Religion / Re: REAL TRUTH ABOUT RELIGION !! Who do you worship? by stevedam: 5:29pm On Oct 10, 2012
But the unjust deny the communication of Allah (Surah 6:33). Surely they who disbelieve in the communications of Allah, they shall have a severe chastisement; and Allah is Mighty, the Lord of retribution (Sura 3:4).
The logic is quite simple and unavoidable. The Quran says that the Bible was true at the time of Muhammad. The manuscript evidence unequivocally verifies that the Bible we have today is the same as the one in Muhammad's time (and before). So Muslims who say the Bible is corrupted are either mistaken themselves, or else the Quran is wrong . Since Muslims cannot accept that the Quran is wrong, the Bible must be accepted as reliable and true. And thus it is logically consistent for the Muslim to accept the Bible.
In summary, neither the Bible nor the Quran that we have today is identical to the originals. But both have been substantially preserved. There is no evidence that any important doctrine of eitherChristianity or Islam has been altered from the originals.
Let us summarize the evidence why the Bible can be trusted. There are four important approaches to considering the evidence for the reliability of the Bible:
1. Manuscript Evidence . Regarding the New Testament, the evidence supports the view thatall of the New Testament was written by eyewitnesses or other contemporaries of Jesus, and that it has been reliably preserved. There are no abrogations or destruction of manuscripts as there are in Islam.
2. Archeological Evidence . Over 25,000 sites have been discovered that pertain to the Bible. As Nelson Glueck, renowned Jewish archeologist said, "It may be stated categorically that no archeological discovery has ever controverted abiblical reference." This is really an amazing testimony for the Bible.
3. Prophetic Evidence . Some 2000 biblical prophecies have already been fulfilled, including over 300 about Jesus—with no prophetic failures. The probability of just 16 predictions being fulfilled without an error is 1 in 10 to the 45th power. For 2000 predictions to be correct without a failure is an inconceivable probability number. There is nothing at all like this in any other holy book.
4. Statistical Evidence . The Bible contains 66 books, written by approximately 40 different writers, over 1600 years, on 3 different continents, in 3 different languages, on thousands of different subjects—with no errors or contradictions. (Norman Geisler in his book written with Abdul Saleeb discusses this, and emphasizes that from his 40 years of studying the Bible he has concluded that every so-called error or contradiction is a red herring.) Yet thereis one beautiful central theme in the Bible: God's redemption of mankind from sin won for the whole world by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, regarding the Bible, there are multiple reliable witnesses, many of whom did not know each other, whosestories can be corroborated. This compares to the Quran, which was revealed by one very violent man who, according to Islamic sources was bewitched (Bukhari 4:400, 4:490, 8:400), and in which are found numerous confirmed errors and contradictions.
These facts, and much more supports the Christian view that the Bible is indeed from God. For more on this topic, see the final section of the Geisler/Saleeb book list at the bottom of this article . The only apparent reason why Muslims claim that the Bible has changed is that there is so much contradiction versus the Quran. There is no evidential basis for the claim that the Bible is anything other than reliable. If the Bible is true—Allah is not God, Muhammad was not his prophet, and the Quran is not the Word of God.
Here is an interesting 3 minute video about one man's research on the reliability of the Bible: Abdul's Testimony .
Top of page Jesus and Muhammad
There is a significant difference between the founders of the two religions. Muhammad was a sinner. In Suras 40:55, 47:19, and 48:1-2, Allah tells Muhammad to ask for forgiveness for his sins (translated frailties in some translations.) Certain sins of his are mentioned in Bukhari 1:234and 8:794-796, which include cutting off people'slimbs, burning out their eyes, and making them die of thirst. Other mention of his sins are found in Bukhari 1:19, 711, 781, 3:582, 4:319, 7:1, 8:319.
Arthur Jeffery summarizes the biography of the prophet Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq as follows: "He organizes assassinations and wholesale massacres. His career as tyrant of Medina is that of a robber chief, whose political economy consists in securing and dividing plunder."
