Believer,
I see we’ve bumped into each other again.
Believer, to be perfectly honest with you, I had decided that I wasn’t going to reply to any of your posts because from my experience with you on the Islamic Forum. You seem to be one of those people who reject all replies given to you and you state no reason to why you have rejected them. I virtually begged you on the other forum to prove me wrong, but what I got from is “you just don’t want to believe”. I hope you see how frustrated I was. However, I have decided to answer you on the condition that you reply with clear proofs from your Bible and from Non-Christian sources (if speaking on history topics) as I gave you proof from Non-Muslims sources. I hope we have an agreement.
There are many reasons that I believe that the Bible has been corrupted. However, since this post will become too long to mention them all at once, I’ll mention my points one by one and then I’ll wait for your reply.
(1)Who were the real authors of the Bible
Reading the Few pages of history before the Books, I was shocked to notice that most of today’s Bibles are doubtful and unreliable.
* The Gospel of Mark:
"Although there is no direct internal evidence of authorship, it was the unanimous testimony of the early church that this Gospel was written by John Mark. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1488)"
So, in reality, we don't really know whether Mark was the sole author of this Gospel or not. And since The New Testament wasn't even documented on paper until 150-300 years (depending on what Christian you talk to) after Jesus, then how are we to know for sure that the current "Gospel of Mark" wasn't written by some pro of Mark?
"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost. (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"
This quote raises a very serious issue here. First of all, as we've seen above in the first quote, we have no evidence that proves that John Mark was the sole author of this so called "Gospel". Second of all, we see that this Gospel has some serious problems/suspicions in it. The issue of Mark 16:9-20 is a scary one, because many Christian cults today use poisonous snakes in their worship and end up dying.
We can be absolutely certain now that the above quotes prove without a doubt that the Bible is doubtful. The quote "or its original ending has been lost" proves that what we call today "Gospels" were not written by their original authors such as Mark, John, Matthew, etc... It proves that the Gospel had been tampered with by man. Let alone considering it as the True Living Words of GOD Almighty.
If John Mark wasn't the one who wrote Mark 16:9-20, then who did? And how can you prove the ownership of the other person? Let alone proving that it was GOD Almighty's Revelation. And as we saw in the first quote above, we don't even know that John Mark was indeed the one who wrote the so called "Gospel of Mark".
To say the least in our case here, we now have enough evidence to discard the entire Gospel of Mark from the Bible, because you can't take bits and pieces of it and say some of it belongs to him and some of it doesn't! Let alone considering the entire corrupted Gospel as the True Living Word of GOD Almighty, which is a complete blasphemy
Why do you believe that God would give His final revelation to the Ishmaelites? God made His covenant with Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob(Israel).
Simply because they utterly failed with God Almighty and Killing or rejecting those warners sent to them ( The Messengers and Prophets)
The Quran say:
"We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book the Power of Command, and Prophethood; We gave them, for Sustenance, things good and pure; and We favoured them above the nations. (The Noble Quran, 45:16)"
Because of their disabodience to God, they became cursed as stated in the Quran and the Bible:
"So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple, and I will consign Jacob to destruction and Israel to scorn. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 43:28 )"
And with that God Almighty removed his Kingdom from them and gave it to "blessed" nation who came from the "blessed" Ismail.
As the Bible says:
"And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. (From the KJV Bible, Genesis 17:19-21)"
Allah also tells Mankind ( Because the Quran wasn't sent for the Arabs or the Muslims but all Mankind) concerning Ismail:
"Also mention in the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was (strictly) true to what he promised, and he was an apostle (and) a prophet. (The Noble Quran, 19:54)"
Peace and Blessings be to the Believers
