The quran says in Surah Al Nisa Ch.4 V.157 they killed him not neither did they crucify him because it was only made to appear so. So quran is clear. If you read the bible, it's mentioned in the bible in the Gospel of Mathew Ch.12 V.38, when people come to Jesus and tell him that "O master show us some signs. So Jesus replies "only evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, no sign shall be shown to you except the sign of Jonah as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish so shall the son of man three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Almighty god tells Jonah that go to Nineveh. Jonah being a prophet of god he says the people of Nineveh they will not understand, they will not listen to me. He goes to Jopah. So while he is going in the boat to Jopah there's a storm that comes into the sea. This is mentioned in the book of Jonah. At that time there was a superstition that the storm in the sea is due to some person not obeying the commandment of the master. So Jonah being a prophet of god he volunteers " I'm the one who is disobeying the master and at the time due to the superstition if you throw the person into the water, water will become calm. So Jonah volunteers. I'm disobeying my master so throw me over board.
I'm asking the question, when Jonah was thrown over board into the sea, was he dead or alive?
"Alive"
When a person is thrown in the sea where there is a storm the person ought to die. Was Jonah dead or alive when he was thrown into the sea?
"He was alive"
If he dies, no miracle. At a storm a normal person dies. He's alive its a miracle. A fish comes and swallows him up. When the fish swallowed him up, was Jonah dead or alive?
"Alive"
Three days and three nights the fish takes him around the sea in the belly of the fish. For three days and three nights Jonah prays to almighty god.
While he was in the belly of the fish, was Jonah dead or alive?
"Alive"
The fish vomits him out. Jonah comes onto the shore. Was he dead or alive?
"Alive"
Alive! Alive! Alive! Alive!
Miracle of a miracle of a miracle of a miracle.
I'm asking you the question, when jesus according to the bible was taken down from the cross he was put in the grave. In the grave, was Jesus dead or alive? If he is dead, does he fulfill the sign or not?
Jesus said no sign shall be given to you except the sign of Jonah for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish, so shall the son of man three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. If Jonah was alive, for Jesus to fulfill the prophecy, he should be dead or alive?
He should be alive and he was alive. So why do you say he was dead? Are you trying to say that Jesus lied? What has been told to you by the church is awrong. Do you believe in the church or do you believe in Jesus?
