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.

Justin Martyr. Born in a Samarian village in AD 89, he embraced Christianity in AD 133, achieved fame by Ad 140 and was martyred in AD 168. He wrote a number of books in defense of the Christian faith, among them a letter to the emperor, Antonius Pius. He debated with Trypho the Jew and his treatise survives until today. In this work, it is evident that he had studied the philosophies of Pythagoras and Plato and found it wise to embrace the Christian faith. He mentioned all four accounts of the Gospel of Jesus, saying that Christians used to recite them in their places of worship. He also refers to the letters of the Apostles Paul, Peter and John and the book of Revelation. His testimony occupies a paramount place because it is the work of a learned thinker.

A great message for my Muslims friend

Hear my Muslim friend, you attack the Bible, you do not attack the Christians, but you are attacking God himself; in doing so, you are identifying with the accursed Devil in an attempt against the Word of God, before whose Judgement Seat they will stand. Such an act is nothing less than a conspiratorial complicity against God's Holy Book. Do not forget that Satan has found agents to work for him in every age and generation. Those wicked men plot with Satan in ugly attempts to smudge and stain the reputation of the Bible with all kind of accusations and assaults. However, we have to understand that God has given His Word an unconditional, eternal promise that heaven and earth will pass away but His Word will last forever. (Matthew 24:35; Luke 16:17). Don't ever forget that our God has the final word on the Judgement Day. Attacking God's Word is an attack on God Himself; and that is the work of Satan; and man's criticism of God's Word  is nothing less than collusion with God's enemy who uses his agents to conceal the truth by iniquity and exchange God's truth by a lie. Those insist on criticizing God's Word, claiming that they are wise, are nothing less than fools, perverted and perverting and promising liberty for unaware people, when they themselves are bond-slaves of corruption. They did not like to accept the accuracy of the Bible in spite of all the convincing evidence, the solid conformations, the clear affidavits and the irrefutable measures. But they became foolish in their thoughts, and their hearts were darkened. For this reason, God delivered them to a reprobate mind. However, the day will soon come when they will stand before the throne of the Condemning Judge and fall under His formidable condemnation where He will afflict them with His dreadful wrath. Thus, they will  receive the just punishment of their error (Romans 1).
"And woe to the unbelievers for a terrible chastisement (Abraham 2). Therefore, let us not comply with Satan, but rather, let us believe the Bible lest we fall in the net of those who fell under the wrath of God.

Papias, Bishop of Hierapolis. He was well known from AD 110-116. He met with Polycarp and possibly even with John the Apostle. In his writings, he quotes from all four accounts of the Gospel of Christ, 1 Peter, 1 John, The Acts of the Apostles and Revelation.

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?

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.
