The Quran denies the crucifixion of Jesus, so it cannot affirm the preservation of the Holy Bible.

Muslims argue that because the Quran denies the crucifixion of Jesus, it cannot simultaneously affirm the preservation of the Holy Bible. However, this reasoning is flawed. The Quran explicitly states that the Bible is the preserved Word of God, which creates a contradiction when it denies a key doctrine found within the Bible itself. This inconsistency suggests that the author of the Quran was either unaware of the implications of their statements or misinformed about the teachings of the Bible. To illustrate this point, consider the following syllogism: The Quran affirms that the Bible is the preserved Word of God; the Bible affirms Jesus' crucifixion; and yet, the Quran denies the crucifixion. Therefore, the Quran is in error as it attempts to uphold the authority of the Bible while denying one of its essential teachings. This contradiction serves as evidence that the Quran is not divinely inspired. Furthermore, if the Quran were truly the word of God, it would not contain such glaring errors regarding the teachings of the Bible. This leads to the conclusion that the Quran is the work of someone who, despite acknowledging the Bible's significance, failed to grasp its core doctrines. In this light, the Quran's message appears to undermine the very salvation it claims to promote, as it seeks to divert believers from the cross of Christ, which is central to Christian faith.
