The first post in this series showed verses from the Qur’an that teach that the Injeel (the Arabic name Muslims use for the Gospels) is revelation given to us by Allah and that Muslims are called to believe in it. There are blatant contradictions between what is taught within the Qur’an and the Injeel. Muslims handle these contradictions by saying, “The Injeel has been corrupted, and the Qur’an has replaced the Injeel.” There are several responses that a Christian could give to Muslims who say this.
____________________________________________________________________________
Muslims believe that the Qur’an will not be corrupted, since Allah will protect His word.
Muslims will say that the Injeel has gone through many versions and that the real one cannot be found.
They say that Christians have changed many of the stories in the Torah, the Psalms of David, and the Injeel. For instance, Muslims say that Jesus never died on the cross. It was either someone else or an apparition who appeared to be Jesus. This means that Jesus never died, he just ascended into heaven. They also say that Ishmael was the promised son to Abraham, not Isaac, and that Abraham was asked to sacrifice Ishmael.
Christian Understanding
The Injeel is the word of God.
