GOD IS NOT THE
AUTHOR OF THE BOOK THAT UNDERWENT REVISIONChristian authorities
until now are coming up with revisions after revisions and translations
after translations of the Bible. But while they are trying to make
it appear to the public that it is "the word of God",
the different revisions of the Bible by men however, simply belie
such an assertion. In fact, these revisions serve as concrete proofs
that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This
is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his
Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect. Even the Bible also
perceives God to be perfect (Matthew 5:48); and that His
words are pure (Proverbs 30:5); living and powerful (Hebrews
4:12). As such, no man nor any group of men should ever revise
God's Book.To come up with millions,
if not billions of copies of any of the versions and revisions of
the Bible does not only entail a waste of money and other resources
but more so, a waste of time and effort on the part of its patrons.
The Bible, touted to be a Holy Book by Christians but surprisingly,
is not I for God did not say so, will just create confusions and
deceptions to peoples. This work, just like any of our publications
does not intend to insult the Christians of any sect and denominations
but to guide and enlighten them to the Truth.Anyone who reads
the Bible will never find a single verse in it that claims that
God is its Author. Neither did He inspired it's different authors.
Instead, one will read the following Biblical verse that clearly
implies that God is not the author of the Bible:"For God is
not the author of confusion but of peace...."(1 Corinthians
14:33)The Bible, written
by men, creates confusions instead of guidance. It encourages diversity
instead of unity and sects instead of universal brotherhood. Above
all, it teaches mysteries in life instead of truthful teachings.
The worst effect of the Bible is for man to deny the existence of
his Creator. It is because of the absurdities and confusion of dogmas
it inculcates in the minds of many people. Without knowing the Qur'an
as the Book of God readers of the Bible who know its real nature
become atheists. There are American scholars who became atheists
because of their disbelief in the Bible. Some of them even wrote
about the defective nature of the Bible, for instance, G.W. Foote
and W.P. Ball jointly wrote "The Bible Handbook". The
American Atheist Press (John Bowden, ed. 1982, p. 37) made the observations
of the said handbook: "Everything I share: absurdities, indecencies,
contradiction, unfilled prophecies, broken promises of god, obscenities,
sadomasochism, and impossibilities."Robert G. Ingersoll
came up with a booklet concerning the Bible entitled "A Few
Resorts for Doubting the Inspiration of the Bible". He enumerated
more than 60 different reasons who mans should not believe in the
Bible as "an inspired". In "The Bible Contradicts
Itself" (1982) edited by John Bowden readers would find
it very tiresome to verify in the Bible many contradictions enumerated
therein. The more than 200 discrepancies exposed by the author are
sufficient proofs to negate the extravagant and wholly untrue claim
that "the Bible is the Word of God". For other presentation
of the contradictions and errors of the Bible, readers may find
Ahmad Deedat's "Is the Bible God's Word?" (1980) and Maula
na M. Rahmatullah Kairvanvi's book, "Izhar-ul-Haq part 2: Contradictions
and Errors in the Biblical Text" (1989) very scholarly.Also, it must be
pointed out that the Christian readers of the Bible cannot deny
the truth that the Bible exist in different versions. Different
versions also call for several revisions to correct the inconsistencies
and errors in the Bible. We except its authors to commit inconsistencies
because of the individuals references. They commit errors because,
as human beings, they are subject to mistake. Very clear. Christian
Publisher who kept on producing many revisions of the Bible are
only deceiving peoples of the World. Examples of the revisions are
follows:William Tyndale,
1525; Corvedale, 1535; the Great Bible, 1539; the Geneva, 1560;
Rheims, 1582; King James version 1611; the 1769 Revision of the
King James Version; Revision of the King James Version, 1870; English
Revised Version 1881-1885; American Standard Version 1901; Revision
of the American standard version, 1937; Revised Standard Version
of New Testament, 1946; Revision Standard Version of the Bible,
1952; Second Edition of the Translation of the New Testament, 1971;
The New King James Version, 1979.Why should any sensible
man be the object of glaring deception when different men have revised
the Bible for many times? How come the Bible has undergone many
revisions?Why until now, the
Christian World keep on revising the Bible? For instance, just very
recently, the National Council of Churches in the U.S. sponsored
a major verse-by-verse over haul of the Revised Standard Version
(RSV) of 1952. They aimed to come up with the New Revised Standard
Version. Rev. Bruce Metzer, the New Revised chief translator mentions:"No fewer than
26 modern English translation have appeared during the lnadmark
Revised Standard Version of 1952. This month a major verse-by-verse
over haul of the work.... The New revised Standard Version is being
shipped to America Bookstores. In the around the world, for both
private reading and public worship.... But as more and more new
translation and revisions jostle for market position, the familiar
King James phrase are gradually obligated from the common memory
bank of the English-speaking peoples, barring a miracle, it appears
there will never again be a single standard English Bible - and
that is a wrenching change for Christendom." (Richard N. Osting,
"Farewell to Thee's and He's," Time, May 21, 1990, p 59).It must be pointed
out that the Reviser of the Revised Standard Version of the New
Testament named the King James as their Original source. Unfortunately,
the Revisers of the King James Version based it upon the Greek text
that was "marred by mistake, containing the accumulated errors
of the fourteen centuries of manuscript copying." This bold
criticism about the Bible comes from the Christian authorities themselves.
