The Islamic Dilemma
The Quran, the Bible, and the Islamic Dilemma
"The Quran affirms the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Christian scriptures (including the Torah and the Gospel). Yet the Quran contradicts the Christian scriptures on fundamental doctrines (e.g., Jesus' death, resurrection, and deity). By affirming scriptures that contradict Islam, the Quran self-destructs."

Muhammad Believed in the Bible! Prove Us Wrong!
David Wood and Sam Shamoun [were] LIVE , proving that Muhammad believed in the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Bible. If you disagree, prove them wrong!
If you are a Muslim, please don't be offended by the truth. I encourage you to read the Bible beginning with Genesis in the Old Testament (link: Genesis) and the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament (link: Luke). "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

Where Did Jesus Say, "I Am God, Worship Me"? (David Wood)
Muslims around the world are being trained to ask Christians, “Where did Jesus say, ‘I am God, worship me,’ in those exact words?” However, if Muslims are suggesting that Jesus could only claim to be God by uttering a specific sentence, we may reply by asking, “Where did Jesus say, ‘I am only a prophet, don’t worship me,’ in those exact words?” The unreasonable demand for a particular statement, if applied consistently, would thus force Muslims to reject their own view!
Fortunately, we have a simple way to examine what Jesus said about himself. According to both the Bible and the Qur’an, there are certain claims that only God can truly make. For instance, God alone can correctly state that he created the universe. Of course, a mere human being can pronounce the words, “I created the universe,” but the statement would be false coming from anyone other than God.
Hence, if Jesus said things that can only truly be said by God, we must conclude that Jesus claimed to be God. Interestingly, Jews, Christians, and Muslims agree on many of the claims that cannot be properly made by (or about) mere human beings. In this video, we consider several examples of such claims, which are more than enough to meet the challenge of Muslim apologists like Zakir Naik and Ahmed Deedat.

Where Did Jesus Say, “I Am God; Worship Me”? by Simon Turpin - Answers in Genesis
When sharing the gospel with Muslims, it is not uncommon to hear the objection: “Where did Jesus say, ‘I am God; worship me’?” This is because many Muslims have been trained (by Muslim apologists) to ask this question of Christians and demand that the answer must be in those exact words. Of course, this is an inconsistent and irrational demand. As, if we applied the same criteria, then we could ask them to show us in the Qur’an where it says that to become a Muslim you have to use the exact words of the shahada (1st pillar of Islam): “There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of God.” Although both statements in the shahada are in the Qur’an (Surah 37:35 and 48:29), they are not found in those exact words in that order as a formula for someone to become a Muslim. Nevertheless, often when Christians do show Muslims that Jesus claimed to be divine, their response is to argue that the Gospels have been corrupted and therefore we cannot trust what they say about Jesus. This is a strange claim since the Qur’an does not teach that the Gospels have been corrupted, but rather commands Christians and Muslims to judge by what is written in the Gospels...

What is the Gospel?
"Jesus and his disciples commanded people to believe in the Gospel, and Christians have been preaching the Gospel ever since. But what is the Gospel? The word 'Gospel' means 'Good News.' The 'Good News' found in the pages of the New Testament is that God did something for us that we could never do for ourselves."
