@rezaaslan correct me if I'm wrong, do you believe that the Quran is wrong on the crucifixion of Jesus while the New Testament is right?
@mahdiahmad The historical Jesus was almost certainly crucified.

@rezaaslan the Bible is riddled with contradictions, errors, etc. So how it is a more reliable source than the Quran? -
@mahdiahmad it's not but bible isn't sole evidence of Jesus crucifixion. Pliny. Tacitus. -
@rezaaslan there has been criticism of Testimonium Flavanium, let alone it not mentioning "Jesus of Nazareth", with Eusebius as a forger.. -
@rezaaslan Also, the Testimonium Flavanium was never mentioned by Christian scholars prior to 316 AD as a reference for Jesus' existence. -
@rezaaslan Furthermore,the Quran doesn't deny someone was crucified as you know,but that person wasn't Jesus but someone who looked like him -
@mahdiahmad Common gnostic understanding of Jesus in Muhammad's time. -
@rezaaslan to imply that the Quran just mirrored sentiments is not just revisionist but denying the belief that the Quran is God's words. -
@mahdiahmad I respect your beliefs on this subject but they do not match the history of the time - 2 more replies

@rezaaslan ...if there aren't any extra-scriptural sources "proving" the crucifixion, aren't you engaged in circular reasoning?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
