Hey all, I'm a newbie here and this is my first post. I've been researching a lot of world religions, concentrating on Islam, due to a large number of Muslims living in my area. I've searched several web sites and asked several members of the Islamic community, but not been able to find the answer to two simple questions.
First, to my understanding, Muslims believe that Jesus did not actually die on the cross. I've two versions of what happened. One of them is that Jesus stood trial and before the sentence was carried out, Allah miraculously removed him from danger and replaced him with someone else. The other is that though Jesus did go to the cross, he did not die, but, again, was saved by Allah.
My first question is this, every bit of research I've done has shown that Jesus did indeed stand trial, but for what? Why was he sentenced? With what was he charged?
My second is why did Allah wait nearly 600 years before revealing the truth? Merely personal opinion, but that seems to be a deception to His creation? I don't mean to offend anyone, for that matter, I'd like to be proven wrong.
