Bible corruption/islamic point of view

[inJESUS]

WEST OF MUHAMMAD
To the West was Abbysinnia, now known as Ethiopia. Ethiopia was a Christian country during Muhammad’s time. During the early years of Muhammad’s preaching, he sent his followers there to avoid persecution from the Meccans. As has been already shown - the Ethiopian church has a canon similar to what we have today. They have added additional letters that do not conflict with other parts of the New Testament.

Concerning Abyssinia, (Ethiopia), Albert Hourani writes in “A History of the Arab Peoples”, [18] page 10,
And Bell writes on page 32:
“Fell further connects this with the Abyssinian legend of the nine saints by whom a revival of Christianity was brought about, and sets the date about A.D. 480. In any case, the real Christianizing of Abyssinia belongs to about this period.”

If Muhammad were to encounter the Scriptures of the Ethiopian church, he would encounter what we basically have today.

NORTHWEST OF MUHAMMAD
To the Northwest was Palestine. By 600 A.D., Christianity was well established there. No additional comment is needed here.

If Muhammad were to encounter the Scriptures of the Palestinian church, he would encounter what we basically have today.

CONCLUSION

** Evidence has been presented that establishes that the canon of the Scriptures was fixed well before Muhammad and that the Scriptures that Muhammad encountered are the same as those existing today. The differences between the canons were that they had a different number of books, but the books they had in common were the same. The differences between canons does not affect the fundamental, primary, intrinsic, teachings of the Bible. Muhammad encountered the Bible and he believed it to be God’s word**

Muslim misconception #4.

"The Torah mentioned in the Quran is not what is known as the “Old Testament” today.

        In context, the word "Torah" used in Islam refers to the canon of Jewish Scripture. In both the Holy Bible and the Hadith the word is used in a generic sense to refer to the Old Testament as a whole.

Proof from the Hadith of Bukhari 3.335 and the Quran:

Narrated Ata bin Yasar:

I met Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As and asked him, “Tell me about the description of Allah’s Apostle which is mentioned in Torah (i.e. Old Testament.”) He replied, 'Yes. By Allah, he is described in Torah with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Quran as follows:

"O Prophet ! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah’s True religion) And a giver of glad tidings (to the faithful believers), And a warner (to the unbelievers) And guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and My messenger (i.e. Apostle). I have named you “Al-Mutawakkil” (who depends upon Allah). You are neither discourteous, harsh Nor a noisemaker in the markets And you do not do evil to those Who do evil to you, but you deal With them with forgiveness and kindness. Allah will not let him (the Prophet) Die till he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,” With which will be opened blind eyes And deaf ears and enveloped

hearts."

The following is from the Torah-Old Testament, Isaiah 42:1-3,6-7. “You are my servant and my messenger; I have called you the one who trusts, not harsh or rough, nor loud-voiced in the streets. He will not repulse evil with evil, but will pardon and forgive, and God will not take him till He uses him to straighten the crooked creed so that people may say there is no god but God, and he opens thereby blind eyes, deaf ears and hardened hearts.”

You will not find a single reference in the Torah of Moses matching the above citation. This proves that at least in this Hadith the word “Torah” referred to more than the first five books of Moses.

AND FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT

        "Jesus answered them `Has it not been written in your LAW, I said you are gods?'" John 10:34.  Jesus includes Psalm 82:6 as part of the Law (i.e. Torah).  "The crowd spoke up, `We have heard from the LAW that the Christ will remain forever, so how can you say, "The Son of Man must be lifted up?"  Who is this Son of Man?'" John 12:34



        There is no reference in the books of Moses that indicates Christ will remain forever.  The only places you'll find such statements are Psalm 110:1,4 and Daniel 7:13-14. Hence, the Jews used the term "Law" (Torah) as a reference for the whole of the Hebrew Bible.



        "But this is to fulfill what is written in their LAW:  `They hated me without reason.'"  John 15:25 Jesus alludes to Psalms 35:19 and 69:4 as part of the Law.  In Romans 3:10-19 Paul alludes to Psalms 5:9, 10:7, 36:1, 14:1-3, 51:4, 53:1-3, 59:7-8, 140:3 and Ecclesiastes 7:20 as "the Law".  "In the LAW it is written:  `Through men of strange tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me,' says the Lord." 1 Corinthians 14:21.  Paul includes Isaiah 28:11-12 as part of the Law.  This should sufficiently demonstrate that the term Torah or Law came to be used in a broader sense referring to the entire Hebrew Bible.  This is precisely what we find in the Hadith as well

Muslim misconception #5:

The “Injil” mentioned in the Quran is not the “Gospels” found in today’s New Testament.

