Dear Brother Mike,
Hello
Thank you for your reply;
Mike: {Mohamed if you really want to know the truth you would get off of your intellectually lazy butt and explore the cites I have given you since the answer to your discrepancies are right in front of you.}

Mohamed: I have (gotten off my butt) and I can not find the answers to these first two tensions:
Was the tomb open when they arrived? Matthew 28:2 "No" Mark 16:4 "Yes" Luke 24:2 "Yes" John 20:1 "Yes"
and
Did Jesus stay on earth for a while? Mark: "No" (16:19) Compare 16:14 with John 20:19 to show that this was "all done on Sunday" Luke: "No" (24:50-52) "It all happened on Sunday" John: Yes, at least eight days (20:26, 21:1-22) Acts: "Yes, at least forty days" (1:3)
Can't you be kind enough to assist me in finding the logical answer to these discrepencies?
Mohamed: to give each other websites is simply funny,
Mike: No it's useful if you were to actually read my references just as I have read yours. At best Mohamed your are being intellectually lazy. Open your mind and accept the reality that Islam is indefensible and thus untrue.
Mohamed: Again (I've gotten off my lazy butt) and I have visited your refrence "answering Islam" I have enjoyed it and it proved to me more that Islam is the Final, True Religion. I have open mindedly discussed theological topics with the respected author(Jochen Katz) on more then one occasion search this site your self and see, many of your concerns are answered, if you are looking for Truth.
Mike: I challenge you again to answer the Islamic dilemma: Since Muslim claim that Allah is the same God as the Christian God whose word cannot be corrupted and since the Qur'an and the NT contradict each other on the historical fact of Jesus' crucifixion, Allah contradicts himself. Therefore, Allah cannot be God.
Mohamed: a wonderful new poster here has answered this very nicely, the Qur'an does not contradict the Old Testament:

Mike: Mohamed you do not practice what you preach for if you did you would have explored the websites I have given you and if you did not agree with them you would have provided a refutation (like I have) but you have not because you cannot. Mohamed accept the reality that you have no good reason to believe that Islam is true. Open you mind and receive God's grace through faith Jesus.
Mohamed: Muslims recieve Allah's Grace through themselves while believing in Jesus and his return on Judgement day. We are all responsible for our own actions. I would as a human with love for humanity, would not want anyone to die for me, I would rather follow the Laws of Allah.
Peace and Blessings,
Your Brother in Islam: Mohamed
