Introduction: We must first of all know that the entire Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption! GOD Almighty Said: "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws, that they had turned the Bible into a lie!
See Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death.
The Book of Moses predicted that the Law (Bible) will get corrupted. The Book of Jeremiah which came approximately 826 years after did indeed confirm this corruption.
Bad things about Jesus in the New Testament! Also exposing the Old Testament:
First, let's start with the Old Testament:
There are several Verses in the Bible that seem to be very cruel. Let us look at few of them:
1 Samuel 15:2-4
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to
Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not;
but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and
ass.
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two
hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Let us look at Numbers 31:17 "Now kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
Also, let us look at Numbers 31:35-40 "[From the captives of war] 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.......of which the tribute for the LORD was 32 [virgin women]."
Why kill the innocent children? Why kill all of the non-virgin women? Back then, it was only men who fought men in wars. Women rarely fought in battle fields. So what crime did the innocent children and the non-virgin women do?
This verse was sent to me by Yusif 65; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him: "But after they had moved it, the LORD's hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Samuel 5:9)"
"tumors" was defined as "with tumors in the groin." This is verified at this link.
Why torture the enemies by destroying their groins?
In the New Testament:
Below are some verses from the Bible that prove Jesus was irrational and self-contradicting. As a Muslim, I believe that Jesus peace be upon him didn't contradict himself in anything, nor was he irrational. The Bible is full of man-made alterations and corruptions, and it can not be fully trusted.
Let us look at what the Bible says about Jesus:
In the NT, we read about Jesus commanding his followers to buy swords: "He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. (Luke 22:36)"
Ok, maybe Jesus ordered his followers to buy swords to keep them for self-defense situations only, which I am certain that this was the case. But buying the swords by itself is a very bad idea from the "Prince of Peace" as the Bible calls him. Imagine if every Christian in the world today owns a gun in his/her home. Imagine how dangerous the society will be. You can't expect every Christian to be as good as Jesus if you know what I mean! Owning guns would certainly make the job of the government's law enforcement a lot harder!
Jesus killing his enemies:
"He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.' After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. (From the NIV Bible, Luke 19:26-28)"
Luke 19:26-28 is an obvious contradiction to what Jesus taught from Love toward the enemies. According to Luke 19:11, Jesus was telling a parable or story. But even though he was telling a parable, it is clear that Jesus believed in it, since he preached it by his own mouth, and practiced it as shown below.
Jesus killed the woman's children:
"So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (From the NIV Bible, Revelation 2:22-23)"
All what the woman was doing is committing adultery, which is something very common among most Christians in the West today anyway with their "boyfriend-girlfriend living together" to "one night stand" to "having sex with his date or girlfriend", etc...
Of course Adultery is punishable in Islam. But I wonder why did Jesus kill the woman's innocent children? What did they do? All this to prove something to the Churches?! I thought you should love your enemies and forgive them? It's not like the woman had killed anybody!! Let alone her children didn't have any part of Jesus and their mother! There is no record in the Bible of these children committing any crimes or sins!
So everything in the Book of Revelation and in the rest of the Bible is doubtful and unreliable.
We also read about Jesus bringing corruption and destruction to earth rather than peace: "Do not suppose that I [Jesus] have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34)"
Jesus ordering the killing of apostates (those who desert him): "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away an withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (John 15:5-6)"
Even though this statement doesn't directly order for the killing of apostates, but it does encourage it, because the Bible does order the killing of apostates in both the Old and New Testaments.
Jesus hitting others with a whip, not that it makes him bad, but certainly takes his "perfection" away: "So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, 'Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!.' (John 2:15)"
Jesus not respecting the life of the innocent animals, which again takes away his "perfection" from him: "He [Jesus] said to them, 'Go!' so they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. (Matthew 8:32)"
Jesus was defeated by the woman's wisdom:
I'd like to start this section by presenting this Noble Verse from the Noble Quran:
"Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.
(The Noble Quran, 4:82)"Below we will see the overwhelming amount of corruption that exists in the New Testament.
Jesus was defeated by the woman's wisdom:
"A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, 'Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession. Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, 'Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.' He [Jesus] answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.' The woman came and knelt before him. 'Lord, help me!' she said. He [Jesus] replied 'It is not right to take the children's [Jews] bread [blessings and miracles reserved for them] and toss it to their dogs [the Gentiles].' 'Yes, Lord' she said, 'but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.' And her daughter was healed from that very hour. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 15:22-28)"
It's funny how Jesus supposedly in the book of man-made alterations and corruption, the New Testament, instantaneously ABROGATED his views and decision about the non-Jewish woman and people in general being equivalent to dogs when compared to the Jews. It is important to note that the woman, in this corrupted book, from the very start showed that she is a "believer" (what ever that meant back then). So it wasn't a matter of a "disbeliever" or pagan seeking Jesus' help.
The woman's wisdom defeated Jesus, the so-called "Creator of the Universe"! Jesus, within a second, changed his racist and trash-mouthed views against her from being a "dog" to a human being who deserves to be helped.
