Muslim A: Did Jesus die on the cross?

Jesus died on the cross

Jesus died on the Roman cross which is denied by religious folk outside Israel such as Muslims and their Koran. Yet their Quran tells them to believe the Bible. 

Three ancient cultures tell us that Jesus was executed by Pontius Pilate. The Romans, the Greeks, and the Jews all beginning in the first century and that’s not even using the evidence we find in the Bible which is God’s word.

Then Pilate set Barabbas free for them; and after he had Jesus whipped, he handed him over to be crucified. (Matthew 27:26).
When they came to the place called “The Skull,” they crucified Jesus there, and the two criminals, one on his right and the other on his left. (Luke 23:33).
When the army officer and the soldiers with him who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and everything else that happened, they were terrified and said, “He really was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54).
“It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:30).
For Christ died for sins once and for all, a good man on behalf of sinners, in order to lead you to God. He was put to death physically, but made alive spiritually (1 Peter 3:18).

1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve

The historians from atheists to Christians say:
The vast majority of scholars that teach ancient history will tell you:

"Jesus died on the Roman cross and it’s indisputable history." Bart Erhman (atheistic New Testament scholar)

Scholar Luke Timothy Johnson: "Jesus faced a trial before his death, was condemned and executed by crucifixion”

Atheist historian Gerd Ludemann affirms that: “Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable.”

Liberal historian John Dominic Crossan says he takes it “absolutely for granted that Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate”

Jewish scholar Paula Frederickson says that “the crucifixion is the single strongest fact we have about Jesus”

Even the radical and anti-supernatural Jesus Seminar claims that the (crucifixion is) “one indisputable fact”.

Finally, scholar Marcus Borg articulates for us:

“Some judgments are so probable as to be certain; for example, Jesus really existed, and he really was crucified, just as Julius Caesar really existed and was assassinated. …. We can in fact know as much about Jesus as we can about any figure in the ancient world”

Roman and Greek and Rabbi historians will tell you it’s indisputable that Jesus was crucified and died on the Roman cross by Pontius Pilate.

The Bible doesn’t make statements that can’t be corroborated by evidence & history.

Muslim traditions teach the Judas died and not Jesus on the Roman cross. Now that’s not history. It is a straight up lie, to decieve muslims. 

If Jesus was "not the promised Messiah", you can be sure we wouldn’t be Muslims because that’s not true history, we know Jesus died on the Roman cross, and the NT & the Bible is a trustworthy testimony of truth.
