This can be debated, but the point I am making is the Qu'ran contains some actions which Jesus supposedly did and some things which Jesus supposedly said. According to your logic, how do we know Jesus did those things which were said in the Qu'ran? After all, the things about Jesus revealed in the Qu'ran came hundreds of years after the things about Jesus revealed in the New Testament. Not to mention the things revealed about Jesus in the New Testament was prophecied in the Old Testament thousands of years before your beloved prophet was even born.
Well, you either think the Prophet (pbuh) lied or told the Truth. Since we know the Qur'an is exactly what he said, you either accept it all as Truth or decide it contains lies. So it's not a piecemeal thing. Disbelieving something about Jesus (pbuh) in the Qur'an is akin to disbelief in Islam.
However, the same isn't true for the Bible. The Bible claims to have what Jesus (pbuh) said, but can't be traced back to him. So disbelief in the Bible doesn't entail disbelief in Jesus (pbuh) OR calling him a liar, because you don't even know if what the Bible said Jesus said is actually what he said, but it DOES entail disbelief in one of the authors of the Bible.
The dead sea scrolls (which date back to the time before Christ) and tons of other manuscript evidence verifies the teachings of the New Testament. Oh, and before I forget your Qu'ran verifies the biblical scriptures we have today ( suras 2:136; 3:2-3; 4:136; 5:47-52,68; 10:95; 21:7; and 29:46) because the biblical scriptures that were in Muhammed's time are the same that we have today. Also, since when are you Muslims so concerned with something being true if only the person being talked about in the scripture is the author of the scripture? Allah did not write the Qu'ran with His bear hands (otherwise, there wouldn't be any variants whatsoever) and yet you accept the Qu'ran as the word of God? Hypocracy looms on the horizon!
Those Surahs talk about the revelations given to the Prophets, and Moses' (pbuh) Torah and Jesus' (pbuh) Injeel, not the Torah and Bible of either Muhammad's (pbuh) time OR today. It talks about the actual revelations, it didn't say they match what was preserved of them.
Second of all, there aren't any "variants' of the Qur'an. The text is the same, but there are different ways to recite it.
Yyyy...yes it does!
haha, no.
Because the overwhelming evidence says it does. God is not capricious.
God isn't, but people are.
No, Muhammed brought a different/false revelation, because his revelation (according to the Qu'ran) contradicts revelations God had already set in the past, and God forewarns His followers of false revelations to come. God prophecies and forewarns, He does not edit.
You don't even have the past revelations to compare to the Qur'an, that's the whole point. The Torah and Bible of today aren't the ones that were revealed.
Also, only God has the authority to change His own laws, not people.
