exist in its original form as a question
that I used to ask as a Christian
because I wanted to know for myself
where is the authentic text behind it uh
there are many different translations of
the Bible and have been for many years
one of the biggest Scholars of the
evangelicals or of the uh Christian
World he's a scholar of the New
Testament uh his name is FF Bruce he has
a book out and it's called the history
of the translations of the Holy Bible
into the English language and so it's
well worth the investment to read it and
see for yourself how many times it's
been translated to English by who and
from what and the from what is what I
was concerned about because when you say
the Bible we know the Bible says this we
know the Bible say how do you know that
because if you're going to rely on
English you have a serious problem to
begin with there was no English language
even a thousand years ago because
English came about after the Normans
invaded the Saxons that was in the year
uh
1066 ad prior to that you go back to the
time of Esau or Jesus peace be upon him
that's 2,000 years that's a thousand
years before English existed not any of
the words that we use today are really
from their language even when we say
Abraham his name was e ibim we say Moses
it was mus and these are Hebrew words
you can go to right now go to Israel and
meet some of the people there go to New
York you probably got more Jews in New
York you Israel any but anyway ask him
what your name he'll say Yousef my name
is Josef this is Hebrew and Musa this is
Hebrew ibraim and nobody would have said
the words that we used like job is a yes
so if you don't even know how to
pronounce somebody's name and Jesus
peace be upon him never called himself
Jesus the word didn't even exist so for
the born again Christian standing on the
street corner calling to Jesus and if
you don't pronounce the name of Jesus
you're going to go to hell well I guess
he'll have to go to hell too because he
never said it none of his followers ever
said it I mean stop it a lot it's too
much but I would uh remind those who
follow the Bible want to look to the
Bible that the what you're holding in
your hand is a
translation it's a translation of what
and if you said it's original
manuscripts that is not what any of the
real Scholars of the Bible say not one
but I want to stop before we go any
further and I want to caution you about
something cuz you know what I care about
you you don't know
me and you think I don't know you but
you're a human being otherwise you
couldn't watch this thing you wouldn't
understand what's going on so as a human
you're my brother you're my sister in
humanity and for that I have to care
about you this is what Islam teaches us
and I want only the the best for you and
I'm telling you just open your heart
first before you go out trying to make
conclusions give Islam a chance be
honest and wipe out your prejudices
prejudices is one of the worst
despicable things that ever existed
amongst humans and it comes straight
from the Devil Himself so if you find
Prejudice in your heart get rid of that
first before you start talking about
Quran Bible or anything else get rid of
that first because in fact a lot of
people have looked to the Bible for
answers then got really immersed in it
but then when they started to find out
about some of the truths that we're
going to share with you
today not only they left Christianity
they became atheists and I don't want
that for you I would rather you stay
with your Bible than become an
atheist I'm I'm serious about this when
I tell you this because at least as a
Bible reading
God-fearing Christian you got some kind
of chance but as a atheist nothing so
this is why I'm telling you this because
one of the biggest Scholars that's on
the tour in the of the circuit what they
call it for books and so on today is
Bart Erin and Bart eron has written
three major works that are produced and
and
promoted published by the people who
could care less about anything except
money
and he became an atheist but he used to
be one who was insisting the Bible was
the literal word of God as
is and now he says clearly he's a
scholar of the Bible one of the biggest
Scholars of the Bible in the United
States but he says this in all of his
books we do not have a copy watch my
hand we don't have a copy of a copy of a
copy of a copy of a copy of anything
original from any manuscript
now that's a heavy statement against
against Believers because that means
well what are you believing in them what
are you saying his book lost
christianities lost scriptures and his
final one misquoting Jesus are very
clear and attacking the very root of the
Bible from a scholarly point of view and
this is what I want to caution you as a
Muslim not to do and you as a Christian
not to get caught up in don't do that
because as Muslims we know that you can
still find the Bible in original format
original language today it's in the
parts of the Quran where Allah quotes
himself Allah is the same God for the
Christians as he is for the Jews as he
is for the Muslims if you get a Bible
that's written in the Arabic language on
page one Genesis you'll find find 17
times Al the word Allah in Arabic is
there and if you go to the any hotel or
motel on this planet and go to the you
know the little uh cabinet beside the
bed and you pull the drawer open what's
in there a Bible yes or no it's put
there by the Gideon Society take it out
open it turn about six seven pages and
look right there what does it say they
said that they are translating the Bible
in these 27 languages and Africans
language is number one by the way cuz
alphabetical order and after afan's
language you'll see Arabic and if you
don't know how to read Arabic I will
help you because it's quoting all of the
samples in those 27 languages are all
from The Book of John the Gospel of John
3:1 16 John 3:16 for God so loved the
world and here it says in Arabic for
Allah so loved the world so we see from
the Jewish in page one Genesis that's
Old Testament and we see from John 3 16
the sample here and we see from speakers
of Arabic language the word Allah is God
long before there was a word god
