No, he did not approve of the copies that were in circulation during his life time.

I found the below in the Quran, and it ONLY tells me that the TORAH and GOSPEL are valid as God will judge the Jews and the Christians respectively by them.

QURAN 5: 46 -48 ( Version: Sahih International)
46 And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.

47 And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.

48 And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.

. . . . and that the 'Books' were already with the Jews and the Christians (as at the time of Mohammed and the writing of the Quran)

QURAN 4: 47 (Version: Muhsin Khan)
O you who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad SAW) confirming what is (already) with you , before We efface faces (by making them like the back of necks; without nose, mouth, eyes, etc.) and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. And the Commandment of Allah is always executed.

I did not find anything in the Quran that says that that the 'Torah and Gospel' that the Quran refers to as what 'God will judge the people of the Book by' and that which 'was already with them' have been corrupted.
[/Quote]You have to admit that the verses above spoke to Muhammad (AS), first, about the time of Moses as in the revelation time of the Torah. Then about the time of Jesus as in the revelation time of the Inji, the Gospel if you will. When these noble men were alive, first Moses, the Torah that was being given to him have to be perfect, and pristine because he was there to guide it and use it to judge the children of Israel. The case must be what happened to Jesus when he was alive to guide and use the Gospel and what he knew as the truth from what the Jews had, disregarding their "handmade by the pen of the scribes" to judge and guide. Now fast forward to verse 4;47. Allah now addressed the two people with previous revelations, Jews and Christians about a man and the latest revelation he has (AS), from the same God. Just like it was wrong for Jews to ignore Jesus, and stubbornly stick with Moses during the time of Jesus, it is now wrong just the same to stubbornly stick with Moses by Jews still, and Jesus by Christians, ignoring the present Messenger (AS) with them. This is a t the time of revelation of Quran. Now, since Allah says in Surah Azhab that Prophethood has ended with Muhammad (AS), we do not expect any religion as God says in Surah Maidah that He has Perfected the Only religion for mankind, and by it a favor from Him all under Muhammad, and whoever brings another religion, it will not be accepted, followership of Muhammad by Quran, Sunnah and Authentic Hadith therefore is expected from all, especially those who are aware that revelations used to come from God to man messenger (AS) for guidance of man; communities, etc.

Allah says, to show that Jews and Christians have erred, and their books have been corrupted gave many ayah in the Quran and my brothers who have responded to you have stated many. I will like you to read verse 12 to 15 of Surah Maidah. You will see that Allah says in them that Jews hide the truth, so do the christians. The hiding began sometimes before succeeding prophet came after the previous one. After Moses and before Jesus (AS), the Jews hid the truth. ANd it is by this that Jesus said the false pen of the scribes thing in your NT. From the same NT we see that post Jesus, suddenly Jesus became a God, while he said himself that he was a servant sent, among being powerless. We also see gospels argued out or preached by the likes of Paul whereby Jesus became what you Seyibrown have swallowed, whole. Again, the bible is the worst enemy of the bible. By the above what God will Judge believers at the time of Mose with will be the Pure Torah before the scribes used their pen to mark it all up; trashing it, hiding the truth. What God will Judge believers at the time of Jesus will the Pure Gospel before we have the scribes (Paul, the council of Necea, etc, King James later later) used their own formula of pen to mark it all up, trashing it, hiding the truth just like the Jews.


[1. Have you got any scriptural proof that the 'Torah and Gospel' as referred to above as being valid before God WERE DISAPPROVED BY MOHAMMED? Please provide them. I will prefer proof from the Quran over proof from an Hadith given the number of times Muslims have told us of the unreliabilty of certain Hadiths on NL![quote][/Quote]Allah says that He revealed Torah to Moses, and Gospel to Jesus. What other proofs do you need? It was the Torah or Injil before the scribes got their hands on it after each prophet left his community. Or Seyi will say that the scribes didnt play on Taurah of Moses, as Jesus complained or that there was nothing written in the NT that Jesus didnt have any part of? The Torah and Injil that has input of scribes are corrupt; Allah will always disapprove corruption. You seyi even disapprove corruption. Thats a fact.



[Quote]2. Please provide Quranic proof that the Torah and Gospel (that God will judge Jews and Christians by) as referred to in the scripture above was the 'corrupted' ones, or provide Quranic proof to show that the scripture refers to the 'uncorrupted' ones.[/Quote]Seyi goes back and forth, thinking that she can bamboozoo us. There, as above response, some children of Israel, of the time of Moses shall be judged by what was given to Moses. Those who shall find favor of God by it will certainly be Moses, Aaron, Joshua to name obvious few. Those who wil find disaster by it will include those leader who constructed the yahweh of golden calf (i use yahweh so that the christian may know that it simply means the lord and the calf was the lord then). In today's jewish Torah which is now corrupt, God will also judge them by it for sticking on corruption, from the time corruption entered it, all the way passing Jesus era because they refused to come to him, just as they refuse to come to Muhammad (AS) then and now. Apply this same process to Christianity and Injil. Truth at time t or dt is always constant, 1 truth, without any version but original truth. This is Islam of the Prophets, ending with Muhammad (AS).



