Jesus in Matthew 24 referenced Daniel 11.  The headquarters of the evil shepherd will be from Jerusalem to the Mediterranean sea:

Daniel 11:45: "(the evil one) will establish his settlement between Mount Zion (Jerusalem) and the Mediterranean sea.  Then he will be destroyed, and no one will be able to save him."

To all of Israel's holy toilet papers out there:  This geography is precisely evil Israel today.  With your blood, wealth, and children's blood and wealth you plot, and fight and die for its evil cause against the Palestinians and the rest of the Muslims; the true believers of GOD Almighty.  9/11 was 100% an Israeli mossad and CIA job:

Thermite melted the pillars:

   
Thermite causes the metal to burn wildly, and if you pour water on it, it will be enraged even more.  Airplanes do not carry thermite!  Thermite was used to bring down the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001 by the Israeli Mossad and CIA.

Daniel 11:45: "(the evil one) will establish his settlement between Mount Zion (Jerusalem) and the Mediterranean sea.  Then he will be destroyed, and no one will be able to save him."

Dust blower:

Also, the Paris attack Israeli Mossad and CIA lie.  The machine gun was a dust blower.  The terrorist shot flour or white-dust at the Israeli agent.  Notice how the shot agent's left arm and hand is reaching inside to the collar.  This is all after he got his brain blown out at point blank range by the terrorist's lethal children's nerf gun.  No instant paralysis, no instant death, no blood, bones and flesh splashed mess, no pain:

Israel vs. Daniel: [1]

Matthew 24
15 "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand-
16 then let those who are in Judea (Palestinians' West Bank) flee to the mountains.
17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.
18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.

My comment:  Israel will be the evil state of the anti-Christ.  Daniel's prophecy excludes Judea, and it precisely says that he will establish his evil headquarters from between Jerusalem and the Mediterranean sea.  That's precisely evil Israel today.  Judea is in the Palestinians' West Bank.  Take for example, Jesus' birth place:

Matthew 2:1 "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea (in the West Bank) in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,"
  

Matthew 24:25-27: Jesus will return as an Arab from Syria.

See also: Example of Bible verses and books about God is against Teman (pagan Arabia), but later "God came from Teman" [1] and His holy one from Mecca, i.e., Islam and Prophet Muhammad.

Jesus: Spirit of Truth is Prophet Muhammad (John 16:13).

Teman and Paran:

We read in the Bible: "GOD came from Teman and his Holy One from Paran" (Habakkuk 3:3).

1-  Tema was one of Ishmael's sons.

2-  Tema in Hebrew means the "south country".  We also know that Tema (Tayma) is in Saudi Arabia today, and Saudi Arabia is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan.

3-  We also know that Paran was Mecca even before Islam.  Even the Christian writings in year 314 AD say Paran was Mecca.  Also, the Jewish Samaritan Pentateuch says Paran was Mecca.

4-  We also know in Deuteronomy 18:18,  GOD will send the Israelites a Prophet from their "brothers" [2].  That's the Ishmaelites.  Ample verses also provided where the same word was also used for cousins.  Isaac and Ishmael were brothers, and their sons are cousins.  Also visit:

Isaiah 29: Mentions Islam's cave Hira (χιρα), Quran revelation in it & unlettered Prophet Muhammad. 

Matthew 24:25-27: Jesus will return as an Arab from Syria.

Tribes of Teman:

5-  So Teman here references what was then a vast region in Arabia that encompassed the tribes of Teman and the lands of Paran.  Both Teman and Paran are linked together in Habakkuk 3:3.  The context encompasses both of them.

