The bible's explains that jesus' crucifixion (no t but close enough atif) was him dying for the sins of man...it basicly says that the cross was symbolic of God's justice for sin. It says that when man sins that they sin against God and without Jesus dying for our sins all sinners would have to pay for their sins in hell. The bible also says that Jesus' soul or spirit was taken by God but in the bible it occurs after he crys out to God and takes his last breath.


Atif - Does the Quran mention anything about jesus rising from the dead 3 days later or just that he will be back to finish his life on earth?? Just curious, I've never really read much into it.
chuck - It doesnt say that he rose from the dead, but it does say he will be back to complete the life that he was supposed to have finished. but when he does come back it will be when the world full of sin..
