How do you know that the Bible is the Word of God?

"How do you know the Bible is the Word of God?" 
This was asked by a Muslim.
Muslims sometimes think the Bible has the same status in Christianity as the Quran does in Islam.
Really, if you think about it, there were Christians before there was any Bible.
The central point about Christianity is that Jesus rose from the dead.
Paul tells us that when he came to the Corinthians, he came with a short creed about Jesus that he received from Peter when he visited Jerusalem.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received,

• that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,  
• and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
• and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
• After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time,

most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;  

• then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and

last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.  Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
(1 Cor 15)

Why else would Paul mention that most of the five hundred are still alive unless as a challenge to the Corinthians to investigate his claims if they did not believe him?

Therefore Christianity was verifiable to the earliest Christians, and that is why they believed--more so than from the Bible being the Word of God.

All this is really better explained in this video.

William Lane Craig on Evidence for the Resurrection

Uthman's Quran and the Zionist conspiracy to control Islam

Scholars are starting to question whether or not Mohammed really wrote the Quran.
According to the Hadiths, the Quran was written down on whatever was available when the revelations came, such as rocks, sheep skin and palm leaves.  The Quran was actually not compiled during Mohammed's lifetime.  This is evidenced by the fact that it is not in any sort of chronological order.

Muslims do get upset when someone burns copies of the Quran nowadays.  However, it is well known that Uthman, who is credited for compiling the Quran, was also the first Quran burner, for the stated reason of trying to unify the various readings of the Quran in his time.  What is less well known is that he was a Zionist conspirator. 

Evidence for this includes that Uthman had a long nose and black hair, plus his name follows the characteristic Jewish pattern for last names, ending in "man".

When you speak against Islam, does that mean you hate Muslims?

When you warn someone, you do so out of concern.
This is not hatred.

Are you an Islam-o-phobe?

A phobia is an irrational fear.

What did Thomas mean when he said "My Lord and My God?" in John 20:28

Some people will want to talk about whether or not "My God" is an exclamation of surprise.
The trick here is not to discuss the meaning of the words used, but to point out that in context, Thomas is talking to Jesus who came back from the dead.

This means that all the so-called "blasphemous" statements that Jesus made are vindicated.  Anyone can make blasphemous statements but not everyone can present themselves as risen from the dead afterwards.

For example here is one such statement from Mark 2:

Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
⁶ But some of the scribes were sitting there, thinking to themselves: ⁷ “Why does He speak like this? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
⁸ Right away Jesus understood in His spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? ⁹ Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’? ¹⁰ But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He told the paralytic, ¹¹ “I tell you: get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

Why do Christians Sing in their Church Services? +

There is a belief in some Muslim circles that music is sinful.

Why do Christians sing in their church services? First, the book of Psalms shows that singing was part of the Jewish tradition.  There are 150 psalms in the Bible.

  Sing Joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
--Psalms 331

Jesus was also recorded to have sung.  On the day he was betrayed, it is written:

After singing psalms, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
--Mark 14:26

What about musical instruments?

The fourth psalm starts with this heading:

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.

There are many other similar directives to use musical instruments like this one in Psalms.

Is Allah like is Creation?

I have heard it said that Allah is nothing like his creation.  We are like bacteria in comparison to Allah.

This is useful to say if your religion explicitly teaches against that God did clothed himself in a body and lived among us.
They argue like this: "Allah is so high above us, it is like an ant trying to reason with a human being".

But the fact of the matter is that we as humans enjoy having relationships with lower beings, say for example, dogs, because we do have common ground between us. 

However, we do not normally keep ants as pets.  Ants do not know or care about people.  There is nothing to fellowship with. 

Nor do we get any satisfaction from programming a computer to act like it is worshipping us.  There is no doubt a cell phone app for everything, but I have yet to see one like this.

So I say that the fact that God expect us to worship him must mean we are on a similar plane of existence.

Let me give another example:  When people engage in a competitive sport, like for example Chess, they always seek out somewhat equally matched opponents.  It is of no interest to beat an opponent in 3 moves or is there any satisfaction in an easy win.

Is Islam a Religion of Peace? Does Islam promote Women's Rights?

I wanted to comment on these assertions generally. 

Observe they are both positive assertions.  By this I mean they put the burden on the person making the statement.  If someone wants to make this point, they have to show that Islam is not neutral on Women's rights, but positively promotes women's rights.
