1. Was Mary alive when Jesus died on the cross
2. How old was Jesus when he died on the cross
3. Is there a different bible for other religions besides christian, ie. muslim (does their bible say something different)
4. do you think it was hard for God to send us the gift of his only child knowing how he was going to be tortured and die for our sins, I mean if you knew you had to let your baby go to save the world could you do it.

1 Mary was alive and Jesus spoke to her from the cross
2 We don't know exactly but the best guess was that he was in his thirties.
3 Yes. The first part of the Christian Bible - The Hebrew Bible - is sacred to Judaism and Islam have the Holy Qur'an which, they believe, was transmitted orally through Prophet Mohammad
4. Yes. I don't follow the traditional view of the doctrine of atonement but I do believe that Jesus was tortured and killed.

1. Yes, Jesus spoke from the cross and place his mother into the care of John the Apostle. There is also a record of Mary being present at a meeting of the Disciples some time after the crucifiction.

2. Jesus began His earthly ministry at the age of 30. Since it went on for 3 1/2 years before Jesus was crucified, He was 33 at the time of His death.

3. Only the Christian religion has the Bible which is a combination of the Jewish scriptures and the New Testament Gospels and Epistles. All other faiths have their own holy books: the Koran, Book of Mormon and so on.

4. God loved the world so much that he sent his only son to take the punishment for our sins so that we could be saved

1. Yes, Mary was alive when Jesus died on the cross.
2. Jesus was 30 years old when he died on the cross.
3. Yes, there are so many different bibles for other religions, as we know, not everyone believes that Jesus is the son of God, so therefore they have a diffrent bible for their beliefs. The muslim bible does accept that jesus was a prophet, but they dont believe that he was the son of god, and they dont believe that he rose from the dead.
4. I dont think that it was hard for God to send us his son, because it just goes to show how much love God has for us. He knew that it was the only way, and God also knew that his son would rise from the dead. Well if i was God and i had the ability to raise my child from the dead, i would send my baby to save the world, knowing that all is not lost.

Yes, Jesus's mother Mary was alive while Jesus was on the cross and He told the Apostle John to take Her into His Home, Jesus died on the cross probably at about 33 and a half years old most scholars believe. Jewish tradition held that you could not read in the synagogues until you were 30 and His ministry didn't last long. The Koran is much different than the Bible, islam is not the same as Christianity, in no way shape or form. Two totally different books. Two totally different beliefs, one has to be right, one has to be wrong. Could I give my child to save the world, probably not, but God could and did!! By His mercy and Grace we are saved thru Faith. Love conquers all, unconditional Love. That is what Jesus has for us, Praise the Lord for that. God Bless You and have a Merry Christmas!!

>Yes. She was even a witness to it.

2. How old was Jesus when he died on the cross

3. Is there a different bible for other religions besides christian, ie. muslim (does their bible say something different)

JESUS (peace and blessing be upon him) didnt die on the cross,he was only raised. . . the muslims believe the book send by the Almighty God to Jesus(peace and blessing be upon him) was Taurat.the Bible now,has only a part (maybe) of the Taurat left. The final book revealed is the Quran.nd by the Grace of God ,it hasnt changed a bit.
It doesnt really matter whether Mary((peace and blessing be upon her) was alive wen Jesus(peace and blessing be upon him) was raised.We have to follow the command of the Almighty to have success in this world and in the hereafter.

The Quran and the muslims do not deny the miracles of Jesus(peace and blessing be upon him).some quotes of the Quran are given below.
(3:59) , (4:71) , (3:49) , (19:29-33) , (4:157-159) , 5:75, 116-118

Talmut says; Jews killed Jesus! hence you cannot deny the existance to finish the issue of Messiah!

Early Christians accepted him by seeing and believing. They were not BLIND!

Some stories may differ in various cults of the Christianity due to human interventions particularly the power hungry church.

You know nothing beyond your own shell? You are kept ignorant of the world realities. Break the shell!


MUSLIM Perspective: Jesus was neither God nor his begotten son. However Jesus was a living reality, a prophet of God and Messiah of Israelites.

No Jewish Messiah as yet! Why ?

No Jew can answer. Because the prophecy has already been fulfilled.

It makes no difference if anyone does not accept the God or his prophets or his signs! God has given us many evidences of the righteousness of Jesus:

His teachings and specific calls to his people.

The Star and Wisemen from the East to Jerusalem.
Read Matt 2:1-3

These Wisemen were the representatives of the 10 lost tribes of Israelites living in Neshapur and Khorasan. They visited Jerusalem since the time had come and their prediction and effort was successful.
Many converted in Christianity through the teachings of disciples.

Last and the Final evidence is Holy Quran wherein the God himself confirmed the Righteousness of Jesus and recognised him as Messiah of Jewish nation. In recognition of this fact Every Muslim is bound to agree and accept Jesus as Messiah from the Almighty God.

Now almost 50% of the world population (Christians and Muslims) believe that Jesus was Messiah!

Again! It makes no difference if Jews who represent only 0.023% of the living population do not belive!

Their rejection is beyond comprehension! Based on the habitual transgressings written in Torah!

The prophecy is fulfilled.

Yes, Nearly ever major religion has some sort of religious texts. In order to understand the origins of the collection of oral myths passed down through the generations for thousands of years, you need to understand astrology.

"Jesus is known as the Sun of Righteousness. The birth of Jesus (at Christmas) is celebrated on December 25 at the Winter Solstice (the birth of the Sun, as the Sun begins to grow in light)." This is something I'm sure you've probably overlooked as so many other christians must also. The similarities between Christ and the sun as described by the bible are striking as Jesus is reffered to as the "light of the world, the savior (saving us each day from darkness), who has been resurected (every morning), wearing a crown of thorns (ancient depictions of jesus often show his head in front of the sun with the suns' rays surrounding his face).

The astrological significance of December 25th and the age which marked Jesus' birth has to do with his association with the fish, the age of pisces according to the zodiac. Technically the Age of Jesus began when the sun entered pisces on the spring equinox, which is why christians symbolize their religion with the "Jesus Fish."

"Another astrological reference concerning Christianity deals with the winter solstice which begins on December 21. It is the day of the year when the night is longest and the daytime shortest. The ancient Egyptians noticed that on the autumn equinox, the sun does not set farther south and sets in the same place on the horizon for three days. This is an astrological reference to when the sun (Son) goes down for three days (dies) and then begins to rise again (resurrection). Using the crude instruments available, ancient astronomers were able to detect by December 25th of each year that the daytime had become noticeably longer. This date was chosen, and remains, the traditional date for followers of many different religions to celebrate the "rebirth" of the sun. Following the equinox, each succeeding day has slightly more sunlight than the previous day. It was seen as a promise that warmth would return once more to the earth. Numerous pre-Christian religions honored their gods' birth or rebirth on or about that day."

The concept of the zodiac is very ancient, with roots in the early cited cultures of Mesopotamia. Astrology is, more than likely, the oldest religion created by humans. The first twelve-sign zodiacs were named after the gods of these cultures. The Greeks adopted astrology from the Babylonians, and the Romans, in turn, adopted astrology from the Greeks. These cultures renamed the signs of the Mesopotamian zodiac to symbols of their own mythologies. This is why the familiar zodiac of the contemporary West bears names out of Mediterranean mythology.
