1John Chrysostom’s accusation of the Jews of distorting the prophecies = the possibility and permissibility of distorting the word of God

refutes the claim of the Christians and their strange question: “Is it possible to distort the word of God?” Is God unable to protect His book? “Tell that to your fathers.”

2John Chrysostom’s statement about the loss of the books of God’s revelation = The possibility and transcendence of the loss of God’s words.

This refutes the Christians’ claim that Muslims accuse God of impotence when they say that the original Torah and Gospel were lost, distorted, deleted, or obliterated.

3Chrysostom’s accusation of the Jews of distorting prophecies = The possibility of humans distorting God’s words

= The possibility of distorting the prophecies about Jesus and “Muhammad.” This refutes the Christians’ question “Where can I find Muhammad in the Torah and Gospel?” = He is present with his good news and description in the lost books…

4How can you say, O Muslim, that the Holy Bible is distorted? Who distorted it, when did they distort it, why did they distort it, and how did they distort it?

The answer is in the words of your father Chrysostom. The first accused of distortion are the Jews. They distorted it to obliterate prophecies that establish evidence against them for their disbelief in the coming prophet.

5This refutes the Christians’ claim that distortion is impossible because the Old Testament was preserved by the Jews and received from them by the Christians

. The fathers accused—not only Chrysostom—the Jews. By distorting the Old Testament

, and the Jews accused the Christians of distorting the book.

Tryphon said, “God alone knows whether our teachers have deleted parts of the Bible as you say.”

He replied, “It seems that you have not heard of the holy books that you have deleted.

John Chrysostom, D. 440 AD

That what the prophets said might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.

If you ask, ‘Which prophet said this?’ I say to you, ‘Do not search or investigate, for many books of the prophets have perished and vanished.’ What I have mentioned is known to those who know how to describe the books that remain of the chronicles of the kings of the Jews, for they were persistent in their heresy, so

they left some books to perish and be destroyed, and burned others and cut them up

. One of these two types is related by the prophet Jeremiah,

and the second type is mentioned by the author of the fourth book of the chronicles of their kings, saying that after a long time, the second book of the law was found burned and destroyed. If there was no foreigner in their country to take possession of it, they rejected their books and changed them in this way and destroyed them. It was fitting for them, when the foreigners came to them, that they neglected and rejected them.” Another
