My Muslim friend, The Historical Reliability of the Gospel, part Five

The word Injil ("Gospel") is an Arabic translation of the Greek word Evangelion which means "happy message" or "good news," for it proclaims to all the absolute love of God towards sinners through the atoning death of Christ on their behalf; whoever truly believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Before addressing the belief that the Gospel of the Christians has been abrogated, we would say that anyone can accuse someone with whatever accusation he likes-but if there is no convincing evidence to back the accusation, it becomes null and void. Thus, those who say that the Gospel has been abrogated are obliged to mention:

• The original state of the verses abrogated
• The names of those who abrogated the Gospel, the time of abrogation and the purpose behind it.
• How the Gospel managed to be abrogated when, by the second century, thousands of Gospel texts had already spread to different countries in several languages.
• The method the abrogators used to cover up the alleged abrogation, which only the opponents of Christianity supposedly discovered and that hundreds of years after the alleged abrogation had taken place.

Since the opponents did not support their accusation with evidence, their accusation is baseless and ineffective. Nevertheless, we have examined the accusation from different perspectives, coming to the conclusion that the Gospel is free from any abrogation:

The early Christians kept even the false accounts of the Gospel and made them available to interested readers. The Christians of the second through fourth centuries did not burn the books that heretics wrote about Christ; these heretics called their writings "gospels," in an attempt to make them believable. The early Christians kept false gospels, for they were absolutely sure about the authenticity of the Gospel they had in their hands. Moreover, they also printed and spread these false gospels in many languages, according to the principle of free speech, and gave people of all ages the chance to compare the content of these books with that of the true Gospel. This shows clearly the honesty and impartiality of the early Christians. Consequently, no one can accuse the early Christians of having any changes in the Gospel.

The distinctives of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Qu'ran, part Five

 Only Jesus Christ was restrictively distinguished from all prophets and saints with His infallibility and was the only one to be singled out, even in the Qur'an for His perfection. He was an exception because "High honored shall He be in this world and the next" (Surah of the Imran 45).
We need to read John 8:46, "Which of you convineth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?"
The Bible teaches us that "all have sinned" without any exception. Also, the Qur'an mentions that all the prophets, fell under sin including Adam (Tah 116). Abraham (Poets 82). Moses (Poets 20), David (Sad 25), and Mohammed (Victory 2, Mohammed 21, Believer 57). In the meantime, the Qur'an testifies that Jesus is not only exception distinguishes among all men, who is infallible of faults and sins. The Qur'an expounded on this subject saying: "Blessed He has made me, wherever I may be." (Mary 31); also it says: "High honored shall he be in this world and the next." (House of Imran 45). El-Razi gave his interpretation of this verse saying: "He is high honored in this world by reason that He is blameless and in "the next" because of His great righteousness and the superiority of His position before God." (Volume 3; page 686). The conclusion of this is that the Qur'an and the Muslim scholars have acknowledge that infallibility and perfection belonged exclusively to Christ, at the time that such attributes belong only to God. All the prophets conceded that they had sinned and erred and none of them claimed to be infallible. How could Christ be the One and only perfect and infallible One, if He Himself was not God, to whom belong perfection and infallibility? No human can be infallible, for all have sinned. Therefore, by necessary Jesus is God.
