Would you like objective answers to important spiritual questions, answered directly by the Bible and the Qur'an?

(Tevrat, Zebur & Injil) Does God want to protect all of His Holy Books from change and corruption? (Purpose /Niyet) Are the "God" of the Bible and the "Allah" of the Qur'an one and the same entity? In the Holy Books when God refers to Himself, does He ever speak in the first person plural "We"? Does God look on believers as being merely His slaves or servants? Is the Holy Spirit accepted as God? Is it accepted that Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man? Is it accepted that Christ is alive today and that he will come again? Is Muhammad's self-proclamation of being a prophet a valid test or proof of prophethood? Does a holy God take small sins seriously? Is a person's salvation contingent upon their own good works? (Ameller) Will everyone have to spend a period of time suffering in hell? Are women required to wear a veil outside the home? Did God create people in His own image and likeness?

Muslims all over the world are ignoring the message of the New Testament because their teachers say its text has been corrupted. Yet very few of them have checked to see whether what their teachers say is true. - David Byle, chairman of the Bible Correspondence Course in Turkey (bccturkey.org) What does it take to persuade an entire Islamic nation to recall and rewrite their religious education materials in order to no longer teach that the Bible has been changed? Only one thing: the Qur'an itself. The Qur'an clearly states that the Bible has not been changed and, even more shockingly, says that anyone who teaches that the Bible has been changed is in fact doomed to hell. This book, Has the Bible Been Changed?, was the reason that in 1996 the Department of Religious Affairs in Turkey recalled their existing teaching materials. As you explore these pages, you will see exactly what the Qur'an says that is so powerful that even Islamic leaders are caused to reverse course. But this book is not persuasive with many words. Rather, it shows the reader Scripture verses and other pertinent facts that will help lead one to the ultimate Truth, that there is indeed only one God, and the way to Him is through His Son, Jesus Christ. It behooves you to read this book to know that you can put your faith and confidence in the entire Bible, that it is indeed the unchangeable, inerrant Word of God.