Jerry Rassamni, author of From Jihad to Jesus , asks a reasonable question to Muslims—"If Islam's prophet, who is purported to be the model of purity for Muslims, was not in a perfect state of perfection [mutma'inaah], then what hope do other Muslims have in achieving the stage of perfection?" He further asks, "Shouldn't the fruits of a prophet of the Almighty be mercy, benevolence, and brotherhood instead of cold-blooded murder?"
Jesus, on the other hand was without sin ( Acts 10:38 ; 1 Peter 1:19, 2:21-24 ; 1 John 2:1, 3:5 ). Even his enemies, those who betrayed and crucified him, acknowledged his perfect life ( Matthew 27:3-4 ; Luke 23:14-15 ). This is an important theme in the Bible, but as we have previously mentioned, it is also confirmed in Islamic teaching (Bukhari 4:506).
Jesus lived the perfect life for us all. This gives meaning to his claim to divinity since no one else has ever achieved perfection. And his sacrificial death for our sins becomes even more poignant. The Bible says that Jesus gave his life that others may live in a very spiritual and real sense.
Modern Islam is generally considered to be free of racism. However Muhammad himself owned slaves, including a black slave named Anjasha (Bukhari 3:711, 6:435, 8:182, 8:221, 9:368, etc.). For more information, see www.answering-islam.org and search for "slaves." Of note, the only place where slavery is practiced today is in Islamic countries.
Slavery was common practice in the ancient world. Indeed, the Bible seems to acknowledge itas common practice. But Christianity teaches that all people are created equal ( Genesis 1:27 ; Galatians 3:28 ). And the Bible specifically condemns the slave trade ( 1 Timothy 1:9-11 ).
Consider Jesus, the sinless prophet. In contrast to Muhammad,
Jesus:
*. was never forgiven because he had no sin,
*. killed no travelers in cold blood,
*. never told us to kill anybody,
*. was not prejudiced against classes of people,
*. did not own slaves,
*. did not succumb to the devil and was not bewitched ( Matthew 4 ; Luke 4 )
*. had high moral standards (never said forcible sex was OK),
*. promised to pay the penalty for your sins,
*. suffered and died for you and me,
*. has no tomb for he rose from the dead, and
*. is the Prince of Peace.
Muhammad by his own admission was merely a mortal man (Sura 18:110), and never performed asingle miracle (Suras 3:183-184, 17:90-95, Bukhari 6:504, 9:379). The Quran itself acknowledges that Muhammad's opponents challenged him with, "Why is not an angel sent down to him?" to settle the matter of his prophethood (Sura 6:8-9). But Muhammad could not deliver. Yet Jesus performed numerous miracles before many witnesses ( Mark 7:37 ; John 10:38 , et. al.) Jesus' miracles are even confirmed in the Quran (Sura 5:110-113).
Muhammad said of himself that he could do nothing for you (Sura 11:31), but only Jesus can forgive your sins ( 1 John 2:1-2 ). (For more on miracle claims, see Geisler/Saleeb, indexed on page 335).
In addition to being powerful, Muhammad was wealthy (Bukhari 3:495), which brings into question his true motive. But Jesus was a lowly itinerant rabbi whose motive is not in question. Jesus' status is important because he could relate to the common person of any time:
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering...Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows...He was pierced for our transgression, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed...We all like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. ( Isaiah 53 ).
We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. ( Hebrews 4:15 ).
Jesus' influence came not from wealth or politicalpower, but from his words and actions that challenged people's very concept of truth ( Mark 1:27 ; John 18:38 ). He said,
I am the way, the truth, and the life. ( John 14:6 )
Let's consider further the subject of prophecies. One thing that has convinced many of the true identity of Jesus is the evidence from fulfilled prophecies. Jesus fulfilled over 200 prophecies and implications, many made hundreds of years before his birth. While some of the prophecies are subtle, many are precise—including his place of birth, and the details of his life and death. We have listed a few of these on our website . Jesus even predicted his own death and resurrection ( Matthew 16:21 ; Acts 10:40 , etc.)!
