First of all, let me
begin by saying that
I am a former
Christian, preacher,
minister of music
and organist for a
long number of years
in the Disciples of
Christ Church,
Baptist, Methodist
churches and The
Church of God. I
totally and
completely accepted
the teachings and
concepts of
salvation within the
Christian church
many years ago. My
parents were very
religious and their
parents were also
very instrumental in
building and
supporting the work
of the church
throughout their
entire lives. So, it
is not my aim to
discredit the
efforts of those who
came before me
whatsoever. This is
totally the opposite
of my purpose in
this presentation.
Second, I am still
most active in the
spreading of the
True Word of God as
much as HE will
allow me to be. I
have found that some
of the teachings of
the translations of
the Bible contain
errors and mistakes
which must be
examined and thought
through so as to
bring about a better
understanding for
both the Christians
and the non-
Christians,
especially those of
the Muslim (Islam)
faith.
Third, I am
presently an
institutional
chaplain and I hold
the position of
Delegate to the
United Nations Peace
Conference for the
World's Religious
Leaders. As such I
hold all the leaders
of other religions
in proper regard and
with due respect.
Many of my
associates and co-
workers are from the
Catholic,
Protestant, Jewish
and Hindu faiths.
Therefore, it is not
my intention to
cause people to
loose their belief
in God, His
divinely-inspired
prophets and
messengers, or the
holy scriptures that
they brought. I
humbly request all
who read and study
these pages to be
considerate of those
who are committed to
believe in the
scriptures of the
Bible and not use
this material as a
tool for attacking
and harming the
faiths of others.
The opposite is what
I request the reader
to do. Please take
time to learn the
materials and then
share in a positive
light with those
whom you honestly
feel can handle a
discussion on this
topic without being
confrontational.
May Almighty God
guide all of us to
the truth, amen.
An examination of
the Bible is
necessary today
because of the many
questions being
raised by religious
people of all
circles, including
Jews and Christians,
as to its
inconsistency with
contemporary church
teachings as well as
its inconsistency
within itself.
Today, there are
thousands of
different versions
of the Bible in
circulation and the
transcript has been
freely translated
from one language to
another numerous
times. According to
Bible scholars
themselves, the
original scripture
is no longer extant.
It is nowhere to be
found. We have no
idea if what we are
reading and
implementing into
our lives and belief
system is, indeed,
God's teaching.
Muslims believe in
the same Omnipotent,
All-powerful, Unseen
God that the Jews
have believed in
since Adam. However,
unlike the Jews,
Muslims join in with
the Christians by
also believing in
Jesus as the
"Christ"; "Messiah";
"Logos"; and
"Miraculous
Conception"; as well
as all the previous
Biblical prophets
and their original
scriptures that they
brought. Muslims
also believe that
God is merciful and
just to His
creatures. So, they
deny the concept of
the 'Original
Sin' [all children
are born into the
sins of their
parents] and the
'Sacrificial Lamb'
concept which
requires the blood
of Jesus, peace be
upon him, to atone
for the sins of the
sinners. This being
the case, how can
Muslims say that God
is just and that His
revelation, the
Bible, is corrupted?
Where is it in God's
great plan that His
revelation loses all
credibility? These
are all very
excellent questions.
It is a known fact
that Jesus was
regarded by his
followers as a
prophet and that
what he preached was
written down into
physical form by his
disciples. However,
God placed the
responsibility on
humans to preserve
the integrity of
this message over
time. When the
people failed in
their duty, it was
made necessary for
the Holy Quran to
come into existence
in order to correct
the teachings that
were changed. By
God's mercy He
revealed His will
once again to
Muhammad over 600
years later, and his
companions similarly
wrote it down and
compiled it into
what became known as
The Holy Quran. By
God's justice He
promised that He
would preserve it