Remark

        By the start of the second century the term "Gospel" was used by the early church to refer to the fourfold Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  Noted scholar, F. F. Bruce explains:  



        "At a very early date it appears that the four Gospels were united in one collection.  They must have been brought together very soon after the writing of the Gospel according to John.  This fourfold collection was known originally as `The Gospel' singular, not `The Gospels' in the plural; there was only one Gospel, narrated in four records, distinguished as `according to Matthew', `according to Mark', and so on.  About A.D. 115 Ignatius, bishop, of Antioch, refers to `The Gospel' as an authoritative writing, and as he knew more than one of the four `Gospels' it may well be that by `The Gospel' sans phrase he means the fourfold collection which went by that name." (Bruce, The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? [23] page 23).





        Bruce goes on to cite another church father:



        "By the time of Irenaeus, who, though, a native of Asia Minor, was bishop of

Lyons in Gaul about A.D. 180, the idea of a fourfold Gospel had become so axiomatic in the Church at large that he can refer to it as an established and recognized fact as obvious as the four cardinal points or the four winds: `For as there are four quarters of the world in which we live, and four universal winds, and as the Church is dispersed over all the earth, and the gospel is the pillar and base of the Church and the breath of life, so it is natural that it should have four pillars, breathing immortality from every quarter and kindling the life of men anew. Whence it is manifest that the Word, the architect of all things, who sits upon the cherubim and holds all things together, having been made manifested to men, have given us the gospel in fourfold form, but held together by one Spirit.’" (Ibid., p. 24)

        Therefore, to a Christian living before or during the time of Muhammad the term `Gospel' meant the fourfold collection found in our present day Bibles.

I had to quote so that people can have clear passages in front of them…the full link is above for the whole article.

Now Joseph, i proved to you that the only existent Bible since the second century is what we have today…can you prove to me that a different Bible was used that nobody so far heard about or saw? why did allah ask you to revere and read a book , knowing that it will be DISAPPEAR after mohammads time or that it disappeared from Moses time? the Bible we have today is the Bible of Christians since the 2nd century and the Bible of Jews as well just as the Dead Sea Scrolls show…don’t you think we have too much evidence and you nothing? where are these Holy Scriptures ? and why did Allah allow that Jews and Christians for 3000 years live a lie and go to hell?Joseph, you are asking us to forget 3000 years, 40 prophets,& God’s promise to believe 1 person? believe me, God NEVER dealt with His people that way…i won’t leave all this and rely on an “imaginary” Bible that disappeared from earth for 3000 years…this is NOT our God…this is not a god that allows this for His people for thousands of years…it reminds me of the trick of Allah on the Cross…you want me to disbelieve Jews, Romans, and Christians (history) to believe one person who didnt even explain what happened and gave an absurd version…Joseph, i won’t neglect 3000 years of history for a person who did not even prove his claims…i believe in a God who saves His Word coz He wants His people saved…i do not believe in mohammad’s distorted history, nor the inconsistency of Allah who said He will preserve the Bible and who did not fulfill his promise…

Justice2006:

When you failed miserably to answer questions, “you have to go” or “it is late here” or “you need to sleep” or “you will give time for others” to see how the issue of “dung” in the Holy Bibles is dealt/faced by them.

I hope by now you must have realised or seen from your very eyes **how many times human and cow’s ** “dung” is used in the Holy Bibles

If not, do you know atleast, in your Catholic Bible (DRV), how many times the word “dung” is used? And what cow’s dung has to do with children of Israel?

It is awfully short sighted and narrow minded to think that anything that claims to be a revelation from God must look exactly like the Koran for it to be genuine.

amgid

 

[inJESUS]

“And to you We have revealed the Book containing the truth, confirming the earlier revelations, AND PRESERVING THEM (FROM CHANGE AND CORRUPTION).”

where is this promise , Joseph? where is the Bible that Allah promised to preserve for the last 3000 years?

correct but the question is this: do we believe in a God who keeps His Word or in a god that allows its corruption leading people to Hell?
If God is omipotent, why did He fail to Keep His Bible?
If God is Just, why will He allow the corruption of 3000 years and save the Quran? if God is as such, we have absolutely no reason to believe the quran is not corrupt especially that it was written by humans and the original ones burnt.

