Error in the Bible?


I hope that you, my Muslim  friend, will understand that the Bible is from God.
Surah 2:136 says,

Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

I do not believe in the Koran but you do. Surah 10:64 says,

For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words of Allah . That is what is the great attainment.

Know also this Surah. Surah 5:47 says,

And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,  so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.


Objection: The generations in the second part of the three divisions mentioned by Matthew consist of 18 men, not 14, as is clear from 1 Chronicles 3:10-16. Also, Matthew 1:8 says that Joram begat Uzziah. This is wrong because Uzziah is the son of Ahaziah, son of Joash, son of Amaziah. These three are among the famous princes described in 2 Kings 8, 12, 14 and 2 Chronicles 22, 24 and 25. This a blatant error.

Response: Matthew omitted Uzziah, Joash and Amaziah, because Jehoram was of Ahaziah's line through Ahab, the pagan, whose wife was the notorious Jezebel. Thus, the deletion of those names was a punishment for Jehoram's guilty house to the fourth generation. God has said: "..I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those THAT HATE ME..." (Exodus 20:5)

We can assume that Matthew abbreviated the genealogy to make it easier to remember. Ezra dis thew same when he set out to prove that he was of Aaron's line; he dropped six generations from his list (compare Ezra 7:1-5 and 1 Chronicles 6:3-15). Ezra's purpose was brevity. Similarly, Muslims say that Muhammad was the son of Hashem, whereas he was the son of Abdullah son of Abd al-Muttalib b. Hashem. In the Hadith, Muhammad is recorded as having said, "I am the son of the two slain"-that is, of Abdullah and Ismael b. Ibrahim.

Matthew may also have ignored these names because one of them -Joash- was not buried in the Tombs of the Kings (2 Chronicles 24:25) and the other two murder were murdered. Also, their grandfather Jehoram was descended from Ahab the pagan.

It is our duty as intelligent beings to investigate those things of which we are ignorant, but our inquiry should be carried out in humility and awareness of our fallibility and weakness. We must not proudly make grandiose claims, deny inspiration and close our ears to the truth. God in His superior wisdom and holiness saw fit to delete these three kings from the list.

Who is Jesus?

SURAH 43:63 When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me."

Are you an Muslim or do you know Muslims? I will bring you some information.
People that have accepted Jesus do not have to believe in the Qur'an but if the Muslim has to believe in the Bible.

It's far from it that the Christians believe that God married a woman from whom He begot a son in a sexual, congenital birth, after the manner of men. But the Sonship of Christ to God is a spiritual, sublime Sonship wherein the Son emanated from the Father in the beginning; i.e., in eternity before time. El-Ghazzali, one of the most famous and greatest Muslim scholars, excelled as he described the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, in his book THE BEAUTIFUL REPY, saying: "The Christians believe that the Self of the Creator, the Most High, is one in essence, but it has considerations.
When the existence is considered not contingent on anything else, then it is the absolute existence, and that is what they call the Person of the Father. But if it was considered contingent on another existence, as science is contingent on the existence of the world, such is the definite existence and that is what they call the Person of the Son, or the Word. And when it is considered contingent on the power of His reasoning, emanating from Him, then, that also is a definite existence, and they call it the Person of the Holy Spirit, because the Self of the Creator is reasoned through Him."

In a word, El-Ghazzali, the well-known Muslim scholar, proved his in-depth and genuine understanding of the Holy Trinity and he expressed it grandiloquently and genuinely, proving that the son emanated from the Father and that He was equal to Him. All those attributes that are distinctive of Christ in the Bible and the Qur'an are but the solid proof and clear evidence of Christ's deity.

John 1:49

Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