[Quote]3. Please provide proof, Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the contents of the 'corrupted' books SIGNIFICANTLY distort the message of the original books, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.[/Quote}Allah says of the Jews they called Uzair son of God. And the Christians say that Jesus son of Mary (son of Mary it is identified) as son of God. Allah says that they lied that God does not need any child, everything being His creation. Allah says they should stop saying these horrible things. ANd the christinas to desist about Trinity (Please read Surah Maidah) You can read verses 4 and 5of Surah Kahf too, where Allah spoke about the liars who said evil thing that Allah has a son. The original Torah and Gospel said that God is 1 and everything else is His servant, created. Jesus said he was servant as you can read in your Bible, stating further that he was powerless, unable to do anything by himself. He and I both, just the Messengers (AS)) and Prophets (AS).



[Quote]4.  Please, also provide Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the 'corruption of the originals' ONLY as you have found and provided in answer to Q3 above are to the extent that adherents of the books abide by rules that cause them to live contrary God's commandments, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.[/Quote]Go back to the above and your answer lies in there. By the way no practicing Jew believes that God Who created everything somehow found it necessary to go into a woman's belly and be cocooned there for 9 months and then came out weak like every human child. Needed mom's breasts and after all of that ran away, docking from being killed and finally his fortune ran out, got hung. It just doesnt add up in the mind of normal people. AM sure your holy ghost told you differently; climbing up on a woman, overshadowing her, is like a plan for holiness.



[Quote]5. Please provide proof (Quranic) as to whether the 'Books' had been corrupted AS AT THE TIME the 'revelation of the Quran' was given to Mohammed or the 'writing of the Quran' OR that they were corrupted AFTER the 'revelation' and 'writing' of the Quran.[/Quote]The idea of trinity was already estalished, and Quran spoke against it. Go to Surah Al Maidah.



[Quote]PLEASE REMEMBER TO AVOID as much as possible ANY DODGY HADITHS THAT CONTRADICT THE QURAN in answering the above. Proof outside the Quran should preferably be REFERENCED so as to allow participants and spectators to be able to examine the contents and the credibility of the originators.
Thanks in advance.[/Quote]The brothers did excellent job. Hopefully, something good will come out of these.

seyibrown counters:

I did not find anything in the Quran that says that that the 'Torah and Gospel' that the Quran refers to as what 'God will judge the people of the Book by' and that which 'was already with them' have been corrupted.



PROOF REQUESTED AND PROOF PRESENTED

[b]
1. Have you got any scriptural proof that the 'Torah and Gospel' as referred to above as being valid before God WERE DISAPPROVED BY MOHAMMED? Please provide them. I will prefer proof from the Quran over proof from an Hadith given the number of times Muslims have told us of the unreliabilty of certain Hadiths on NL!

In summary,
tbaba1234 : Does not confirm or deny Mohammed's disapproval.

sweetnecta: Torah was valid at the time of Moses; Injil valid at the time of Jesus. Quran contains Allah's words; Mohammed's opinions are found in the Hadiths and is not valid where it contradicts the Quran. If Mohammed did disapprove of the Torah and Injil in circulation during his lifetime, this opinion will be expressed in an Hadith. Sweetnecta does not deny or confirm Mohammed's disapproval and does not point us in the direction of any Hadith that states Mohammed's opinion.

LagosShia : Does not confirm or deny Mohammed's disapproval.

vedaxcool : States that seyibrown's desire to see proof is 'meaningless'. Quran has authorized the hadiths, and Hadith scolars took time authenticating 'true hadiths'. He then rounds up with the unreferenced quote:
And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby


2. Please provide Quranic proof that the Torah and Gospel (that God will judge Jews and Christians by) as referred to in the scripture above was the 'corrupted' ones, or provide Quranic proof to show that the scripture refers to the 'uncorrupted' ones.

In summary,
tbaba1234 : From # 15 and # 22, he categorically states that Allah reveals that the revelations in the 'books' before the Quran had been traded for a price. The 'books' therefore, had been corrupted BEFORE the Quran was revealed, and the Torah and Gospel as we know today are not the ORIGINALS, have been altered to suit the corrupters desires, and are full of contradictions. He supports this with  Quran 4:82; Quran 2:79; 2:174; Quran 3:187; Quran 4:44. (Please visit Quran.com for full text or see posts # 15 and 22).

sweetnecta: 'After Moses and the arrival of Jesus', the Jews 'hid' the truth; and Jesus, who said he was only a servant, was 'suddenly' made into a God after his death by the likes of Paul. He says Jesus warned of 'the pen of the scribes'. Jews will be judged by the 'PURE TORAH' and Christians by the 'PURE INJIL'. Allah shows that the 'books' have been corrupted and he provides Quran 5: 12 - 15 in support.

LagosShia :  He agrees with (and copies) http://shabirally.com/line_of_oct23.php that, the Quran does not 'approve the 'gospels' as they are'. Applying the article to the question asked, I find it is says that the Quran only approves of 'what God revealed in the Gospel' making a presumption that the 'Gospel' referred to is that which was revealed to Jesus, and not the 'gospels' (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)as we have today, and in essence, the scripture which forms part of the background for this question, refers to the 'UNCORRUPTED' GOSPEL (that was revealed to Jesus Christ). The article quotes Quran 2:79 and 9:30 in support of Jewish and Christian 'delusion from the truth'.

vedaxcool : As a condition to providing proof as requested above, he asks for proof of the 'gospel' that 'Jesus authored' and will not accept gospels from 'anonymous authors'.

