Note Paul’s testimony (Acts 24:16): “In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.” In view of what? In addition to these issues of truthfulness and honesty in the day to day choices and actions of our lives, the Bible sets a standard of integrity and sincerity for particularly spiritual and/or ministry oriented choices and actions. In addition to the Septuagint we also possess other translations of the Bible, such as the Latin Vulgate, which were done long before the time of Muhammad.

Some years ago a young Muslim woman asked me, "Has the Bible ever been changed?" Integrity is to do with trustworthiness. The narrative briefly records how the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus who had been caught in the act of adultery.

But some of you may be in such a place. The general practice is to avoid them, to ignore the key issues completely, and rely on irrelevancies instead. You can’t disregard the command to love others just because you can make a profit. The second lawyer’s check was for $15,000. The only difference between the texts of the Bible and the Qur'an as they exist today is not that one is free from variant readings and the other not, it is that those readings once found in the Qur'an were suppressed in the interests of standardising one harmonious text while those found in the Bible were preserved in the interests of maintaining the whole record.
What they really have to do is to prove that the Old and New Testament Scriptures have replaced the original Tawraat and Injil of which the Qur'an speaks. Elsewhere the Qur'an says "We sent down the Torah" (Surah 5.47) and, going on to speak of Jesus, it says "We sent him the Gospel" (Surah 5.49). that it is found in this narrative argues strongly for its inclusion in the Gospel If we are content with what we have, we will be less likely to take advantage of someone to make a profit than if we are greedy for gain. Four of the Ten Commandments (steal, murder, false testimony, covet) deal with integrity and honesty. 23:8; Ps.

He was concerned not only about what is honorable “in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men” (v. 21). 15:5; Dan. and (He) sent down the Torah and the Gospel" (Surah 3.3). Muslims thus base their attitudes on a presupposition and evidences are sought There were a lot of religious hucksters in Paul’s day (as in ours). If it’s okay to smuggle Bibles why isn’t it okay to bribe officials if it leads to the spread of the gospel? Over and above all, this site affirms that God, in a manner totally contrary to how we would think and act, has provided in and through Jesus Christ his eternal Son, a way of forgiveness in which we can live in his presence guilt free, acquitted and at peace. Noah, Lot, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah and the other prophets. its integrity and shall then press on to a brief study of the evidences that exist

Why then are these variants not found in the Qur'an text today?

Furthermore the Old Testament has been in the hands of both the Jews and the Christians throughout the world ever since the time of Christ.

1. The shortage of space here prevents us from refuting all the charges brought against the Bible in various Muslim publications, not on the grounds of its textual evidences but of its teachings, but in the next section I will mention a few to show how equally unconvincing they are.
