The Messiah Isa (Jesus) Son of Mariam [PBUT]
Bismillaah ir Rahmaan ir Rahiim. As salaamu 'alaikum
Messiah, Isa Son of Mariam [PBUT]
Allaah, All Praise Be To HIM, clearly states in HIS, Holy Book Of Wisdom, AL-Qur'aan, that the Messiah ["Anointed" of Allaah, SWT], Prophet Isa, son of Mariam [PBUT] was neither killed nor crucified, but was raised to HIM, and cleared of those that oppose / reject faith [4:156-158, 3:55]. There is disagreement in some religious circles regarding whether He, was raised to Allaah, The All Knowing, before the crucifixion or after; but this is an invalid [logically inconsequential], point, as it was not He [Isa, Son Of Mariam, PBUT] that was executed.
He, Christ, PBUH was not in the least, attached to this world and He, was prepared and could leave it at will when His, time came. One attached to his many possessions, and loving the life of the world, would not be able to do such. Partaking of this world to the exclusion of the hereafter [next worlds life], leads to DEATH, Spiritually and physically [Hence, the fallacy of "God so loved the world"].
The Prophet Isa PBUH, showed His, Love for Allaah, The Righteous, by becoming a worthy and accepted candidate for the eventual "Anointing" by Allaah, The Honorer, to "BE" The Messiah / Christ. This in fact is the entire purpose / point of the "crucifixion" [which takes place in the skull / brain]. Therefore, note the place of Christ's crucifixion at: "golgotha" "calvary" = "Skull." The Bible's story of the crucifixion, is but an allegorical depiction of the "Spiritual regeneration" of The Prophet Isa, PBUH, et al, PBUT. [See "The Magical Message According To Ioannes" Commonly called 'The Gospel According To John' by author James Morgan Pryse; page 200, f.n. #1]
[It is generally supposed that another was crucified in His place, but that "other one" is not [has not been] named as the reason is obvious]. AL-Qur'aan, states that those who say that the Prophet Isa, was killed and / or crucified do nothing but conjecture: [to infer from defective or inconclusive evidence; guess], they follow no certain knowledge. It appears to me that what Allaah, SWT, All Glory Be To HIM, is saying in HIS, Holy Book Of Wisdom, AL-Qur'aan, is that those who believe in and follow the talmudic account of one (Rabbi)Yeshua (jesus) Ben Pandera, who was killed(?) (stoned) and crucified [hung on a cross / tree (?)], and wish to believe that they actually, killed and crucified the Messiah [Christ] Isa, Son of Mariam [PBUT] have no supporting evidence, for their claim.
Whether or not Ben Pandera was only "stunned" because of the stoning, is not mentioned (recorded), but he may have been hanged upon a cross for another reason: "He who is hanged, is accursed of God." ( deut. 21:23 ).
The facts are that Yeshua Ben Pandera, was executed almost a century [120-87? BC] before the advent of The Christ Isa, Son of Mariam [PBUT]. [see: "The Historical Jesus and Mythical Christ" pgs.190-192, by Gerald Massey, or see link below].
Additionally, the Jews of that day did not know who it was they had executed, and present only guesswork, as they relate that he was a false 'messiah' who misled the people. Yeshua Ben Pandera, was accused of practising sorcery / magic, and apostasy; concerning enticing Israel, regarding their (Judaic) religion. Ben Pandera, is said to have taught heresy: (practise, contrary to accepted belief, standard) and also worshipped an idol (a brickbat), or that he built a brick altar, and worshipped it.
Nothing much has changed in religious circles regarding those that believe in the mischieveous, blood sacrifice of the Prophet Isa, PBUH as a redeeming factor. They base their redemption on the "supposed" brutal killing of Allaah's, All Praise Is Due To HIM, Alone; Christ ["Anointed"], Jesus, PBUH even though Almighty GOD, {Allaah, SWT} states that it is not the blood of a sacrifice, that reaches HIM, but it is Your "Piety" worship, devotion that reaches HIM. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. There is a double penalty, for believing in false doctrine and, teaching false doctrine to someone else.
The followers, of the Prophet Isa, PBUH are superior, to those that oppose / reject faith, until the Day Of Judgement. But Jesus' Christian, followers do not [to the best of my understanding] practise the purifying and, consciousness raising teachings found in "The Revelation Of [ST.] John The Divine" and the fourth, gospel, "The Gospel According To [ST.] John." Nor, do they follow the teachings of Guidance and Admonition which is found in, The Holy Qur'aan, of The Almighty ONE GOD, Supreme {Allaah, The True}. They along with adherents of other beliefs, also reject certain of The Prophets [PBUT] of THE ONE GOD, The High Exalted.
This type of inharmonious, irreverent behavior, is preventing the Spiritual progress of the billion's of planet earth's inhabitants. Meanwhile, the Satan is not asleep regarding this situation, and is taking full advantage of the opportunity to further enslave the seemingly willing, people's of the earth. One would think that a [?] deal has been made / in the offing, with the Satan. Spiritual development, it seems / appears, has slowed to approximate a halt, concerning the masses. The status of this problem requires the immediate attention of its Spiritual guides / leaders, and all others concerned about the morally reprobate degeneracy, that has taken the nations of the world by storm. Clear thinking should ensue. The bickering amongst religions needs to be stopped, dead in its track. Deft minds, knowledgeable of the criterion of Truth; as taught of THE ONE GOD {ALLAAH, SWT, All Glory Be To HIM} should meet to form the line of demarcation relative to Spiritual regeneration. This needs be done without delay or else its like [opportunity] may not come again in our lifetimes. Salaam. EssentiallyIslam
PBUT=May the Peace and Blessings of The Most Exalted GOD, be upon them. PBUH=May the Peace and Blessings of the Almighty GOD, be upon Him.