3. Please provide proof, Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the contents of the 'corrupted' books SIGNIFICANTLY distort the message of the original books, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.

In summary,
tbaba1234 : I quote him : " First of all, For the Old Testament only late manuscripts survive, all (with the exception of the Dead Sea Texts of Isaiah and Habakkuk and some fragments of other books) based on a standardized form of the text established many centuries after the books were written. MEANING WE CAN'T EVEN GET THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS OF THE BOOKS".  He quotes Quran 4:82 to support that contradictions found in the Bible means it does not originate from Allah, and cites ABUNDANTLY in post # 22 'contradictions and inaccuracies' within the Bible. Unfortunately, as he agrees, there is no ORIGINAL to compare these with. In post # 15, he also posts from http://www.islam4all.com/alteration.htm numerous 'alterations' in the Old Testament. The article claims there are three versions of the Old testament, the Hebrew, Greek and Samaritan versions and that there are differences in the total number of books, and that the Samaritan version includes ' additonal phrases and sentences' not present in the Hebrew version, and is accepted by many protestant scholars and theologians over the Hebrew version as they believe it has been distorted by the Jews. The article compares the three versions (the distorted hebrew, the greek and the samaritan) in light of the 'alterations' but does not compare this 'alterations' to what is available in the ORIGINAL.

sweetnecta: From post # 33, submits that Allah says that the Jews and Christians have corrupted the 'books'. Emphasis is on the 'lie' of the doctrine of trinity which contradicts the ORIGINAL Torah and Gospel view that there is only one God.He refers us to Quran 18: 4 - 5. In post # 19, h H is of the opinion that the Jews and Christians continued to hold on to the CORRUPTED books in arrogance when the 'Quran with a live prophet was with them'.he argues that Jesus either acclaimed to be 'God' or 'the servant of God' and cannot be both, and therefore, one of the claims is correct and the other is a 'distortion. In either post, he however does not provide texts from the ORIGINAL for COMPARISON with the CORRUPTED (both claims of servanthood and Godhood are present in the 'Corrupted' that is in circulation today).

LagosShia : In post # 24 is extracted from http://www.why-christians-convert-to-islam.com/. The article presents Quran 4:46; 2:75; 3:78; 3:187; 2:146; 3:71; 5:72 and 5:13 -18 in to show that the Quran does talk of the distortion/corruption of previous revelations by the followers. In post # 25, the article says that the Injil IS NOT the New Testament and the Torah IS NOT the Old Testament. The testaments contain other elements in addition to the Injil and the Torah. The Testaments consequently contain 'the infallible word of God', 'the words of Prophets'  and 'the words of fallible man' (this categorisation forming the bulk of the Bible), with appropriate examples cited (e.g Isaiah 43:11; Matthew 12:29 and Mark 11:13). In post 26, the article credits the first 10 books of the NT to named authors and considers the remaining 17 books as written by anonymous authors. The article goes into more detail about the 'evolution' of the NT and presents 2 'creeds' to show that the trinity doctrine was not part of the ORIGINAL gospel, and also holds the view that many 'UNORIGINAL' elements were introduced. It also states that the 'beliefs' of the pre-fourth century christians REMAINS A MYSTERY. The article does not present any ORIGINAL MATEIRALS for the 'misguided 20th Century Christian' to compare the 'REVISED/CORRUPTED' NT with. The article rounds up that the Quran, in contrast, is teh direct words of God, 'has no errors, miraculously agrees with science', was only recorded by one man and has not been modified/corrupted in any way.

vedaxcool : In answer, he requests that certain 'ridiculous' passages (of "biblical impossibilty"wink be deleted from the Bible before 'they' can 'take it serious'.


4.  Please, also provide Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the 'corruption of the originals' ONLY as you have found and provided in answer to Q3 above are to the extent that adherents of the books abide by rules that cause them to live contrary God's commandments, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.

In summary,
tbaba1234 : Again agrees that as in 3 above, the ORIGINAL manuscripts cannot be found but states the doctrine of trinity as a deviation from God's commandments given 'oneness of God is evidenced' by the prophets and the 'books' (original or corrupt??). He also quotes the Exodus 22 :25-27 and Leviticus 25:37 (ON USURY, from the corrupted) confirmed by Quran 3:130 as another area of Jewish/Christian deviation from God's commandment contrary to what is stated in the ORIGINAL books.

sweetnecta: Trinity doctrine is a deviation from God's commandments. He believes it is impossible that God found it necessary to be birthed by a woman and, try not to be killed, and finally get crucified, and that 'Holy' Ghost does not 'climb on a woman'. No ORIGINAL to compare the deviation in the CORRUPTED with.

LagosShia : The only 'deviation' I found in the article posted is that of the 'trinitarian doctrine' as a later introduction that was never part of the ORIGINAL books. The ORIGINALS again are not provided for comparison.

vedaxcool : I quote his 'straightforward' answer in full : "You like repeating yourself in the hope that falsehood becomes truth".



