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.
True, One piece of evidence of this is that every christian docterine that we Muslims find blasphemous comes not from the mouth of Jesus , but from the mouth of an anonymous person saying they heard Jesus say such and such or saw a vision, post ascension, where jesus revealed to them such and such. - even the Lamb of God idea came not from Jesus in his lifetime, but from a vision of jesus post ascension.

This is the crux of where christianity and Islam butt heads - every aspect of christian aqeedah is based on evidence Muslims would reject in our own religion - there is no example of one of the Sahabah seeing a vision of Rasoolullah after his lifetime, and deriving a juristic ruling from such a vision. Even the Bible itself would be considered da'if or even fabricated if scrutinized by our scholars.