The Christian scholars responsible for the Revised Standard Version
mention this in the first Preface of the Revised Standard Version
published in 1952 by the Melton Book Company, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.,
the Reviser made the following comments of the King James Version:"Yet the King
James Version has grave defects. By the middle of the nineteenth
century, the development of Biblical studies and the discovery of
many manuscripts more ancient than those upon which the King James
Version was based, made it manifest that these defects are so many
serious as to call for revision of the English translation."
(1952, p 3).Concerning the translation
of the Bible, the English speaking peoples until now could not agree
with a real standard translation of the Bible. Different groups
of Bible scholars have been coming up with the translations of the
Bible. The Christian World could not agree which, of the various
English translation of the Bible they should follow "for private
and public worship." They get confused as to which, of the
following "four popular translations of the Bible" really
serves as the standardised translation of the Bible: The King James
Version, the Amplified New Testament, the Living New Testament,
or the Revised Standard Version.When will the Christian
World stop revising and translating the Bible? Will they ever come
up with a final standard version of the Bible? These questions pose
confusions to the readers of the Bible who truly seek the Truth
and Divine Guidance. Unless they will read and believe the Qur'an
as the Book in Truth from Allah, the One and Only God, they will
never get away from the confusions that the numerous discrepancies
instil in the minds of the readers.GOD IS NOT THE
AUTHOR OF THE BOOK THAT BELITTLES HIMIf God is the author
of the Bible or that God did inspire its different author, how come
the Bible speaks of God, contrary to His very own divine nature?
Take for the example the verses allow himself to create confusions
about himself? Could one belittle his self? Similarly, is it inconsistencies
in the Bible concerning God?1. Are there other
"gods" beside God?Exodus 20-1-6; Isaiah
43:10;44:6 Versus Deuteronomy 6;14; 1 Chronicles 16:25; Psalm 82:1,6;
Jeremiah 10:11; Zephaniah 2:11; John 10:34."I am the
Lord your God. Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of
the House of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not take for your self any carved image, or any likeness
of anything that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not
bow down to them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God.,
but showing mercy to thousand to those who love Me and keep my
commandments."(Exodus 20:1-6)
"You are My
witness, says the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen, that
you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before
Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me."(Isaiah 44:6)
The following are
some Biblical verses that claim that there are gods beside God:"You shall
not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round
about you."(Deuteronomy
6:14)"And the temple
which I build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods."(2 Chronicles
2:5)"For the LORD
is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above
all gods."(Chronicles
16:25)"God stands
in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods."(Psalm 82:1)
"I said, You
are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High."(Psalm 82:1)
"Thus you
shall say to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and
the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens'."(Jeremiah 10:11)
"The LORD
will be awesome to them , for He will reduce to nothing to nothing
all the gods of the earth; people shall worship Him, each from
his place, indeed all the shores of the nations."(Zephaniah 2:11)
"Jesus answered
them, 'Is it not written in your law,' I said, 'You are gods'."(John 10:34)
2. Is there a
man greater than or equal to God?Is it not that God
is infinite - He has no beginning and no end? Because, if God is
merely the first, then somebody must have created Him and that somebody
must be the One and only true God. How come Melchizedek according
to Paul had such qualities?Isaiah 48:12 Versus
Hebrews 7:1-3:"Listen to,
me O Jacob and Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am
also the last."(Isaiah 48:12
)The Bible characterises
Melchizedek as greater than God for it says that "he has no
beginning of days nor end of life"; Whereas, God is merely
the "First"."For this
Melchizedek, king of Salem....meaning, "king of peace".
Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither
of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains
a priest continually."(Hebrews 7:1-3)
3. Does God dwell
in darkness or in light or in heaven?1 Timothy 6:15-16;
Isaiah 66:1 Versus 1 Kings 8:12; Psalm 18:11:"Which He
will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only
Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has
immortality in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can
see, to whom be honour and everlasting power. Amen."(1 Timothy 6:15-16)
"Thus says
the LORD: 'Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. Where
is the house that you will build Me?"(Isaiah 66:1)
The Bible shows that
God dwells in darkness:"Then Solomon
spoke: "The LORD said HE would dwell in the dark cloud."(1 Kings 8:12)
"He made darkness
His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters and thick
clouds of the skies."(Psalm 18:11)
4. Do people see
God or not?Jeremiah 10:10; John
1:18 5:37; John 5:37; 1 John 4:12; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 Timothy 6:16-17;
Hebrews 11:27 Versus Genesis 26:2; Genesis 35:9; Exodus 24:9-10;
Job 42:5; Amos 9:1 Genesis 26:2:"But the Lord
is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble, and the nations will not
be able to abide His indignation."(Jeremiah 10:10)
"No one has
seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom
of the Father, He has declared Him."(John 1;18)
"And the Father
Himself, who sent Me has testified of Me. You have neither heard
His voice at anytime, nor seen His form."(John 5:37)
"Now to the
King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be
honour and glory forever and ever. Amen."(1 Timothy 1:17)
"....He who
is the blessed and only potentate, the King of Kings and Lord
of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable
light, whom be honour and everlasting forever. Amen."(1 Timothy 6:15-16)
"By faith
he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the King; for he endured
as seeing Him who is invisible."(Hebrews 11:27)
"No has seen
God at anytime. If we love one another, God abides in us, and
His love has been perfect in us."(1 John 4:12)
The Bible narrates
that there were men who saw God:"Then the
LORD appeared to him and said; 'Do not got down to Egypt; dwell
in the land of which I shall tell you."(Genesis 26:2)
"Then God
appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed
him".(Genesis 35:9)
"Then Moses
went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders
of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under
His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was
like the very heavens in its clarity."(Exodus 24:9-10)
"I have heard
of You by the ear, but now my eye sees You."(Job 42:5)
"I saw the
Lord standing by the altar, and He said: 'Strike the doors post,
that the threshold may shake'...."(Amos 9:1)
5. Can anyone
see God's face and live or perish?Exodus 33:20 Versus
Genesis 32:30; Exodus 323:11; Numbers 12:6-8:"But He said,
'You cannot see my Face; for no man shall see Me, and live."(Exodus 33:20)
There were Prophets
who had seen God's face and lived as narrated below:"And Jacob
called the name of the place Peniel: 'For I have seen God face
to face, and my life is preserved."(Genesis 3:30)
"So the LORD
spoke to Moses face to face, as man speaks to his friend. And
he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of
Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle."(Exodus 33:11)
"Then He said,
Hear now My words: 'If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD,
make Myself known to him in a vision and I speak to him in a dream.
Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house.
I speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not in a dark
sayings; and sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not
afraid to speak against My servant Moses?"(Numbers 12:6-8)
6. Does God make
lies or not?Titus 1:1; Hebrews
6:18 Versus Kings 22:22-23; Judges 9:23:"In hope of
eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began."(Titus 1:1)
"Two immutable
things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have
strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the
hope set before us."(Hebrews 6:18)
The following Biblical
verses narrate that God created lies:"The LORD
said to him, 'In what way?" So he said, 'I will go out and
be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets, 'And He said.