5. Please provide proof (Quranic) as to whether the 'Books' had been corrupted AS AT THE TIME the 'revelation of the Quran' was given to Mohammed or the 'writing of the Quran' OR that they were corrupted AFTER the 'revelation' and 'writing' of the Quran.

In summary,
tbaba1234 : Allah reveals that the pre-quranic revelations had been traded.
sweetnecta: Books were already corrupted as at the time of the revelation of the Quran. The trinity doctrine was already established and the Quran spoke against it.

LagosShia : Can conclude from article posted that the 'Books' were already corrupted as at the time of the revelation of the Quran as 'distortions' were introduced into the books in the 4th Century.

vedaxcool : Claims to have 'shown how the church threw away certain books' to "streamline their views with the Bible" (I did not find this claim to have been 'shown' in his any of his five answers).


Thanks for all contributions. I am certain that readers can arrive at a conclusion on whether there is proof that the bible/gospel/torah in circulation today has indeed been corrupted and is different from the originals.[/b]

Re: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by vedaxcool(m): 8:43am On Dec 09, 2010
"O Apostle! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be)[size=18pt] among those who say "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie,- will listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their (right) times and places: they say[/size], 'If ye are given this, take it, but if not, beware!' If any one's trial is intended by God, thou hast no authority in the least for him against God. For such - it is not God's will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.  (The Noble Quran, 5:41)"


Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."
5:13 But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind.
5:14 From those, too, who call themselves[b] Christians,[/b] We did take a covenant, [size=18pt]but they forgot a good part of the message [/size]that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.
5:15 O people of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary): There hath come to you from Allah a (new) light and a perspicuous Book, -
5:16 Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and[b] leadeth them out of darkness[/b], by His will, unto the light,- guideth them to a path that is straight.
5:17 In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say:[b] "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? [/b]For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."

Now, seyi, this verses clearly indiate that you and your Christian and Jewish Cohorts have forgoten good parts of what was revealed and the jews were involved in the dislocation of the Bible "  made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message"
Hence this is an indication of the corruption we are talking about. And like I said the Qur'an Obviously was reffering to legal injuctions found in the bible and hence this does not in any way refer to the Bull Crap we find in the Bible. On Tuersday on a trip, I had the pleasure of discussing with a Christian Elder, we chatted from one topic to another till we got to the issue of the religion, He Categorically told me that God did not fathered Jesus and instead he understood the word Begotten, as meaning Being the primary Cause of the existence of Jesus, in any case he said I should tell people like you that you are misconcieving the real Jesus. But like I have taken answered you question, let me see the Gynastics you would trow. grin

A Hadith that supports the corruption of the Bible: Narrated Ubaidullah:  "Ibn 'Abbas said, "Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book (Quran) which has been revealed to Allah's Apostle is newer and the latest? You read it pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the[b[size=18pt]] people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, 'It is from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain[/size][/b]. Does not the knowledge which has come to you prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!"  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah, Volume 9, Book 92, Number 461)"

This collaborate what the Qur'an says woe unto those that write a scripture with their hands and traffic with it a miserawble Price. Now this hadith cannot in any way be contradicting the Qur'an since it asserts what the Qur'an says. like I said I DEY LAUGH!


Seyi as for your Summary, you did not realy surprise me in any of the falshood you ranted, A chief reason I gave was simple, i ask where did the Qur'an talks of Paul? I ask where did the Qur'an talks of Mathew, Mark or Luke? The Qur'an speaks of giving the gospels to Jesus, but what like I said you did not suprise me as I have long before now detected significant levels of dishonesty in dealing with you. Your summary is not only self serving but an indication of your dishonesty, who are you to leave out what people say? Is this the Purpose of this thread? to show us how you can win an arguement/discusion by overlooking daming evidence? Just keep it Up. As I find it a strong evidence of the falsness of the path you follow.

Your summary is not only self serving but an indication of your dishonesty, who are you to leave out what people say? Is this the Purpose of this thread? to show us how you can win an arguement/discusion by overlooking daming evidence? Just keep it Up. As I find it a strong evidence of the falsness of the path you follow.

[b]vedaxcool,

Thank you for the COMPLIMENTS! It's a shame you are not happy with the summary I gave in post # 35 on your responses. I only wish you had 'DEFENDED' your 'OPINIONS' by actually ANSWERING the questions posed instead of LAUGHING! You basically contributed 'nothing'. How do you think your responses CLARIFIED your position or that of Islam? The only question that other 3 contributors could not really provide an answer for was the one that arose from your careless and unfounded assertion that 'Mohammed did not approve of the copies that were around during his lifetime'. You absconded for a while only to come back when more diligent Muslims had put answers in defence of what you started.

Next time, try to CONVINCE non-believers by presenting Quranic proof in support of your views instead of LAUGHING your embarassment away while other Muslims are presenting arguments in favour of teh Islamic point of view!

Thanks for your 'CONTRIBUTION'(wastage of valuable bandwith) anyway!  grin  grin

I still dey laugh! poor woman, you see the futility of being Ignorant!

