Does Allah have a problem with the cross? Is there some point to saving someone from death and sending him back to die? Can Allah save anyone if he can't save a perfect man? If Jesus can't be saved what are your chances?

Sternchen thanks It does seem suspicous that a man can be killed and ressurected only it was not allowed in the case of Christ..Seems to me that Muhamamd's point in changing this was to show Christ was not God as was believed in this time by Christians...Interesting! I still have not ahad anyone show a real reason a man would be saved and then returned ot die later...seems the qu'ran did not explain this issue as the Qu'ran calims many prophets were killed and only Jesus was spaed death yet later sent and will die...hmm...it does seem deliberate doesnt it?

Jesus was not spared the cross.
When Jesus returns He will not return to die.
He will return to set up His own kingdom.
Unless you can prove Allah is the One True God, your premise is a straw man.
The One True God raised Jesus from the dead, so that He could show us that His Son was not just a man, but existed in the beginning with God.
As to the comments of others, God didn't give Christians orders to kill the infidels. Allah ordered Muslims to kill the infidels.

Muslims believe someone else died in Jesus' place. if God would allow an innocent victim to die in Christ's place, why not just let Jesus die? Finally, what was the point of allowing someone else to die at all when God could have easily taken Jesus to heaven in full view of his enemies? This would have been the greatest act God could have performed in vindicating Jesus from all the lies of Christ's enemies.
There are examples in the Quran where people died and came back to life only to die again:
Bethink thee (O Muhammad) of those of old, who went forth from their habitations in their thousands, fearing death, and Allah said unto them: Die; and then He brought them back to life. Lo! Allah is a Lord of Kindness to mankind, but most of mankind give not thanks. S. 2:243 Pickthall
The theory of Christ dying and rising a second time is quite plausible from an Islamic perspective

Jesus (pbuh) never died (on the cross or naturally) but instead, the person who was crucified was the traitor disciple who told the Roman soldiers about his place. The confusion is clearly stated in the Qur'an in Surah an-Nisa (4) verses 157-158, which also state that Prophet Jesus was raised to Allah. Muslims also believe that Jesus shall come at the end of time to tell the truth, to rule the earth with justice, to fight the anti-Christ, and to die as a human being

Muslims worship a god by the name of Allah. They also give him ninety-nine other names. The question that naturally arises is who or what is this Allah? Where did the Muslims derive their ideas of Allah's nature and attributes?
Historical Source of Islam
Historians, linguists, and archeologists have dug into this question for over a century. Various archeological digs in Arabia and throughout the Middle East have uncovered the answer: Islam is a modern version of the ancient fertility religion of the moon god. Once this is grasped, the rise and history of Islam becomes clear.
The Arab conquests were made possible because the central powers in the Middle East had exhausted themselves in wars against each other. They were not able to fight off wave after wave of Arab armies which subdued entire nations with merciless slaughter, rape and plunder.
Conquering Armies
The Arabs destroyed some of the wonders of the ancient world such as the world famous library in Alexandria, Egypt, They destroyed many ancient churches and synagogues. Anthropologists have recorded how the Arabs destroyed the cultural heritage of any nation which fell under their sword.
Who were these Arabs? They obviously were not Christians because they destroyed churches and murdered priests wherever they went. Obviously, they were not Jews because they persecuted Jews without pity. This is seen today in their hatred of Israel and the many wars and acts of terrorism waged against Jews throughout the world.
If the Arab hordes which swept over the ancient world were not Christians or Jews, then what were they? They were pagans who worshipped a pagan god called Allah and followed pagan rites which were practiced in Arabia long before the religion of Islam evolved.
Islam Denies the Trinity
These facts of history reveal that Islam does not worship the same God worshipped by Christians. Why?
Christians worship one God in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. But Islam denies the Holy Trinity and worships a different deity called Allah who is not a Father and who has no son.
Since the religion found in the Bible teaches the Trinity, then it does not take a Ph.D. to see that Islam did not come from the Bible. Thus it is not the religion of the biblical prophets, apostles or Jesus.
Pagan Origins
Islam's origins have been traced back by scholars to the ancient fertility religion of the worship of the moon god which was always the dominant religion of Arabia. The moon god was worshipped by praying toward Mecca several times a day, making an annual pilgrimage to the Kabah which was a temple of the moon god, running around the Kabah seven times, caressing an idol of a black stone set in the wall of the Kabah, running between two hills, making animal sacrifices, gathering on Fridays for prayers, giving alms to the poor, etc.. These were pagan rites practiced by the Arabs long before Muhammad was born.
The Crescent Moon
What religion today practices the pagan rites of the moon god? Islam! This explains why the crescent moon is the symbol of Islam. It is placed on top of mosques and minarets and displayed on hats, flags, rugs, amulets and even jewelry. Every time you see the Muslim symbol of a crescent moon, you are seeing the ancient symbol of the moon god.
Denial Not a Refuge
Does the average Muslim know that he is worshipping a moon god? No. Does he know why the crescent moon symbol sits on top of his mosque? No. Is he shocked and perhaps angered at these facts of history? Yes. But can mere denial or angry threats refute the fact that Islam is nothing more than a modern version of the ancient religion of the moon god Allah? No. The average Muslim has been kept in the dark by the Mullahs and Imams who would lose their power if the truth ever got out.
Worship the True God
Dear Muslim friend, instead of worshipping a false moon god called Allah, you should worship the God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. This one true God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Read the New Testament for it is the true Word of God.

It's simple, messengers are sent to spread God's message, Jesus was going to be killed before his message was known to all, God saved him from being captured to come back years later.
It's not about death, it's about the message.

Muslims and christians will never get along, and throw a jewish peron in the mix, what a mess.
I'm telling you, you all need to pick your best fighter and have a cage match, winner take all.
I'm tired of the religious arguments, there is no god.
Than we can all get along

There doesn't have to be so much tension between two religions that have the same origins (In Judaism). Islam and Christianity simply have developed different stories. If you look at these as lessons and stories more than historically accurate documents, there will be much less heartache and misery.
