In their attempts to attack and undermine the Bible, Muslims sometimes make some strange claims. One of these claims is that the earliest surviving copies of the Old Testament are newer than the earliest surviving copies of the New Testament. This assertion is used to...
There is a common objection I have heard from Muslims that the Bible cannot be trusted because it does not preserve the words of Jesus in the language He actually spoke. Jesus spoke Aramaic, they point out, and the words of Jesus in the Gospels are written in Greek....
No, contrary to some Muslim's claims, Matthew 12:38-42 does not deny Jesus' crucifixion. Indeed, it is one of several times that Jesus powerfully foretold His coming death on the cross and resurrection three days later. One of Islam's most distinctive claims against...
Why does the Quran tell a story of Abraham smashing idols and being thrown into a fire? And why does this quranic narrative matter? Muslims believe that the Quran was dictated word-for-word to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel. It is written, they say, on eternal heavenly...
A common challenge offered by Muslims (and others who deny the deity of Christ) is that Jesus never claimed to be God. While there are numerous places that the Bible explicitly refers to Jesus as "God" and identifies Him as Yahweh, they accuse the biblical writers of...
One of the most unique assertions in Islam is the idea that Jesus did not actually suffer crucifixion. They insist that Jesus did not die on the cross, but instead, God only made it appear that he did, fooling those who aimed to kill Jesus. This claim comes straight...

Islam is is inherently a religion of violence. The Qur'an tells Muslims to kill and go to war to fight for Islam: Surah 2:191; 2:193; 3:118; 4:75-76; 5:33; 8:12; 8:65; 8:65; 9:5; 9:29; 9:73, 9:123; 33:60-62. Statistically, as their population increases in any country,...
Muslims often claim Isaiah 29:11-12 refers to the revelation of the Quran to the illiterate prophet Muhammad, who the Angel Gabriel commanded to read (or recite) and who responded that he could not. By the angel's compulsion and instruction he did finally recite and...
