Bible Corruption
The Bible has been corrupted and is not completely reliable because it was written by fallible human beings.
Quick answer
The claim that the Bible has been corrupted contradicts the Quran's assertions about the incorruptibility of Allah's words. If the Bible can be corrupted, it raises questions about Allah's sovereignty and power over His own revelations.
Full argument
Muslims often cite Quran 2:75-79 to argue that the Bible is unreliable due to alleged corruption by humans. However, this interpretation does not hold when considering other Quranic verses that affirm the incorruptibility of Allah's words, such as Quran 6:114-115 and 18:27, which explicitly state that no one can change His words. If the Bible can be corrupted, it implies that Allah either lacks the power to preserve His revelations or has deceived humanity about their integrity. This contradiction undermines the very nature of Allah as an all-powerful and truthful deity. Therefore, the assertion of Biblical corruption not only fails to stand on its own but also creates inconsistencies within the Islamic understanding of divine revelation.