"Moses was a lawgiver, and promulgated a new code; so did Mahomed.  Jesus, on the contrary, declared he was not come to abrogate but to "fulfill the law;" and declared that "not a jot or little of the law should pass away until all these things were fulfilled."  The Christian heresies have, by their laxity and corruption, subverted the decent observances of the law, and introduced a heathen license; but Islam confirms and fulfills this prophecy and ordinance completely.... But the still greater light to be brought by Mahomed is now to be foretold.  At Isi. c. 21, v. 13-15 the Hegira is predicted.  "In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge ye travelling companies of Dedanim"  The whole of the tribe of Dedan, to which Obeidollah and many other distinguished Mussulman fathers belonged, emigrated to Medina, leaving their houses in Mecca locked up.  "The inhabitants of the land of Tema (the name of a son of Ishmael, and the name of the tribe to which the Prophet's father-in-law Abueka belonged) brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled."  The part of the Hijaz in which Medina is situated is called Tema to-day, doubtless from the tribe of Tema.  The whole of the twenty-eighth of Isaiah is a prophecy of the mission of Mahomed and of Islam as the 'mighty and strong one,' and 'the overflowing scourge.' * * * And here also the peculiar mode in which the Koran was revealed, and the personal characteristics of the Prophet, are quite literally depicted. * * *"

Pagan-Teman vs. Islam-Teman:

During the pagan times during Nebuchadnezzar, King Darius and others' times, Teman was a pagan land and people.  But later, GOD Almighty's Islam and Prophet Muhammad were to come from Teman and Paran and change Arabia and all nations forever: [1] [2]

Ezekiel 25
13 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill both man and beast. I will lay it waste, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

Amos 1
12 I will send fire on Teman that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.”

Obadiah 1
9 Your warriors, Teman, will be terrified, and everyone in Esau’s mountains will be cut down in the slaughter.

Then later:

Habakkuk 3
3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth.

Are you the Prophet?

6-  In the New Testament, we read about how the Jews had prophecies about the following servants still yet to come:

1.  Elijah.
2.  The Messiah.
3.  The Prophet.

John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44.  Click on the images to expand:
  
    
  
John 1
John the Baptist Tells People About Jesus
19 Here is the ·truth John told [testimony John gave; witness of John; 1:6] when the leaders [Jewish leadership; Jews; John often uses the term "Jews" to refer to the religious leaders in opposition to Jesus, rather than to the Jewish people generally] in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites [the religious authorities; priests oversaw temple worship; Levites were members of the tribe of Levi who assisted them; 1 Chr. 23:24-32] to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 John spoke freely [confessed] and did not refuse to answer [deny it]. He said, "I am not the Christ [Messiah]."
21 So they asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" [Elijah, an OT prophet, was expected to come back before the Messiah; 1 Kin. 17-2 Kin. 2; Mal. 4:5-6.]
He answered, "No, I am not."
"Are you the Prophet?" [the Prophet like Moses predicted in Deut. 18:15-19] they asked.
He answered, "No."

Notice here how Christ, Elijah and the Prophet are three different persons.

John 7
The People Argue About Jesus
40 When the people heard Jesus' words, some of them said, "This man really is the Prophet [1:21; the "prophet like Moses" of Deut. 18:15-18]."
41 Others said, "He is the Christ [Messiah]." Still others said, "The Christ [Messiah] will not come from Galilee.
42 The Scripture says that the Christ [Messiah] will come from David's family [offspring; seed; 2 Sam. 7:12-16; Ps. 89:3-4; Is. 9:7; 55:3] and from Bethlehem, the town [village] where David lived [Mic. 5:2]."
43 So the people did not agree with each other [there was a division in the crowd] about Jesus.
44 Some of them wanted to arrest [seize] him, but no one was able to touch [lay a hand on] him.

They lied:

1-  The writers of the NT lied and said that Jesus is both the Messiah and the Prophet.  But this is a lie, because the Prophet in the OT was to come from Arabia, while the Messiah was to come from Bethlehem, Palestine.  Two different persons in two different geographies.  For example:

Was Jesus from Paran? 
Was Jesus from Teman?
Was Jesus from the desert of Kedar?  Isaiah prophecy: House of GOD will be built in the desert of Kedar.  Kedar was one of Ishmael's sons.
Was Jesus from the Israelites' brothers [2], the Ishmaelites?
Was Jesus the unlettered Prophet that received his Divine Revelation in Cave Hira in Mecca?  Isaiah 29: Mentions Islam's cave Hira (χιρα), Quran revelation in it & unlettered Prophet Muhammad.

