Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.

regarding the verse 5:116, 117, I have talked about in the post#41. pls refer to it.
In addition to it, I would again lay emphasis on the fact that in the last part of his response, Jesus(as) cleared himself of the responsibility of the shirk of his people by saying “As long as I was among them, I was a witness over them when you gave me death then only You(Allah) was watcher over them”.

this explaination doesn’t make any sense as Jesus(as) has already said very clearly in his first three responses. The fourth response shows that under the watch of Jesus(as) his people didn’t do shirk, it could only have happened after his ‘tawaffee’ and after his tawaffee only and only Allah was watcher over them. The part about Allah being watcher is stressed with ‘Kunta Anta’ that could mean that only and only Allah was watcher over them after the tawafee of jesus(as) and there is absolutely no chance of him being witness over them again.
So since it is manifest to us the shirk of his people then only tawaffee i.e., death has already happened.

No … in this time he (AS) is not witness over us … as he is not with us. When he will come back he will start to resolve that again. Even when he came earlier many people were misled about who he (AS) was and how they understood him, but he used to rebuke them and clarify constantly. Gospel of Barnabas has some interesting discussions.
