Re: Interfaith Dialogue (Jesus PBUH and Muhammad PBUH) - Islam and Christianity
Did you read what I wrote in the discussion of Scriptures about this reference?
USResident tried to get away by stating that the Injeel was not a book but an unwritten teaching/gospel. I pointed out to him that the way it is written in the Qur’an actually let a person think it is a book not a verbal teaching/gospel. Your point 1 actually confirms my position on this.
Jesus NEVER wrote a book and NEVER asked/commanded his disciples to write one. As I said then and now, the prophet Muhammad was mistaken on this point - not trying to be blashphemous or libelous.
As above pointed out, you can now see how wrong this assumption is.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that the Qur’an mentions Jesus’ birth and death. Nothing in between.
The problem is that the death of Jesus is so well documented that no one can disagree (except if you are a Muslim and HAVE to believe the Qur’an above ALL other facts and proofs) that Jesus WAS killed. In the discussion on Scriptures I gave two renown historians in the time of Jesus that DO mention the crucifiction, and then there are various Roman documents also referring to the fact.
The Qur’an doesn’t and can’t make the claim. It doesn’t because it just does not make a statement saying the Gospels are authentic. It can’t because the prophet Muhammad had no idea what was written in the New Testament. It does though by NOT making a statement to the negative, open the view that the New Testament “might” be correct. This again can’t be true because if it is true, then the Qur’an is incorrect and not perfect. I therefor understands why Muslims (not the Qur’an but Muslims by themselves) HAVE to say the New Testament is incorrect/corrupt. The point I wish to make is that the Qur’an does not have this view. Are there any references to this issue in the ahadith?
I will come back to you because I will need to quickly flip through my notes…
