Allah made it look like Jesus died, but he let someone die in Jesus' place to save Jesus according to the Quran. Isn't that a form of substitutionary death? This is something some Muslims tell me God doesn't do; so, I am confused about this.
The Quran states that the unbelievers plot and scheme with deception but Allah is the "best of deceivers" Some English translations state "the best of planners," in context, however, Allah does best what the unbelievers were doing which was deceiving; so, is Allah to blame for starting Christianity or did he know his deception would cause the birth of a religion that Islam could not comprehend or overcome? For instance, Christianity, IMO, has always been bigger, better and stronger than Islam and always will be!
Did Allah start Christianty?

Muslim don't believe Jesus died on the cross so why do you use what isn't real to you to support Islam's deceptions? This is what is deceptive and twisted about Islam. It will say everything and anything to get adherents and keep them whether it is true or not. IMO, Islam's enemy is truth and knoweldge; its friend is ignorance and deception...
ANSWER:Â JOHN 10:18
"No man TAKETH IT FROM ME, Â but "I" lay it down of myself. "I" have power to lay it down, and "I" have power to take it again.
Notice in this verse Jesus (peace be upon him) claims he has the power to raise himself, and there is no mention of God, Jesus (peace be upon him) is talking in first person "I" furthermore there is another contradiction because in Acts 5:30 we read:
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. (Acts 5:30)
Hence it was God who raised Jesus (peace be upon him) he didn’t have the power to raise himself. I don't see where I have stated anything that we don't believe in, in order to  support my claims. I'm refuting the claim you made that through believing in Jesus (peace be upon him) laying down his life for your sins will save you. Burninglight Islam is the truth we don't lie about anything we expose the liars he he.

It appears you don't read my posts. I said I don't accept the claims of Muhammad, which has nothing to do with denying a gods existence.HaLi8993 wrote:
ANSWER: It is one of the greatest harms a person can achieve, as denial of God is worse than that of Saytan who (at least) acknowledged Him.
Childish threats based on Muhammad's words does not interest me in the least.You are causing harm to yourself by depriving yourself of the Rewards, Mercy, Guidance, Protection and most importantly Paradise that awaits those true believers and worshipers of God according to His laws. You are also harming others as you are diverting them from following the Message, hence misguiding them and leading them to a path of destruction, you will be held accountable for what you have caused them to do.
Yet, sound human nature, reason and logic don't support Muhammad's words.The strange view that Atheism has in regards to the universe and everything in it coming about purely by chance is contrary to sound human nature, reason and logic, and is contrary to simple logic and indisputable facts. Such a person would transgress every sacred limit and fall into every sin, his worldview would be distorted.
LOL! Hilarious. What does that have to do Muhammad's words?The way that I see it is that Atheism goes against natural tendencies to believe in God, this belief is not always deeply rooted in the hearts of the atheists, and they affirm that they are only professing atheism outwardly, deep down he believes in one God. But he continues his life denying it due to stubbornness or other worldly reasons.
Sorry, but there is no evidence for a creator, science has never observed anything that would support Muhammad's words.ANSWER: There is plenty of evidence that leads to none other but the belief in a Creator, but people are in search of the answers from science instead of reliance on the Creator of science. God is the one that has Created nature and yet people want to turn to others who are constantly changing their theories, where by science keeps developing and brains are limited in knowing the matters of the Unseen. If I were to discover a watch on the beach with such mechanisms that make it function, I would certainly not call this chance or coincidence because someone must have put that watch there, it must of come from some where it must have a Maintainer, Owner, Creator and Sustainer.

He could have chose not to die on the cross. He said, "I lay down muy life and take it back again." No other prophet except for Jesus raised from the dead and no other prophet could say "I am". Jesus didn't want to save Himself at the expense of our eternal souls.HaLi8993 wrote: @ Burninglight
QUOTE: "Simply believing in God does not keep us from spiritual harm. For instance, The devils believe, fear and tremble. That cannot save a persons soul for eternity. Only Jesus can"
ANSWER: Yes, but not believing in God brings harm to other and yourself, Jesus (peace be upon him) is not God, so you can he save you when he did not possess the power to save himself on the cross??Â
Not believing in God does cause harm though, but believing in the wrong god does just as much damage. Islam's god is not the same as the God of the Bible

Not believing in God does cause harm though, but believing in the wrong god does just as much damage. Islam's god is not the same as the God of the Bible"
ANSWER: I don't believe he did, God decreed for him not to die on the cross. In this verse Jesus says: "I have the power to lay it down"
No body witnessed  the Resurrection of Jesus (peace be upon him), Jesus made it clear that crucifixion was not his purpose:
Mark 1:38:
Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else--to the nearby villages--so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.
Â
Furthermore the apostles did not believe Jesus rose from the dead nor did they expect him to do so: Â
Mark 16:14
Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen
Matthew 16:22
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!� he said. “This shall never happen to you!
Â
Moreover Jesus (peace be upon him) did not want to die, he was unwilling:
Luke 22:42-43
42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.
43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him
Â
Also God promised to save the Messiah in Chronicles and Psalms. Not to mention the bible rejecting human sacrifice in Deutronomy 12:31.
Â
The crucifixion was not his purpose. Jesus' mission was to preach the Torah, and the Gospel, the idea of “dying for the sins of mankindâ€� was added later.Â
 Why did Jesus say “I have completed my mission� before he was even arrested? Why didn’t he say these words after the crucifixion?:
John 17:3-5
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.Â
The Quran absolves Jesus of all these charges:
QURAN - 4:157
Â
"That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not"
Yes believing in the wrong religion causes harm, to say Islam's God is not the same God of Christians is incorrect, your God and my God are One, there is only One God, if this was the case then according to your own scriptures Jesus would not have said:
Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Â Â
Mark 12:29
QUOTE: "He could have chose not to die on the cross. He said, "I lay down muy life and take it back again." No other prophet except for Jesus raised from the dead and no other prophet could say "I am". Jesus didn't want to save Himself at the expense of our eternal souls.Â

If you don't believe Jesus died on the cross, why do you use it as an argument? It is impossible that Islam's god and the Biblical God are one. They aren't the same.

Since Allah didn't understand the Christian trinity, I can ask Muslims questions they cannot answer such as, can you show me were it states Allah is against the trinity as Christians understand it or God's Triunity? Where does it state that God's word cannot be made flesh?
