Final conclusions

From the above evidence, it should be seen that there is no credible historical evidence that Jesus did not die on the cross, but that instead, the evidence clearly supports that He did die and rose from the dead as He and the prior scriptures predicted. The Islamic objections do not provide any historical evidence for believing someone else was crucified, or sufficient theological reasons for rejecting it. Even if theological reasons or other kinds of opinion are used to reject the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, they must be maintained as personal opinion, not as historical fact, and they can only be held in the face of the prevailing historical evidence that Jesus did die on the cross.

I would urge any Muslim rejecting the crucifixion of Jesus to please consider the evidence, and base their conviction on firm evidence, not unsupported assertions, for their eternal salvation.

Everyone is responsible for themselves to seek the truth. Our eternal destinies depends on it. Please consider these matters and do not shut your hearts and minds to consider what has been presented. Please give these issues a fair hearing and then make your decision.