Was it Jesus or Islam that fulfilled these?  For ample more proofs please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/ac.htm#capsule.

Jesus: Spirit of Truth is Prophet Muhammad (John 16:13).

Keep in mind also that the NT's gospels and books were written around 80 to 300 years after Jesus' departure.  Most if not all of the disciples were already dead.  The Bible's own theologians admit that almost all of the Bible's gospels and books:

Do contain alterations, fables and man-made injections in them.
Written by mysterious men.
Written by an unknown number of men.
Written in unknown places.
Written in unknown dates.

Jew on Jew example:

I gave examples of Jew vs Jew in the OT, and how using such battles against certain Jews today would be entirely off and ridiculous.  Here is an example:

Judges 20
48 The men of Israel went back to Benjamin and put all the towns to the sword, including the animals and everything else they found. All the towns they came across they set on fire.

You can't today say that Jewish Benjamites or Benjaminites are sons of satan and cite this verse and other verses similar to it as proof, for example.  Your proof would be totally off.  Please visit:

Does the Quran say conclusively the bible was corrupted?

Also visit:

Is there anything legitimate called "Bible" to begin with? There is no Divine book called "Bible".  It's a man-made lie. The Bible is no more than a book that contains collections of writings of people that were not the original Prophets and Disciples.  Even the Christian theologians declare this:

www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/ac6.htm#links
www.answering-christianity.com/jesus_problematic_hyperboles.htm

Ironically, the very Bible itself also declares this:

www.answering-christianity.com/warning.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/deuteronomy4_2.htm  See section 3-f in this article "So which Book is the People of the Book's?"  It is the Dhikr (Law) of Moses according to several Noble Verses.

Question:

I've heard that Quran 2:79 is not really referring to the Jews, but the "ummi", the gentiles who write books, because the verse right before 2:78 is talking about people who don't know the book, writing the book.

Also the others say that the Quranic mensions of "distort the scripture" is "by their tongue". So they are not describing the written text being distorted, but the way they speak, they distort it.

If someone can show me that the context of this verse is referring to the Jews corrupting the scripture, that would be very helpful! :)

If there is any new thing you could add, it would be helpful to me for native Arabic speakers like Osama to help prove that the Quran conclusively says the older scriptures were corrupted.

Answer:

[002:078] And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.

[002:079] Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.

Again, these Noble Verses confirm that there is nothing called "Bible". It is a book of conjecture, false desires and lies.  Indeed, woe to them for what their hands do write.

  
Which Book is their book?

Notice how Allah Almighty mentions His Divine Book, and also mentions their corrupt book that they fabricate in Noble Verses 2:78-79, above.  Two books mentioned.  Their Divine Book is the Laws that call for the Oneness of GOD Almighty, and the Laws that Allah Almighty called "burdens and shackles" (7:157) upon the Jews that Islam came to free them from:

www.answering-christianity.com/islam.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/was_muta_immoral.htm#no_abrogation
www.answering-christianity.com/warning.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/deuteronomy4_2.htm  See section 3-f in this article "So which Book is the People of the Book's?"  It is the Dhikr (Law) of Moses according to several Noble Verses.

Like all previous Divine Books that Allah Almighty willed for them to be lost forever (ex: books of Ishmael, Noah and others), the people of the Book's "book" is no different.  It's original text too got lost forever.  However, the Divine Commandments still live.  Again, those are the BURDENS AND SHACKLES that Islam came to free them from.  What the Jews and Christians have is crookedness of false desires and conjecture.  This is why Allah Almighty said this about the Glorious Quran:

[018:001] Praise be to God, Who hath sent to His Servant the Book, and hath allowed therein no Crookedness:

[039:028] (It is) a Quran in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard against Evil.

