Why do Muslims twist the Bible for their own convenience?

Question

Allot of Muslims leave out entire parts of the Bible when disputing it. They even ignore all the parts that clearly say Jesus Christ is the creator of the Universe and has been here the whole time.

They also leave out the part of Acts that clear states that the Holy Spirit is part of God. Muslims instead keep saying the Holy Spirit is the Arch-angel Gabriel.

I could keep going but I want you to add your own words.

Please be respectful.

Answer 1

Because it is not their holy book and therefore they feel it is open to change in order to fit their Qu'ran.

Answer 2

Almost everyone (Christians included) twist the Bible, the Koran, the Torah and all other religious texts to suit their own viewpoint. It is not the sole problem of the Muslims.
Many evangelical Christians will quote from the Koran all of the passages about killing the infidels and thus reach the conclusion that all Muslims feel all non-Muslims must die, which is hardly the case. At the same time, they will ignore Biblical passages such as Deuteronomy 13:6-10 which tells Christians to kill all non-Christians because to quote that would defeat their point.
Only when all religions stop thinking books written by man are completely infallible and allow the overall message to get throught will we put a stop to all of this bickering and "I'm right, you're wrong" mentality that is tearing this world apart. Unfortunately, that will never happen. Too many people are too wrapped up in their version of "right" that they fail to see that when it comes to religion, there can be more than one right answer.

Answer 3

The mormons do it, the catholics do it, the JWs do it, the atheists do it, and most Christians do it when they want to do something they know is not what they should. What else is new?....deceptions to fool the gulable.
As there is nothing in The Bible of The True Christian Faith for a non-beleiver, and what is in there can only be found by the Leading of The Holy Spirit, The Bible will always be mis understood and mis used by those who reject The Truth.

Answer 4

Why would Muslims adhere to a part of the mistranslated Bible and call it the exact word of God? That's almost as ridiculous as..well...Christians doing it. The creation, Jesus, in no way is superior to the Creator, God. So therefore you try to pretend like the created, created the Creator. This is just dissecting 2/3rds of the imaginary Trinity. Once you start discussing the Holy Spirit/Ghost, it will get more ridiculous.

Why did Jesus, while supposedly on the cross, yell out, "My Lord, my Lord, why hath Thou foresaken me?" Jesus, after being whipped, beaten, and abused, not complaining once, starts in on complaining about God (himself since "Jesus is part of God"), and asking why God (himself) wasn't protecting him anymore. But before doing this, he asks himself (My Lord, my Lord) why this is all happening. Seems like if Jesus created the universe, he should've been able to see that one coming, and in which sense, your Jesus and your God would be sadomasachists.

Answer 5

Because that is what religions do, they preach only the parts that benefit their beliefs. Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu.. it doesn't matter they all do the same thing.
you must have forgotten that there are approximately 60 different gospels in circulation throughout the world, how come the Christian bible only has 4? Because they are the 4 that best represent what the leaders of the church believe, so they kept those 4 and just labeled the others as incorrect.

Answer 6

Well, one of the beliefs of a Muslim is to believe in all books of Allaah. This includes the Bible as well. However, the Bible has been altered from its original time it was revealed. This was done for many reasons, to fit the churches desires and to go with the times. Because it has been altered and there are sooooooo many different versions, how can one expect to believe something with so many versions and alterations? To answer your question specifically, were these passages that you are refering to part of the original Bible or did they work their way into the Bible over the years? You tell me.

Answer 7

The same reason many "Christians" twist the bible to their own convenience...it is an attempt to create a god in their own image, according to the dictates of the human heart, which the bible makes clear is evil and deceptive no matter what religion a person claims to be.

Answer 8

I want you to sit down. Muslims are not the only ones who twist the Bible for their own convenience. I would say 99% or more of religions do just that. "Christian" religions add to or take away from the Bible as they believe. That is clearly a twist. In Revelation it says we are not to add to or take away one bit from the written word. Many do. ie Many religions in the world say it is wrong to drink wine. Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding. Not only wine, they said it was the finest of wines. The only way to make it is to read your Bible often and pray. God will guide you. God Bless

Answer 9

Because Muslims have different beliefs and, to them (and many others), the Bible is not the "Word of God" as it is for many Christians. Look at it the same as the way our media and culture misinterprets the Islamic Koran. And lets not even talk about Hindus, Taosist, Buddists, etc. who have no interest in the Bible whatsoever.

Answer 10

Christians have a nerve to ask this question? King James of England twisted the Bible to his interpretation in the 16th century - thus the King James Version of the Holy Bible (look on the front of yours today).

Answer 11

With all due respect - everybody leaves out parts of the bible for their own convenience. Go read the 20 or so statements that fully support slavery that are in the bible for an example.