'You shall pursue him, and also prevail. Go out and do so. Now
therefore, look! The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth
if ask these prophets of yours, and the LORD has declared disaster
against you."(1 Kings 22:22-23)
"God sent
a spirit of ill will between Abimelech and the men of Shechem;
and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech."(Judge 9:23)
7. Are all the
commandments or words of God pure or not all pure?Psalm 19:8; Proverbs
30;5 Versus Hosea 1:2; Hosea 3:1:"The Statutes
of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of
the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes."(Psalm 19:8)
"Every word
of God is pure; he is a shield to those who put their trust in
Him."(Proverbs 30:5)
God's words are not
all pure as narrated in the following Biblical verses:"When the
LORD began to speak by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea: 'Go, take
yourself a wife of harlotry, for the land has committed great
harlotry by departing from the LORD."(Hosea 1:2)
"Then the
LORD said to me, 'Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover
and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for
the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin
cakes of the pagan."(Hosea 3:1)
8. Is God omnipresent
or not?Job 34:21-22; Hebrews
4:13 Versus Genesis 3:8, 11:5, 18:23:"For His eyes
are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps. There is no
darkness not shadow of death where the workers of iniquity may
hide themselves."(Job 34:21-22)
"And therein
no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and
open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."(Hebrews 4:13)
God is not omnipresent
as narrated in the Bible, to wit:"And they
heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence
of the LORD God among trees of the garden."(Genesis 3:8)
"But the Lord
came down and see the city and the tower which the sons of men
had built."(Genesis 11:5)
"I will go
down now see whether they have done altogether according to the
outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know."(Genesis 18:23)
9. Is God all-powerful
or not at all?Jeremiah 32:17 Versus
Judges 1:19; Malachi 3:8-9:"Ah, Lord
GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by your great
power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You."(Jeremiah 32:17)
The Bible portrays
as one who is not all-power at all times as evidenced below:"So the LORD
was with Judah. And they drove out the inhabitants of the mountains,
but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because
they had chariots of iron."(Judges 1:19)
"Will a man
rob God? Yet you robbed Me! But you say, 'In what way have we
robbed You? In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse,
for you have robbed Me, even this whole nation."(Malachi 3:8-9)
10. Does God have
the power to help always or not?2 Chronicles 25:8
Versus Judges 1:19:"But if you
god, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, God shall make you
fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow."(2 Chronicles
25:8)The Bible shows that
God has no power to help always, to wit:"So the LORD
was with Judah. And they drove out the inhabitants of the mountains,
but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because
they had chariots of iron."(Judges 1:19)
11. Does God repent
or never repent?Numbers 23:19 Versus
Genesis 6:6-7:"God is not
a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent."(Numbers 23:19)
The Bible narrates
that God did repent, to quote:"And the LORD
was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved
in His heart. So that LORD said, 'I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping
thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."(Genesis 6:6-7)
12. Is God changeable
or not?Malachi 3:6 Versus
Exodus 33:1,3,14,17; Samuel 2:30-31; Jonah 3:10:"For I am
the Lord, I dot change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons
of Jacob."(Malachi 3:6)
"Then the
LORD said to Moses, 'Depart and go up from here, you and the people
whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land of
which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'To your descendants
I will give it'… 'Go up to a land following with milk and
honey; for I will not go up in your midst, lest I consume you
on the way, for your are a stiff-necked people'. And He said,
'My Presence will go with you, and will give you rest.' Then the
LORD said to Moses, 'I will also do this thing that you have spoken;
for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name."(Exodus 33:1,3,14,17)
"Therefore
the LORD God of Israel says: 'I said indeed that your house of
