I am going to repost my challenge to a rather vile Muhammadan who wrote a post attacking the Bible for a supposed error concerning its teaching that rabbits chew the cud (https://bloggingtheology2.com/2018/12/07/on-rabbits-and-rumination-a-response-to-christian-interpretations-of-leviticus-115-6/). Suffice it to say the Muhammadan never answered my challenge, and after you read this post you will see why. So enjoy!
HAHAHAHA right back at ya! It’s sad that Williams allows you to
even post here since it brings the value of his site way down.
With that said, since you introduced a red herring which I am
and will continue to obliterate, I am going to follow suit and raise up an
issue for you to address honestly, which I know is impossible for you to do.
According to your profit, Jesus was sent to confirm the Torah in
his possession:
And He will teach him the Book and the wisdom and the Torah and
the Gospel… “attesting to WHAT IS BETWEEN MY HANDS (Wamusaddiqan lima bayna yadayya) OF THE
TORAH, and to make lawful to you a part of that which is forbidden to you.” S.
3:48, 50
And in their footsteps (of Moses and the Jews) We sent Jesus the
son of Mary, attesting to the Torah WHICH WAS BETWEEN HIS HANDS (musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi);
and We gave him the Gospel – therein is guidance and light and attesting to the
Torah WHICH WAS BETWEEN HIS HANDS (wamusaddiqan
lima bayna yadayhi): a guidance and an admonition to the righteous.
S. 5:46
Then will God say, “O Jesus son of Mary! Recount my favor to you
and to your mother when I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit, so that you
spoke to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught you the Book
and Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel…” S. 5:110
And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: ‘Oh Children of
Israel! I am the apostle of God to you, CONFIRMING THAT WHICH IS BETWEEN MY
HANDS from the Torah (musaddiqan
lima bayna yadayya mina al-tawrati)…” S. 61:6
The Sunni Muslim commentator Ibn Kathir comments on Sura 3:50:
… The Tawrah is the Book THAT ALLAH SENT DOWN TO MUSA, son of
Imran, while the Injil is what Allah sent down to Isa, son of Maryam, peace be
upon them, AND ISA MEMORIZED BOTH BOOKS…
affirming the Tawrah AND UPHOLDING IT,” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir,
Abridged, Volume 2, parts 3,4 & 5, Surat Al-Baqarah, Verse 253, to Surat
An-Nisa, Verse 147 [March 2000], pp. 163, 165 http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=538&Itemid=46;

Jesus, according to Ibn Kathir, memorized and upheld the Torah
that God taught him, even though Muhammadans like you would have us believe
that in reality this was a corrupted Torah! And:
… meaning, he believed in it AND RULED BY IT…
meaning, HE ADHERED TO THE TAWRAH, except for the few instances
that clarified the truth where the Children of Israel differed. Allah states in
another Ayah that ‘Isa said to the Children of Israel,…
So the scholars say that the Injil abrogated some of the rulings
of the Tawrah… (Tafsir

Finally:
‘Isa said, “The Tawrah conveyed the glad tidings of my coming,
and my coming CONFIRMS THE TRUTH OF THE TAWRAH…” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Abridged, Volume 9,

Make sure you don’t do your Islamic tap dance and bark wildly,
by evading what these texts are saying, since all of the passages and citations
affirm that Jesus testified and confirmed THE TORAH which the Jews possessed in
his day, which Ibn Kathir says was the same that Moses received. Not a word is
said about the Torah being corrupted.
And here is what the Islamic sources say regarding your profit’s
attitude in respect to the Torah in his possession:
36 Tribulations
(26) Chapter: The disappearance of the Quran and Knowledge
It was narrated that Ziyad bin Labid said:
“The Prophet mentioned something and said: ‘That will be at the
time when knowledge (of Qur’an) disappears.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how
will knowledge disappear when we read the Qur’an and teach it to our children,
until the Day of Resurrection?’ He said: ‘May your mother be bereft of you,
Ziyad! I thought that you were the wisest man in Al- Madinah. Is it not the
case that these Jews and Christians READ THE TAWRAH AND THE INJIL, but they do
not act upon anything of what is in them?’”

41 Chapters on Knowledge
(5) Chapter: What Has Been Related About Knowledge Leaving
Narrated Jubair bin Nufair:
from Abu Ad-Darda who said: “We were with the Prophet when he
raised his sight to the sky, then he said: ‘This is the time when knowledge is
to be taken from the people, until what remains of it shall not amount to
anything.” So Ziyad bin Labid Al-Ansari said: ‘How will it be taken from us
while we recite the Qur’an. By Allah we recite it, and our women and children
recite it?’ He said: ‘May you be bereaved of your mother O Ziyad! I used to
consider you among the Fuqaha of the people of Al-Madinah. The Tawrah and Injil
ARE WITH THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS, but what do they avail of them?‘” Jubair
said: “So I met ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit and said to him: ‘Have you not heard what
your brother Abu Ad-Darda said?’ Then I informed him of what Abu Ad-Darda said.
He said: ‘Abu Ad-Darda spoke the truth. If you wish, we shall narrated to you
about the first knowledge to be removed from the people: It is Khushu’, soon
you will enter the congregational Masjid, but not see any man in it with
Khushu’.’”

