What does the Quran say about “God’s Word”? Surah 2:4 says, “[The righteous] trust what has been revealed to you [Mohammed] and to others before you, and firmly believe in the life to come.” What is meant by “what has been revealed . . . to others before you”? There are three separate writings mentioned in the Quran. Surah 5:43-14 alludes to one, “How will they come to you for judgment, when they already have the Torah which enshrines Allah’s own judgment? Soon after they are bound to ignore you: they are no true believers. There is guidance, and there is light, in the Torah which We have revealed.” Here we have the Torah, namely, the first five books by Moses that is viewed as the Word of God.

Surah 17:55 says, “Your Lord is best aware of all who dwell in heaven and earth. We have exalted some prophets above others. To David We gave the Psalms.” Surah 4:163 says, “We have revealed Our will to . . . Noah and to the prophets who came after him; . . . to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and . . . David, to whom We gave the Psalms.” We see Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, which are referred to in the Torah. We also see the Psalms and King David being referenced. Surah 5:46-47 says, “After those prophets We sent forth Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the Torah already revealed, and gave him the Gospel, in which there is guidance and light, corroborating that which was revealed before it in the Torah, a guide and an admonition to the righteous. Therefore, let the followers of the Gospel judge in accordance with what Allah has revealed therein. Evil-doers are those that do not base their judgments on Allah’s revelations.” Thus, the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospels are mentioned repeatedly as the Word of God in at least sixty-two verses in the 114 Surahs of the Quran. The Quran also teaches that these Bible books should be obeyed.

There is But One Book of Revelation

While it is appreciated that the Quran recognizes a number of Bible book as being the Word of God and that they should be obeyed, it should be noted that there are sixty-six Bible books, written by 40+ authors over a 1,600-year period that are the inspired, fully inerrant, authoritative Word of God. The real book of Revelation closes the biblical canon, and it says in the last chapter and the closing verses, “I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.” (Rev. 22:18-19) On these verses, Kendell H. Easley writes, “The one who adds to the prophecy of this book or who takes words away from this book of prophecy is the one who hears and then deliberately distorts the message of Revelation. This is extraordinary evidence that John was aware that what he had written had scriptural authority. The apostle Paul had warned the Galatian Christians that those who deliberately “pervert the gospel of Christ” risk being “eternally condemned” (Gal. 1:7–8). Centuries earlier, Moses had warned similarly, “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you” (Deut. 4:2). So now John notes that those who falsify Revelation face serious dangers. On one hand, the risk may be stated positively: God will add to him the plagues described in this book—those who add will be added unto themselves (chapters 15–16). On the other hand, the risk stated negatively is that God will take from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city—those who subtract will be subtracted from themselves (chapters 21–22) To tamper deliberately with the Word of God is a sign of unbelief, and is a dangerous matter indeed.”^[1] The Quran is an additional revelation so claims Muhammad and 1.8 billion Muslims, which would be adding to the real book of Revelation. The book of Revelation by John and the rest of the New Testament give us guidance, direction up unto the time of Armageddon. We are told that we would receive new scrolls or books that will be opened during the millennial reign. Therefore, the Quran is not a part of some continued revelation. It is a false revelation.

THE KING JAMES BIBLE: Do You Know the King James Version?

The King James Bible was originally published in 1611. Some have estimated that the number of copies of the King James Version that have been produced in print worldwide is over one billion! There is little doubt that the King James Version is a literary masterpiece, which this author has and will appreciate and value for its unparalleled beauty of expression. This book is in no way trying to take away from what the King James Version has accomplished. The King James Version is a book to be commended for all that it has accomplished. For four centuries, when English-speaking people spoke of “the Bible,” they meant the King James Version. The question that begs to be asked of those who favor the King James Bible is, Do You Know the King James Version? What do most users of the King James Bible not know about their translation? Whether you are one who favors the King James Version or one who prefers a modern translation, Andrews will answer the questions that have long been asked for centuries about the King James Bible and far more.

THE CHURCH CURE: Overcoming Church Problems

In order to overcome and church problems, we must first talk about the different problems of the church. Many of the church problems today stem from the isms: liberalism, humanism, modernism, Christian progressivism, theological liberalism, feminism, higher criticism, and biblical criticism. Moreover, many are simply not a biblically grounded church regardless of how much they claim to be so. The marks of a true Christian church would be like the different lines that make up a church’s fingerprint, a print that cannot belong to any other church. The true Christian church contains their own unique grouping of marks, forming a positive “fingerprint” that cannot belong to any other church. William Lange Craig wrote, “Remember that our faith is not based on emotions, but on the truth, and therefore you must hold on to it.” What truth? Jesus said to the Father in prayer, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” (John 17:17) Are you doing the will of the Father? Is your church doing the will of the Father? – Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:15-17.

He will focus on the largest part of Christianity that has many different denominations, the charismatic, ecstatic Signs and Wonders Movements. These ecstatic worshipers claim … DeRuvo will answer all these questions and more according to the truth of God’s Word.—John 8:31-32; 17:17.
