The Quranic proposition is logically impossible. It cannot be the Word of God.
Let's state it mathematically:
X = God's Word
A = the Old Testament
B = the New Testament
C= the Quran
The Christian position is valid: X= A + B
where: B builds upon the foundation of A via progressive revelation and B is in perfect agreement with A.
The theoretical position of the Quran is also valid as stated in verses like Surah 3:3:
He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.
where: X = A + B + C
where: C builds upon the foundation of B and A via progressive revelation and C is in perfect agreement with B and A.
However, even a cursory examination of the Quran yields the following equation:
A + B ≠ C
The Quran does not agree with the Bible.
thus since X = A + B is valid then one can only conclude that C ≠ X
In summary, if the Quran is God's word then it must be able to be harmonized with the Bible, and since it cannot be, it cannot be God's Word.
