According to Muslims, are the Bible have been changed? Part Eight

The Qur'an testifies in tens of its verses in favor of the Old and the New Testaments, but we will quote only the following verses:

"And the have the Torah wherein is God's judgement ... Surely We sent down the Torah wherein is guidance and light; thereby the prophets give their judgement  ...
And We brought the Gospel wherein there is guidance and light and confirming that which is in His hand of the Torah and guidance and admonition unto the godly .....
And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel aforetime as guidance unto the people.."
(The Table 43-48; House of Imran 3).

The Qur'an continued in praising the Bible by insisting on the impossibility of altering the Book: "There is no altering to God's words." (Cave 26 & Cattle 34 &115). "Thou shalt not find altering to the law of God." (Jonah 65; the Cave 26, Victory 23) Then the Qur'an insists that the Bible itself is the Remembrance. As a matter of fact, every time the Qur'an mentioned the word Remembrance, it referred to the Bible not to the Qur'an (the Prophets 7, 48, 105) Please, look that up, for yourself, in the Qu'an. No wonder then it stressed the point: "We have sent down the Remembrance and We are surely Keeping it (from any foul play)." (El-Hijr9).
If God emphasized that He Himself inspired the Remembrance (which is the Gospel) and that He would keep it and guard it; how could a Muslim or a nominal Christian, be audacious enough to accuse the Almighty God of being a liar? How can they accuse Him that He was not mighty enough to guard His Word against any alteration or change? How can man criticize the living Word of God and slap God with accusations and ugly lies?

Muslims needs to read this about the early church leaders, part five

Polycarp. He was a disciple of John the Apostle who appointed him Bishop of Smyrna. He knew many who had seen Christ. Only one of his writings survives- a treatise in which he quotes some 40 items from various books of the New Testament. The original Greek survives, minus two or three chapters; however, the Latin translation exists in its entirety. In his treatise, he mentioned Christ's humility, teaching,s, suffering, death on the cross, resurrection and ascension into heaven. He also refers to the hardship Paul and the other apostles endured in their preaching and evangelism. Finally, he mentions some of the teachings of Christ and quotes from John and others who had been with Him.  Polycrap died a martyr in AD 166.
