Truth About The Crucifixion — Page 7
ascension and the second coming of Jesus. With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, added interest in the Holy Shroud of Turin, and a better understanding of death in its revised medical definition, have collectively helped in lifting the shroud of mystery which has cloaked the true Jesus over a period of close upon two thousand years. . The Muslims believe in the Holy Quran as the revealed word of God Almighty, which has withstood the constant buffeting of new and historical discoveries and yet they have always found that its presentation of facts is clear and unambiguous. The. Holy Quran affirms that Jesus was born without a father and that he was a prophet of God, who was a recipient of divine revelation. . He was put on the cross but was miraculously taken down before life became extinct. The Founder of our Movement, Hazrat Mirza. Ghulam Ahmad, was able to present tangible evidence to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he was ministered unto and was resuscitated and after meeting his disciples in his physical body, he departed to carry his message, as he had desired, to the lost tribes of Israel, and eventually died at a ripe old age on a pleasant plateau with springs of running water as indicated in the Holy Quran. Thus to a Muslim, Jesus did not die an accursed death on the cross because it is not the practice of. God Almighty to allow His chosen prophets to become the victims of an accursed death at the hands of those who do not believe in them. The Holy Quran was revealed some six centuries after the crucifixion of Jesus and it clearly stated that the Jews failed to kill him. Thus six centuries later, the mystery and conjectures regarding Jesus were firmly corrected in the revealed word of God. Almighty. . That truth is being brought to you once again so that you may judge for yourselves. Our International panel of speakers is not here to conduct a post-mortem on the Church and the Cross, but to present facts and their view of those facts to help you reach the truth. . After this brief exposition of the purpose of the Conference,. I wish to express our deepest gratitude to the Head of the Movement, Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih III, who most graciously granted us his permission to hold this Conference. . He has been a source of inspiration and guidance to the organisers and agreed to bless the Conference with his holy presence and to address those present at the final session 7
