As mentioned above...

As mentioned above, these verses of the Qur'an show that Gospel was a Book revealed to Jesus Christ. Now where is that Book? Obviously the manipulating hands did 'not keep it intact. What is now presented to us as `Gospel' is not the Gospel revealed to Jesus. Even you say that these books were written not by Jesus, but by his disciples.

Moreover, the New Testament describes the birth, arrest and "death" of Christ; it also contains the letters, most of which were written by Paul to various addresses. (But not a single line is from the writing of Jesus.) The New Testament is nothing more than a book of biography (or history), containing the news of various events, beginning with words like `it came to pass,' `Jesus said' or `did' this or that. It is not related in any way with the `book' which was revealed by God to Jesus.

It is but a book of history written by the followers of Christ in the first century of Christian era. Also, the Qur'an with its brilliant and irrefutable logic criticizes the beliefs of the Jews and Christians, concerning, among other things, the Christians' belief of divinity of Jesus Christ and his being son of God. For example, see the following verses:- "Verily, they do blaspheme who say: `God is Christ the son of Mary.' But said Christ: `O Children of Israel'.

Worship God, My Lord and your Lord.' . . . They do blaspheme who say `God is one of three' For there is no God except one God. . . . And Christ son of Mary was no more,than an apostle; many were the apostles that passed away before him . . . " (Qur an, 5: 72, 73, 75). "And behold, God will say: `O Jesus son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, `Worship me and my mother as gods instead of God?' He will say: `Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say) ...

Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say that, `Worship . God, My Lord and Your Lord . ... " (Quran, 5:116-117). "Verily, the similitude of Jesus before God is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him `Be' and he was." (Qur'an,. 3:59). How could the Qur'an, which contains such refutations of the beliefs of Christianity, tell the Muslims to respect the present Torah and Gospel?

In view of the above, your objection, that why Muhammad (p.b.u.h.a.h.p.) did not tell'us to remain aloof from Gospel and Christianity, is off the mark.
