Is the Bible Still the Word of God?

Mansoor_ali wrote:    Only 1 verse of Quran is enough to prove that Bible is corrupt.    004.157 YUSUFALI: That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-  Here is another explicit verse speaking of Bible corruption, the Quran states that if anyone believes that Jesus died and was crucified they then follow nothing but CONJECTURE which is corruption. Which book today tells us that Jesus died and was crucified? The Bible, so hence the Quran here does call the Bible corrupt. So it can't get anymore clear than that.

See the previous verses to know "We" refers to somebody, Bible did not say "they killed Jesus�, Bible explain that this was a prepared plan that has to be done, a plan from the first, for salvation. Not a simple Murderer story, as they believed that "they" killed him. But at present, you are not looking in these verses as a love message, you plan to use of them as tool for your own religious! Don`t you?!

Salams,Moses and welcome to the forum I see that you already made yourself at home.You say and it seems that you are like a mediator for now:Then they will attack to u, by other tools. But obviously all of their efforts are against the Quran!Well most of us don't feel that we have to defend the truth wich we believe the Qur'an is.Some Christians come here on an Islamic Forum with fake intentions on learning and like all falsehoods they are exposed.

Moses wrote: Shibboleth wrote:  .......... Let us repeat a verse from the Qur�an. But now we will discuss it from a different angle. �After those prophets We sent forth Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the Torah already revealed, and gave him the Gospel, in which there is guidance and light, corroborating that which was revealed before it in the Torah, a guide and an admonition to the righteous. Therefore let the followers of the Gospel judge in accordance with what Allah has revealed therein. Evil-doers are those that do not base their judgements on Allah�s revelations.��Sura 5, Al-Ma�ida [The Table], verses 46, 47.  (The Qur'an also accepts Jesus as the son of God,just as it does Adam)  .................. For a believer to Quran, these are clear, and they do not argue about these verses because they can not stand against the words of God. Each of them knows well that for response to your claim needs to explain the words of God in human way, but they afraid of anger of God. Then they will attack to u, by other tools. But obviously all of their efforts are against the Quran! And this is truly �corruption�! Not in word of God, but in mind of human! but still God love them and let them to continue..... If not...., then from now , they will explain to you the Tafsir and explanation of these verses of Quran, not more!! because most of them are truly believers in God.

PROOF THAT THE BIBLE BEEN ACCURATELY PRESEVED.

 

By studying the thousands of manuscripts extant in our time and comparing them with one another, we can see that the original text has been accurately passed down to us. A report published in 1971 shows that there are possibly 6,000 handwritten copies containing all or part of the Hebrew Scriptures; the oldest dates back to the third century B.C.E. Of the Christian Greek Scriptures, there are some 5,000 in Greek, the oldest dating back to the beginning of the second century C.E.

 

More than 13,000 manuscripts of the Greek Scriptures are said to be available today. A study of them shows that the original text of the Christian Greek Scriptures has also been preserved accurately, the oldest dating back to the beginning of the second century C.E.

 

For example, the Institute for New Testament Textual Studies in Germany has made about 95 percent of its approximately 5,300 handwritten copies of the Christian Greek Scriptures available for scientific study, either on microfilm or in photographs. A comparison of them shows just how exact the transmission of the Bible text down to our day has been. The interval of time between the original writing of the Christian Greek Scriptures and the writing of the oldest extant papyrus manuscripts is very short, not more than 25 years.

What the Qur�ān Says About the Holy Scriptures

The Qur�ān calls the Torah and the Injīl �the Book of Enlightenment.� (Āl �Imrān [3]:184; Fāṭir [35]:25) Scores of Qur�ānic verses state that these books are from God. (Al-Baqarah [2]:89; Al-An�ām [6]:92) Concerning both the Torah and Injīl, we read: �Wherein is guidance and a light.� (Al-Mā�idah [5]:44, 46, MMP) Furthermore, Al-Mā�idah [5]:46 says about the Torah: �Therein is the (plain) command of God.� Many of the great interpreters (such as Al-Jalālayn, Al-Fakhr Al-Rāzī, Al-Ṭabarī, and Al-Bayḍāwī) acknowledge that according to the Qur�ān, the Torah is called �the Book of God� (Āl �Imrān [3]:23) and �the Book which helps to make things clear.� (Al-Ṣāffāt [37]:117) Nevertheless, some still believe that the present-day Torah and Injīl have been corrupted and cannot be trusted. But if this were true, when did this falsification take place?

From a Qur�ānic viewpoint, no corruption could possibly have occurred BEFORE writing of the Qur�ān because many Qur�ānic verses call for faith in the Torah and the Injīl.

(For example, see Al-Baqarah [2]:136; Āl �Imrān [3]:84; Al-Nisā� [4]:136.) The Qur�ān also recommends seeking out those versed in the Torah and the Injīl, saying: �If ye realise this not, ask of those who possess the Message.� (Al-Naḥl [16]:43; Al-Anbiyā� [21]:7) Would it do so if these texts had been corrupted? Furthermore, many Qur�ānic verses call out to �People of the Book� (the Torah and the Injīl) to turn back to their books. (For instance, see Al-Mā�idah [5]:50, 71.) Surely, an invitation would not be given to turn back to corrupted books!
