Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the day of resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto Me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute." (Sura 3:55)
O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: as said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the Disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed. (Sura 61:14)
According to these passages, Allah gave Christ’s followers the power to prevail over the disbelievers, and made them superior till the day of resurrection.
Yet the ones that prevailed were the Apostles such as Paul. This means that if the Qur'an is correct, then Paul’s writings in the New Testament are the truth since this has become dominant and has prevailed over all other opposing messages.
Take care!
Good luck in attempting to play games with the Qur'an as many do with the Bible.
Again, Allah (pbuh) also gave Solomon power - and David power, etc...
Jesus Himself chose Judas as an Apostle, knowing he would betray Him. He chose all of the Apostles, knowing how all them would fall away.
All sinned. All fell away from God.
Jesus Christ, not the Apostles, is the only WAY to Knowledge of the Father. The Qur'an is one of those wonderful places He will lead you.
Or do you use God's Word to contradict God's Word on that subject as well?