"I was sent ONLY to..." clearly and irrefutably means that Jesus initially claimed that he wasn't sent to none other than the Jews!
So what if the woman failed with Jesus??
It seems that Jesus in the corrupted book of the new testament changed his racist and filthy views only because the woman begged him. I wonder if the woman never did this and instead answered him inappropriately after he called her and all gentiles as "dogs", would the gentiles today still be considered as the Jews' dogs? Most probably yes. It doesn't take much for a racist to go back to his old habits and generalizing evil beliefs.
Again, don't forget that the woman initially showed that she was a believer! Jesus rejected her only because she was a Gentile!
The contradiction and man-made corruption in the text are clear!
The "Jesus" of the corrupted book of new testament is clearly not the Creator of the Universe as the lie of trinity claims. Allow me to quote Jesus himself, or what's put on his mouth, regarding those so-called masters:
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 23:37)"
No Prophets killers can ever be better than any human being that GOD Almighty Created! Those so-called masters can not be better than anyone or any race that exists on earth. In fact, the dung that I personally or anyone for this matter flush in the toilet is better than them and those worthless words that were uttered on the tongue of Jesus in the book of racism and lies, the New Testament. Let alone, them being the masters. So much for them being better than me, a non-Jew, and me being their "dog".
Because the bible is not Divine and is filled with man's lies, it is easy to find unanswerable contradictions in it. Jesus' views were clearly absurd and allow me to say, stupid. At one point, the Jews were the masters, and because he was satisfied with them, he ignored the fact that they were the Prophets' killers. But after they disappointed him, the balance changed and they became bad, and it was now ok to go and preach to the Gentiles (the non-Jews).
So in other words:
1- Have the Jews been ok with Jesus, the Gentiles would not have received any preaching.
2- The face of christianity today would be totally different. "Christianity" today would be limited to "only the lost sheep of Israel," i.e., the Jews.
3- Like I mentioned above, have the woman failed with Jesus, the Gentiles today would still be considered as the "Jews' dogs".
Of course me as a Muslim, I don't believe that the foul dirt that was put on Jesus' mouth or anything that exists in the NT is Divine. Again, as Allah Almighty Said:
"Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy. (The Noble Quran, 4:82)"
Only the verses in the Bible and Hadiths (collection of Prophet Muhammad's, peace be upon him, words) that directly agree with the Noble Quran are considered close to the Truth, but not quite the Truth. The Jesus of Islam is not the Jesus of the bible. The book of lies, the New Testament, is filled with man's alteration and corruption. I have provided ample quotes from bible theologians and a long list of contradictions that clearly and irrefutably prove this!

So now the question to you is:
Do you honestly call this absurdity about Jesus being a trash-mouthed racist and then changing instantaneously in the book of lies as Divine Revelations from GOD Almighty?
Where is the Divine Wisdom and Perfection in that?
I only see double-standard hypocrisy and CLEAR-CUT stupidity!
Let's just briefly compare the above lies with the Divine Justice and Revelations in the Noble Quran:
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted.
(The Noble Quran, 49:13)"

Equality and Liberation of Slaves in Islam VS racism in the bible.
"I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel":
Jesus also said: "These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: 'Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.' (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 10:5-6)"
These are the words of Jesus in the Bible. It is quite obvious that Jesus was NOT sent to Mankind and Christianity isn't a religion for Mankind. Even if Jesus did die on the cross for people's sins, he didn't do it for all nations' sins, but for the Jews alone who believed in him.
And when Jesus told his disciples to go "to all nations" and teach them the words and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit (Mathew 28:18-20), it is obvious that "all nations" is a mistranslation, because in the Middle East, the words for "People" and "Nation" are the same word.
Very Important Note: It is important to know also that nations as we know them today in countries were very few back 2000 years ago. People for the most part were divided into either "tribes" or "empires"; like the Persian and Roman Empires for instance, which both spread in land as far as what we call today North Africa, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India. Nations as we know them today existed in few places only. Arabs for instance weren't called "The Arab Nation", because they were divided into 365 pagan tribes, each tribe worshiping their idol god(s) which were different than the others.
So if Jesus told his disciples to go to "all people", then this simply means to all of the people of Israel, because he "was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel", and NOT to anyone else, because THERE WERE ALMOST NO NATIONS AROUND HIM AND VERY FEW NATIONS WORLD-WIDE! We are clearly left with a crystal clear contradiction between the Christian Missionaries of today and what Jesus said.
And as we clearly see from the introduction above, the Bible was very badly corrupted by the Jews. GOD said they corrupted the Bible so bad that they turned it into a "lie!".

Why did Allah Almighty allow for the Bible to get corrupted?
Muhammad on the other hand was sent to all of Mankind.
Jesus taught his followers to hate! "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters- yes, even his own life- he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)"
Jesus never used the word "family." He never married or fathered children. To his own mother, he said, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? (John 2:4)"
Jesus didn't come to free slaves nor came to stop the brutal slavery: "That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. (Luke 12:47-48)"
What Moral Advice Did Jesus Give? "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it. (Matthew 19:11-12)" Some believers, including church father Origin, took this verse literally and castrated themselves. Even metaphorically, this advice is in poor taste.
