Was the Bible Altered? 10 Pieces of Evidence You Must See

10 Evidences that the New Testament Bible was not altered

The Muslim cleric teach that the Jews and the Christians are the people of the Book and that the Bible is not teaching the same things as the Koran. The reason for the differences between the Bible and the Koran, according to the Islamic Scholars, is that the Bible was altered some time after Jesus (100s AD) and before the coming of Mohammed (600s AD). Thus, Muslims teach that the Christians and the Jews have lost their way and are corrupted. Thus I seek to provide the 10 evidences that prove the Islamic claims to the wrong.

The Following 5 books are Greek manuscripts of the New Testament found between the time of Jesus and Mohammed that documented the Bible. These show that the Muslim claims of the altered Bible is wrong and unfounded.

1. Codex Vaticanus (AD 325-350) - this is preserved in the Vatican library and contains almost the entire Bible
2. Codex Sinaiticus (AD 350) - This contains all of the New Testament and half of the Old Testament and is safely kept in the British Museum
3. Codes Alexandrinus (AD 400) - Also kept in the British Museum and contains the while Bible
4. Codes Ephraemi (400s AD) - kept in the National Library (Bibliotheque Nationale) in Paris. It contains all of the New Testament except 2nd Thessalonians and 2nd John.
5. Codes Bezae (AD 450) - This is kept in the Cambridge University Library and it preserves the gospels in both Greek and Latin

There are also been some findings that are even older and written at the time of Jesus's death. The most important discovery of New Testament manuscripts is called:

1. The Bodmer Papyrus 11 - dated to be between 150-200 AD and contains all of the New Testament books
2. The Chester Beatty Papyri (200 AD) - Kept in Dublin University but owned in part by Michigan University, these manuscripts contain large portions of the New Testament

These has also been findings of the New Testament that is not written in Greek. They are commonly written in either Syriac or Latin and these translations have been made roughly around 150 AD. There were also other manuscripts and translations written around the world by various monks, bishops and apostles in various other languages.

1. The Codex Corbiensis (400-500 AD) - contains all the four gospels still intact word for word
2. The Coptic and Egyptian scripts - these are believed to have been translation around 200 AD and contains the New Testament
3. The Palestinian Syriac - dated to be around 350 AD, it is recorded by a disciple of the Apostle John into Syriac for Phioloxenas the bishop of Mabug

And these are just the tip of the iceberg. These are numerous other codexes and manuscripts that clearly show the existence of the New Testament before Mohammed was even born. They all clearly reveal that the doctrines of our present Gospels have not been altered or changed and none of these gospels make any references (known or unknown) to Mohammed.

Thus the claim of Islamic Scholars and Clerics that the bible was altered or the Christians are corrupted are totally unfounded and archeologically ignorant. Nor is the claim that Mohammed was send to continue the work of Christ valid because none of these manuscripts or the original Gospels (and the present Bible) even mention Mohammed. Thus these teachings are yet another controversial and contradictory teaching found in the world of Islam.