You are always welcomed as more of such compliments will follow if you do not desist from your Lies and habit of bending he truth

Obviously you are either blind or just not better than a lying maggot in the street! Like I said dishonesty is one of your pillars of faith, being dishonest has left you blind to the truth. I have clearly showed you verses in the Qur'an that categorically states that Christians and Jews have either forgotten or bent the message-Like you are doing in this thread-- remember you wrote still editing but came out with no new points to support your assertions, rather a poor defense for your falsehood again for the records let me quote the verses that exposes the Gospels and Torah for what it really is:
vedaxcool:

"O Apostle! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be)[size=18pt] among those who say "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie,- will listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their (right) times and places: they say[/size], 'If ye are given this, take it, but if not, beware!' If any one's trial is intended by God, thou hast no authority in the least for him against God. For such - it is not God's will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.  (The Noble Quran, 5:41)"


Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."
[size=18pt]5:13 But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind.[/size]
[size=18pt]5:14 From those, too, who call themselves[b] Christians,[/b] We did take a covenant, [size=18pt]but they forgot a good part of the message [/size]that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.[/size]

Hadith evidence--

A Hadith that supports the corruption of the Bible: Narrated Ubaidullah:  "Ibn 'Abbas said, "Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book (Quran) which has been revealed to Allah's Apostle is newer and the latest? You read it pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the[b[size=18pt]] people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, 'It is from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain[/size][/b]. Does not the knowledge which has come to you prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!"  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah, Volume 9, Book 92, Number 461)"
[size=18pt][color=#000099][b]


Verse 2:79
Yusuf Ali:
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.




I AM STILL LAUGHING OH!
Again showing Your dishonest Nature all this verses eluded your sight, Poor you, a victim of faith by desperation indeed!
Re: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by vedaxcool(m): 7:43pm On Dec 09, 2010
Seyi why you Log out Now, abi this thread don dey hot. grin grin

The following Question arises:

1. Do you agree that with the responses given,that the Qur'an not only asserts that the bible is corrupted but also a contains the conjecture of men?

2. With the responses given can we say confidently that you agree with the Qur'an that the bible is corrupt? a forgery and at best the displaced words of God by the hand of men.

3. We read strange comments in the bible such as the geneeaology of Jesus whom you contradictinly claim is the son of God? I dey Laugh, but at the same time give him human fathers? how is that to be? why the Somersaulting.
? this is verse gives us the a strange situation by making it possible that the whole of Humanity is nbot more than 6000 years old? what a grave faslehood? pls we need answer not Gynastics.

4. Jesus was reported to have said in the bible emphatically, I do not know the day of judgment, the question is was he lying or telling the truth? since you claim that he is lord and all powers are given unto him, then can we conclude that such claims are either Lies or just smear campaign against his person? Remember you claim he could give life to the dead and died to save the world, but yet we find him admitting to Ignorance, now that is ungodly?

5. Can you point were exactly Jesus said worship and I am God?

6. If Jesus is Lord auzobillah, then why should he refer to himself as being a servant of God? Aren't you lying on his head because he is not here to defend his name?

this are just a tip of the ice burg.
Re: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by seyibrown(f): 9:22pm On Dec 09, 2010
vedxacool,

I think it will be fair to let other Christians answer the questions you raised before I do (if I need to add any points).

You added post # 36 after contributions to the questions were closed and then you accuse me of being dishonest. Don't blame me for mistakes you made, please. Your post # 31 as quoted below did not adequately address the questions posed and would have got you 5 out of 100 in an exam (just for putting pen to paper).



vedaxcool:

I found the below in the Quran, and it ONLY tells me that the TORAH and GOSPEL are valid as God will judge the Jews and the Christians respectively by them.
[size=18pt]
I dey Laugh!
[/size]

QURAN 5: 46 -48 ( Version: Sahih International)
46 And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.

Pls Point to the Gospel, which of them is according to Jesus, as the Qur'an says we gave Jesus son of Mary the gospel, all I read in the Gospel according to mathew accd to luke, I have no business with this anonymous authors, Only with Jesus whom ALLAH dealt with. As for the torah When You and the Jews made it possible for a prophet to sleep with his own daughter and faced no consequence, any with common sense will reject such a bull for a book of ALLAH, and again we read in the Torah, Moses died in the land of Moab, he WAS SO and so years old, the question is can a dead man write his own obituary? absolutely no, then common sense dictate that some one wrote part of those books. when we say he did not approve of those spurious books,we mean the ones in circulation during his time.
Can you point where the Qur'an spoke about Paul? So we do need to swindle by unsuspecting people who accept just about anything that falls from the mouth of a liar.






47 And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.

So which laws where reveal in the Gospel?


48 And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.



This simply assert what we Muslims have been saying that is there are some truths to be found in this books, but frudulent individual have placed their words in them, and more so there was a time when Christians read from gospels such gospel of thomas, gospel of Nazarenes, etc but what happened? the church authorities simply decided this and that are the aord of God and hence we shall follow them. The Qur'an again wwas asserting that injuction such as common social ethos found in the Gospel/torah are to be followed since there are consistent in some way to the Qur'an injuctions

. . . . and that the 'Books' were already with the Jews and the Christians (as at the time of Mohammed and the writing of the Quran)

Just answered above

QURAN 4: 47 (Version: Muhsin Khan)
O you who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad SAW) confirming what is (already) with you , before We efface faces (by making them like the back of necks; without nose, mouth, eyes, etc.) and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. And the Commandment of Allah is always executed.




