This was one of the earlier booklets written by Ahmed Deedat and one that is likely to become a priceless heirloom in your home. Mr Deedat says, "It was in 1939 when I was working as a shop assistant at Adams Mission near a Christian seminary by that name; producing preachers and priests that I and my fellow Muslim workers were the target of young aspiring men of the cloth. Not a day passed when these young Christians did not harass me or my brothers in faith, through insults which they piled on Islam, the Holy prophet and the Qur'an". It was during this period by chance that Ahmed Deedat picked up the book "Izharul Haq" which was the turning point in his life and subsequently this led him to stop the trainee missionaries DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS. In this particular booklet, Mr Deedat discusses the authenticity of a book which is believed to be inspired by 1.5 billion souls.He discusses the variants existing in the different versions of the Bible and proves that the usual charge of forgery attested to the Qur'an is essentially disingenuous in view of the fact that the yardstick under which Christians test the Qur'an can easily be used against the Bible with more devastating effects. Ahmed Deedat goes on to prove that the most popular King James Version used throughout the Christian world today is defective and fraudulent on the authority of 32 scholars of the highest eminence backed by 50 co-operating denominations who say in the preface of the revised version that the King James version has GRAVE DEFECTS. Verses which have in the past been the king-pin of Christian preaching such as the Trinity (1John 5:7), The Ascension (Mark 16:9-20 & Luke 24:51), The Prophecy of Jesus found in(Isaiah 7:14) and the incident of the women caught in the act of adultery (John 8:1-11), have now been discovered to be fabricated and unauthentic, therefore one finds that in the Revised Standard Version '52 they have been thrown out as "interpolations" and "pious frauds" by these modern Christian scholars.Plagiarism found in Isaiah 37 & 2 Kings 19 is exposed, where we find extracts attributed to authors living 1000 of years apart to be identical to the letter. The obvious indictment would be on God that he had absentmindedly dictated the same tale twice. Contradictions such as numerical variants in 2 Samuel 10:18 and 1 Chronicles 19:18, Dichotomy as in 2 Samuel 24:1 and 1 Chronicles 21:1 and downright foolishness as in 2 Chronicles 36:9 and 2 Kings 24:8 are expressly discussed. Furthermore, the immoral aspects of the Christian scud where descriptions of the genital organs occur in Ezekiel 23:19-20 as well as the unlawful relationships described in Genesis 19:30 and Genesis 38 is questioned as to how they could be found placed in a book whose "HOLINESS" is attributed to God.http://www.ahmed-deedat.co.za/frameset.asp
Dawah: Biblical errors:
Alhamdulilah I have been able to study religions in the University setting, which gave me a secular presentation of all the religions. From those studies, one of the most interesting bits of information I researched was the errors found within the Bible. This is interesting because the Christian typically says that the Bible is the word of God, so these errors pose a great theological problem. Most of us know this fact, but what I would like to do with this post insha’Allah is give you the evidence and the information needed when discussing this topic. I feel it is important because online there are lists of “contradictions” in the Bible, however many of these can easily be explained away. So, I have selected those errors which the Christian scholars themselves say: Yes, this is an error. Knowing which points to make and how to make them will insha’Allah make our dawah more effective. Bismillah:
1) The age of Ahaziah when he began to rule (second Kings 8:26 – says 22, or 42 in second chronicles 22:2)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
2) Solomon had how many supervisors? 3300 (1Kings 5:16) or 3600 (2Chonicles 2:2). Christian scholars say: copyist error.
3) Was the daughter of Jairus dead (Matthew 9:18) or alive (Mark 5:23) when she came to Jesus? Christian Scholars say: We don’t know.
4) God tells David the famine will be 3 years (1Chonricles 21:11-12) or 7 years (2Samuel 24:13)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
5) Who killed Goliath? David (1Samuel 17:50) or Elhanan (2Samuel 21:19)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
6) Charioteers killed by David. 700 (2Samuel 10:18) or 7000 (1Chronicles 19:18)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
7) David captured 1700 (2Samuel 8:4) or 7000 (1Chonricles 18:4) horsemen? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
8) 2000 baths (1Kings 7:26) or 3000 (2Chronicles 4:5)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
9) Michal had five sons (2Samuel 21:8) or none (2Samuel 6:23)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
10) Jehoiachin is 8 (2Chronicles 36:9) or 18 (2Kings 24:8) when he becomes King? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
11) Stalls of Solomon, 4000 (2Chonicles 9:25) or 40,000 (1Kings 4:26)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
12) Jehoiachin rules Jerusalem for 3 months (2Kings 24:8) or 3 months and ten days (2Chronicles 36:9)? Christian scholars say: copyist error.
