DEBATE: Can Muslims Meet THIS Challenge?

Opening proof text for the panel’s claim that the Qur’an affirms the Torah and Gospel as prior revelation and guidance, with no statement here that those scriptures were corrupted.

Cited against the claim that the Injil was only a hypothetical source like 'Q'; the speaker argued this verse treats the Injil as a written text.

Raised by a Muslim caller as proof that prior scripture was rewritten; the hosts disputed that reading and argued it does not say the Torah/Gospel text itself was corrupted.

Quoted to argue that Qur'an 2:79 refers to some Jews writing a separate book and selling it, not to textual corruption of the Torah itself.

Quoted to support the same rebuttal on Qur'an 2:79: a man-made book was being sold, not the Torah being textually altered.

Repeatedly used to argue that the Qur’an condemns believing only part of a revealed book, so Muslims cannot say only some of the Bible is valid while the rest is corrupt.

Used as an example of the Qur’an contradicting the Bible on Jesus’ crucifixion, sharpening the larger 'Islamic dilemma' argument.

Used as another example of Qur’anic conflict with biblical teaching, here on divine sonship / fatherhood language.

Cited for the stoning/adultery case to argue that Jews in Muhammad’s time still had the Torah containing Allah’s judgment, so the Torah was still present and authoritative then.

Used to argue that Jesus himself confirmed the Torah, so the Torah in Jesus’ time was valid and knowable.

Cited as a command that Christians must judge by the Gospel they have, which the panel used against the corruption claim.

Used in the debate over the word 'muhaymin'; the hosts argued this verse makes the Qur’an a guardian that sends Jews and Christians back to their own scriptures, not away from t...

Quoted to argue that people altered meanings, but 'none amongst Allah’s creation can remove the words of Allah from His books.'

Quoted for the explicit line that 'the Torah and the Injil remain as Allah revealed them and no letter in them was removed,' to deny textual corruption.

Used to argue that Jews and Christians 'have no ground to stand upon' unless they uphold the Torah, Gospel, and what was revealed to them, implying those scriptures still stand.

Used to argue that no one can alter Allah’s words, and therefore His prior books cannot be textually corrupted.

Paired with Qur'an 6:115 for the same claim: Allah’s words cannot be changed, so the previous scriptures cannot have been textually altered.

Used in a side argument about the Qur’an’s own standard for contradiction: if a book were not from God, many contradictions would be found in it.

Quoted pastorally ('Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts') to urge immediate response to God rather than delaying with endless study plans.

Used to argue that the Qur’an describes distortion 'with their tongues' / false attribution to God, not textual corruption of the written book.

Cited to argue the previous scripture was being read in Muhammad’s time, not lost in some inaccessible past.

Referenced alongside commentary claims about the written Torah text, especially in the adultery/stoning discussion.

Used to argue that some People of the Book in Muhammad’s time still believed what had been revealed to them and did not sell God’s verses for a small price.

Cited to explain that 'throwing the book behind their backs' means neglecting or disregarding it, not textually corrupting it.

Used to say deceivers bear the burdens of those they mislead, in support of the point that hiding/replacing true teaching has consequences.
