> Muslim Response Christans Inspired Gospel Authors or Fabricators?

[Assad]

:

It is common amongst the Christians when it comes to the authenticity of the bible , they make exaggerated claims that the god inspired to bible authors ( Mark , Matthew , Luke , John ).

In this article we will find out whether Bible is really an inspired book or just a man-made book with only little shreds of truth , in light of some typical Christian responses.

Lets look at the time period when these authors were "inspired".

• Mark: c. 68�"73,c 65-70
• Matthew: c. 70�"100.c 80-85 Some conservative scholars argue for a pre-70 date, particularly those that do not accept Mark as the first gospel written.
• Luke: c. 80�"100, with most arguing for somewhere around 85, c 80-85
• John: c 90-100, c. 90�"110, The majority view is that it was written in stages, so there was no one date of composition

So as we can see that the first gospel was written around 68 to 73 years later after Jesus death according to Christianity and John was written around 100 years later. Now this is very interesting.

God inspired these bible atleast 70 years later after Jesus death . So what about the period in between the death of Jesus and the time when the first Gospel i.e. Mark was written ? What were Christians on those time having instead of the bible? Were they using a different bible ? Were the reading the Gospel of Jesus which was the true gospel which Jesus preached during his ministry ?

Why did god wait for atleast 70 years before inpsiring the writers to write the first gospel ?

There can only mean onething - the bible is not inspired by god and is written by men at different time and different place . This is also the reason that bible have many contsradictions even to an extend that bible says that the world in which we live is only some 3000 years old.

This is in accorandance with the bible :

For God is not the author of confusion. Such confusion as more than one speaking at a time is not of God. - Corinthians 12:33

Indeed this testifies the challenge of The Lord of Universe - Allah in Noble Qur'an :

<<Haven't the unbelievers considered if this was from other than Allah, they would find within it many contradictions? >> - { Noble Qur'an }


This clearly proves the bible is a man made book and not any inspired book.

All Praise and Glory be to Allah!

It looks good and you have raised valid questions; however, it may not cover all of the issues. The main problem with the time skip is that there's no way to differentiate between the original Gospel and the Gospels which were written after 60 some years because historical majority agree that they were written by anonymous people. What if these authors were heretics? Blind faith in holy ghost doesn't prove anything. Unlike Uloom al-Qur'an (Science of Qur'an) and Uloom al-Ahadith (Science of hadith), the Christians have no scientifc method to check the authenticity of their Bible, not that i'm aware of any.

Yes , Exactly . There are more then 24000 gospels in the cannon but out out that only 73 or 63 are selected by the church and rest are hidden in Vatican vaults. What gives church the authority to do this? Thats another topic but our purpose was to debunk the myth of inspired writers of gospels.

And Allah knows best!
