denying God’s work in history is a denial of God. It is not rational to deny history and it is godless to deny God’s Work in history.
If you prove that Jesus did
not die on the cross then you disprove Christianity. On the other hand, if
Jesus was crucified then isn't the Qur'an wrong? Why believe the Qur'an when
it contradicts what God had revealed before Muhammad?

The Medical
Evidence: Was Jesus’ Death a Sham?
The philosopher
John Leslie said, "Suppose you are condemned to die
before a firing squad of 10 expert marksmen. You are blindfolded, tied to a
stake, and the command "fire" is pronounced. The shots are fired
and to your amazement, you find that you have survived without even a
scratch.
What do you do? Do you just shrug your shoulders and walk away saying,
"Wow, that was a close one?!"
"Of course, you wouldn't be able to say anything had you not survived,
but the fact that you survived is so remarkable that it calls for an
explanation." Likewise, the glory of the heavens and the earth and
your place in them surely calls for an explanation.

Hindu
Jesus came to
touch the untouchables and cleansed those who trust in Him from the disease
of their sin.
When Jesus
came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him.
A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you
are willing, you can make me clean.”
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,”
he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. (Matthew
8:1-3)
Just then a
woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus
and touched the edge of his cloak.
She said to herself, “If I only touch his
cloak, I will be healed.”
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said,
“your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that
moment. (Matthew 9:20-22)
If you are a Hindu man or woman,
please know that a greater hope exists. There is a personal God, who
cares for you and desires to lift the burden of your suffering. He
knows how many hairs you have on your head and He controls every atom in the universe.
Joy beyond description awaits you in this life if you trust in Jesus for the
forgiveness of your sins and commit your life to obeying His Word.
Sankara (788-820)
said that “This entire world in which good and
evil actions are done, etc., is a mere illusion…and does in reality not
exist at all.” If this is the
case, then why isn’t the caste system a mere illusion?

replied, “Mother, what is truth?” (Dallas Willard)

Don't know what I am but would like to
learn more about Christianity
There are thousands of websites that explore Christianity,
some better than others. I would personally recommend that you read The Gospel of John and as you read it
ask the following question, “Who is Jesus?” If you
live near Christ Church or happen to be in the area, I would be happy to meet
with you over a cup of coffee or tea. Call me at 315-734-0568 or email me.
