Question:

Asssalamu alaikum. My wife is a Christian and she is currently exploring both Islam and Christianity.

1. She asked how is it possible for Paul to write that well, obviously with some flaws in the Bible, after our prophet Isiah (Jesus {peace and blessing be upon him}) departure many hundred years later? I know he cooperated with King Constantine and gave in to his demand for one Bible. Are his eleven Apostles right and correctly written in the Bible. Are David’s psalms correct?
2. Second, Did RasulUllah [saws, peace and blessing be upon him] have access to a Bible in anyway?
3. Third, How come Matthew, Mark and others are so similar?
4. Fourth, was Paul really inspired by Jesus [peace and blessing be upon him] to jot down all his statements in the Bible. How did he come to know so much of what to say in the Bible?
