Answer 1

This question will drive me to dig into the history of the Christian scriptures...

Any Christian scholar of Christian history will readily confirm that after the famous council of Nicea (325 AD), the church of St. Paul (The Roman Catholic Church) selected out of the over three hundred Gospels in their possession the four that most closely conformed to their doctrines. All others were ordered completely destroyed because they were considered "Apocrypha" (which actually means "hidden from the people"). Some of these were written by disciples of Jesus (pbuh), and not disciples of disciples, who had never met Jesus (pbuh), such as Paul. If these destroyed Gospels were not more authentic than the current selection then they were at least of equal authenticity. The church also ruled that all Gospels written in Hebrew were to be destroyed. An edict was issued that anyone found in possession of an unauthorized Gospel would be put to death. Countless numbers of Christians were then systematically killed as heretics and burned at the stake if they maintained their belief in the divine Unity of God and did not conform to the innovative teachings of Paul. It is well known that this practice continued until at least the year 1616 AD.

Fortunately there was one Gospel -that I know of-, which was saved although it does not agree with the teachings of St. Paul, this Gospel is the Gospel of Barnabas, there is one copy of it in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, and another one in the British museum. A new printing has been made off of these copies and it is available today. This Gospel agrees with the Quran and mentions Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by name.

Some quotations from the Gospel of Barnabas:

In reply to a question by Philip, Prophet Jesus said: "God alone hath no equal. He hath had no beginning, nor will he ever have a end, ... He hath no sons, nor brethern, nor companions." (Gospel of Barnabas: 17).

"... Verily ye have erred greatly, O Israelites, in calling me, a man, your God. ... I confess before heaven, ... that I am a stranger to all that ye have said; seeing that I am man, born of a mortal woman, subject to the judgment of God, suffering the miseries of eating and sleeping, of cold and heat, like other men, Whereupon when God shall come to judge, my words like a sword shall pierce each one (of them) that believe me to be more than man," (Gospel of Barnabas: 93).

Answer 2

Because you can't rely on what's written in the bible. Don't forget that the gospels were written many decades if not centuries after the actual event, and it has also gone through several translations to get to English. Can you remember the actual words that were said by somebody 100 years ago (without the benefit of recording devices?) Also don't forget that the four gospels you see in today's bible are four out of over 80 that were doing the rounds at the time. These four were chosen by the bishops of the time (Council of Nicea) to be the 'official' gospels, as they were the ones which kept the power with the clergy. As always, it's down to who wields the power.
As for the bible, take it with a pinch of salt.

Answer 3

Are you sure these are the right references?
Luke 8:41-42 speaks of Jesus being asked to heal Jarius's daughter
Luke 7:11-15 speaks of Jesus raising someone else from the dead.
Neither verse has anything to do with the crucifixion, how does these explain he didn't die?

In Luke 23:46, Jesus died on the cross, the last sentence of this verse reads "When he had said this, he breathed his last."

Your second link, refers to the "Gospel of Barnabus" which is widely regarded as an Islamic forgery by most Christians who have heard of it.

Answer 4

Everyone is answering without looking at the verses. These verses are about miracles Jesus performed. Not about is crucificion or resurrection.
Luke 8

41 And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus' feet, he implored him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

As Jesus went, the people pressed around him.

Luke 7
11 Soon afterward [3] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus [4] gave him to his mother.

HERE IS WHAT LUKE SAYS ABOUT JESUS' CRUCIFIXION

LUKE 23:
The Death of Jesus
44 It was now about the sixth hour, [5] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, [6] 45 while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.

Answer 5

Wrong,

It is in the Gospel of Luke.

Read Luke Chapter 23

Answer 6

OK, are you resting your assumption on the verse that says "As they led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus."? Because I can't find anywhere else where one might foolishly think that Jesus didn't die on the cross, stake, tree and for that matter was resurrected and ascended onto God the Father. If you are looking at that verse it only explains that Jesus, after being whipped and scourged with in an inch of His life, was too weak at a point to continue carrying the cross/stake/tree so they made another man carry it for Him. Where does anyone see any suggestion or proof that Jesus wasn't actually nailed to that cross/stake/tree between those two thieves and die?

Answer 7

there were 4 gospel accounts of Jesus' death and they are all accurate to a point. Luke wrote his account after the others and may not have been in attendance at the crucifixion, bit of a chinese whisper scenario!

the other 3 all write about His crucifixion in great detail and even Luke talks of the holes in Jesus' hands and feet that would only have been cause by crucifixion.

so proove He didn't now!

Answer 8

Never read the Gospel of Luke have you? Do you know what the word Gospel means? how about the word Bible?

gospel-good news
bible-library

Answer 9

You are reading it wrong. Jesus died on the cross, was buried and resurrected the third day. Over 500 people saw Jesus after the cross and burial. 500 eye witnesses is quite a few. Why are you trying to deceive?

Answer 10

Read Luke 23 v 26-46 and all will be revealed.You cannot con people as easily as that!!!!!
Lukes Gospel...as with all the other Gospels explains that He did die on the cross.
Best wishes, Mike.
