To Cathlics/Christians:
First of all it is really strange to see this thread. Then to those who are “challenging” the Holy Quran, after 1400 years.
Probably they (Christians) are not aware of the fact that no one has been able to meet the challenge of the Holy Quran so far in the last 1400 years. And no other religious book has such religious and spiritual impact on billions of people in the last 1400 years.
As to the Scriptures given to the previous Prophets such as Taurait or Zaboor or Injeel, ofcourse they were too Word of God and they too had the same impact on their respective nations of those previous national Prophets of God (PBUT). Muslims do not claim that all of their contents are lost or changed. What Muslims say is people who came after the period of their Prophets did change the previous Messages given to them for various reasons.
Now what you have in your hands in the name of Bible(s), does contain some portions of the previous Divine Messages and those do and must have impact on people whoever read them with good intention.
But the fact that all Biblical books are not Word of God per se, remains, because they contain other stuff in them.
I won’t be surprised if a sincere person who never heard of the Holy Quran, but had access only to the Bible and impressed with the portions that are belonged to lost revelations.
And it is natural that all those passges that make sense in the Torah, the Prophets and the “Gospels” are in complete harmony and compatible with the essence of the Holy Quran because they all have a common source, God Almighty. Thus all Muslims are made to believe by Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) that all those were books revealed by Allah. Believing in those previous lost books, is part of Muslim faith. And rejecting any one Prophet of God is like rejecting all Prophets of God. This is one of the fundamental principles of Islamic faith.
Some Christians, out of their ignorance or some other personal reasons, neglect this fact and came forward to reject the whole Holy Quran, without realising that rejecting the Holy Quran also mean rejecting the main essence of the previous Prophets of God (PBUH).
Catholics must atleast read what their own Bible scholars have already admitted:

No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author–all have been in some way altered.
[CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: New Testament]](http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14530a.htm#IV])
This alteration has caused lot of problems thus no two so-called “original” manuscripts of Greek NT are alike, in terms of their contents, number of books, total verses etc. Not to mention Greek was not the native language of Jesus.
If you only read the prefaces of all the Gospels (in your New American Bible) it must suffice to prove that these are not the actual Message of Jesus but biographies written by unknown people which contain some excerpts/portions of Jesus’ words alongwith proven interpolations, additions, ommisions etc.
Thus all the words that are reported to have uttered by Jesus in the whole Greek NT is no more than 10%. The rest is filled with complicated, contradictory and inconsistent texts that cannot be called word of God from any angle.
Paul may be good writer but what his good writing has to do with Jesus or someone else’ salvation if he goes against the 10% reported words of Jesus?
Each one is responsible for his own actions and salvations. Paul is not going to save you on the Day of Judgement with his rhetoric and deceptive words. He has monopolised the NT’s most books (due to his links with the Romans) and he appears to be the central figure instead of Jesus. He has demolished the whole mission of Jesus which his carefull manipulation.
If you call Paul’s words, word of God then Jesus’ words were not Prophetic/Words from God. Either Jesus is a liar or Paul. Both cannot be right because they both are not in agreement. Not to mention while Jesus was busy in conveying God’s Message and Good News with signs, wonders and miracles and sincere Jews were embracing his Messages and realising that Eternal life comes only from keeping the Divine Laws and the Commandemnts of God, Paul was busy in persecuting Jesus’ followers to derail Jesus’ whole mission. No mircale, no sign, no wonder of Jesus stopped Paul to “kick against the pricks”. This man cannot be trusted. His vision on Damascus road means nothing. What counts is what did he do afterwords. Did he retain Jesus’ mission or did he derail the very essence of Jesus’ Message thus made Jesus’ hardship meaningless. So either Jesus were a liar or Paul.
It is upto the Catholics to pick one if they are really concerned about their Eternal life. And pay attention to Matthew 12:50 to realise the main essence and purpose of Jesus’ mission.
