Centuries old bible 'mean Christianity's downfall'

Iran claims a recently discovered, centuries old bible will prove once and for all that Islam is the one true religion.

The bible, confiscated from smugglers by Turkish authorities in 2000 is believed to come from the fifth century and is made from animal hide.
Experts believe it may be a copy of the Gospel as written by Jesus' disciple Barnabas, but Iranian state press claims it is much more than that.

Basij Press in Iran says the bible contains information that will trigger Christianity's downfall, and prove Islam as the superior religion.

Basij Press has quoted this version of the bible as saying "God has hidden himself as Archangel Michael ran them (Adam and Eve) out of heaven, (and) when Adam turned, he noticed that at top of the gateway to heaven, it was written "La elah ela Allah, Mohamad rasool Allah,"' meaning Allah is the only God and Mohammad his prophet.
Iranian state press went on to report the bible saying that Jesus never died on the cross, and that he himself predicted Mohammed's coming.
The book was found by authorities on 2000 during a crackdown on antiques smugglers, but excitement has recently been generated by claims The Vatican wants to get its hands on the book.
In February it was claimed The Vatican had made an official request to view the book, which is thought to still lie in a Turkish museum.
While most experts have rubbished Iran's claims, the Islamic nation is adamant the book means the downfall of Christianity.
"The most significant fact, though, is that this Bible has predicted the coming of Prophet Mohammad and in itself has verified the religion of Islam," state television claims.

Oh yes....I believe everything that comes out of Iran, especially when they speak against our God.

I mean come on....this part doesn't even sound like God's personality, and it contradicts all the rest of the Bible. Sheesh. These people are something.

Exactly! Of course they're going to try to discredit the truth to benefit their own beliefs.

Precisely! Cause that's all the devil CAN do.

Are you saying non believers are related to the devil?

This "Bible" doesn't strike me as something that could be very reliable...

Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Then He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." (John 8:32,34)
If whatever the moslems are offering can free me from committing sin, I will believe it. However, the bible truths have freed me from committing sin, so I will stay with it.

The Moslem religion did not come into existence until 600ad, in other words when Jesus walked this earth there was no such thing as Muslims and would not be for the following 600 years. Therefore no Apostle that knew Christ personally would have any chance of even knowing what a Muslim was.

Back then Allah was still the pagan god known as Sin being worshipped in Egypt

Originally known as Suen and often referred to as Haran because of the double meaning of his name. However is also known as the Moon God Sin and later was to become Allah of Islam.

Eze 30:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain,

Archaeologists have uncovered temples to the Moon-god throughout the Middle East. From the mountains of Turkey to the banks of the Nile, the most wide-spread religion of the ancient world was the worship of the Moon-god. His symbol was the crescent moon. The Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Akkadians took the word Suen and transformed it into the word Sin as their favorite name for the Moon-god.

Sin (Akkadian: Su'en, Sîn) or Nanna (Sumerian: DŠEŠ.KI, DNANNA) was the god of the moon in Mesopotamian mythology. Nanna is a Sumerian deity, the son of Enlil and Ninlil, and became identified with Semitic Sin. The two chief seats of Nanna's/Sin's worship were Ur in the south of Mesopotamia and Harran in the north.

What happened was Mohamed needed to find one pagan deity that he could use to unify the tribes with so he scrapped all the other idols and just kept this one. Renamed him Allah and then put together a book to counter the scriptures. At the time Christianity was already well established and spreading.

If muslim really had this item it would not have taken twelve years for them to even mention it.

I don't know much about what's coming out of Iran, but I know what I'd like to put in there....about two divisions.

No: 4 divisions, with a full compliment of air support and sea forces.

Are you saying non believers are related to the devil?

Yes, they are. You are either with God (a Christian) or His enemy (a non-Christian). I will go one step further, and also say that if you are against God, and His enemy, you will be going to hell when you die. No 77 virgins, no rebirth as a tree, or antelope, no being reborn to relive your life here on earth again. Hell: eternal separation from the only true, loving God. Because, in the end, we will be answering to Him.

I couldn't help but think, had you substituted the OP's name, exiledchristian for 'OP', it would have been almost humorous. Well, maybe only to me.

I just have to LOL about this topic. It's the same people who say that "There were never Jews in Israel" (even though the archeological record is beyond doubt) and "There was never a temple in Jerusalem" (even though the walls are there for all to see) and even "The Holocaust never happened" (even though he have survivors and convicted men who carried it out).

The truth may be freely cast aside is it helps support their beliefs.

[Saved7]

I know Fenris, that was what I was thinking too.
