Let me please remind you that you are a "fringe" Muslim talking to those who are believed to be "fringe" Christians.....Jesus might be part of your belief system, but you have no business claiming things about him that our scripture does not teach. Your prophet is Muhammad, so unless you obey Jesus, (who was Jewish) you have no claim on him.
Jesus said that 'salvation originates with the Jews', but it does not end with them. The Messiah was to come through the seed of Abraham, but Moses was clear about which sons of Abraham would receive that blessing......it wasn't Ishmael. Islam IMO, has no claim whatsoever on Jesus.

None of the writers was an eyewitness of the event"? You understand nothing I'm afraid."
Also friend
@capumetu ,please.
Just let us know where Matthew was located and seeing the event of Jesus on the Cross?
Are you familiar with the fact that the Bible indicates that all the apostles were with Jesus on the night of his arrest. As he stepped forward to the armed mob who came for him, Jesus requested that if they had come for him, that they should let his disciples go.
Out of fear they fled the scene as it was prophesied in Zechariah 13:7...
”Then Jesus said to them: “All of you will be stumbled in connection with me on this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered about.’ 32 But after I have been raised up, I will go ahead of you into Galʹi·lee.” (Matthew 26:31-32; John 16:32)
Peter had assured Jesus that he would never deny him, but was told by Jesus that before a rooster crowed in the morning, he would have denied knowing him three times. Fear of man can be powerful and the apostles were human like the rest of us.
When Peter heard the rooster crow, he wept out of deep feelings of shame.
If you feared for your life, would you turn up at an execution imagining that you might be next? That John was there as his Master was dying, showed his great affection for his “Lord” and eye witnesses would have spread the details of all that took place on that momentous day. It would have been a public spectacle talked about for quite some time.
The disciples came together after Jesus' death and John would have shared his first hand account of what took place. Jesus appeared to them and reassured them of his love for them...and he stayed around for 40 days to strengthen them to carry on in his absence. There was still a lot of work to do.
Why Mark/John/Luke couldn't observe and report seeing Matthew and vice verse, please?
So what?
The Christian scriptures do not convey every single thing that happened whilst Jesus walked the earth. (John 21:25)
"All scripture is inspired of God".....this is what we believe, though it may not be what you have been told.
Your scripture is not our scripture....Allah is NOT our God....and Muhammad is NOT our prophet. We owe you nothing but the explanations we give you in answer to your questions. (which I might add, are at times highly insulting)
As for Paul, isn't faking a vision a sinful act, please?
I am afraid one is mistaken. Right, please?
Why do you persist in this? It is a lie! Paul had no reason to fake a vision. He was at the forefront of persecuting the Christians because he saw them as a threat to his beloved Judaism. By converting to become a follower of his avowed enemy, he would make himself a public laughing stock. His conversion resulted in many forms of persecution from his own people as they turned on him, seeing him as a traitor. Why would he do that to himself? He was left for dead more than once after such attacks.
The other spirit anointed apostles accepted Paul as an apostle, (though he was not one of the 12) which means that we have no excuse to reject him or his writings, regardless of what you believe......OK?
Before becoming a JW, in what denomination one was, please?
I was raised as an Anglican. But the blatant hypocrisy forced me to leave. I explored other denominations in Christendom but found them all to be just different versions of the same lies. They did not uphold Christ’s teachings or commands. I got a divorce from that religion, but not from God or Jesus....and I had great respect for the Bible. I just had to learn for myself, what it teaches, and follow it to the letter to the best of my ability.
I am not against one or the JWs, I am just pointing it out that Paul was the person that fits to be " the wolf in the sheep's clothing" Jesus warned against. Right friend, please?
Seriously? You malign Paul without cause. You believe what others are saying with no evidence for any of your accusations.
Produce your evidence instead of just empty claims and I will show you how wrong you are.
