The fact is that the writers have filled this book with all the trends of 1000 years during which time it was being compiled. Thus we find that to justify their own shortcomings they have put God and His prophets in such a bad light as leaves no room for any respect and dignity.

The God of Bible has human form, hair and legs, is jealous of Adam, does get tired and needs rest, walks like a man in garden of Eden, Adam hides from him and he calls out "Where art thou?" wrestles with Yaqub (a.s.) whole night without being able to knock him down; comes down on a mountain, enters into a cloud, and resides in Zion; repents after doing a work; tells lies while the serpent tells the truth. The QUR'AN pointedly ignores all such statements, which were p-agonistic in origin.

Now let us see the narrations about the prophets of God, chosen by Him to lead their people onto the right path. If we read the account of the people of Lot (a.s.) in the Qur'an we will find that it does not mention the conspiracy of the daughters of Lot (a.s.) to cohabit with their father, and the shameful details of alleged fulfillment of that capital sin. The Qur'an confirms the prophethood of Lot (a.s.) and destruction of his people: This is Confirmation.

But it rejects, by not mentioning or hinting even once, the interpolation of human mind it is the guardianship. Another example is the narration of the calf-worship of Israel. In short, the Qur'an confirms the basic truths and rejects the interpolations of the scribes. It is MUSADDIQ (confirmer), and it is MUHAIMIN (guardian) of the previous books, all at one and the same time. **3.The Injil WAS IT A BOOK?** The Qur'anic expressions denote that Injil was a book revealed to Prophet Issa (a.s.).

But the Christians say that Jesus Christ did not leave any book behind him. They say that Injil (i.e. 'Gospel') means just "the good tidings", brought by Jesus Christ. Thus they use the name 'Injil' (or Gospel) for the first four books of the New Testament which are supposedly written by Sts. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The scholars of higher criticism agree that Mark is the earliest of these 4 'Gospels'. It was written in or about 60-70 CE.

The 'gospel' of Matthew was written in or about 70-90 CE. The 'gospel' of Luke came later and that of John in or about 100 CE. Now the experts of higher criticism assert that a certain 'written document' was extant in the first half of the first century.