So the Ultimate Book of the people of the Book is the Glorious Quran.  Not the pile of dung of praising boyfriend-girlfriend fornication in an incestuous-like description that is called "the Bible":

From www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php?topic=1940.msg7927#msg7927:

If Gospel was corrupted then why Allah ordered to judge by corrupted book?

 It was God's orders at time of Prophet Jesus. Now, things changed.

Quran: The Ultimate Reference.

Just read in context.

Noble Verses 5:46-49 above in text:

46. And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which were guidance and light and confirming that which preceded  it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous.

47. And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are defiantly disobedient.

48. And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the Truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allah willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to Allah; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ.

49. And so judge (You O Muhammad) between them by what Allah has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad) far away from some of that which Allah has send down to you.  And if they turn away, then know that Allah's Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of men are Fasiqun  (rebellious and disobedient to Allah).

Acts 13:52
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:4
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Acts 4:31
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

2-  Why did they have to roll the dice (cast lot) to randomly select Matthias?

"Is casting lots gambling?

Casting lots or Drawing of lots may refer to: Cleromancy, a form of divination. Lottery, a form of gambling that involves the drawing of numbers for a prize. Sortition, the practice of randomly selecting political officials from a larger pool of candidates." (Source, 2)

3-  Isn't this also a form of promoting and/or legitimizing gambling and sorcery and future telling through rolling the dice nonsense, since in the Bible the roll of dice was not only legitimate, but it determined the 12th disciples to replace Judas!

4-  So any delusional fool out there could pray in the Name of the Lord and cast lots and whatever the result is is from GOD Almighty??

5-  And who will sit at the Throne in the End?  Matthias or Judas?

Also visit:

  
Holy Spirit only for Money:

When it came to Collecting Money, the Holy Spirit was all over the place.  You'll need to read Acts, chapters 3 thru 6.  But here is an example:

Acts 5
Ananias and Sapphira
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.
6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

So here we have a man who sold a piece of his property and donated some of it for the cause of GOD Almighty.  What was the answer to his charitable deed?  His heart is filled with satan because he didn't give all of the money of the property's sale.  So obviously, all of the Christians today, world-wide without any exception, are liars whose hearts are filled with satan, because they all have possessions and properties that they hold on to.

Look at the irony here:  When it came to collecting money, the Holy Spirit was all over the place.  But when it came to selecting the 12th disciple, they had to roll the dice to pick Matthias by a game of chance.  And they lied on GOD Almighty and said that the result of the casting of the lots was from GOD Almighty.  But the Holy Spirit was SUPPOSEDLY THERE from the first place!  So why couldn't It just speak Matthias' name and be done with it??  The reason this didn't happen is:

1-  Because they didn't have the Holy Spirit.

2-  They couldn't agree on which candidate to choose as the twelfth disciple, because their heads were empty and were never filled with the Holy Spirit.

3-  GOD Almighty would NEVER speak through rolling dice garbage, because it would only add more suspicion and confusion.  It undercuts the credibility of the disciples.

4-  The authors of the Bible have lied on Jesus and his disciples and their history.  Even the Bible's own theologians and historians admit that the Bible's books and gospels:

(a)-  Were written by unknown people.
(b)-  In unknown places.
(c)-  In unknown dates.
(d)-  By unknown number of people.

Fabricating books:

Hoaxes written?

The above clearly demonstrates that there was no Holy Spirit inspiring the characters mentioned in the Bible's New Testament.  I am not saying all of the NT is false, but most certainly much much of it is fabricated hoaxes.  The most offensive one of them is the fact that they had to resort to rolling the dice to choose a disciples?  And the result from the dice roll was from GOD??  This is no less than a blasphemy and an insult on:

1-  GOD Almighty.
2-  The Holy Spirit.
3-  All human logic and intelligence.

Why even need to roll the dice (cast lot) when you are SUPPOSEDLY filled with the Holy Spirit??  After all, was it a Spirit or a spit that they were filled with?  And was it GOD Almighty that made the descision or the random chance of casting lots?

