@mahdiahmad it's not but bible isn't sole evidence of Jesus crucifixion. Pliny. Tacitus.

@rezaaslan correct me if I'm wrong, do you believe that the Quran is wrong on the crucifixion of Jesus while the New Testament is right?

@mahdiahmad The historical Jesus was almost certainly crucified.

@rezaaslan the Bible is riddled with contradictions, errors, etc. So how it is a more reliable source than the Quran?

@rezaaslan there has been criticism of Testimonium Flavanium, let alone it not mentioning "Jesus of Nazareth", with Eusebius as a forger..

@rezaaslan Also, the Testimonium Flavanium was never mentioned by Christian scholars prior to 316 AD as a reference for Jesus' existence.

@rezaaslan briefly, what's the evidence do you have that the Quranic account of a man *looking like Jesus* being crucified is false?

@rezaaslan Pliny and Tacitus only say execution took place. Even then no details. Doesn't contradict Quran. @mahdiahmad

@shiblizaman @rezaaslan exactly. Jesus of Nazareth was never mentioned in the text as I mentioned earlier.

@rezaaslan Pliny, Tacitus are hearsay. Gospel writers also second hand info. Does Paul provide evidence for historicity? Btw, I'm a big fan.