I did not find anything in the Quran that says that that the 'Torah and Gospel' that the Quran refers to as what 'God will judge the people of the Book by' and that which 'was already with them' have been corrupted.

Because certain rules and injuction are consistent with the Qur'an, like we read about the ten commandments in the torah hence this are what are consistent with Qur'an, as always asserted by Muslims devine reelation follow a similar stream of do's and don'ts. but the koko is that you guys have been slash them because they do not follow your preconceived blasphemy such as Jesus is Lord notions. and didn't the Qur;an say:
[b]
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.

1. Have you got any scriptural proof that the 'Torah and Gospel' as referred to above as being valid before God WERE DISAPPROVED BY MOHAMMED? Please provide them. I will prefer proof from the Quran over proof from an Hadith given the number of times Muslims have told us of the unreliabilty of certain Hadiths on NL!

Your preference of one evidence over another is as meaningless as a goat's bleating,as the Qur'an has authorized the hadiths Hadith scolars took time to to authenticate true hadiths,it is Just like saying do not quote any of the Gospel unless the one Jesus authored shekena. and Like the Qur'an says
[b]


And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.[/b]

2. Please provide Quranic proof that the Torah and Gospel (that God will judge Jews and Christians by) as referred to in the scripture above was the 'corrupted' ones, or provide Quranic proof to show that the scripture refers to the 'uncorrupted' ones.

When you show me proof of the gospel Jesus authored then I will answer you but as long as you quote some anonylous authors Ba ruwana!



3. Please provide proof, Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the contents of the 'corrupted' books SIGNIFICANTLY distort the message of the original books, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.

You will have to delete ridiculous passages from the bible for us to take it serious, really like the verse that makes a son older than his father and other contradictory verses like the genealogy of Jesus where Joseph is Given two fathers, an biblical impossibility.


4. Please, also provide Quranic (and Historical outside the Quran, if available) that the 'corruption of the originals' ONLY as you have found and provided in answer to Q3 above are to the extent that adherents of the books abide by rules that cause them to live contrary God's commandments, and cite instances from the ORIGINALS in comparison with the CORRUPTED.


You like repeating yourself in the hope that falsehood becomes truth.



5. Please provide proof (Quranic) as to whether the 'Books' had been corrupted AS AT THE TIME the 'revelation of the Quran' was given to Mohammed or the 'writing of the Quran' OR that they were corrupted AFTER the 'revelation' and 'writing' of the Quran.

I have shown you how certain books where thrown away by the church in a bid to streamline their views with the Bible. I donot really have time now but know that I will be back with answers and questions, Know that if you start your mouth Gymnastics in this thread then I will follow suit.


Rather than address the questions, you were being cheeky. Your effort did not score any points for Islam, ask your fellow Muslims. They made considerable effort to counter my arguments, YOU did not, and are now blaming ME for YOUR poor effort.

TRY TO DO ISLAM PROUD NEXT TIME! If you cannot stand the heat in this kitchen, please, do a runner and give us space to have intelligent and civil debates in here!

seyibrown:

vedaxcool's questions as below are thrown to the Xtians in the House. Thanks!


There are places in the bible where human conjecture is openly stated to be so.  For instance Paul's teachings on marriage. 
1 Corinthians 7: 25-31, 36-40
Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. I think that, in view of the impending crisis, it is well for you to remain as you are. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But if you marry, you do not sin, and if a virgin marries, she does not sin. Yet those who marry will experience distress in this life, and I would spare you that. I mean, brothers and sisters, the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had none, and those who mourn as thought they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no possessions, and those who deal with the world as thought they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.

Paul did not claim that what he was saying here was authoritative scripture.  Yet some christians will take it as such just because it is in the bible.  Paul openly states that he is giving his own personal opinion.  What is more, the personal opinion that he is giving is in direct contradiction to the command of God which is to 'go forth and multiply'. 

Furthermore, the entire premise of his advice in this letter was misguided and unfounded.  Paul obviously believed that the return of Jesus was eminent and the world was about to end and in that light he thought 'what's the point of marrying and having children when the world is about to end'.  He was wrong.  Very wrong. And this also has implications for the pentecostal doctrine called the Rapture.

There are so many other things that Paul talks about that I simply think are misguided.  Advising a runaway slave to return to his master is one such advice that I object to . . . amongst others.   

As regards what might be the original gospel (or injil as the moslems call it) it is clear that there were teachings of Jesus in circulation during the early days of christianity.  Whether Jesus wrote these teachings down himself or whether they were passed on orally I can't say.  But they were most definitely referred to in history and also even within the new testament itself.

They are often called the Logia of Christ.  That is greek for the Sayings of Christ. 