Quran Miracle: The Jews' and Christians' scribes changed and still change the Words.  Proven with images, text and videos from their corrupt bible and books!  See how they removed words and altered words.

  

Some important questions to consider:

1. Will Judas or Matthias sit at the Throne?
2. Is Gambling allowed in Christianity?
3. Why were the disciples disputing on the 12th disciple if the Holy Spirit was supposedly to the One who chose him?
4. Why did they have to "cast lot" (roll the dice) to choose him when the Holy Spirit was supposedly standing there to choose him?
     
   Note:  They rolled the dice (casted lot) because they were in dispute over whom to choose as the 12th disciple:
     
   "Is casting lots gambling?
     
   Casting lots or Drawing of lots may refer to: Cleromancy, a form of divination. Lottery, a form of gambling that involves the drawing of numbers for a prize. Sortition, the practice of randomly selecting political officials from a larger pool of candidates." (Source, 2)
     
     
5. So why were they in dispute if the Holy Spirit was supposedly there??
     
6. Wouldn't the dispute not be disputing, but rather blaspheming against the Holy Spirit?  But then again, the Holy Spirit wasn't there to choose him.  They lied and said It was there, and It did choose him.  It was the roll of the dice (casting the lot) that determined the 12th disciple, not the Holy Spirit!  Otherwise, why even roll the dice?
     
7. The disciples' martyrdom hoax is based on legends and false writings that were written centuries after Christ.
     
     
8. Titus wholesale slaughter of Israel and Jerusalem in year 70 AD created all kinds of martyrdom stories.  And certainly many martyrdom stories were written in Israel and abroad.  Every hero had to be martyred to further legitimize the cause.  And so therefore, many fabricated stories were invented regarding the disciples to raise their heroism.  Not only that, but all of the Bible's accounts are highly doubtful.  The Bible's own theologians thoroughly admit this in all of the Bibles' commentaries.
     
     
9. The Bible in both the Old and New Testaments ***** declares that Jesus never died on the cross *****.  This is exactly what Islam also declares!  This is demonstrated below and also thoroughly demonstrated at:
     
   What is the best way to convert a non-Muslim to Islam?

As'salamu Alaikum everyone,

The Bible says that Jesus Christ had 12 disciples.  They're all listed in Matthew 10 as follows:

1-  Peter (also known as Simon).
2-  Andrew.
3-  James son of Zebedee.
4-  John son of Zebedee.
5-  Philip.
6-  Bartholomew.
7-  Thomas.
8-  Matthew.
9-  James son of Alphaeus.
10- Thaddaeus.
11- Simon the Zealot.
12- Judas Iscariot.

Just wondering here since we're told in the Bible's New Testament that Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 disciples, betrayed Jesus:

Matthew 26
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.
21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”
Jesus answered, “You have said so.”

Yet, Jesus when he started his ministry with the 12 (including Judas), he said this:

Matthew 19
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

So, will Judas sit in one of the 12 Thrones?  Or will he be condemned to Hell, since Jesus said woe to him, and it would've been better for him if he was never born.  And if Judas will be condemned to Hell, then did Jesus lie when he promised Judas one of the 12 Thrones?

So what do you think?

So what do you, the reader, think?  Am I way off?  Where am I going wrong here?  Is Holy Gambling allowed in Christianity?  And was playing a game of chance necessary in choosing the twelfth disciple?  Doesn't this prove that there was indeed a dispute amongst them on who should've been the 12th disciple?  And since there was NO HOLY SPIRIT inspiring them, the only way to resolve this was to cast lots.  Don't forget that Jesus promised them that the Holy Spirit will speak clearly to them without any confusion or riddle:

John 16
25 I have used examples to explain to you what I have been talking about. But the time will come when I will speak to you plainly about the Father and will no longer use examples like these.

So why couldn't Jesus here just SPEAK Matthias' name to be the 12th disciple?  Why the use of the game of chance?  Does it not render him useless and pointless when using it to determine who will be the winner (12th disciple)?  The point of Jesus' promise of speaking clearly and plainly and directly without riddles or examples to his disciples was to prevent any and all confusion.  Yet, we see here a silly game of chance determining a very important issue in Christianity!  The determination of the 12th disciple should not be done by:

1-  Voting among the disciples.

