Christian missionaries have been working in the Muslim world for years, deceiving and coercing Muslims away from Islam to Christianity. We need to understand a little of the Bible to defend ourselves from these missionaries and Jehovah witnesses who come knocking on our doors. We can also use these verses to show Christians what is contained in their holy book.
We as Muslims believe that the original Bible revealed to Prophet Isa(Jesus) (Peace Be upon Him) was corrupted over the years and is not the Bible that the Christians have today.
1️⃣God orders the killing of men, women, children, babies and even animals
…2 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I witnessed what the Amalekites did to the Israelites when they ambushed them on their way up from Egypt.
3 Now go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
(1 Samuel 15)
2️⃣ Cutting the hand of a women helping her Husband?
11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts,
12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.
(Deuteronomy 25 )
3️⃣ Beating a slave with a rod (Exodus 21)
20 When someone strikes his male or female slave with a rod so that the slave dies under his hand, the act shall certainly be avenged.
21 If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.
(Exodus 21)
So if the slave dies immediately, the the death will be avenged, but if the slave dies after a day or two, the death will not be avenged???
4️⃣ Pornography in the bible (Ezekiel 23 )
The passage is too lewd to reproduce here. You can read it for yourself
5️⃣Is Melchizedek also a God ?
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “king of peace,”
3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the [a]spoils.
(Hebrews 7 )
6️⃣A Prophet of God getting drunk and commiting incest
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains—for he was afraid to stay in Zoar—where they lived in a cave.
31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to sleep with us, as is the custom over all the earth.
32 Come, let us get our father drunk with wine so we can sleep with him and preserve his line.”
33 So that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the firstborn went in and slept with her father; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Look, I slept with my father last night. Let us get him drunk with wine again tonight so you can go in and sleep with him and we can preserve our father’s line.”
35 So again that night they got their father drunk with wine, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him; he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
37 The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab.b He is the father of the Moabites of today.
38 The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi.c He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
(Genesis 19)
7️⃣ More killing of children, rape ordered by God. No pity for babies (Isaiah 13)
11 “I, the LORD, will punish the world for its evil
and the wicked for their sin.
I will crush the arrogance of the proud and humble the pride of the mighty.
12 I will make people scarcer than gold—
more rare than the fine gold of Ophir.
13 For I will shake the heavens.
The earth will move from its place when the LORD of Heaven’s Armies displays his wrath in the day of his fierce anger.”
14 Everyone in Babylon will run about like a hunted gazelle, like sheep without a shepherd.
They will try to find their own people and flee to their own land.
15 Anyone who is captured will be cut down— run through with a sword.
16 Their little children will be dashed to death before their eyes.
Their homes will be sacked, and their wives will be raped.
17 “Look, I will stir up the Medes against Babylon.
They cannot be tempted by silver or bribed with gold.
18 The attacking armies will shoot down the young men with arrows.
They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for children.”
(Isaiah 13 )
8️⃣God approves the sacrifice of burning a child alive
Jephthah’s Vow
29 At that time the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he went throughout the land of Gilead and Manasseh, including Mizpah in Gilead, and from there he led an army against the Ammonites.
30 And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD. He said, “If you give me victory over the Ammonites,
31 I will give to the LORD whatever comes out of my house to meet me when I return in triumph. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”
32 So Jephthah led his army against the Ammonites, and the LORD gave him victory.
33 He crushed the Ammonites, devastating about twenty towns from Aroer to an area near Minnith and as far away as Abel-keramim. In this way Israel defeated the Ammonites.
34 When Jephthah returned home to Mizpah, his daughter came out to meet him, playing on a tambourine and dancing for joy. She was his one and only child; he had no other sons or daughters.
35When he saw her, he tore his clothes in anguish. “Oh, my daughter!” he cried out. “You have completely destroyed me! You’ve brought disaster on me! For I have made a vow to the LORD, and I cannot take it back.”
36 And she said, “Father, if you have made a vow to the LORD, you must do to me what you have vowed, for the LORD has given you a great victory over your enemies, the Ammonites.
37 But first let me do this one thing: Let me go up and roam in the hills and weep with my friends for two months, because I will die a virgin.”
38 “You may go,” Jephthah said. And he sent her away for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never have children.
39 When she returned home, her father kept the vow he had made, and she died a virgin.
(Judges 11 )
9️⃣ Dashing children against rocks as retribution .
An Experience of the Captivity.
1 By the rivers of Babylon,
There we [captives] sat down and wept,
When we remembered Zion [the city God imprinted on our hearts].
2 On the willow trees in the midst of Babylon
We hung our harps.
3 For there they who took us captive demanded of us a song with words,
And our tormentors [who made a mockery of us demanded] amusement, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.”
4 How can we sing the LORD’S song
In a strange and foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill with the harp].
6 Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not prefer Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom,
The day of [the fall of] Jerusalem,
Who said “Down, down [with her] To her very foundation.”
8 O daughter of Babylon, you devastator,
How blessed will be the one
Who repays you [with destruction] as you have repaid us.
9 How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock.
(Psalms 137)
🔟 God orders all the people killed except the virgins
14 But Moses was furious with all the generals and captains[a] who had returned from the battle.
15 “Why have you let all the women live?” he demanded.
16 “These are the very ones who followed Balaam’s advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the Lord at Mount Peor. They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the Lord’s people.
17 So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man.
18 Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.
19 And all of you who have killed anyone or touched a dead body must stay outside the camp for seven days. You must purify yourselves and your captives on the third and seventh days.
20 Purify all your clothing, too, and everything made of leather, goat hair, or wood.”
21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men who were in the battle, “The Lord has given Moses this legal requirement:
22 Anything made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, or lead—
23 that is, all metals that do not burn—must be passed through fire in order to be made ceremonially pure. These metal objects must then be further purified with the water of purification. But everything that burns must be purified by the water alone.
24 On the seventh day you must wash your clothes and be purified. Then you may return to the camp.”
Division of the Plunder
25 And the Lord said to Moses,
26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family leaders of each tribe are to make a list of all the plunder taken in the battle, including the people and animals.
27 Then divide the plunder into two parts, and give half to the men who fought the battle and half to the rest of the people.
28 From the army’s portion, first give the Lord his share of the plunder—one of every 500 of the prisoners and of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats.
29 Give this share of the army’s half to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord.
30 From the half that belongs to the people of Israel, take one of every fifty of the prisoners and of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and other animals. Give this share to the Levites, who are in charge of maintaining the Lord’s Tabernacle.”
31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32 The plunder remaining from everything the fighting men had taken totaled 675,000 sheep and goats, 33 72,000 cattle, 34 61,000 donkeys, 35 and 32,000 virgin girls.
36 Half of the plunder was given to the fighting men. It totaled 337,500 sheep and goats,
37 of which 675 were the Lord’s share;
38 36,000 cattle, of which 72 were the Lord’s share;
39 30,500 donkeys, of which 61 were the Lord’s share;
40 and 16,000 virgin girls, of whom 32 were the Lord’s share.
41 Moses gave all the Lord’s share to Eleazar the priest, just as the Lord had directed him.
(Numbers 31)
