Every Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian historian wrote that our Messiah was indeed crucified. If one doesn’t want to take a religious view on this topic one could look up Greek and Roman history books and see when it happened. Islam states that it never happened.From the Qur’an: Sura 4:157 And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger …of Allah .” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.Facts: The Qur’an was written by the prophet Muhammed around 600 A.D. Supposedly the angel Gabriel came down to Muhammed and receited it to him over a 23 year period. In respect to “age” it is a fairly new document. “Always Learning” Biblical Truth. Islam follows their promise through Abraham’s son Ishmael and we follow our promise through Abraham’s son Isaac. Ishmael was conceived without the approval of God. Isaac was conceived with the approval of Yahweh (God). When Yahweh (God) promised Abraham a son with his wife Sarah, they became impatient because Sarah new she was barren and couldn’t have children. Instead of waiting for the promised child they decided to have a child with their Hand Maiden Hagar and produced Ishmael. Eventually Yahweh (God) gave Abraham the promised son and instructed them to name him Isaac (Laughter in Hebrew) because Sarah overheard the conversation between Yahweh (God) and Abraham and laughed when Yahweh (God) told Abraham she would have a child. This caused animosity when Sarah witnessed Ishmael laughing at Isaac. Yahweh (God) stepped in and made Hagar leave but promised her son Ishmael many descendants.
God Protects Hagar and Ishmael
Genesis 21:8 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing. 10 So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.” 11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. 12 But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named. 13 And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring.” 14 So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
One thing to note. Notice that Yahweh (God) told Abraham to listen to his wife. Fast forward to the New Testament where husbands are instructed to love their wife as much as Yeshua (Jesus) loved the assembly. Abraham gave up his first son because Sarah demanded and Yahweh (God) confirmed.