your father would walk before Me forever'; but now, the LORD says:
'Far it from Me; for those who honour Me I will honour, and those
who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed. Behold, the days are
coming that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father's
house, so that there will not be an old man in your house."(Samuel 2:30-31)
"Then God
saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God
relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon
them, and He did not do it."(Jonah 3:10)
13. Does God know
what is in the hearts of men or does He still have to know it?Acts 2:19 Versus
Deuteronomy 8:2:"And they
prayed and said, 'You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show
which of these two You have chosen."(Acts 2:19)
The Bible says God
has still to know what is in the hearts of men:"And you shall
remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty
years in the wildness, to humble you and test you, to know what
was in your heat, whether you would keep His commandments or not."(Deuteronomy
8:2)14. Is God a prince
of peace or man of war?Isaiah 9:6 Versus
Exodus 15:3:"And His name
will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace."(Isaiah 9:6)
The Bible clearly
asserts that is a "man of war":"The LORD
is a man of war; the LORD is His name."(Exodus 15:3)
15. Is God peaceful
or far from peaceful?Romans 15:33; 1 Corinthians
14:33 Versus Psalm 144:1 Exodus 15:3:"For God is
not the author of confusions but of peace, as in all churches
of the saint."(1 Corinthians
14:33)The Bible stresses
that God is far from peaceful:"Blessed be
the LORD my Rock, who is strains my hands for war, and my fingers
for battle -"(Psalm 144:1)
"The LORD
is a man of war; the LORD is His name."(Exodus 15:3)
16. Could God
be man?Job 9:32; Hosea 11:10;
Numbers 23:19 Versus Exodus 15:3:"For He is
not a man, as I am, that I may answer Him, and that we should
go to court together."(Job 9:32)
"I will not
execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephaim.
For I am God, and not man, the Holy lie, nor a son of man, that
He should repent."(Numbers 23:19)
The Bible says that
God is man:"The LORD
is a man of war; the LORD is His name."(Exodus 15:3)
17. Does Holiness
pertain to God alone or not?Revelation 15:4 Versus
Exodus 19:6; Leviticus 11:44; Psalm 86:2; Isaiah 6:13:"Who shall
not fear You, O Lord and glorify Your name? For You alone are
holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for your
judgements have been manifested."(Revelation
15:4)Holiness does not
pertain to God alone as quoted in the following in the following
Biblical verse:"And you shall
be to Me a kingdom of priest and a holy nation.' These are the
words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."(Exodus 19:6)
"For I am
the LORD your God. You shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and
you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves
with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth."(Leviticus 11:44)
"Preserve
my life, for I am holy; You are my God; save Your servant who
trusts in You!"(Psalm 86:2)
"So the holy
seed shall be its stump."(Isaiah 6:13)
18. Is the work
of God perfect or very far from perfect?Deuteronomy 32:4
Versus Job 15:14-16:"He is the
Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, A God
of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He."(Deuteronomy
32:4)The Bible shows that
God's work is very far from perfect:"What is man,
that he could be pure? And he who is born of a woman, that he
could be righteous? If God puts no trust in His saints, and the
heavens are not pure in His sight, how much less man, who is abominable
and filthy, who drinks iniquity like water!"(Job 15:14-16)
19. Does God forgives
sins or not?2 Chronicles 7:14;
Daniel 9:9; Mark 2:7 Versus Isaiah 1:15:"If My people
who are called by My name will humble themselves, and prayer and
seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."(2 Chronicles
7:14)"To the Lord
our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have revelled
against Him."(Daniel 9:9)
"Who can forgive
sins but God alone?"(Mark 2:7)
God is not forgiving
according to this Biblical narration:"When you
spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; even though
you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of
blood."(Isaiah 1:15)
20. Could anyone
tempt God or not?James 1:13 Versus
Exodus 17:2; Deuteronomy 6:16:"Let no one
say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God'; for God cannot
be tempted by evil, nor does He himself tempt anyone."(James 1:13)
The following Biblical
verses state that God could be tempted:"And Moses
said to them, 'Why you contend with me? Why you tempt the LORD?"
