What happened to Jesus of Nazareth?

Simplest possible solution: he wasn't really dead when they took him down for the cross. 9 hours generally wasn't enough to die. The part about the tomb is either artistic license, or maybe they really put him in there to keep up appearances and got him out soon after.

A hot take! The hottest of takes!

Anyway, option 1, although "ascend" obviously shouldn't be taken to mean what it normally does.

There's no need to be a dick about it. I clearly wasn't trying to be edgy or a know-it-all or whatever you're implying. Just saying what seems likely in my mind.

As Muslims, we don't believe Jesus ever died on the cross but was saved by God before he could be crucified and will return in the End Times and destroy the Cross of those who distorted his message.

The only account of Jesus's message we have is contained in the gospels, where he insists repeatedly on the necessity of his own death, often citing scripture to support his position. The Muslim position here is untenable.

Not that I'm a Muslim or anything, but how can we possibly know if the Gospel account is accurate? It could have easily been telephone-gamed or deliberate altered due to the agendas of the first- and second-century writers.
