In Islam, it is an article of faith to believe that Allah (God) gave His prophets Moses ﷺ and Jesus ﷺ revelations. The Quran teaches that Allah gave Jesus ﷺ the Injeel (known as the Gospel) and gave Moses ﷺ the Torah (known as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). When it comes to the Injeel , there is no historical evidence that Jesus ﷺ received a document.
Allah in the Quran says that the Torah and Injeel are not what God gave to Moses ﷺ and Jesus ﷺ, since human hands altered and corrupted the text.
Allah says in the Quran 7:79 (Interpretation of the Meaning)
Therefore, woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby.
Throughout history, some Muslims and Bible scholars who studied the Bible started criticizing the Bible. We will find those Muslims and Bible scholars on YouTube debating the accuracy of the Bible with priests who deny the inaccuracy of the Bible.
I spent time studying the Bible to find it filled with errors, contradictions, and many false prophecies.
To read some of these errors, contradictions, and false prophecies:

Click Q1. Is the Bible the word of God? link
We must agree that God does not inspire wrong information. Paul mentioned in his writing that the whole Bible is the inspired word of God, as we read in 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 16: 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.
If you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, as Paul wrote, then you must refute all the errors, contradictions, and false prophecies found in the Bible. If you ignored this message and kept believing the Bible is the word of God, then be prepared for a saving from hell answer if God asks you: "Why did you insult me by believing I gave wrong information?"
Muslim Apologists
Muslim apologists started appearing on the scene. Apologists, such as Ahmed Deedat and Zaker Naik, were able to criticize the Bible and prove its inaccuracy. Both of these two apologists memorized much of the Bible and excelled in connecting all related verses in a way priests find hard to do. Both of them excelled at pointing out verses that contained scientific errors, contradictions, and false prophecies. Both of them were able to prove the Bible is not the inspired word of God. Both of them, through their seminars and debates, were successful at leading many Christians to convert to Islam.
Ahmed Deedat
Ahmed Deedat (1918–2005) was one of the most influential Muslim missionaries and polemicists of the twentieth century. Ahmed Deedat,
a self-taught Muslim scholar from South Africa, became well known for his public debates with Christian evangelists.
Deedat first spoke on February 19, 1979, at the Durban City Hall on "Which is God’s Word - The Quran or the Bible?"
Ahmed Deedat, in June 1984, wrote inviting Pope John Paul II to a dialogue. The secretariat of the Pope replied that the Pope was
agreeable, but there was no further response from the Pope or his secretariat.
Ahmed Deedat debated with several high-profile televangelists. This included:
The Reverend Jimmy Swaggart on the topic "Is the Bible God's word?" Debated in March 1986 at the University of Louisiana.
Pastor Stanley Sjoberg on the topic "Is Jesus ﷺ God?"
Dr. Anis Shorrosh on the topic "Is the Bible God's word?"
Dr. Floyd E. Clark, a theology professor on the topic "Was Christ Crucified?"
Zakir Naik
Zakir Naik attended St. Peter's School, a coeducational Catholic parochial school in Mumbai. He studied medicine at Topiwala National Medical College
and Nair Hospital in his native city. He then received his MBBS degree from the University of Mumbai. In 1991, he started working in the
field of calling others to Islam. Naik says he was inspired by Ahmed Deedat, who was active in the field of calling others to Islam for more than 40
years.
Naik has held many debates and lectures and is said to have delivered over 4000 lectures worldwide as of 2016.
Uthman Ibn Farooq Yusufzai
"Uthman Ibn Farooq Yusufzai, commonly known as Sheikh Uthman, is an American preacher. He is best known for his work with the One Message Foundation (OMF), a platform aimed at inviting people to Islam through interfaith dialogue and public outreach.
Uthman gained widespread recognition for his street dawah (preaching) efforts in Balboa Park, San Diego, where he engages in religious discussions and debates, primarily with Christians and atheists. His videos on YouTube have garnered millions of views, making him a key figure in modern Islamic outreach efforts in the West." Wikipedia, Sheikh Uthman

Bible Scholars Who Have Criticized The Bible
AUDIO COMING SOON
Some Christian scholars, after studying the Bible and finding the many errors and contradictions in it as the divine inspiration of God. Such scholars include the following:
Thomas Hobbes, Benedict Spinoza, and Richard Simon
In the Enlightenment era, these philosophers and theologians began to question the idea that Moses ﷺ wrote the first five books of the Bible. In particular, the name of Moses ﷺ was mentioned using the third person, and the death and burial of Moses ﷺ are mentioned in these five books. These two pieces of evidence, in addition to the errors and contradictions found in these five books, can not be the word God gave to Moses ﷺ.
Humanists
Humanists reject the idea that the Bible is the word of God and believe that it was written by humans in a cruel, ignorant, and
superstitious age.
Michael Licona
Licona raised questions about the literal interpretation of the resurrection of the saints in Matthew 27:51-53. Scholars like Norman
Geisler accused Licona of denying the Bible's inerrancy. Licona resigned from his position as a research professor of New Testament at Southern Evangelical Seminary.
Bart D. Ehrman
Bart D. Ehrman is a distinguished professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a graduate of Wheaton College (Illinois). Professor Ehrman received both his Masters of Divinity and Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary. He is an American New Testament scholar focusing on textual criticism of the New Testament, the historical Jesus ﷺ, and the origins and development of early Christianity. He has written and edited 30 books, including three college textbooks.
Christian apologists were in a dilemma when Bart Ehrman started criticizing the New Testament, proving the very critical facts:
(1) The authors of the New Testament are not Jesus ﷺ' disciples.
(2) The New Testament contains hundreds of contradictions.
One of his distinguished lectures, "Misquoting Jesus ﷺ in the Bible," was uploaded to YouTube and is one of the strongest
criticisms of the Bible's authenticity.
The Bible contradictions highlighted by this Bible scholar were also pointed out by Ahmed Deedat and Zaker Naik, along with their mentioning of many scientific errors and false prophecies in the Bible in their public lectures and debates.
I strongly advise Christians to see "Misquoting Jesus ﷺ in the Bible."
Search Youtube for "Misquoting Jesus ﷺ in the Bible," to see this great scholar telling you the truth about the Bible.