Papias of Heiropolis made reference to them in his book Expositions of the Oracles of the Lord.  That book was obviously a commentary on the 'the original gospel of Christ'.
Papias (Greek: Παπίας) (working in the first half of the 2nd century) was one of the early leaders of the Christian church, canonized as a saint. Eusebius of Caesarea calls him "Bishop of Hierapolis" (modern Pamukkale, Turkey) which is 22 km from Laodicea and near Colossae (see Col. 4:13), in the Lycus river valley in Phrygia, Asia Minor, not to be confused with the Hierapolis of Syria.
His Interpretations of the Sayings of the Lord (his word for "sayings" is logia) in five books, would have been a prime early authority in the exegesis of the sayings of Jesus, some of which are recorded in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, however the book has not survived and is known only through fragments quoted in later writers, with neutral approval in Irenaeus's Against Heresies and later by Eusebius in Ecclesiastical History, the earliest surviving history of the early Church.
Papias describes his way of gathering information:
I will not hesitate to add also for you to my interpretations what I formerly learned with care from the Presbyters and have carefully stored in memory, giving assurance of its truth. For I did not take pleasure as the many do in those who speak much, but in those who teach what is true, nor in those who relate foreign precepts, but in those who relate the precepts which were given by the Lord to the faith and came down from the Truth itself. And also if any follower of the Presbyters happened to come, I would inquire for the sayings of the Presbyters, what Andrew said, or what Peter said, or what Philip or what Thomas or James or what John or Matthew or any other of the Lord's disciples, and for the things which other of the Lord's disciples, and for the things which Aristion and the Presbyter John, the disciples of the Lord, were saying. For I considered that I should not get so much advantage from matter in books as from the voice which yet lives and remains.
Thus Papias reports he heard things that came from an unwritten, oral tradition of the Presbyters, a "sayings" or logia tradition that had been passed from Jesus to such of the apostles and disciples as he mentions in the fragmentary quote. The scholar Helmut Koester considers him the earliest surviving witness of this tradition.[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papias_of_Hierapolis

Proof that these logia of Christ were in circulation can be found in the book of Acts chapter 20:35.  Paul is about to go on a journey and he says this:
35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

This particular logion: It is more blessed to give than to receive, is not to be found in any of the 4 gospels.  That shows that there were teachings of Jesus that were omitted from the writing of the gospels.  Those teachings were going around and most christians would have had access to them.  Again, either in written form or via oral tradition. 

Also the non-canonical gospel of Thomas contains many logia that are found in the other gospels as well as many logia that are not found in any of the other gospels.  Furthermore it seems to suggest a tradition of christian practice where salvation is achieved when one is able to grasp the true meaning of the logia.

Good attempt, Paul was a Jesus hater no doubt, whose only evidence of credibility is his own account on the road to Damascus. More strange is his audacity to contradict Jesus at will without any atom of respect, due to the fact that the so called gospels were not in existence when Paul was alive.

I still dey Laugh!
Re: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by PastorAIO: 2:55pm On Dec 10, 2010
What do you mean, 'the so-called gospels were not in existence when Paul was alive'. Jesus died before Paul and Jesus brought the gospel so how can the gospel not be in existence when Paul was alive.
Re: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by Sweetnecta: 4:29pm On Dec 10, 2010
^^^^^^ According to you in the post before, you said that the Gospel of Jesus, as a logion was not complete in the Logia (gospels) in the Bible/ You states a verse in the Acts to demonstrate this, and even mentioned Logion of Thomas, as well.

In all of these above, and specifically the for that are now canons, we know that something is still missing from the Gospel of Jesus, or added to the Gospel of Jesus.

You definitely know that a man who says he is a servant can be the sired and the only sired son of the same entity he is a slave, servant to.

Its not like being an ifa priest and a pastor at the same time. The people may be concern to get wacked with ifa or bible if they say anything.

That is not the case when it comes to Almighty. True believers will doubt a man who says he is God's servant to be God's son. Why would God need son.

You are totally incoherent. I don't see how anything you've said above pertains to anything that I have said. Please explain.

And by the way, Logion is simply a saying. Logia means sayings. Or, if you like, utterances. Logion is the singular and Logia is the plural. The books of Matthew mark luke and john and also thomas are not the logia, but they contain logia. Do you understand that?

What do you mean, 'the so-called gospels were not in existence when Paul was alive'. Jesus died before Paul and Jesus brought the gospel so how can the gospel not be in existence when Paul was alive.

I refer to the gospels of Mark, mathew, Luke and John
Re: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by PastorAIO: 5:59pm On Dec 10, 2010
The Gospels of Matt mark luke and john might not have been around but the teachings of Jesus were. They were probably passed on in an oral tradition. I don't think that they were written down. And many christians would have been aware of some of them if not all. Remembering that at that time the literacy level was low amongst the lower classes of the Roman empire.
Re: Truth, Fabrications, Or Fallacies? by vedaxcool(m): 12:04pm On Dec 11, 2010

They were definately not aroud agreed that oral tradition were around but note that might be oe of the reasons that Paul perpetualy Contradicted Jesus at several instances since there was no authorotative book to be reffered to. just a theory though.

But more important is that why would any body take the words of Paul to be any close to the truth, since he was an avowed enemy of Christ?

Even altered sef, you will have to show the original that it was altered from. Or at least demonstrate where and how the current copies are altered.