No thx, i believe in God not someone else.

btw Joseph, i gave you a link to a book in arabic…did you read it?maybe we can discuss it? thx

 

[gurrato_alaien]

inJESUS:

when you see this as insult , we see it as the most beautiful form of Love…yes we believe in Jesus who took a human body , who slept, who when to toilet, who wept, who laughed, who gave us the Ideal representation of an ideal human being…the humanity of Jesus does in no way demean his divinity…yes we believe in such a loving God…if you are a dad, and if you play with your children and enter their world of infancy, does it mean you are being insulted as an adult? on the contrary, it shows what a great father you are…Jesus as well experienced our world to reveal to us His world…He became human to make us godly…He experienced everything except “sin” coz he was a great, ideal, sinless human being and God who is Holy as well…

Peace again brother.

Which God is that who went to toilet and getting circumcised and wept. He can’t show his love to you without these insulted things. I am sure you can’t dare to say this to your president or your king can you? Despite he neither God nor prophet. or even to your boss in your Job but to your God you can dare to say that, what religion is that brother wake up.
The problem with Christians is that they don’t esteem Almighty Allah as he is.

Muslims believe that Almighty Allah love his people who submitted to him, one hadith say that God is more merciful in his people more than the mother with her child.

One more hadith Godosy say that God said “my servant remains is closing to me by doing Nawafel means rites “secondary rites” until I love him and if I love him I will be
His eye and his hearing and his power and if he asks me I will give him and so on “ -------please forgive my poor translation–. See this love in Islam .

Peace.

 

[gurrato_alaien]

I found that hadith in english so i woul like to post it :

“God Almighty said: “My servant draws near to Me with nothing more loved by Me than the acts of worship that I have enjoined upon him. My servant continues to try to draw near to Me with more devotion, until I love him. When I love him, I will be his hearing with which he hears, his sight by which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, his feet on which he walks. When he asks Me for something, I will respond and when he takes refuge in Me, I will grant it to him. I do not hesitate in doing anything I intend to do as much as I hesitate in seizing the soul of My faithful servant; he hates death and I hate hurting him. But death is a must for him”.”
(narrated by Bukhari)

Peace.

Gurrato, a couple of things - firstly Ronald Regan had bowel cancer and bowel surgery during or shortly after his time as President - the whole world (apart from you obviously) certainly knew about that!

Yes we believe in a God who was fully human - and there is great love in God assuming human form as inJesus pointed out. I can’t believe that you think things like circumcision (a sign of God’s covenant in old times with His people) and WEEPING (?) are ‘insulted’? Why do you circumcise then? It’s schizophrenic is what it is.

I did reply to your previous post in which you said the same things, only that time it was ‘urined and rode a donkey’ that you had problems with - as if poor donkeys deserve to be insulted like that!

What I said at that time, if you care to go back and reread it, is that it’s not your concept of God’s nature I have problems with. It’s the behaviour you Muslims think Allah requires and or permits that is the real difficulty. Little things like ridiculously easy divorce, permissible lying in order to seduce a woman, killing other people in the name of your religion, that sort of thing.

A large percentage of you believe in a God who sits on the sidelines cheering when thousands of innocent people are blown up in His name in New York and elsewhere. A large percentage of you believe in a God who tells you to kill unmarried women who have the misfortune to no longer be virgins. A large percentage of you believe that a woman who isn’t covered from head to foot in public AND accompanied by a male relative is fair game to be raped!!!

Some of you, clearly, also think that NORMAL human bodily functions are somehow ‘insulted’ and something to be ashamed of!?! It must be absolute agony for you being in a human body then! No wonder Muslims are so ready to kill yourselves and others if you despise yourselves so much. It was precisely to teach the dignity of humans (and yes, even their bodies and bodily functions!) that Jesus became one of us. Obviously it’s still a sorely needed lesson if your attitude is anything to go by.

Brother my point is that God love us without doing that things he is All-power can do without coming to earth in human form and he can forgive us without sacrifice by killing himself for our sins, what you can to do is raise your hands and ask him what you need whether forgiveness or others.

And you have mentioned many issues in your post each one can be one thread alone, but I said many time don’t judge Islam by some Muslims acts like I don’t judge Christianity by Christians acts.
I can show you hundreds of examples prove how Christians are terrorists if I want to think like you.
And I can cite from the bible terrorist verses if you want.

Look what happened in Palestine and Iraq and Afghanistan and everywhere, they kill Muslims no more than they are Muslims.

