The biblical account of Jewish religion and a later day account of Christian
religion are narrated in the Bible. Historical account is given right from the beginning
of the universe from Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, to Lut, to Ismail, to Issac, to Jacob,
to Joseph, to Job, to Moses, to Aron, to Saul, to Ezekiel, to David, to Solomon, to
Isaiah, to Elisha, to Jonah, to Zakariah, to John the Baptist and finally ending up with
the account of ‘Isa. (Peace be upon all of them). All these messengers of God are
venerable and are respected by Muslims as much as they respect their own prophet-
Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
The historicity of all the messengers of GOD who are mentioned in the Bible is
beyond question but it is the manner in which their accounts and their teachings are
narrated by human writers that are questionable. They are full of errors, contradictions,
improbabilities and incompatibilities when they are measured with the yardstick of
modern scientific knowledge. With every successive edition of Bible, the Bible
continues to be revised and distorted. A lot of human element has gone in the Bible
composition.