2-  Or playing a game of chance among the disciples.

This is a thing that GOD Almighty supposedly has to decide for Himself.  After all this is disciple that WILL SIT AT THE THRONE OF GOD ALMIGHTY TO JUDGE THE ISRAELITES.  So no game of chance should be allowed.  Why use it when they supposedly had the Holy Spirit speaking clearly and plainly and directly to them?  Doesn't this look like a fabricated lie on GOD Almighty to you??  It sure stinks like a rotten dead flesh to me!

  
Were the disciples martyred?

Some might answer the above objections by saying that yes GOD Almighty chose the game of chance to determine the 12th disciple, and the proof for this is the fact that the disciples were all or most martyred in the cause of spreading Christianity.  So therefore, since they died for what they believed in, then they certainly have died for something they very strongly believed was the Truth.  And since they all or many of them did it, then this could not have been a fabricated lie.

Response:

1-  There is not one confirmed fact that any of the disciples was martyred for his belief.  All of these claims of martyrdoms were written by Church fathers in the 3rd and 4th century.  That's at least 200 years after Jesus' departure. 

"Summary:  The Bible only mentions the deaths of two apostles, James who was put to death by Herod Agrippa I in 44 AD and Judas Iscariot who committed suicide shortly after the death of Christ.    The details of the deaths of three of the apostles (John, the Beloved, Bartholomew and Simon the Canaanite) are not known at all, either by tradition or early historians. The deaths of the other seven apostles are known by tradition or the writings of early Christian historians.  According to traditions and the Bible, eight of the Apostles died as Martyrs.  At least two of the Apostles, Peter and Andrew were crucified."  (Source)

2-  The Bible declares that Jesus never died:

It is worth noting that the Bible's Old and New Testaments both declare that Jesus never died.  The following was taken from: What is the best way to convert a non-Muslim to Islam?:
  

3-  Not only that, but Israel has faced a major wholesale slaughter by Titus and his army in year 70 AD.  So many had died just for being Jews.  And all of the disciples of Jesus were Jewish.  And certainly many martyrdom stories were written in Israel and abroad.  Every hero had to be martyred to further legitimize the cause.  And so therefore, many fabricated stories were invented regarding the disciples to raise their heroism.  Not only that, but all of the Bible's accounts are highly doubtful.  The Bible's own theologians thoroughly admit this in all of the Bibles' commentaries:

Jesus is the resurrection (John 11:25), but yet does not know when the Hour of the resurrection will come (Matthew 24:36) [1], and he had to cry, weep and beg GOD to resurrect Lazarus back to life.  And this proves he is our Creator?  And how is he exactly The Resurrection?  Could Jesus and the disciples honestly even resurrect or create a fly on their own?  This is one of the Glorious Quran's challenges to the polytheists from mankind who insist on deifying flesh and blood, dust and water, and idols.  All are helpless.  All are worthless when compared to Allah Almighty.

In the OT, Elisha and many others also raised the dead:

2 Kings 4
32 Elisha arrived at the woman’s house and went straight to his room, where he saw the boy’s body on his bed.
33 He walked in, shut the door, and prayed to the Lord.
34 Then he got on the bed and stretched out over the dead body, with his mouth on the boy’s mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hand on his hands. As he lay there, the boy’s body became warm.
35 Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room, then he went back and leaned over the boy’s body. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
36 Elisha called out to Gehazi, “Have the boy’s mother come here.” Gehazi did, and when she was at the door, Elisha said, “You can take your son.”
37 She came in and bowed down at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and left.

Song of Songs 8:1-3
  
1. Oh, I wish you were my brother, who nursed at my mother’s breasts. Then I could kiss you no matter who was watching, and no one would criticize me.
2 I would bring you to my childhood home, and there you would teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, my sweet pomegranate wine.
3 Your left arm would be under my head, and your right arm would embrace me.

