Christianity and Islam III: False Muslim Charges Against Christians

Christian Bible Has been Corrupted

Muslims.  you challenge us by saying, “Your Bible is corrupted.” Prove it.

This is our defense: Our Bible is the same today (except for copyist errors) as it was in the sixth century when Muhammed accepted it as truth. His only objection to Christianity was that its people did not follow their Bible - which your prophet accepted as the word of Allah.

Now, if it is as you say, that it has been corrupted - prove it.

Islam must show where the Bible has been corrupted SINCE the sixth century - it cannot!

Our bible appears today just as it did in the 2nd and 3rd centuries when the canon was determined. That is our defense.

According to Qur’an Christians went astray after the death of Jesus.

"And when God will say: ‘O Jesus, did you say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides God?’ He will reply: ‘Glory be to Thee! it was not for me to say what I had no right to say. If I had said it, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. Surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen. I said to them naught save as Thou didst command me: Serve God, my Lord and your Lord; and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thou didst cause me to die Thou wast the Watcher over them. And Thou art Witness of all things’." (5:116, 117) This extract proves the following:

1. Jesus shall deny preaching the erroneous present-day Christian doctrine of his divinity; 
2. He shall confirm the teaching he actually gave to his people; 
3. So long as Jesus was among his people, his followers held correct
   beliefs; 
4. It was after Jesus’ tawaffa (translated above as ‘Thou didst cause
   me to die’) that their beliefs became corrupted. 

From the viewpoint of Muslims, Jesus is returning as a Muslim, and he will break the cross (destroy Christianity) and be a slave to Islam. Muslims believe that Jesus will also abolish the jizya, which will leave Jews and Christians with only two options: convert to Islam or die!

Qur’an  9:29 calls for the extortion of Jew and Christians. (Jizya)

9.29
 YUSUFALI:

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

The following is what the Islamic scriptures (the ahadith) say about the return of Jesus.

Muslims believe that Jesus will come back to fight for Islam, not Christianity!

Book 37, Number 4310:
 Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 657:
 Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” Abu Huraira added “If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): — ‘And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them.” (4.159) (See Fateh Al Bari, Page 302 Vol 7)

So, according to the Muslim belief, when Judgment Day arrives, Jesus will judge the people by the words of the Koran and not of the Holy Bible.

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 658:
 Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said “How will you be when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Quran and not by the law of Gospel (Fateh-ul Bari page 304 and 305 Vol 7)

PLEASE do not be fooled when Muslims say that they respect Jesus! They are manipulating you with semantics.
