validity of bible according to islam
First of all, in regards to the Bible, I as a Muslim believe that it has lots of Truth in it that came from GOD Almighty, or Yahweh or The Eternal in English, or Allah; The Supreme GOD (above all gods) in Arabic. Please visit:
"Allah" was GOD Almighty's original Name in the Bible according to the Hebrew and Aramaic sources.

The problem with the Bible, however, especially the in the New Testament, is that it is all (except for the books of Paul) narrated by third-party people. You do see things such as "And Jesus said to Matthew..." or "when Jesus finished, the disciples stood up...". But you never see things such as "And I (Jesus) said to Matthew...", or "And Jesus said to me (Matthew)....", etc...
The problem with the Bible's New Testament is that it's authenticity and validity are very weak. I can't take Jesus as my Creator (which is indeed a very big and very serious belief) when I have books written in this unprofessional and unGODly style. What we have today in the Bible does not reflect the Truth. What we have today is only what not-appointed-by-GOD men wrote.
When I compare the New Testament to the Noble Quran, I see a big difference. The Noble Quran is perfectly preserved. It was documented on the spot after it was revealed. And because Muslims recite from the Noble Quran in their five daily prayers, and they read the entire Noble Quran during the fasting month of Ramadan, the atmosphere that the Noble Quran lived in was very protective, and truly error-proof. Allah Almighty's promise to preserve the Noble Quran lived. His promise was and is being fulfilled every single day:
"We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption). (The Noble Quran, 15:9)"
