That’s a good site. Astonishing to me how Muslims use parts of the Bible and then tell us it is corrupt. Truth must have been difficult for Muhammad so he created a religion to suit his lifestyle.

Praise God it helped. I think that as Muhammad was illiterate and among people largely illiterate in Scripture, and as he was dependent on their often skewed versions of Christian teaching (thus his conclusion at one point that the Trinity was God, Jesus and Mary), that He actually believed - at first at least - that he was in corrective conformity with Scripture, or most of it, thus the appeal to go to the people of the Book.

Later the absurd assertion that the Bible was radically altered had to be made up to explain the extensive contradictions. Absurd because there is zero mss evidence for the Quranic contradictions, and which would require almost a complete rewritting of the NT and substantiation changes to the old.

And if Rome had the will and power to do so then it did a very poor job, as it would not have been hard to make simple changes or additions such as showing believers kneeing before statutes, and praying to angels and departed saints in Heaven, and or NT pastors being given the same distinctive title as Hebrew priests, and constantly officiating over the Lord's supper as a sacrifice for sins, and means of obtaining spiritual life, and or the whole church looking to Peter as its supreme exalted head in Rome, and infants being baptized, etc.

So THAT is where Joe got his idea from!!


8.We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