Also, for those priests and ministers who never marry and supposedly remain "virgins" for the rest of their lives, how can they be purified from sins, when all they do is masturbate 6,7 times everyday of their lives??? How can any Christian explain the child molestation and rapping that had been done by the priests and ministers of churches?
Jesus is totally irrational!!
If you do something wrong with your eye or hand, cut/pluck it off (Matthew 5:29-30, in
a sexual context).
Marrying a divorced woman is adultery. (Matthew 5:32)
Don't plan for the future. (Matthew 6:34)
Don't save money. (Matthew 6:19-20)
Don't become wealthy. (Mark 10:21-25)
Sell everything and give it to the poor. (Luke 12:33)
Don't work to obtain food. (John 6:27)
Don't have sexual urges. (Matthew 5:28)
Make people want to persecute you. (Matthew 5:11)
If someone steals from you, don't try to get it back. (Luke 6:30)
If someone hits you, invite them to do it again. (Matthew 5:39)
If you lose a lawsuit, give more than the judgment. (Matthew 5:40)
If someone forces you to walk a mile, walk two miles. (Matthew 5:41)
If anyone asks you for anything, give it to them without question. (Matthew 5:42)
The above statements are beautiful in terms of teaching good morals and ethics, but they are quite irrational and extreme. Jesus was totally unrealistic in most of his teachings. We can't use them in our daily lives. They're obviously useless!.
Was Jesus Reliable? Jesus told his disciples that they would not die before his second coming: "There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Matthew 16:28). "Behold, I come quickly." (Revelation 3:11) It's been 2,000 years, and believers are still waiting for his "quick" return.
Jesus said that whoever calls somebody a "fool" shall be in danger of hell fire (Matthew 5:22), yet he called people "fools" himself (Matthew 23:17).
We also read about children bashing in the Old Testament without any mercy as well: "O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us- he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. (Psalm 137:8-9)"
And also we read "Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives ravished. (Isaiah 13:16)"
Ask a Christian friend whether he or she should feel happy to dash a child against the
rocks. Your friend will most likely stare at you in horror, much less believe this idea
exists in their sacred Bible.
Many Churches have found these verses as quite embarrassing. It gives no wonder then why
priests, Jews, and Christians alike, have quoted from Psalm 137, but always leaving out
this last verse.
These verses are never taught in Sunday schools.
Let us look at the wonderful God of the religion of Islam Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran:
Let us look at Verse 2:163 "And your God Is One God: There is no god But He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful."
Also in 2:173 "He hath only forbidden you Dead meat, and blood, And the flesh of swine, And that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits then he is guiltless. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Also in 3:89 "Except for those that repent (Even) after that, And make amends; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful."
Also in 5:55 "(O Muslims) Your (real) friends are Allah, His Messenger, and the (Fellowship Of) Believers, those who establish regular prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship)." Here we see that Allah Almighty is not only the Muslims' God, but also their friend and companion.
In 2:192 "But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." Here we see even with enemies, Allah Almighty's heart is wide open for love, mercy and forgiveness.
In 2:199 "Then pass on at a quick pace from the place whence it is usual for the multitude so to do, and ask For Allah's forgiveness. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
In 3:155 "Those of you who turned back on the day the two hosts met, it was Satan who caused them to fail, because of some (evil) They had done. But Allah has blotted out (their fault): For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing." Here we see how merciful and forbearing Allah Almighty really is. He forgives those who allow themselves to be led by Satan, because his love and mercy to us is greater than this universe.
In 4:17 "Allah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom." Here again we see that Allah Almighty's heart is always open for people. His love is greater than anyone's.
In 4:19 "O ye believe! ye are forbidden to inherit Women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower ye have given them except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike A thing, and Allah brings about Through it a great deal of good." Here we see Allah Almighty's mercy is so great that he commands us to be fair, nice and kind to our wives and to treat them with respect, and to never dislike them because Allah Almighty places a great deal of good in women.
The above verses from the Holy Quran and thousands other more that are not mentioned here show clearly the Great Mercy, Love, Justice, and Forgiveness of our God Allah Almighty. Do you honestly think that if Jesus was the God of the Holy Quran, he would kill innocent children for no reason?
Conclusion:
Again, as I said in the very beginning, I don't believe that any of the stuff that I presented from my NIV Bible is really the true word of GOD!. As I said, I think that Prophet Jesus peace be upon him is innocent from what the Bible claims about him from nonsense and hateful teachings. I hope I was able to show you that the Bible is a book that has man made corruption in it. The reason why Christians and churches are so corrupt today is because the Bible used to be God's words, but today and after man's words entered it, it no longer remained a book of God. Unfortunately, the religion of Christianity today is a devil's religion and it is fake (filled with man's corruption and garbage), and I advise you to stay away from it and to study the religion of Islam.
