Irenaeus. He was Bishop of Lyon in AD 170. His works are highly esteemed, for he was the disciple of Polycarp, the disciple of John the Apostle. He also knew many who had known the disciples of Christ. Although his writings were numerous, only five have survived. In these, he refutes the falsehoods of deceivers, manifests a remarkable knowledge of pagan writings and misleading heresies and demonstrates his mastery of both the Old and New Testaments. He quotes from all the books of the New Testament, except the letter of the Apostle Paul to Philemon, 3 John and James, because they were unnecessary for his argument. His references are lengthy and they show that the books we have today are the same which were in circulation during his day.

If you are a Muslim, the Purpose of the Qur'an, part one

As you read the Qur'an, you find that its text from beginning to end, assures its readers that it confirms the Holy Bible (Please read the following surahs: The Women 47, 50, 136; Cow 40-42; House of Imran 2, 75; Jonah 28; Table 52,72). The Qur'an pointed at the Bible in many of its verses, giving it the most beautiful and most wonderful descriptive terms, such as: "Guidance and Remembrance to men possessed of mind (Believers 49); "The Book, the Judgement and the prophecy" (Cattle 89); "Example and mercy" (Hood 17); "Light and guidance" (Cattle 154); "Guidance and mercy" (Cattle 154; Stories 43); "Farakan" (divider between good and evil) and remembrance (Prophet 48); "Clear revelation" (Cow 92, 153); "God's judgement" Table 46-48). Even though the Qur'an message is important for Muslims as they seek the truth of God, you will not find in it any provision for deliverance, forgiveness of sins, or assurance for eternity. However, the importance of the Qur'an in its message where it directs its readers straight to the Bible, the Book of Light, Guidance, Mercy and God's judgement; the only Book where sinful men can find the much needed message of salvation and assurance.

The Christians in France. In AD 170, during the reign of the Roman Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, the Christians in France endured terrible persecutions, especially in Lyon and Rouen. They sent letters to their brethren in Asia, informing them about their tribulation and referring to the Gospel of Christ according to Luke and John, to the book of Acts and to Paul's letter to the Romans, Ephesians, and Philippians; also mentioned are 1 Timothy, 1 Peter, 1 John and Revelation. Eusebius preserved most of these letters to us. During these days, Mileto was the famed bishop of Sardis who complied 13 volumes, of which only a few survived. Among his writings is a study of the book of Revelation.

Today's hope for Muslims

It is one of the four Gospels that were inspired to the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. The writer of this Gospel is John who lived with the Lord Jesus during his three years of ministry on earth, he also was an eyewitness of all the events, the miracles and the wonders that the Lord made. Further, he heard personally the Lord's captivating teachings and he was disciplined at the feet of the Savior, learning. John wrote this Gospel before the end of the first century after Christ the proofs of the authenticity and accuracy of this Gospel is in the fact that many of the early patriarchs and great writers and authors mentioned it in their writings every generation that came after John, without any interruption. Ignatius of Antioch, who himself was a disciple of John, mentioned it four times. Also, it was mentioned by Iklimandus of Rome and Barnabas who were his contemporaries. Furthermore, its mention occurred in the writings of Justin the martyr, Irenaus, Athinagoras, Theophilos, Origen, Eusebius, Augustin, and John the Golden Mouth. Those early great unquestionable and indisputable witnesses came uninterruptedly and tightly linked collaboration between the first century and the seventh century after Christ; i.e.. all of those saintly patriarchs and great writers came before Mohammad and testified to the accuracy and the genuineness of the text of the Gospel of John and inerrancy of its inspiration. Moreover, we find other proofs from outside Christianity that testified to the legitimacy of this book, in a number of Muslim Imams such as Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn ElQayyim El-Gawziyya, El-Razi and El-Baydawi quoted from it and referred to it, thus they acknowledge its authenticity and accuracy. Today, there are over eighty ancient manuscripts that completely agree with the text of this Gospel, which is now circulated among us.
