Why do our responses have to be moderated? It looks like some people have something to hide…

Hmmm… if, according to Muslim tradition, Allah gave the Torah to Moses and Allah is all-powerful, then whatever changes that the Jews might have made to the Torah must have been made according the will of Allah. If the Jews had made changes to the Torah without those changes being sanctioned by Allah, well, then Allah isn’t all-powerful, is He?

It seems to me that if an author hands a book to a publisher and the publisher changes some of the words because the author commands the publisher to do so, what ends up in the hand of the reader is still the word and will of the author.

To posit that Allah gave his holiest teaching to a people who changed and twisted it against his will is to posit that Allah is not all-powerful. To believe what the Qur’an and the Hadiths say about the Torah is to deny that Allah is all-powerful. Therefore, to be a Muslim is to deny the omnipotence of Allah.

First, each culture has their own standard of beauty and it may be in total opposition to what you or I think; therefore, what is inconceivable to you or I is irrelevant. Secondly, read Genesis 20:12 – Sarah is indeed Abraham’s sister – Same father different mothers. So they did not lie. Third, Moses doesn’t even come on the scene until well after Abraham died; therefore, there was no Mosaic Law or Torah to break. Moses is born during the time the Israelites lived in Egypt, a time when famine forced them to go there. Abraham’s great grandson, Joseph had become a great ruler there and died before Moses was even born. Genesis 50: 26 – Exodus 2. Based on God’s Word, there is no contradiction.
