Answer 2

The correct answer is the BIBLE, scriptures or writings in English. Christians believe that the bible is a collection of 66 books from Genisis to revelation. On Roman Catholics embrace the non-cannonical apocraphal books.

The Jewish writings were broken down into catagories such as law, prophets minor/major, history, poetry. This is God's revelation of the history of Israel from creation to the promise of a coming Savior, Jesus Christ. That is the Old Testament, a collection of 39 books. Christians believe that the OT is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of very God Himself. The Torah is a small part of that same total work of God, Genesis, Exodus, Lev., Numb., and Duet....The law! The OT claims over 2000 times that it is the Word of God. The New Testament makes those same claims, as doesChrist Himself.

The New Testament then picks up, after 400 years of silence, with the birth of John The Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ. The 27 books of the NT focus on the person and work of Christ through his disciples and other writers. The New Testament is about the birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ along with the establishement of the church.

Christians do not focus on what the bible is called but rather what it says and the message that it proclaims about the God of the universe and his son Jesus Christ. He and He alone is the only source of reconcilliation with God. Christians do not worship the bible but the God of it. So what it is, or was called is of little importance in light of its message of the only hope for the people of the earth. The bible is the only source of sacred or religious writings that have passed the test of accuracy and truth. The manuscript evidence, the archeological record, the prohetic record, and the science of statisical probability is all in the favor of the bible being The Word of God!

Answer 3

The quran has nothing to do with Christianity or Judiasm... the quran is a false book.....We call the bible the Bible because it is the collection of books that includes the Tanakh and the New Testament.....The Torah is the 1st five books of the Tanakh written by Moses called The Law. All the books are called the Word of God because it is inspired by God written through holy men with the Spirit of God in them. So we also call it the "The Word" or the "Word of God".
Muhammad never cared about the Torah or the gospels or any scripture because he was illiterate and he was a non-believer. He did not obey the commandments of God or believe the testimony of Jesus by eyewitnesses. He wrote about prophets but ignores what was written by them. So he is a deceiver. He began the false religion of Islam which is not peaceful.

Answer 4

According to Wiki:
The Injil (Arabic إنجيل , also transcribed Injeel) is one of the four Islamic Holy Books the Qur'an records as revealed by Allah - the others being the Zabur, Tawrat, and Qur'an. The word Injil is generally held by non-Muslim historians to be an abbreviation of the Greek word Ευαγγέλιον, sometimes rendered in English as evangel (and literally meaning "good news"). It is usually translated as Gospel, as in the four Gospels of the New Testament. The word Injil usually denotes the New Testament. Currently, Muslims believe the Gospel or the New Testament has been corrupted over time. However, according to some other views, the Injil is a lost book, different from the New Testament which was either written by the apostles or people connected to them.

MUSLIM SCHOLARS GENERALLY DISPUTE THAT INJIL REFERS TO EITHER THE ENTIRE NEW TESTAMENT OR THE FOUR GOSPELS (emphasis added). Others believe the Injil was not a physical book but simply a set of teachings. The word Injil is used in the Qur'an, the Hadith, and early Muslim documents to refer specifically to the revelations made by God to Isa, and is used by both Muslims and some Arabic-speaking Christians today.

Some Muslim scholars think that the Injil has undergone tahrif, that is the meaning or words were distorted, passages were suppressed, others added, etc. Many Muslims believe that humans have corrupted parts of the Injil, specifically references to where Jesus is called the Son of God by his followers and the events that occurred after Jesus' death. Muslims believe that instead of Jesus dying on the cross and then being resurrected (as the Bible says), he was never crucified and was risen into heaven.

That which we now call the New Testament was originally transmitted in several languages; manuscripts survive which are written in Hebrew and Aramaic, but most are in Greek. As a compilation of writings, therefore, it never had a name in its "original language," as the original languages varied, but as noted above, the Greek term would have been something akin to "Evangel," ie, "Good News." "Injil" is an Arabic rendering of the word. Each of the individual books of the New Testament (the four Gospels, the book of Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles (letters), and the Revelation of John) is named for its author, source, or subject. Because Christians believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of Jewish law and prophecy, the books that make up the Torah have been referred to as the "Old Testament" and the books that tell of Jesus Christ's life, ministry, death, resurrection, ascension, Church, and coming Kingdom have come to be referred to as the "New Testament." The Bible, as we know it today, is also sometimes referred to as the "Canon." This word means "rule" or "measure" and refers to writings which have been inspected and deemed to measure up to the standards of authentic, God-inspired scripture.

What matters much more than what it is called, is what it says. I encourage you to compare the actual New Testament with what you call the Injil.

Answer 5

The English word “Bible” comes through the Latin from the Greek word bi·bli′a, meaning “little books.” This, in turn, is derived from bi′blos, a word that describes the inner part of the papyrus plant out of which a primitive form of paper was made. The Phoenician city of Gebal, famous for its papyrus papermaking, was called by the Greeks “Byblos.” (See Jos 13:5, ftn.) In time bi·bli′a came to describe various writings, scrolls, books, and eventually the collection of little books that make up the Bible. Jerome called this collection Bibliotheca Divina, the Divine Library.
Jesus and writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures referred to the collection of sacred writings as “the Scriptures,” or “the holy Scriptures,” “the holy writings.” (Mt 21:42)
