http://www.petewaldo.com/bible_in_quran.htmWhat does the Quran say about the bible? The following suras are from the popular Yusuf Ali English translation.
Mohammed was instructed by Allah about where to get his advice if he had doubts:
Sura 10:94
If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.
That verse was written hundreds of years after the bible had been translated into every popular language, and was being read all over the known world. Indeed we have over 5300 partial or complete manuscripts of God's Word that were penned prior to 300AD.
Sura 5:47
Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel.
So Christian's are specifically instructed by Mohammed to judge - even Islam - according to what God has revealed to us in the Gospels. Perhaps the most widely quoted verse in those Gospels is:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.But the Quran says in surah 4:157
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:-In Jesus words from the gospel of
Matthew 26:28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.Rom 3:25
Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Sura 5:68
Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not over (these) people without Faith.Mark 1:1
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; And Muslims are given similar instruction in sura 4:136
O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and the scripture which He hath sent to His Messenger and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day of Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.2Jo 1:9
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.Some Muslims claim that the bible was corrupted, but this would be going directly against the Quran, let alone an admission that Allah didn't know the bible would be corrupted, before he inspired the above verses demanding Jews, Christians AND Muslims follow it.
Beside that, Mohammed's was to be a book confirming and guarding the bible according to sura 5:48
To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety:...But given sura 4:157 above, it wouldn't seem to have accomplished that.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.http://www.islamandthetruth.com/gospel_of_john.htm...
so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;1Jo 5:12
He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. Do you trust God to show you the truth?
Allah instructs you to believe in the scripture that came before Mohammed. Have you ever read the Gospels? How could you obey Allah's commandment to: "
Believe in ... the scripture which He sent to those before (him)." if you haven't read those scriptures?
At this link the Gospels are copied from the King James Version which is the most widely quoted and respected version in Christianity. Why not read a little and trust that Allah to "show you the truth of the matters"?
May God bless you and guide us ALL in ALL truth.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.Sura 5:43
But why do they come to thee for decision, when they have (their own) law before them?- therein is the (plain) command of Allah; yet even after that, they would turn away. For they are not (really) People of Faith. Why indeed. Jew or Christian
