Director James Cameron says he has found the body of Jesus (no, really)

When I read the title of this thread I laughed. When I read the "evidence" put forth, I laughed even harder.

I find this to be an outrage to us Muslims also. Does not the Qur'an tell us that Isa(as) was raised up to Heaven.

3:55. (And remember) when Allah said: O Jesus! Lo! I am gathering thee and causing thee to ascend unto Me, and am cleansing thee of those who disbelieve and am setting those who follow thee above those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then unto Me ye will (all) return, and I shall judge between you as to that wherein ye used to differ. Y S C

4:157. And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain. Y S C

4:158. But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise. Y S C
4:159. There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them - Y S C

Since Muslims claim that a person was crucified in Jesus place, the presence of a body thought to be Jesus would not be an issue as I see it in Islam. Would not God continue the deception after the crucifixion and make people think they found Jesus since He induced them to think they crucified Him?

The program segement I watched proposed that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married secretly to protect a dynasty. This marriage seems to be a common thread among all secular studies on the history of Jesus. Apparently His dynasty didn't do well if his followers were tortured and killed. I wonder what He hoped to gain through such deception?
 
I don't like your choice of word "Would not God continue the deception after the crucifixion and make people think they found Jesus since He induced them to think they crucified Him?"G-D doesn't deceive!
....... Also according to them there is no "body" to be found just bones... and the bodies of Messangers and martyrs don't decompose!

Thirdly Muslims don't condone the desecration of graves no matter to whom the grave belongs!

Lastly you should ask yourself who is behind the digging and what is to be gained. I doubt you'll find your answer on an Islamic forum!
 
This is so lame, how on earth are they going to prove it was Jesus.:rollseyes

The issue is they are trying to convince people, they have found the body of Isa(as) so there is a desecration of a Prophet(PBUT) although it is by false teaching.

Isa alaysalam's spirit was raised to the heaven's...but his body of course remained on earth as 4:158 supports.

Of course, we Muslims wont believe that it's the body of Jesus... But it "might be" the body of the replacement person.

But whatsoever it's not really bother Muslims, as it's not important to our belief....

---i just checked ....the verse does not say that body of Isa (p) was remained here.

after his second coming he will die & I heard that , he will be buried beside Prophet Muhammed (p).

well pardon me for my mistake...as far as my knowledge led me to believe...that is what i knew, but thank you for clearing it up for me...JazakAllah Kher

I guess even non-religious archaeologists don't agree with what he is doing now, simply because they see the work as bad archaeology. I think I'm just going to forget about it and let it slip to the pages of tabloid history.

At last we finally have a thread we have all agreed on. Although we may have different reason for thinking so, we all seem to be in agreement that Mr Cameron has no idea what he is talking about.