I gratefully accept your charity, because I'm not going to answer your questions item by item. I believe that what I posted covered most of the questions.

^^^^^^ According to you in the post before, you said that the Gospel of Jesus, as a logion was not complete in the Logia (gospels) in the Bible/ You states a verse in the Acts to demonstrate this, and even mentioned Logion of Thomas, as well.

In all of these above, and specifically the for that are now canons, we know that something is still missing from the Gospel of Jesus, or added to the Gospel of Jesus.

You definitely know that a man who says he is a servant can be the sired and the only sired son of the same entity he is a slave, servant to.

Its not like being an ifa priest and a pastor at the same time. The people may be concern to get wacked with ifa or bible if they say anything.

That is not the case when it comes to Almighty. True believers will doubt a man who says he is God's servant to be God's son. Why would God need son.

You are totally incoherent.
[/Quote]Sure. But if it is Ifa chanting, you bet I would have been coherent, regardless of how silly it is.




[QUote] I don't see how anything you've said above pertains to anything that I have said. Please explain.[.Quote]Is the Bible corrupt? Do you know what it means to be corrupt, in the matter of what a person originally said versus what he was later reported to have said? Is the NT corrupt? That was the question, before you jumped right in. Is like your Amala and the Amala remix threads. Many responded somewhat awkwardly. So you have here.



[QUote]And by the way, Logion is simply a saying. Logia means sayings. Or, if you like, utterances. Logion is the singular and Logia is the plural. The books of Matthew mark luke and john and also thomas are not the logia, but they contain logia. Do you understand that?[/Quote]If I asked a muslim to recite Quran, and if he or she recites a single verse and stops, that would have been Quran. Everything is relative. When I said Logion, I meant a single saying. When i said Logia, I meant more than a single saying; it could be a chapter, a Gospel according to . . . . and it could have been all the canonized. Reality: even from all the canonized, plus the Acts, plus, and plus (throw what you want in it), the total logia of Jesus is not available to the Christians. What you have is a compilation of some (not all the Truth) Truth and a whole lotta Dare; this is corruption



[Quote]btw Are you Vedaxcool, because I was actually addressing Vedaxcool. Are you using 2 IDs.[/Quote]Just like you jumped into the discussion away from the Amala threads and the Ifa oracles, to respond to Vadexcool, I am jumping to just correct your thoughts that the Bible truly have a leg to stand on. Read it, again. Many Logia are missing. Others have been made logia. A fake logion is "I am God". How is the Ifa working for you, since I dislike it?

Sweetnecta obviously has issues with Ifa.

I was not around at the start of the first century AD to witness anything. It was the person that mentioned eye-witness report that I was asking a question. I don't know why you feel you have to answer for him. And so belligerently, too. Have you got issues? You ought to face your problems head-on instead of coming to nl to take it out on us.

Sweetnecta:

If you called me an Awo I would be flattered, but Babalawo is too much and it would be dishonest of me to accept that title cos I haven't been initiated into Ifa. However I do believe that I strive to exhibit the qualities of Awo in my life, such as Iwa pele. So I will accept Awo.

Please can you tell me what it is about Ifa that you hate.

Yes, let's derail this thread, why not?

@Vedaxcool

Did he read the Torah, Psalms and Injil?

No he did not read any of the above books.


Though it is generally believed that Muhammad was an illiterate, he however used to listen to the Bible been read by the people of the scriptures (Jews and Christians). In fact, Mohammad made  reference to the Torah.

Bukhari 6.12

Narrated Abu Huraira: the people of the Scripture (Jews) used to recite the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah's Apostle said, "Do not believe the people of the Scripture or disbelieve them, but say:-- "We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us."   


Muhammad deferred to the Torah for Guidance Himself

Sahih Bukhari Book 38, no. 443

  A group of Jews went to Muhammad and ask him to pronounce judgment on an adulterous couple. Muhammad asked for the Torah to be brought before him, and the couple was subsequently stoned, in accordance with the penalty laid down in the Torah.

@Vedaxcool

Do you agree that with the responses given,that the Qur'an not only asserts that the bible is corrupted but also a contains the conjecture of men?

I do not agree that the bible is corrupted.
If it was corrupted, Mohammad wouldn't have asked for a copy to judge the woman that committed fornication

Sahih Bukhari Book 38, no. 4434

A group of Jews went to Muhammad and ask him to pronounce judgment on an adulterous couple. Muhammad asked for the Torah to be brought before him, and the couple was subsequently stoned, in accordance with the penalty laid down in the Torah.

Surah 5:46 - And We sent after them in their footsteps Isa, son of Marium, verifying what was before him of the Taurat (Jewish Torah) and We gave him the Injeel (Christian Gospels) in which was guidance and light, and verifying what was before it of Taurat and a guidance and an admonition for those who guard (against evil).












``The word `Tahrif' [corruption] signifies to change a thing from its original nature; and there is no man who could corrupt a single word of what proceeds from God, so that the Jews and Christians could corrupt only by misrepresenting the meanings of the word of God.'' (Ibn Abbas as recorded by Iman Bukhari, quoted in Hughes' Dictionary of Islam, p.62)
