WAS OUR BIBLE CORRUPTED AS ISLAM CLAIMS?
The relationship between Judaism and Islam is complicated. In principle, Muslims believe that God did reveal the Torah to the Jewish people at Mt. Sinai after their exodus from Egypt. However, because of various contradictions between the Torah and Islamic teaching, it is commonly believed among Muslims that the Torah of the Jewish people has been corrupted and the text not really fully reliable. Islamic apologists often cite Jeremiah 8:8 as confirming the corruption of the Torah by Jewish scribes. This video will offer a Jewish response to this serious charge leveled against us.
JEWS FOR JUDAISM is an international organization dedicated to countering the multi-million dollar efforts of Christian missionary groups that target Jews, the impact of cults and eastern religions, and the growing rate of intermarriage that is devastating the Jewish community.

of God. The second part of the Christian Bible is the New Testament.
The books that comprise the Old Testament canon, as well as their order and names, differ between Christian denominations. The Catholic canon comprises 46 books, and the canons of the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches comprise up to 51 books and the most common Protestant canon comprises 39 books.
What is Muslim?One of the major religions of the world, Islam literally translates to "submission," as a follower of Islam (Muslims) devotes their life to that of their God. The religion began with the teachings of Muhammad in the 7th century. The theology of Islam
is based on the Qur'an, which was given to Muhammad by God. Some of the major fundamental principles of Islam include the Five Pillars, which hope to unite all Muslims into a community. Two different factions of Muslims exist - the majority are known as Sunni, with a small percentage known as Shi'a - both predominantly reside throughout the Middle East.
Muhammad died in 632 AD and the religion of Islam formally started after his death. The Quran was formally compiled and finalised in 650 AD, prior to which it was 'memorised' and written across many parchments.
