In other words, effectiveness of the Gospel's words is our greatest proof.

In other words, effectiveness of the Gospel's words is our greatest proof. Although this book did not come to us from heaven, the people who wrote it were guided by the Holy Ghost. MUSLIM: So you think that effectiveness of a word is the greatest proof of its truth and authenticity'. If we accept this argument, then you will have to admit the truth of so many wrong religions and ideologies which have en- chanted a vast multitude of people within a short period.

We know that Buddhism is one of the major religions of the world, which is being followed by such a large population since the sixth century B.C. The teachings of Buddha are accepted like divine revelation in East and South-east Asia. Still you say that that religion is baseless and cannot be accepted as a divine teaching.

If you truly believe that effectiveness of the word is the proof of its truth, then why are you not coming within the fold of Islam, which has attracted such a large number of people in every part of the world, and has more than 750 million followers? If this is your "greatest proof," then I wonder about the value of your other proofs. When the Muslim scholars want to prove the truth of Islam, they do not put forward its effectiveness as the proof; they bring other arguments.

For example, they say: One of the proofs of the truth of Islam is the miracle of the Qur'an. This book reveals so many secrets of the universe; teaches the most perfect code of life, in the most miraculous language. For the last fourteen centuries it is challenging the mankind to bring, if they can, even one chapter like it, but nobody has ever succeeded to meet this challenge. Dear friend!

I have requested you several times to describe to me the lives of the authors of the Gospels; unfortunately, I have not been favoured with a satisfactory reply yet. I repeat my request to explain to me, as you had promised earlier, clear proofs of their reliability. CHRISTIAN: We mentioned earlier that the best arguments is the "savings" which we have tasted. Now, if you have any argument against it, please send it to us. We are awaiting for it.

MUSLIM: I am mentioning here some facts about some of the disciples and companions of Christ - that is, Peter, Matthew, John and 15 Judah. We may know from this sample, the character of "their" disciples. Please refer to the following verses of the Gospel in this connection.
