Q: Matthew 5:17-18 17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Here is Jesus saying "not the least stroke of pen will disappear from the law". Why did he say this? I thought he knew the Torah was corrupted? And doesn't this contradict the Quran's saying that the Torah has been corrupted? Straight to the point please. Sarah A- Lovely excuse. Sarah A- Prove to me what parts the of the bible has been changed. Joker- Atheism Joker- Atheism Patrick star- What parts of the bible are changed. At what time? Muhyi- You are giving in? Why? anne- The Quran is quite small compared to the Tanakh don't you think? Plus there lost books from the bible. Meekal- Perfect answer. Meekal: That verse means that the Jews were misinterpreting the scripture. Egyptian Witch- Is that straight to the point? Pali I have a Jewish Tanakh and A greek collection of the New Testament. So I read in the original languages. Thank you very much. Sara A- and Islam does not have any sects? Eygptian- Sorry too long. Meekal: Well make mistakes. Even Muhammad did.
A: I won't try to re-interpret the Bible. However, when Muslims say the Bible has been changed, that is wrong. The Bible HAS changed. It isn't like there was once a true Bible and now there is a wrong Bible. Any Christian knows that the word Bible is not found in the Bible. It is a collection of 66 books which have been written by different authors who said (or are reported to have said) they were inspired of God. Now, the charges made in the Qur'an against SOME Jews and Christians doesn't say anything about the Bible but it is talking about scripture. It explains different way which are taken by SOME Jews and Christians that corrupt the teachings of their prophets (pbut). Among those charges are that they write things by their own hands and they claim that it has come from God. Another thing is that they change the meanings of the words or they conceal meanings. Coming to your question, I don't think that has any conflict with what the Qur'an says. There may still be truth in the Bible, but you can't say that all of the Bible is true. I fail to see anything wrong in those words of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) (if they actually are his words). Even Jeremiah told the Jews that they were writing their own material claiming it came from God: Jeremiah 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath wrought falsely. Sorry if I interpreted that Bible verse wrongfully. I'm not qualified to interpret it. But Jeremiah is either saying they are writing things and claiming its divine origin or that they are misinterpreting it. Sorry if I got that wrong. Of course he did.
