Found a published paper that identifies the most likely version of the Christian Bible referred to in the Quran. Would you like me to make a video on this paper?

In his debate with David Wood, Muslim apologist John Fontain argued that the Torah and Injeel can't be referring to the Scriptures that Jews and Christians had because the Quran says those Scriptures were Allah's direct speech. He's actually right, Christians and Jews don't hold a direct dictation theory of inspiration. So if the Quran says that, from an internal perspective, the Torah and Injeel can't be the Jewish and Christians Scriptures as we know them today. However, John has actually produced a new version of the Islamic Dilemma.

Horn 1 — Torah/Injeel = the Jewish & Christian Scriptures (not Allah’s “direct speech”)
If this horn is true, Islam is false because the Jewish and Christians Scriptures contradict the Quran. This isn't John's view, so he doesn't need to worry about it. He needs to worry about Horn #2.

Horn 2 — Torah/Injeel = Allah’s Direct Speech (distinct from Jewish/Christian books)
If this horn is true, Islam is false because in Surah 10:94, the Quran identifies the previous Scriptures as those that are being actually read by Jews and Christians. But the Jews and Christians weren't reading Allah's direct speech (we know what they were reading: they were reading what's in our current Bibles). Therefore, the Quran contradicts itself its identification of the Torah and Injeel, meaning Islam is false.

John of course has an escape hatch where he tries to say that verse 10:94 was only concerning Jews and Christians reading a different Torah and Injeel only available in Medina (and that we have no copies of). One of the problems with that move is that, according to Islamic scholars,10:94 is Meccan, not Medinan (it therefore refers to people outside of Medina). His move is also entirely ad hoc, needlessly complex, and completely unfalsifiable.

Will prolly put this in video form.

A Mormon church was attacked today by a gunman that rammed his car into the building and opened fire on the hundreds of people, including children, gathered inside the church. A fire broke out soon after, though it was not immediately clear how. Authorities say they suspect the gunman started the blaze, which was under control just before 1 p.m.

The gunman has been ID'd and is currently being pursued by police.

Now is not the time to discuss our disagreements with Mormon theology, now is the time to pray for those involved.

When it comes to the Islamic Dilemma, Muslim Apologists do two things. First, they claim it’s easy to respond to. Second, they each give different, mutually incompatible responses to it. These two things are in tension. If it was easy to respond to, they’d agree on the best response and rally around it. Instead what we see is widespread disagreement in their own community.

Finishing up a video right now highlighting a groundbreaking discovery of a Syriac Christian Patriarch giving the Islamic Dilemma in the 700's (just a hundred years after Muhammed). He makes a better case in some ways than we do today. Will be available shortly!
