text: was jesus crucified? as a muslim,i do not intend to insult anyone beliefs, yet i need for the purpose of questioning to raise the above question knowing that 1- islam admits that jesus is a prophet. 2-islam admits that bible is holybook that jesus delivered. 3-islam admits that jesus is born differently. 4-islam admits that mary is the choosen woman and that god favored her on all women and it has a chapter in quran in her name.  so islam is really did not deny any of these facts, yet clearly stated are -jesus was not crucified. -there is a crucification event, yet people saw similar to jesus.  if this is not true, why quran/islam deny that..what would be the benefit it gets or that value added to it.  can you answer -wisely-only please jesus was crucified so that we can go to heave. this was the only way for man's sins to be covered.   "but these are written, that ye might believe that jesus is the christ, the son of god; and that believing ye might have life through his name." john 20:31    "for god so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. for god sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (john 3:16-17)
