Questions

The Bible has been changed and corrupted. Why should I believe anything from your book? 

“Astaghfirullah! God forbid that His scriptures would be corrupted!  Even the Qur’an ((18:27) ) says that his word cannot be changed.  Not only does it say that, but it  affirms the Bible* . But because it differs significantly from the Bible, you have been taught that the Bible was corrupted. 

Why would the Qur’an affirm a corrupt book?  And if it was corrupted, when and how? There were thousands of copies of the New Testament documents circulating around the Mediterranean. It would have been impossible to comprehensively  make alterations to so many copies. Besides, the Bible we have today matches the Bible that would have been known to Christians and Jews at the time of Mohammed. 

Also,  aren’t there things in the Bible that Christians would have changed if given the chance?

If the Christians were to alter or expurgate anything from the gospel, the account of the crucifixion would have been the first thing to be removed or modified.
