I'll give you one.

It says that...

Jesus is not to be worshipped, that Jesus can cease to exist with essentially just a command of Allah's voice, that if you worship Jesus as God, you're committing a sin called shirk, which is the greatest of all sins.

Well, all these things are taught in the New Testament and denied.

So what does the Muslim dawah, dawah means someone who invites someone to Islam, what do they do?

They have to say, well, the Bible's been corrupted.

Right.

where's the charge of the bible being corrupted in the quran itself it is not there they try to look for it but it's essentially a later development in islamic polemics to say that the bible has been corrupted why because it was like oh this actually does not agree so my biggest issue is you co-op something to say you're the continuation of it deny the essence of it including the crucifixion of jesus christ which means you deny the resurrection the cardinal doctrine of christian faith

and yet say you're a continuation of it.

Wow.

So you're using its clout, its gravitas, and then tossing it aside.

To me, that's cheap.

That's a counterfeit.

I feel that.

When you hear people say the Bible's been altered or corrupted, whatever you want to word it with, like Billy Carson says it's been reworded.

What do you say to that?

If I'm having a technical conversation, Sean, with someone who understands textual criticism, we can actually talk about variations in manuscripts.

So there's a technical sense of which if you have 6,000 manuscripts across this earth in Greek, which we do, some are fragments, they're not all complete.

So 6,000 MSS, as it's abbreviated in literature, does not mean complete every time.

But there are complete ones as well, or nearly complete.
