This is a convenient idea, but it is imaginary and doesn’t fit the historical and textual record, as we will see below:
All of us agree that God’s Word cannot be changed, for this is the clear testimony of both the Bible and the Qur’ān.…
Actually, the transmission of the Bible and the Qur’ān have rather similar histories, as we shall see. Neither simply dropped from the sky in book form as some people seem to believe, but both scriptures have a history progressing from an oral stage through now-lost original written documents, through fragmentary manuscript evidence, to existing complete written collections a hundred years after revelation ceased.…
The “abysmal failure theory” of Jesus likes to quote from European scholars of Higher Criticism to defend their low view of the Tawrat and Injīl. This school of materialist thought from last century assumed that the Bible must be inaccurate and mythological since it contains stories of miracles .…
The council of Nicea in 325 was held not to decide which books were scripture, but to confirm something that had been accepted by Christians everywhere for a long time already.…

While there are hundreds of early manuscripts of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, there are absolutely no manuscript copies of the Gospel of Barnabas until one thousand five hundred years after Jesus.…
There are a few “gospels” which were composed much later than Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and rejected by the early Christian community.…
More than any other ancient Latin or Greek literature, the Bible has tremendous historical and manuscript evidence for its reliability. It has far more manuscripts and far earlier manuscripts. The New Testament has well over 1,000 times as many manuscripts as the works of the average classical author.…

Zakir Naik has made the following bizarre allegation:
…The Qur’an is the only religious book, on the face of this earth, that contains the phrase ‘marry only one’. There is no other religious book that instructs men to have only one wife.
Dr Zakir Abdul Karim Naik is a televangelist in India who operates a satellite TV station called “PeaceTV” out of Mumbai, India spreading Wahabi propaganda.
