Many Muslim apologists like to attack the Bible by claiming that the text has been tampered with and corrupted. Yet in doing so, they undermine the Qur’an which claims this is not the case at all. They cannot have it both ways. If they believe the Qur’an, then they must affirm that the text of the Bible has been preserved by God.

As Dr. James White has stated, “It is great to hear someone whose origins are from “the other side” of the divide confirming what we have been saying repeatedly in reference to this vital issue (i.e., he knows the Islamic sources from the inside though he is a convert). A full and complimentary study would be found in Gordon Nickel’s vital work from 2011, Narratives of Tampering in the Earliest Commentaries on the Qur’an (Brill). The brightest and best of our opponents in the Islamic world need to start realizing that walking the path charted by Ibn Khazem which leads you to walk next to agnostics and skeptics like Bart Ehrman leads inevitably to the destruction of your own faith and text. It is grossly inconsistent with not only your world-view, but with the Qur’an as well!”

This week I was singled out for attack by a former professing Christian apostate Paul Williams now Muslim Sam Shamoun kindly sent me a link to rebuttals he has provided to Mr Williams over time. Sam covers such subjects as:

• The Quran’s Fables, Myths and Conflicting Tales
• A Muslim Dawagandist Asks A Question
• Islam’s and Substitutionary Atonement
• Jesus Is indeed God Incarnate Which Is Why He Is Able To Forgive Sins!
• Was Jesus’ Sacrificial Death Necessary for the Forgiveness of Sins?
• Jesus Christ – Our Gloriously Divine Mediator
• Who is Islam’s Real Savior?

Islam teaches that shirk (Arabic: ???? širk) is the sin of idolatry or polytheism, i.e. the deification or worship of anyone or anything other than the singular God, or more literally the establishment of “partners” placed beside God. Within Islam, shirk is an unforgivable crime; God may forgive any sin except shirk.

According to this Islamic scholar, “Saying ‘Merry Christmas’ is worse than fornication or killing someone.”

“To our Muslim readers: We (Christians) worship one God, who has manifested Himself in Three Persons. One Yahweh, one God, Three Persons. No association of anything created or non-eternal. No married gods, no wives or consorts (contra Q. 6:101). Three co-equal and co-eternal Persons sharing fully the one, indivisible being of God. While the Qur’an attempts to identify this as shirk, the author of the Qur’an clearly did not understand the doctrine he was seeking to deny.” – Dr. James White

Ravi Zacharias responds to two challenging questions raised by a Muslim:

Here are two outstanding presentations on the subject of Islam, made by my friend Dr. James White. As you watch them, I am sure you will note both the respect in which the topic is handled as well as the sincere desire to be accurate in what is said. This is important information for both the Christian and the Muslim in our day.

Dr. John MacArthur preached this message just a few days after the 9/11 attacks on America. It took a lot of guts to say this then, and it takes the same kind of intestinal fortitude to say it now.

From June, 2011, at Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, Dr. James White teaches five sessions on the topic of Islam. An outstanding and comprehensive overview.
