Let us now comment on the contradictions:

·        The stance of Jesus (peace be upon him) that contradicts that of the Prophets (peace be upon them): In the Gospel of John, Jesus is claimed to have said about the previous Prophets: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”[1] A part of their Holy Scripture is nothing but the speech of the previous Prophets of Allah, as they believe, and they cite their speech as evidence to argue by. How can they then argue by the words and actions of thieves and robbers as Jesus describes them, as they allege? Of course, this speech is attributed to Jesus (peace be upon him) falsely and scandalously, for in another Gospel we read the words of Jesus that contradict this allegation and refute it drastically. Jesus (peace be upon him) confirms that he came to perfect the laws the Prophets before him had come with. Jesus (peace be upon him) says: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”[2]

·        Discrepancy in the witness of Jesus: We find the witness of Jesus (peace be upon him) acceptable in one text and rejected in another. In the Gospel of John he says: “If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me.”[3] In another position in the same Gospel Jesus (peace be upon him) says: “Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go.”[4] How can his witness be both true and false, accepted and rejected at the same time? How can both contradictory statements occur together in a Book attributed to Allah (SWT)?

·        The students are given different names in the different Gospels:

They are just twelve students, yet we find differences in their names. In contrast the followers of Muhammad (peace be upon him) were more than 100000, yet we have no such inconsistencies in their names or their news. This surely indicates that the Gospel has been corrupted and changed.

George Kurd says: “When the gospels were written even the names of the students (apostles) were not checked and verified. In the lists mentioned in the gospels of Matthew and Mark we do not find “Judas the brother of James” but find in its place “Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus”.[5]

·        The contradictory view of Jesus on Peter:

Jesus says to Peter: “And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Thus Jesus (peace be upon him) gives Peter, the Head of the Apostles, a very high rank and status, for he made the Will of Allah subordinate to that of Peter, for whatsoever he will bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; namely, Peter has been granted the keys of earth and heaven.

This text occurs at the top of the first page. We have hardly filled our eyes with this great image of Peter when we see another completely different image that invalidates the previous dialogue and changes Peter from a divine human being into a horrible devil. In the same Chapter (16) after two verses only—about two lines—from Jesus’ promising words to him, Matthew says: “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”[6] Besides this obvious contradiction we find in the fist text ascription of partners to Allah by giving Peter the right to legislate as to what is lawful and what is unlawful. 

·        Differences in the lineage of Jesus (peace be upon him):[7]

A group of investigators admit that the two (gospels) disagree considerably. Adam Clark, an eminent interpreter of the Gospel, transmits the following apology by (Harmersy) on page 408, vol. 5: “Any knowledgeable scholar knows that Matthew and Luke differ so much about illustrating the lineage of the Lord that the old and recent investigators have been perplexed about the issue.”[8]

The contradictions discussed above are enough for now and we will present more examples when we study and refute their doctrines. We will find the Gospels replete with contradictions and discrepancies, where we see the new contradicts the old and the previous contradicts what precedes it, and even the same evidence contradicts itself. It is not only we who declare this but their scholars who are specialized in the study of he Gospels also. Yet only a few Christians are aware of these declarations.
