As'salamu Alaikum brother TheEyeofGod,
Welcome to the blog. I ask Allah Almighty that He will continue to lead you to the Right Path and Truth and Light of Islam. Ameen. The following points thoroughly refute your points above, and prove that without Islam to validate it, the Bible isn't reliable at all. The following points are from:

www.answering-christianity.com/ac.htm#capsule1- The Disciples were in conflict with each others. Examples:- Sacrificed food to idols: Is it allowed or not to be eaten?
- The 12th diciples was chosen by a game of chance, not by the Holy Spirit. And there were disputes over him.
- Paul was called a false prophet.
- Peter was called "clearly in the wrong".
- Circumcision: Was it mandatory or not?
- Paul and Barnabas and Mark were one team against the other disciples. The other side was lead by Peter and others.
- Yet, when the disciples asked Jesus if the Holy Spirit, that he promised to send them after him,
if It will speak in riddles and parables like he used to speak to them, and confuse them, Jesus assured them that the Holy Spirit:
- Will speak very clearly and straight to them.
- Will guide them all the way.
- They must fully rely on it.- Yet, we see all of these conflicts and disputes and confusions among them. So where was the Holy Spirit from all of these conflicts??
- And these are unsettled issues in the Bible till this day!
They are open debates that are unsettled in the Bible.
- Paul wanted to be a ruling dictator.
- He wanted to kill those whom he disagreed with.
- He wanted to be the ruling authority that makes judgment about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment.
2- Furthermore, the disciples books and epistles are not agreed upon:- There are epistles and books in the names of John, Paul, Peter and others that are excluded from the Bible.
- Jesus' Teachings books, such as the Gospel of Jesus and the Didache and other books are excluded from the Bible, because they refute trinity.
- Jesus' family's accounts are excluded from the Bible.
-
What do Christians know about Jesus? Jesus supposedly lived for 33 years on earth.
- He lived the first 5 or so in Palestine, then fled to Egypt with his Mother and Joseph because king Herod wanted to kill him. No historical account of this story by the way is found anywhere outside the Bible.
- Jesus returned to Palestine in his late 20s, perhaps even at the age of 30.
- Jesus lived the overwhelming majority of his earthly life in Egypt, and yet, not a single account about him in that land. What was he doing there? Did he work? Was he a carpenter?
3- Furthermore, Jesus the human fell into satan's temptation for 40 days and 40 nights, and was dying in his coveting of the worldly desires:- The Bible says that those who are tempted have "evil desires" in them.
- The Bible says that Jesus fell spiritually so weak that GOD Almighty had to send down Angels "to attend him", because he was getting spiritually weaker and weaker.
- Satan had Jesus climb on the top of the temple (a big fortress at that time), and look like he was about to commit suicide in front of all of the people in Jerusalem.
- Jesus had so much worldly desires during his 40 days and 40 nights temptations that they most certainly were coveting of the world.
- Yet, coveting is forbidden in the Bible's Old and New Testaments.
- Jesus himself said that if you even sin in your mind, then you have already physically sinned:
- If you even think of a woman in your head lustfully, then you have already committed adultery with her.
- Yet, Jesus coveted the world and he did those exact mental sins from lusting, to greed to rule the world, and others.
- Also, did Jesus the male who lived 33 years on earth ever masturbate?
- He was a human, who ate and peed (urinated) and pooped (took dumps).
- He was a human who felt hungry and weak and in need.
- Also, when Jesus was a baby, was he dumb? Meaning, was he unable to speak as all of our babies initially are? Did he need to be taught the language by his Mother?
- He did work as a carpenter. This means he had to learn the skill first from his step father, Joseph.
- Also, when Jesus was a baby, did he have to learn how to walk? Was he ever discplined as a child?
- Did Jesus' mother ever believe that he was her creator??
- Did Jesus' immediate family from siblings and mom and step dad ever believe he was their Creator??
- Their writings are excluded from the Bible, because they all don't talk about trinity at all. Their books invalidate it entirely.
4- Jesus according to the Bible never got crucified:- Isaiah 53 speaks about him being condemned because of the sins of the Jews.
- Isaiah 53 says he will be jailed (not killed) because of the sins and lies of the Jews.
- Isaiah 53 say she will be sentenced to death, but his life will be prolonged (extended). He won't die.
- Palm 91 and 116 and 118 clearly speak about Christ will be lifted by the Angels and no harm will ever touch him from the crucifixion.
- Psalm 91 was directly referenced in the New Testament by Jesus and satan during their conversation.
- The New Testament speaks about the story of Jesus' alleged crucifixion and confirms that he was never crucified:
- He never died, and he even showed his original body to the disciples and the doubting Thomas.
- He was put in a tomb, not a grave underground, and laid there for a couple of days (less than 3 days) and received medical treatment by Mary Magdalene and other women.
- After he healed, he got up and left the tomb.
- He's always been alive in it.
5- Prophet Muhammad was clearly and thoroughly prophesied in the Bible: - The Old Testament references in Isaiah 41 and 42 and in many other books throughout the Old Testament about the Arabian Prophet who will come:
- From the lands of Kedar and Teman. Those today are located in central Arabia.
- From the bloodline of Kedar. Kedar was one of Ishmael's sons, in the book of Genesis.
- The Prophet will bring the Message to mankind.
- The Jews ("the House of Jacob") must not reject him, nor fear him. This is a direct order for them by GOD Almighty in the Bible.
- He will smash the idols of Arabia.
- He will put Arabia to the sword.
-
"The burden is upon Arabia." This verse is interpreted in the Bible as a Divine Message or Task was put upon Arabia. Burden in the Bible means a Divine Task from GOD Almighty, usually a monumental one.
- Prophet Muhammad's Prophetic Name,
Ahmed, was found in ITS EXACT FORM IN THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS in their Isaiah 42. Meaning, the Dead Sea Scroll's Isaiah 42 book. Ahmed or AHMAD was mentioned by the name there. And in the Bible's Isaiah 42, we see GOD Almighty speaking about His Servant who will come from Arabia, and the land of Kedar.
- He will be given the "Book". This is the Glorious Quran.
- He will initially be told to read It, and he won't be able to. The Bible foretold it, and this is exactly documented on Prophet Muhammad's first reception of the Revelations in our Islamic Texts.
So to put it all together, your faith is false and man-made. Islam is the Divine Truth. Again, visit:
