🏵️🏵️ From an Islamic perspective, the Quran emphasizes the importance of divine revelation and the integrity of scriptures. It is stated in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:2), "This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah." This highlights that while the Gospels may hold significance in Christian belief, they are not viewed as unaltered divine texts within Islam. Additionally, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to respect the messages of previous prophets, but also to understand that the final revelation, the Quran, is the ultimate guide for humanity.

Russell, your exploration of gospel authorship raises important questions, yet it must be noted that Muslims hold that alterations and human influence on the texts are significant. Thank you, Russell, for your thought-provoking insights.

When considering spiritual texts, how do we discern the divine from human interpretation?
