Something that isnt always conveyed clearly is how the Islam defines "other revelations" - We do beleive that Moses and Jesus received revealtions in the form of a book - as the Quran was revealed to Muhamed - however, this does not mean that the Torah today and the Bible today are those revealations - we concede that there may be parts of those books which are divine knowledge, but they have been cluttered and mixed with man made revealtions - so we dont know which is divine and which is not unless we compare it to the Quran - so if a passage in the bible agrees with the Quran - we can say that its divine - if it doesnt, we can only speculate on its origins. I think with the Christians we have to make it clear from the beginning that the 'Injeel' revealed to 'Isa (Alayhi Salaam) does not even have a connection with the books of the New Testament at all, except for passing references to "Jesus preached the Gospel". With respect to the Bible in general, we can only say that those portions which are not blasphemous may have a divine origin, but we cannot even say that they are word-for-word of divine origin either, since there is no chain of transmission, the original books were lost and recovered, lost again and so forth.
