I will cause those who truly follow you to dominate the rejecters until the Day of Resurrection. Eventually, all of you will return to Me, then I will judge among you about what you used to differ."

Whose translation is that? As far as I know, there is no "of natural causes" in that verse.

"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"

Every moslem bear witness that there is only Allah but never a testimony about Him

You bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah but you have never seen him before Big Grin

Do you moslems know the definition of the word "witness"

Yes, we are not clear about where or what happened to Jesus, pbuh.

We are only told that he wasn't killed or crucified.

But you can't even prove His existent ...there is not a testimony of him.

Atheists can also say that humans are the proof of the existence of Aliens Big Grin

That depends. On that issue, it is either this or that.

But the Quran is clear the Jesus pbuh was neither killed nor crucified.

The Quran is clear that He was neither killed or crucified during His capture...this I can agree with the Quran...

What comes after that is where I find it unacceptable.
A sinless man, his gospel lost according to the will of Allah and then unalive without a chance to plead...

Yes...you can hear the testimonies from christians. you can find them on YouTube as well...we are proud to bear witness to the "only true God!"

So you can use those testimonies as well. The God of Jesus is the God we Muslims worship.

Yes, he pleaded while in the garden. But you believe his plea fell on deaf ears. 

We believe God heard his plea and granted it, saved him.

It was His destiny, He predicted His death 3 times..It was a honorable death and His purpose was fulfilled...a sinless man bearing the sins of the world..

You believe God heard His plead, saved Him and unalive Him on his way to heaven?

No, I believe he is still alive and awaiting time to return.

That doesn't fit the rest of the story.

He said, clearly, that his purpose is to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

He pleaded with God to save him from being killed.

No. It is 2 different Gods. The Islamic God can never have a relationship with his creations. There is a hierarchy.