The interested reader may want to take the time to look up these prophecies and the details of their fulfillment. It is hard to get the color and richness of Christianity without understanding this aspect of it.
Abdul Saleeb, who converted to Christianity from Islam, says the two primary things that convincedhim that Jesus is more than just a prophet were first, the character of Jesus, and second, Jesus' amazing fulfillment of prophecy. This element of prophecy, which is such an important part of Christianity, has no parallel in any other religion. Jesus is the focus and fulcrum of all of history.
Finally, Muhammad had quite a number of phobia s revealed in the hadiths.
Why would you be a follower of Muhammad—or anyone else—when you could be a follower of Jesus, the Savior of the World?
Top of page Summary
It is clear that fundamental Christianity and fundamental Islam are incompatible worldviews.If either one is right, the other must be wrong. The evidence demands a verdict.
Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the anti-christ—he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also...I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. ( 1 John 2:22-23, 26 )
Top of page Invitation
Speaking especially to our Muslim readers, we invite you to consider the Christian faith. The Christian faith offers assurance of salvation. It also offers love and intimacy with God. Consider especially the person of Jesus—his beauty and gentleness. May your hopes and dreams be fulfilled. Jesus is Lord!!
Religion / Re: REAL TRUTH ABOUT RELIGION !! Who do you worship? by stevedam: 5:15pm On Oct 10, 2012
The Bible Like the Quran for Muslims, the Bible for Christians is
considered to be the "Word of God." But Christians
do not mean exactly the same thing as Muslims
when they use this term. Believers in the historic
orthodox Christian faith believe that the Bible is
"inspired" by God, and believe that the original manuscripts of the Bible are without error
("inerrant" or "infallible."wink But they also accept the
view that the Bible has come to us from human
writers whose unique personalities and literary
styles are evident. Christians also acknowledge that
the Bible of today, while extremely faithful to the original texts, is subject to slight variances. Muslims have been taught that the Bible has been
grossly corrupted. Many non-Muslims wonder
about this possibility as well. Therefore, it is
appropriate to submit the Bible to rigorous
scholarly testing. This is a vital exercise because the
Christian faith rests on the reliability of the Bible. Let us just touch on a few points. Yusuf Ali, the famous modern translator and
commentator of the Quran, has said that the earliest
date for an Old Testament manuscript is 916 AD.
This is quite wrong. In 1947 there was a discovery
of ancient biblical and non-biblical manuscripts
now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. These manuscripts contain portions of or complete copies
of every Old Testament book except Esther. They have been reliably dated from 250 BC to 68 AD (Dead Sea Scrolls). In addition to the Dead Sea Scrolls, there are other
manuscripts of the Old Testament that date before
Christ. Yet it is the remarkably extensive discovery
in the Dead Sea Scrolls that confirms that the
modern day Old Testament has been unchanged
since at least before the time of Christ. The Dead Sea discovery verifies that today we are in the possession of the Old Testament that
Jesus read and used. And Jesus himself testified as to the correct books of the Old Testament and to
their accuracy. (Here are just a few of many
examples: Matthew 5:17-18, 12:40, 13:14-15, 19:3-9, 23:35; Luke 16:31, 24:44; John 5:46-47, 10:35.) Jesus' testimony is an important substantiation that the Old Testament was
consistently preserved up to his time. Absent any
contrary evidence, the belief that the Old Testament
has been reliably preserved is warranted. The Dead Sea Scrolls also contain what many
scholars believe are fragments of New Testament books, including Mark, Acts, Romans, 1 Timothy, 2
Peter, and James. The fragments are small enough
that some scholars are skeptical. But the
importance of the discovery is that it adds to
already existing evidence that the New Testament
was written in the first century. The modern Bible agrees with the earliest manuscripts, so we have an
unbroken chain from very early in the Christian era. While we do not have the original New Testament
manuscripts ("autographs"wink, we do have over 25,000 ancient copies of New Testament manuscripts, or pieces thereof. Careful analysis by
scholars can compare the various manuscripts and
reproduce the originals with great precision. Only
about 40 lines of text in the New Testament are in
doubt, and these do not effect any Christian
doctrine. See also on our site Why I Can Trust the Bible. Since there are numerous extant New Testament
manuscripts from hundreds of years before Muhammad which agree with the modern Bible, the Muslim charge that the modern Bible has been
changed is a hollow claim. Thus, the Bible (Old and
New Testaments) being read during Muhammad's
time and hundreds of years prior is the same Bible we have today. There is no longer any real doubt that the New
Testament is what it claims to be—a reliable record
of Jesus and his apostles written by eye witnesses
and interviewers of eyewitnesses of Jesus. We are
convinced that the entire New Testament was
written between 40 and 70 AD. (We recommend the final section of the Geisler/Saleeb book listed
below as good summary. Also a book by John A. T.
