Muslims will quote Quran 2:79 as a verse where the Koran says the canon of the Bible is corrupted, "Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: "This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!" My question is: If this verse refers to the corruption of the Bible, then why did Muhammad command Christians to follow the Bible they possessed in 600 AD in Quran 2:89; 7:157? And is this the only verse in the Koran that says the Bible is corrupt? (see also Quran 2:40-42,126,136,285; 3:3,71,93; 4:47,136; 5:47-51, 69,71-72; 6:91; 10:37,94; 21:7; 29:45,46; 35:31; 46:11)

We all love the smile of a child, right ? Yes we do!

We (my girlfriend and me) know a little girl, she's 10 years old and lives 12,000 miles away from us.
She just joined Yahoo!Answers, to answer a question we asked on here about us moving to the United States. She wants us to move to her state, to have us closer. Well, actually we promissed her a rabbit, and she just wants her rabbit :)

Anyway, i thought it would be nice to give the kid a smile when she wakes up tomorrow. I wanted to ask you all to click on my question linked below, and give her a "thumbs up" on her best answer. She'd wake up with a 100 extra points and a giant smile.
For those who do this: thanks a lot :)

the question:

(I know it's kinda silly, I know it's gaming for points, I know it means nothing in this world. But on the other hand: a kids smile means a lot)

Thanks!

For example at http://flushaholybook.com

You can choose any holy book and flush it. You can see the bible
is most popular to flush, even against the koran , torah and others.

Is it a sin, or just hilarious?

I'm trying to learn how to say "cat" in as many languages as possible. I already know GATTO (Italian), GATO (Spanish), CHAT (French), KATZE (German), and KOT (Russian). If your native language isn't any of the above, could you help me please? Or if you speak a second language that is different from those listed above... Please, don't forget to let me know which language it is!!!

If you give me the phonetic transcription as well, so that I can pronounce it correctly, I'll give you best answer ;-)

Thanks!

In all probablity he was homosexual since Jewish men of his time married. Yet, no one ever even speaks of Jesus' girlfriend. Why don't Christians talk about it? Was his homosexuality a fact not allowed into the bible?

It's a strange thing. Whenever Americans ask me what I think of something American, and I happen to have to answer truthfully that the object in question (sometimes their own country) does have its flaws, they just blow their lids. What's the reason for this attitude? Isn't it much more interesting and helpful to hear about weaknesses, so that they can be fixed, to help make America better still? Oh, and do trust me - I am being most diplomatic when I make these remarks.
