I have checked three of your questions and the answers. You are trying to pick apart the story of the crucifixion by what you consider to be fallacies in the scriptures. The Christians have not received it well for two reasons. First, because it challenges their faith. That's fine. Second, because the arguments don't necessarily show damaging contradictions.
I like your spirit but you need some better material to hack at. Try this one, (and I'm sorry I don't remember the gospels and can't find my bible.) There are two genealogies in two of the four gospels. These connect Jesus to Adam, through his *step*father, Joseph. Major problem already. Jesus wasn't related to Adam or any of the patriarchs. He was supposedly the son of God, an immaculate conception. OOPS!
And then when you look at the genealogies they are vastly different. How can they both be the word of God? OOPS again! That's my favorite fallacy in the bible.
No OOPS, bullfrog. I have checked the bible and it was as I said. Both genealogies lead to Joseph. And they even disagree on who *his* father was. So what happened? Did somebody finally decide to re-write the bible again in order to get rid of the glaring contradiction? It wouldn't surprise me. It's been a make-it-up-as-you-go business from the beginning. This deserves a post of its own in which I hope you cite your source and tell us when that version was printed.
I was wrong about both genealogies leading back to Adam, though. One only goes back to Abraham.

Truth is relative to what a person considers to be fact and fiction...I do not believe what you have asked is truth..I am not afraid of truth I embrace it...however, you have just caught me at the tail end of a study that proves the existence, and the crucifixion of Jesus. Then again I wasn't getting nasty so this question probably didn't apply to me =)

I was unable to view that particular question since your q&a are private.
I imagine that some users may have been offended by the way you phrased the question. I hope the question was sincere and in the proper context.

Yes, they are afraid of the truth. Your questions are thought provoking, so it puts a scare in some of them.

Would you consider making your questons and answers public so those of us that do not know what the previous question is can see it.
OOps KBW3 one of the geneologies is Joseph's the other is Mary's. Try again

Jesus (peace be upon him) was neither killed, nor tortured, nor crucified.
"For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced." [KJ Bible John 19:36-37]
They did look on him who they pierced - THIS WAS A LIKENESS -it was NOT Jesus (peace be upon him). The Qu'ran confirms this:
“And concerning their saying, 'We killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Allah's Messenger.' They killed him not, nor crucified, but it appeared so to them. Indeed those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it. They have no (true) knowledge about it except that they follow conjecture. Surely, they did not kill him. But Allah did take him up unto Himself. Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.” (Qu'ran An-Nisaa’: 157-158)
Thus Almighty GoD (Allah) answered Jesus' (peace be upon him) prayer:
"And he (Jesus) withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 'Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup (meaning death) from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.' And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him…" (Bible: Luke 22:41-43)
May the peace and blessings of God (Allah) be upon Jesus always.
May Truth prevail always.
Amen.