Peace.

Gurrato, firstly just to point out I am female. Secondly of course we believe that God COULD save us without coming to earth as human - the point is he WANTED to because he LOVES us. It’s just like a father picks up and carries his child and plays with it even if he doesn’t HAVE to do it, he WANTS to! In fact the child suffers if the father DOESN’T do these things, just like humans suffered before God came to earth to guide us.

Yes I’m sure there are terrorists who call themselves Christian - the point of difference is that Muslim terrorists follow the example of the ‘sublime morality’ of your prophet Mohammed who certainly killed and probably raped himself, supposedly under Allah’s orders.Yes there are plenty of examples of similar in the OLD Testament. The fact is that JESUS, who after all is the one whose example we Christians are supposed to follow, did and preached the complete OPPOSITE of all the things ‘Christian’ ‘terrorists’ supposedly do in the name of Christianity.

I know whose example I’d rather follow, and whose example I’d rather the whole world followed. It isn’t Mohammed’s, plain and simple. And I believe that He came to earth precisely to show us what REAL respect for humans and human life looks like, even if we don’t always live up to what he taught.

Gurrato, first, your post was irrelevant; second, you still understand nothing…i don’t blame you…Jesus cannot be explained, He can be experienced; because we experience Him, we understand Him, and because you don’t experience Him, you don’t understand Him…for Jesus said:I am the good shepherd;…you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.
27
My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.
; obviously, you do not belong to His sheep…maybe one day, you will hear His voice…only then you will understand what we were trying to say.

the question pertaining to this post is o you believe in a God that keeps His Word or not?

What I dont understand is why there is even an Islamic religion. After all Jesus Christ came to redeem ALL mankind not just non-Arabs and I dont know why you hold Jesus in such high esteem in your Koran because He state emphatically, " I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life". And NO ONE comes to the FATHER except through ME. This in itself should have disqualified any mention of Him in your book. And No mention of a messenger coming after Him nor were there any mention by Apostles or the “70” or the thousands who were first converted on that first Pentecost of a Muhammed coming in the future.

 

[gurrato_alaien]

StMarkEofE:

What I dont understand is why there is even an Islamic religion.

Because the entire Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption! “`How can you say, “We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?’ (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)”

The Revised Standard Version makes even clearer: “How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us’? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)”

In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws, that they had turned the Bible into a lie!

See Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death.

The Book of Moses predicted that the Law (Bible) will get corrupted. The Book of Jeremiah which came approximately 826 years after did indeed confirm this corruption.

That’s why there is a perfect religion called Islam.

If you understand it from a Christian viewpoint, you cant come away with anything else than declaring Islam as a bogus religion at best and a dangerous cult at worst. You want us to understand Islam to be a valid monotheistic religion but you fail to realize that we already have a valid monotheistic religion, its called Christianity. Why should be believe that Islam is anything else than what I have presented? If we faithfully believe that Christ is God then why should we even respect Islam??? Islam is a slap in the face to Christians and Jews, and Hindus and Buddhists alike. They dont respect anyone except themselves. I call a spade a spade and this is my belief. Nowhere is Love a prominent factor in this socalled religion but tolerance and justice is all we hear in the west. Islam for me is a contradiction. Islam is a man made religion. And that is it for me.

[gurrato_alaien]

Oh, brother you believe in tha bible and what it say The Bible say God needs to Sleep. (Psalm 4:23)
do you think that almighty God do sleeps and take rest like man?!!!

"AWAKE, WHY DO YOU SLEEP, O LORD? Then the Lord AWAKED AS ONE OUT OF SLEEP, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine. (Psalm 4:23)

“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He RESTED, and was REFRESHED” (Exo. 31:17)

Also Genesis says GOD created the world and rested on the seventh day:
Ge 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Ge 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

I think the point is that the all powerful GOD does not need to rest.It is only man who has these weaknesses and need to sleep. It is only when man is comparing GOD to man then he would beleive that GOD really rested.I mean can you really fathom GOD resting. Does that mean he rests every Saturday. This implies GOD does Sabbath.
If man really sits and thinks can he really see a god who rests or is it written there so it makes him have to believe it. I think if GOD was speaking in the First person saying I created the world and I rested then that might have a different meaning. But this is man wanting others to think GOD rested. I cannot see how I can call one who rested, slept, or even died, as a GOD.

This is another proof prove that tha bible has been corrupted.

Peace