"You shall not tempt the LORD your God as you tempted Him
in Massah."(Deuteronomy
6:16)21. Is God just
or unfair?Ezekiel 18:29; Acts
3:14; Revelation 14:4 Versus Matthew 13:12:"Yet the house
of Israel says, 'The way of the Lord is not fair.' O house of
Israel, is it not My ways which fair, and your ways which are
not fair?"(Ezekiel 18:29)
"But you denied
the Holy one and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted
to you."(Acts 3:14)
Great and marvellous
are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints!"(Revelation
14:4)The Bible narrates
that God is not a just, to wit:"For whoever
has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but
whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from
him."(Matthew 13:12)
22. Is God merciful
that He is near to all who call upon Him or Hides Himself in times
of troubles?Deuteronomy 4:7;
Psalm 145:18 Versus Psalm 10:1; Psalm 22:1:"For what
great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the LORD
our GOD is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?"(Deuteronomy
4:7)"The LORD
is near to call who calls upon Him, to all who call upon Him in
truth."(Psalm 145:18)
The following Biblical
narration's show that God is not merciful to all who call upon Him:"My God, My
God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping
Me, and from the words of My groaning?"(Psalm 22:1,
also see Mark 15:34)"Why do You
stand afar off O LORD? Why do You hide yourself in times of trouble?"(Psalm 10:1)
23. Does God fulfil
the need of those who fear and love Him (including Jesus Christ)
or fulfil the sinner's head?Psalm 7:10-11; Psalm
145:19-20; Proverbs 10:3; 1 John 3:22; Versus Matthew 27:46; Romans
5:8:"My defence
is of God, who saves the upright in heart. God is a just judge,
and God is angry with the wicked every day."(Psalm 7:10-11)
"He will fulfil
the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry
and save them. The LORD preserves all who love Him but the wicked
He will destroy."(Psalm 145:19-20)
"The LORD
will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He will cast
away the desire of the wicked."(Proverbs 10:3)
"And whatever
we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments
and do those things that are pleasing in His sight."(1 John 3:22)
God does not fulfil
the need of those who fear and love Him (including Jesus Christ)
but fulfil the sinner's need:"And about
the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli,
Eli lama sabachthani?' That is, 'My God, My God, why have You
forsaken Me?"(Matthew 27:46)
"But God demonstrate
His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us."(Romans 5:8)
If the Bible is the
Book of God or that if God did inspire the authors of the Bible
how could He allow such misconception about Him? Is it not blasphemy
to belittle or say something contrary to the nature of God? All
the discrepancies in the different parts and verses of the Bible
that confuse all sensible readers clearly prove that, it is not
the Book of God. Allah, the One and Only God is, therefore, not
the Author of confusion - i.e. the Bible.GOD (ALLAH) -
THE AUTHOR OF THE QUR'ANFor the guidance
of those who truly seek the Truth and Divine Teachings, they should
read the Qur'an. Nowhere could anyone find any inconsistency in
the Qur'an for verily, the Qur'an is the Truth from Allah (Al-Sajdah
32:3). No man has ever revised it because, it bears no discrepancy
and no crookedness therein. In order words, it is consistent with
itself. This what Allah, its author, emphasizes in the following
verses:"Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it not
been from other than God, they would surely have found therein much
discrepancy."(Qur'an, Al-Nisa 4:82)
"Praise be to Allah, Who hath sent to His Servant the Book,
and hath allowed therein no Crookedness."(Qur'an, Al-Kahf 18:1)
"Allah hath (now) revealed the fairest of statements, a
Scripture consistent, (wherein promises of reward are) paired (with
threats of punishment), where at doth creep the flesh of those who
fear their Lord, so that their flesh and their hearts soften to
Allah's reminder. Such is Allah's guidance, wherewith He guideth
whom He will. And him who Allah sendeth astray, for him there is
no guide."(Qur'an, Al-Zumar 39:23)
The Qur'an, therefore,
speaks for itself. It bears no discrepancy nor crookedness. It is
consistent itself. Any reader can verify it and see for himself
the undisputed wisdom of the Qur'an. It is because no one can ever
challenge the Author of the Qur'an. He is Allah, the All-Knowing
(Al-Baqarah 2:115). He made His Book consistent and also
testifies it as such for guidance. This, we should believe, because
fourteen centuries ago since Allah revealed the Qur'an up to present,
nobody has ever written about the Qur'an's Da'wah Group.