Song of Solomon 3:4
Then scarcely had I left them when I found my love! I caught and held him tightly, then I brought him to my mother’s house, into my mother’s bed, where I had been conceived.

Song of Solomon 7:10-12
10 I am my lover’s, and he claims me as his own.
11 Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers.
12 Let us get up early and go to the vineyards to see if the grapevines have budded, if the blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love.

Song of Songs 8:8-9
8 We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?

Let me guess:  Deflower her in your mother's bed?

His sister's vagina tasted like "wine": [1] AUDIO clip. (Song of Songs 7:1-4, 8-9).  The Bible praises, and even promotes, incestuous-like boyfriend-girlfriend fornications: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9].  Notice "no one would criticize me" (Song of Songs 8:1), above.  A husband and wife, or even a brother and sister, would not be criticized if people saw them walking to their home.  Clearly, this is not a husband and wife relationship.  And this is the pile of dung that Jews and Christians uphold as the Holy Word of GOD Almighty??

Masturbating on his sister:

Now let me ask the horny creep in Song of Songs 8:8-9.  How many times have you already masturbated on your sister in your thoughts?  And did you also fantasize about your mother and her bed? 

Again, this is the pile of dung that Jews and Christians uphold as the Holy Word of GOD Almighty??

Bride is not wife:

In the Middle East, there is no "boyfriend" and "girlfriend".  If two are spoken of, or if two fall in love and want to get married, then the guy would call her his bride.  This is close enough to a fiancée.  So in this gospel of porn, when he calls her his "bride", he's not calling her his wife as the barking sodomized-by-their-priests proclaim.  It's a relationship between a boyfriend and a girlfriend.  "Bride" is a Semitic language metaphor.  In this gospel of porn, it is referring to his girlfriend.  In the chaste world of Islam, a wife is one who had sexual intercourse with her husband.  She now changed from being a bride to a wife.  A bride has not yet had sex with her groom.  They have not yet married.

Song of Songs 4:8-12
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon. Descend from the crest of Amana, from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon, from the lions' dens and the mountain haunts of the leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like that of Lebanon.
12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.

Bible's NT's and OT's Polygamy: [1]

Even the Bible's polygamy is lacking.  In Islam, I can not marry both the mother and her daughter, or even two sisters (only if one sister dies or I divorce her, then I can marry the other).  In Islam also, a stepdad can never marry his step daughter, even if he divorces her mom or becomes a widow.  Same with stepmom and step son, and mother-in-law and father-in-law. 

In the Bible's polygamy, it is open.  I can marry the guy's mother, sister and daughter.  Stepdads, stepmoms, father and mother in laws can marry step children and children-in-law.  Mormon polygamists do exactly this.  Even their Prophet, Joseph Smith, married a mother and her daughter.  If this wasn't condoned in the Bible, they wouldn't dare to practice it.  I personally see this as another proof, from countless others [2] that the corrupt bible does not reflect the True Word of GOD Almighty.

Crooked Texts:

www.answering-christianity.com/predict.htm

Also, what agrees with the Glorious Quran, from Hadiths and non-Islamic texts, is closest to the Truth, but not absolute Truth like the Pure Holy Quran.  This is according to the Glorious Quran Itself:

www.answering-christianity.com/warning.htm

  
As Muslims, it is not our problem to sort out the non-Muslims' corrupted scriptures.  This is why Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, commanded us to neither say they are false nor true when they're used as evidence.  We always must say Allah Almighty alone knows what is True and what is false in them.  This is also why Allah Almighty Said this about the Glorious Quran:

[018:001]  Praise be to God, Who hath sent to His Servant the Book, and hath allowed therein no Crookedness:

[039:028]  (It is) a Quran in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard against Evil.

Only the Holy Quran is without crookedness and man-made lies.  All other scriptures are crooked.  Again, visit the above link.