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar:A group of Jews came and invited the
Apostle of Allah to Quff. So he visited them in their school.
They said: AbulQasim, one of our men has committed fornication
with a woman; so pronounce judgment upon them. They placed a cushion for the
Apostle of Allah who sat on it and said: Bring the Torah. It was then brought.
He then withdrew the cushion from beneath him AND PLACED THE TORAH ON IT
saying: I BELIEVED IN THEE and in Him WHO REVEALED THEE.
He then said: Bring me one who is learned among you. Then a
young man was brought. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition
of stoning similar to the one transmitted by Malik from Nafi’ (No. 4431).”
Grade: Hasan (Al-Albani) (Sunan
Abu Dawud, Book 38. Kitab al Hudud (“The Book of Prescribed Punishments”),
Number 4434 https://sunnah.com/abudawud/40/99;

Not only does your profit claim that the Jews and Christians of
his day possessed the uncorrupt Torah and Gospel, not a corrupted version of
these revelations, he even shows love and respect for the very copy of the
Torah in the possession of the Jews, which he places on a cushion and bears
witness to his absolute faith in it!
In fact, Ibn Taymiyya’s premiere student stated that Muslim
scholars used this very hadith and Quran 6:115 to prove that the Torah is
incorruptible:
On the other side, another party of hadith and fiqh scholars
said: these changes took place during its interpretation and not during the
process of its revelation. This is the view OF ABI ABDULLAH MUHAMMAD BIN
ISHMAEL AL-BUKHARI who said in his hadith collection:
NO ONE CAN CORRUPT THE TEXT BY REMOVING ANY OF ALLAH’S WORDS
FROM HIS BOOKS, but they corrupted it by misinterpreting it.
Al-Razi ALSO AGREES WITH THIS OPINION. In his commentary he
said:
There is a difference of opinions regarding this matter among
some of the respectable scholars. Some of these scholars said: the manuscript
copies of the Torah were distributed everywhere and no one knows the exact
number of these copies except Allah. It is impossible to have a conspiracy to
change or alter the word of God in all of these copies without missing any
copy. Such a conspiracy will not be logical or possible. And when Allah told
his messenger (Muhammad) to ask the Jews to bring their Torah and read it
concerning the stoning command they were not able to change this command from
their copies, that is why they covered up the stoning verse while they were
reading it to the prophet. It was then when Abdullah Ibn Salam requested that
they remove their hand so that the verse became clear. If they have changed or
altered the Torah then this verse would have been one of the important verses
to be altered by the Jews.
Also, whenever the prophet would ask them (the Jews) concerning
the prophecies about him in the Torah they were not able to remove them either,
and they would respond by stating that they are not about him and they are
still waiting for the prophet in their Torah.
Abu Dawood narrated in his collection that Ibn Umar said:
A group of Jewish people invited the messenger of Allah to a
house. When he came, they asked him: O Abu Qassim, one of our men committed
adultery with a woman, what is your judgment against him? So they placed a
pillow and asked the messenger of Allah to set on it. Then the messenger of
Allah proceeded to say: BRING ME THE TORAH. When they brought it, he removed
the pillow from underneath him AND PLACED THE TORAH ON IT and said: I BELIEVE
IN YOU AND IN THE ONE WHO REVEALED YOU, then said: bring me one of you who have
the most knowledge. So they brought him a young man who told him the story of
the stoning.
The scholars said: if the Torah was corrupted HE WOULD NOT HAVE
PLACED IT ON THE PILLOW AND HE WOULD NOT HAVE SAID: I believe in you and in the
one who revealed you.
This group of scholars also said: Allah said:
“And the word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly;
there is none who can change His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.”
(Q. 6:115)
And the Torah is Allah’s word. (Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, Ighathat Al Lahfan,
Volume 2, p. 351; capital emphasis ours)
Notice, once again, that Muhammad affirmed the very copy of the
Torah which the Jews handed him as the uncorrupt revelation of his god,
testifying that he believed in its absolute authority without a single word
about it’s being corrupted. And the reasoning which these Muslim scholars
employed to affirm the incorruptibility of the Torah is sound, since both their
premises and the conclusion they drew from them are logically valid:
1. None can change or corrupt the words of Allah.
2. Books such as the Torah and the Gospel are the words of Allah.
3. Therefore, none can change or corrupt the text of any of Allah’s Books such
as the Torah and the Gospel.
With the foregoing in view, here’s my first question to show why
you have no business in apologetics and should actually be selling cars for a
living. Did the Torah that Jesus and Muhammad have access to contain the verse
of Leviticus 11:6?
I hope your stupid enough to quote verses from the Quran such as
Q. 2:79 to try to tap dance around this since I am going to have a field day
exposing you, your profit and his deity.
Like I said, I am going to have lots of fun at the expense of
you, your profit and his lord.
So go ahead and make my day!
