Basic Quranic Deception Against the Cross at Golgotha

Speaking of looking at the context of the text, while we focus on the meaning of مكر and its relation to the Quranic attempt to redefine the sacrifice of Yeshua, the carpenter of Nazareth, there appears to be potential alternative meanings to its use; that the deceit, the deception employed here to diffuse the real intent of the Gospel message of salvation is also couched in the subliminal attack on the Gospel, that the intent of deception is an act of cunning and wiliness to cast aspersion and blame in anti-Semitic antipathies towards disciples of the Savior and their devotion to His message of the love of the Almighty.
As DNM has indicated before, it is a better read if one goes back to the Gospel translations in Aramaic/Syriac, where belief leads the way to a better understanding of Yeshua, ben David, HaMashiach.