Robinson entitled Redating the New Testament.) In addition to the manuscript evidence itself, we
have quotations from the New Testament from the
early church fathers (from 97 AD to 325 AD). These
quotations allow reconstructing all but eleven
verses of the modern New Testament—even
without any manuscripts themselves! This is significant to Muslims, since these attestations are
from hundreds of years before Muhammad. Yusuf Ali also said that the New Testament we have
today is not the same as in Muhammad's time.
Wrong again. The accumulation of evidence proves
that the case is really closed in this matter. The New
Testament has been reliably preserved through the
ages. A final charge by Muslims is that the Apostle Paul
changed the message of Jesus. There is absolutely
no evidence for this claim. Besides, there are simply
too many well-attested ancient manuscripts for this
to be even remotely possible. Further, Paul's
message was both checked and approved by the original apostles (Galatians 1-2; 2 Peter 3:15-16)! By the way, the Bible is easier to verify than the
Quran, because unlike the Quran there has never
been any wholesale destruction of ancient
manuscripts. The historical evidence is vast for
biblical scholars as well as opponenents of
Christianity to investigate. There is nothing hidden or swept under the rug. Also significant for the Muslim is that the Quran itself has a high view of the Bible, indeed
proclaiming it as without error! While this will be a bit tedious for our non-Muslim readers, we think it
is important to document that the Quran does
indeed support the Bible in key areas. The
information was compiled by Dr. William Campbell
and outlined in his book The Quran and the Bible in
the Light of History and Science. Especially our Muslim readers are encourage to obtain a copy of
this book (See resource list below), or at least look
up these passages: These passages show that the Torah was true at
the time of Jesus: Suras 3:48-50, 5:44-49, 5:110,
19:12, 61:6, 66:12. These passages show that the Torah and the
Gospel were true and unchanged at the time of
Muhammad: Suras 2:91, 3:3, 4:162-163, 5:44-49,
6:154-157, 9:111, 10:37, 12:111, 35:31, 40:69-70,
46:12, 46:29-30. There are 24 passages in the Quran where
Muhammad actually quotes or appeals to the Torah
and/or the Gospel. 55 other verses say that the Torah or the Gospel are
good. Some of these include Suras 3:187, 4:47, and
5:46-48. No one has ever brought forth a copy of the Torah
or Gospel that differs from the one we have now. Sura 10:94 specifically says, "If thou wert in doubt
As to what We have revealed Unto thee, then ask
those Who have been reading The Book [the Bible]
from before thee: The Truth hath indeed come To
them from thy Lord: So be in no wise Of those in
doubt." See also: Suras 2:41, 2:136, 5:68, 2:285, 3:3, 3:70,
3:184, 5:44-46, 5:77, 6:34, 6:91, 10:34, 10:37,
11:110, 17:2-4, 17:14, 19:12, 19:30, 20:52, 21:7,
23:49, 25:35, 28:2, 28:43, 28:52, 29:46, 32:23,
37:117, 40:53, 41:45, 45:16, 48:23, 56:78,
57:25-27, 62:5, 98:4.