Jesus' Original Name:

Prophet Jesus' original name was Eesa, as this is also his Islamic name.  Even in Latin, it is Iesu, and in Greek it is Iesus.  There is also a great deal of evidence that Jesus spoke and preached in Arabic.  Not only that, but Greek wasn't even that popular in Palestine.  Islam's claims are very strongly supported.  See proofs below.

Did early Christians preach Prophet Muhammad in Rome?

Did the early believers preach Prophet Muhammad in Corinth, Antioch, Rome and all other places?  Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, was the Jews' Messiah and final Prophet.  In both the Glorious Quran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ahmed was prophesied to come.  Ahmed in the Quran is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name.  Also, see below the Dead Sea Scroll image.  The New Testament too predicts the coming of three:

1.  Elijah.
2.  The Messiah.
3.  The Prophet.

John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44.  Click on the images to expand:
  
    

So did the early believers preach the coming of Prophet Ahmed or Muhammad?  The answer is quite possible, but Muhammad would've been phase 2 for them and not phase 1.  Jesus was the early believers' immediate Prophet, not Muhammad.  And all of the details that they had were about Jesus, not Muhammad.  It is also important to know that the following seven Roman Emperors have thoroughly burned all of the early believers' writings:

1.  Nero (54-68)
2.  Domitian (81-96)
3.  Marcus Aurelius (161-180)
4.  Septimius Severus (193-211; up to a point)
5.  Maximinius I Thrax (235-8; up to a point)
6.  Trajanus Decius (249-251)
7.  Valerian (253-260)

Read all the details with references here.

What we have today from "gospels" and "New Testament" were written 80 years to 300 years after Jesus' departure from this earth.  So, the current writings that we have are not original writings.  Also, to appease the Roman Empire's 3-headed pagan religion and practices, the pagan 3-headed trinity was invented [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].  Many lies had been fabricated after the original writings were all lost.  The Jews and Christians of Arabia, however, did have writings that predicted the coming of Prophet Muhammad.  These were some of the original texts that survived.

Why did Allah Almighty allow for the Muslims to eat from the "People of the Book's" (Jews and Christians) food?

Here is the short answer:

From https://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,3150.msg15747.html#msg15747:

Can anyone prove from bible that hazrat ismail (a.s.) was in Arab and Ibrahim (a.s.) was about to slaughter him?

Both the Bible and the Glorious Quran agree that:

1-  Ishmael's covenant was put on hold (pause) until the Jewish covenant comes to pass, and the latter generations come:

2-  Ishmael's name means the GOD finally heard the Prayer.  Ishmael's name is a great proof that he was the sacrificed son.  He was born after long decades of frustration and long waits.  He was born after a long time of decades of desperation.  Isaac would not have been that big of a deal relatively speaking, because Ishmael was already born, and the long horrid desperation was long gone.  And Ishmael at the time was his only son, and for a long time too.  Ishmael was 13 years older than Isaac.  Peace be upon them all.

The challenge wasn't just for Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty.  Any mere person can do this, even to pagan deities:

[006:137]  Even so, in the eyes of most of the pagans, their "partners" made alluring the slaughter of their children, in order to lead them to their own destruction, and cause confusion in their religion. If God had willed, they would not have done so: But leave alone them and their inventions.

While it was a test for Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty, but I believe it was also more of testing Abraham to give up what he longed for, and was desperate for, for many decades.  And it was also to honor Ishmael, the Prophet of Allah Almighty.  Peace be upon Abraham and his sons.

It matters not:

Let me make it absolutely clear that Islam does not stand and fall on:

(a)-  Whether Ishmael was the sacrificed-to-be son or not.
(b)-  Or whether Abraham and his children were Arabs or not.

None of this matters in Islam.  We are only presenting what the Glorious Quran confirms here.  If Isaac was the sacrificed son, then it wouldn't matter.  We still say Peace be upon all of Allah Almighty's Prophets and Messengers.  And Isaac was certainly one of them, and we love Isaac and revere him as much as Ishmael and all of Allah Almighty's Prophets.  Peace be upon them all.

And again, ethnicity has nearly no value in Islam:

[049:013] O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
