MUSLIMS
SAY
“HASN’T
YOUR CHRISTIAN BIBLE HAS BEEN CORRUPTED?”
but
the
Qu’ran says the opposite … “THE BIBLE IS NOT CORRUPT!”
There
is a repeated claim by Muslims, that the Bible has been corrupted and
that the
Qu’ran is the only trustworthy scripture in existence.
This
is why Muslims often attack the Bible.
However, your
average Muslim is only repeating what
he has been told, but this cannot be according to
the Qu’ran.
The
Qu’ran says that the five books of Moses, the Torah (Genesis,
Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), the Psalms, and the Gospel
were
all given by God … as follows:
THE
TORAH: “We gave Moses the Book and followed
him up with a succession of messengers” (Sura 2:87)
THE
PSALMS: “We have sent thee inspiration, as we
sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to
Abraham,
Ishmael, Jacob and the tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron and Solomon,
and to
David We gave the Psalms.” (Sura 4:163)
THE
GOSPEL: “It us He Who sent down to thee (step by
step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He
sent down
the law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a
guide to
mankind, and he sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and
wrong)”
(Sura 3:3)… also
“And
in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law
that had
come before him: We
sent him the Gospel: therein was
guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that
has come before him: a guidance and admonition to those that fear
Allah.” (Sura
5:46)
We see that the Qur’an states
that the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel were all given by God … and with
this, we Christians heartily agree. But, the Muslims claim that the Bible is
corrupted and full of contradictions.
But if that is so, then it would seem
they do not believe the Qur’an, since the Qur’an says that the Word of God
cannot be altered:
1. “Rejected
were the messengers
before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and
their
wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that
can alter
the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received
some
account of those messengers,” (Sura 6:34).
2. “The
word of thy Lord doth
find its fulfillment in truth and in justice: None can change His
words:
for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all,” (Sura 6:115).
3. “For them are
glad tidings, in
the life of the present and in the Hereafter; no change can there
be in the
words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme felicity,” (Sura
10:64)
When Muhammed
(570-632) was alive, he claimed to receive the
revelation of the Qu’ran from Allah.
This
means that at that time the Bible, which was in existence, could not have
been corrupted because the Qu’ran states that God’s word cannot be corrupted.
The question
I have for the Muslims is as follows:
“When and
where was the Bible corrupted since the Qu’ran says that
the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel are from Allah and Allah’s words
cannot
be changed?”
Your average
Muslim is only repeating what he has
been told and may find it difficult to answer the following.
YOUR GENTLE
QUESTIONS ARE … never argue
1. “When the
Koran
was written, why would it endorse the Christian Bible, as it does, if
the Bible
was corrupted?”
2. “Why is there
no
mention in the Koran that the Christian Bible was corrupted?”
3. “Why would
the
Koran speak about the Christian Bible in positive terms if it was
corrupted?”
4. “Why did it
take
till AD 1000 for Islam to come to this conclusion … that the Christian
Bible
was corrupted?”
5. “Who
corrupted
the Christian Bible?”
6. “At what
point
was the Christian Bible corrupted and why?”
HASN’T
THE BIBLE BEEN CORRUPTED OR CHANGED?
The reason
this question is asked is
because when Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was preaching
between 610
and 632 AD (AD means after Christ), he claimed his new Quran was
identical
to the Bible.
After
Muhammad’s death, Muslim
scholars came into contact with the Bible for the first time.
When they read
the Bible, they
discovered a huge problem in that the Bible and the Quran contradicted
each
other.
They began to
argue that the Bible had
been changed and altered, hence the differences … however, this was not
the case
The book of
Isaiah, written around 700BC, was
found in a cave near the Dead Sea, and it had been perfectly
preserved …
word for word.
Today, The
King James Bible,
also called The Authorized Bible, agrees word for word with the
Dead Sea
Isaiah scroll.
In fact, all
the books of the Old
Testament were written a long time before Muhammad … with the
last one
being Malachi around 420BC.
Their big
Misunderstanding
is
that the Qu’ran
supercedes … that is … was written before the
Old Testament and the New Testament … it
was written after.
Follow this
up with the following:
1. If you died
tonight, where will you spend eternity – heaven or hell?
2. Heaven? Why
would God let you in?
3. May I show
you what the Bible says about all this?
The Christian
gospel is very simple:
All other
religions say heaven you get to heaven by
good works.
Christianity
is the only religion that says … “It
has nothing to do with our works.”
“For by grace
are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not
of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Christ has
shed his blood for our sins
… “…for without the shedding of blood there is no remission of
sins.”
(Hebrews 9:22
