They would definitely disagree. They would say that Jesus never fulfilled the prophecies, and that Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism (and the secular perspective is similar to this). But again, what I said is just the Christian perspective. Islam has a different perspective: What I usually hear is that being that Judaism and Christianity are offshoot's of Islam. The prophets before Jesus taught Islam, and men corrupted their words and that turned into Judaism, and Jesus came and taught Islam, coming with the Gospel. and they tried to kill him, but God saved him, and everyone was decieved to believe he was crucified, which lead to Christianity, the corruption of the Gospel, and Paul the Apostle coming up, etc., and that Muhammad brought the restoration of what the prophets before him truly taught.

A Christian isn't going to agree with that, but it's what Muslims believe (Unless they don't believe that; If there's a Muslim here who wants to correct me, they can if they want to of course).

This is accurate/bolded

And before anyone freaks out ZOMG IZZLAM... islam means the submission to one god. And submission to one god has always been the message of all prophets. In a islamic perspective anyway.

It's good that you're saying that it is accurate. I don't want to be wrong when explaining someone else's beliefs.

But, submission to one God is a theme in all of the Abrahamic religions, but the sense of the oneness of God for Trinitarians is different than people who reject the Trinity. As someone who accepts the Trinity, I believe that God is one in the sense that a husband and wife are like (See Genesis 2:24), my evidence for that, being that the word translated as "One" is used to describe the oneness of the flesh of a husband and wife in Genesis 2:24, and the oneness of God in Deut. 6:4. But non-trinitarians mean "One" as in "One. God is one. Not plural in any sense. All singular."

But what I am mostly interested in is, why do you believe the Bible has been corrupted?
