Could you give me the specific Quran reference you are referring to in assertion 4? Also, could you provide scripture references to one or more Old Testament passages which you believe were deceptively altered, and justify your claim that the original text was altered by providing the original as well as the altered version?
Yes, my dear friend.
Yes, I am ready to give you the specific Quran reference . Please read the following verse:
The woe to those who write the Book with their hands and then say, "This is from Alllah", to purchase with it a little price. Woe to them for what their hands have witten and woe to them for that they earn thereby. [2:79]
Let me give you some Old and New Testament passages which show that they are among the altered version.
Deotoronomy is beleived to be written by Moses. If it so, then how can he wirite his death news? Please read this passage:
And Moses, servant of the Lord, dieth there, in the land of Moab, according to the command of Jehovah;
and He burieth him in a valley in the land of Moab, over-against Beth-Peor, and no man hath known his burying place unto this day.
And Moses `is' a son of a hundred and twenty years when he dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled.
And the sons of Israel bewail Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and the days of weeping `and' mourning for Moses are completed.
[Deotoronomy 34: 5-8]Moses writes his death news?
We cannot see the verse of Mark :15: 28 in some authorities. So, we see in the footnote of Revised Standard Version as following:
Other ancient authorities insert verse 28:
And the scripture was fulfilled which says,"He was reckoned with the transgressers.
[Revised Standard Version (Catholic Edition)St. Paul Publications 1979] p.176
Mark 16: 9-20 Passages are also omitted from authorities:
And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons;
she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping;
and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form,
and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.
Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;
and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;
he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.
`And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak;
serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'
The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;
and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with `them', and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.
