The distinctives of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Qu'ran, part eight and nine

8) The Lord Jesus stands separate above all humans. He was uniquely incomparable in knowing men's secrets: "I will inform you too of what things you eat and what you treasure up in your houses. Surely in that is a sign for you if you are believers." (House of Imran 49).

9) The Lord Jesus Christ was matches in making the miracles and the wonders which no other could make: "And I will also heal the blind and the leper. (House of the Imran49).

The Apocryphal New Testament writings, Part One

Objection: The Christians have lost 11 parts of the Gospel which were attributed to Christ. They have also lost nine letters from John, two from Andrew, Mathew, Philip and one from James; accounts of the Gospel by Bartolomew, Thomas, James and Matthews and some acts of Christ's apostles-four of Thomas and two of Matthew. There is another collection of books which the Christians also lost; there are attributed to authors whose names we cannot find anywhere.

Response: Christianity commands us to inquire and search: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1). This means we are to use our minds to differentiate between true guidance and error.
Christianity warns us against accepting distorted teachings. The Apostle Paul warned the people of Galatia against accepting teachings other than what he had taught them. He said, "But even if we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8). In 2 Timothy 1:13, Paul said, "Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus." In Revelation 22:18-19, the Apostle John says: "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book." However, Muhammad said: "If you hear about something I said, which you did not know but cannot deny, whether I really said it or not, then believe it, for I do not speak what is unknown or deniable. If you hear about something I said, which you did not know but deny, then reject it, for I do not speak what  is unknown or deniable" (related by al-Hakeem al-Turmuzi). This principle was the reason behind the entry of hundreds of thousands of fabricated saying!
The first Christians and the leading scholars who were contemporaries of the disciples never mentioned these works in their writings. Neither Clement, Ignatius, nor Hermas, who all wrote from AD 70 to AD 180, mentions any of these manuscripts.

The distinctives of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Qu'ran, part Six and seven

6)The Arabian Messenger himself, Mohammad, testified to the perfection of the Lord Jesus Christ. He taught that the Lord Jesus Christ was solely the one among all humans, past present and future, who was not touched by the evil one. Mohammad was quoted by El-Bukhari: "Satan pokes with his finger the side of every human, at birth, expect Jesus, son of Mary; when he came poke Him, he poked the Curtain."

7) The Lord Jesus Christ without exception was exclusively distinguished in the Qur'an from all other humans, including all prophets, in fact that He was the Creator. The Qur'an attributed this saying to Jesus: "I will create for you out of the clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will breath into it and it will be a bird. (House of Imran 49). No body else has ever created any living thing, out of clay except the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

No one burned or disposed of the original scripts of the Gospel, as was the case with some ancient books when someone wanted to hide or conceal parts for personal reasons. Rather, these original scripts remained as they were and after the second century many copies were made from them; these still exist today.

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

According to the Qur'an, only Jesus, and in exception to all humans, spoke while in the Cradle (Mary 22-32). In other words, the Qur'an tells us that Christ needed no one to teach Him anything, not even how to speak and the Bible says this concern: "Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord or being his counselor hath taught him? .......who taught him in the path of judgement and taught him knowledge and shewed to him the way of Understanding?" (Isaiah 40:13-14)
Naturally, no one can teach the One who emanated from God and was called the Word of God.
