Answer 1

What she says is true!! If the Bible was in its original form than We Muslims would be Christian. Sadly, The Bible has been burned like places in Ephesus, Turkey and Jerusalem and then rewritten over and over again. If you want proof, here is a website below:

Answer 2

Yes, it was originally written in Hebrew and translated badly. I once read a Muslim historian who said that around the fourth or fifth Caliph that there were Qu'rans written for everyday people but at this time of the fourth or fifth Caliph he had them all destroyed and rewrote the Qu'ran with some changes in the passages. Is this true do you think? I mean through out time things are going to be lost in the passing of time. I don't think everyone had spot on memories and more than one person did write at different stages. Especially since neither the Prophet Muhammed (Peace be Upon Him and All His Family) or the Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) could write.

Answer 3

This question comes up quite often in here. This is especially true of the followers of Islam. They claim that the Qur'an is the only religious text that is unadulterated. History and archeology have proven that is an incorrect assumption.

When the translators of the King James Bible wrote the Old Testament, the oldest available manuscript for them to use, was known as the Masoretic Text. This had been written in the 9th century A.D. It was this text that the translators based their work on the Old Testament. In 1947, a shepherd boy discovered some pottery in caves in the area called Qumran, near the Dead Sea. In these jars, he discovered scrolls, which archaeologists and Bible scholars have researched ever since. Every book of the Old Testament (except Esther) was discovered. Most of these scrolls are dated to 150 B.C. After comparing these Dead Sea Scrolls to the Masoretic Text, the scholars discovered an amazing degree of unanimity between the two, although they were written a thousand years apart. Further, the Septuagint (the Greek language translation of the Hebrew Bible) was also compared. With all of these references, there is plenty of evidence that no biblical doctrine has been tampered with.

Naturally, the next object of discussion is the New Testament. There is no larger ancient body of manuscript evidence in the history of mankind, than the papyri and parchment manuscripts of the New Testament. With over five thousand actual Greek manuscripts, and numerous other manuscripts in four other languages, there are about twenty-four thousand available manuscript texts for the New Testament.

Even if we didn't have these documents, we could almost have a complete New Testament from extra-biblical sources, such as ancient lectionaries, church fathers' records/sermons/writings, etc.

No other body of ancient work comes close. No one really disputes Julius Caesar's The Gallic Wars (10 manuscripts remain, with the earliest one dating to 1,000 years after the original autograph). No one really disputes Pliny the Younger's Natural History (7 manuscripts; 750 years elapsed). Or Thucydides' History (8 manuscripts; 1,300 years elapsed). No one disputes Herodotus' History (8 manuscripts; 1,350 years elapsed). No one really disputes Plato (7 manuscripts; 1,300 years elapsed). No one really disputes Tacitus' Annals (20 manuscripts; 1,000 years elapsed.) Homer's Iliad, the most renowned book of ancient Greece, is the second best-preserved literary work of all antiquity, with 643 copies of manuscript support discovered to date. In those copies, there are 764 disputed lines of text, as compared to 40 lines in all the New Testament manuscripts.

But we have ancient manuscripts of the New Testament that are written within a generation of Christ's resurrection, and people have the audacity to say it's been tampered with!

Answer 4

The Bible "originals" of course no longer exist ANd when older fragments are found they are studied to ensure the meanings are the same. The originals called "Q" are long since gone. The scholar seeks to get as close to the "Q" document as possible. As to the quaran I suggest you seek out translations from Egypt and Iran made prior to 1900 and will will find sveral dozen significant differences from the text used today. However, as with the Bible none of these differences in any way alters the basic precepts of either book.

Answer 5

Actually the variant readings of the qur'aan are variant ways of reciting to allow different tribes of arabs to recite. There are seven ways, shaikh muhammad musa nasr knows all seven masha'allah. The meaning is the same but the recitation is different. Sister i want to say that Allah says in the qur'aan to not insult the gods of the mushrikeen because you might incite them to insult Allah ta'ala, as many of them do. Insha'allah if you ask the question in a better way you can make some people see logic. But most of the people hate islam without knowing anything about it, they get their information from christian websites and don't bother to check it themselves so they spout rubbish and fabrication. Giving da'wah is hard with those people because they don't listen at all, you can't get past the first word without them shouting 'jesus is the lord'. Auudhu billah min as shaytaanir rajeem

Answer 6

Mere statement without fact...

There is no question over the wording of 98.5 percent of the Bible. Despite the centuries of copying the OT/NT Biblical manuscripts, only 1.5% contain any questions on content/wording (BTW: the NT is 99.5% accurate to original wording). No ancient writings of the entire world approach the accuracy of the Biblical documents.

That 1.5 percent does not affect any doctrinal beliefs. The vast majority of those variants consist mainly in variations of wording and spelling.

People can reject the Bible if they want, but they should at least have the intellectually honesty to admit that it is a very reliable document.

Answer 7

Yes I did, there are about 30 books mentioned in the bible that are not in it. for example the book of Jasher is mentioned twice in the Old Test. but is not a part of the Bible, it is available to read.
there have been many translations and changes in the bible and it is now incomplete. But what is important is the message that it gives. It is full of much of the things we need to know.
In the book of James Chap 1 verse 5 it says "If any of ye lack wisdom, let him ask of God. . . " I feel that this means if you need to understand something that you can not find or if you dont understand something in there you should ask of God. This includes the bible as it is written today.

Answer 8

even the koran was changed from its original form

why did Uthman feel the need to destroy other copies of the Qur'an, unless they contained variants? Why did Ibn Ma'sud refuse to hand over his copy for destruction? How do we know that 'Uthman's copy was better than any of the others?

Also there is evidence of change after Uthman and even the hadiths say the koran is incomplete--there are missing passages, varient readings, etc.

Answer 9

There is far more evidence that the Bible has remained uncorrupted throughout the centuries than you think:
There are manuscripts that were handcopied that have been found in Africa, Europe, and Asia with many different dates that confirm what we have today.
The Dead Sea Scrolls also confirm what we have in the Old Testament, and they are the Oldest MSS that we have for the Old Testament (And we discoverd these in the 1900's!)
Not only this, we have countless rabbais and Church Fathers who quoted extensively from both the Old And New Testaments. Their ancient writings ALSO cofirm that what we have is accurate.
Not to mention...We have various translations of those manuscripts that are ancient as well...even they confirm that what we have is accurate.

NOW...lets see...
Bible: One Anthology of 40 authors which subsribes to ONE CONSISTENT MESSAGE which has remained uncorrupted for thousands of years...
compared to...
Qu'ran: ONE book about the teachings of ONE man who changed his message several times throughout his lifetime (many scholars recognize that his first message was one of peace until he realized that no one was listening to him...then he changed it to one of warfare and peace). Muhammed claimed that the Bible was corrupted...and that HE was the only enlightened one who could lead us...sounds like a cult to me. Not even the Christian New Testament has the teachings of Jesus alone, but also the teachings of Jesus' apostles.
Muhammed's mother also reportedly claimed that she thought that her son was demon posessed, since he went into convulsions and foamed at the mouth from time to time.
This is, of course, not surprising, since Jesus said that "many false Christs and False Prophets would come." Also, Paul the Apostle said that if anyone else carried another message of spiritual truth...even if it were an angel from heaven...that person would be damned forever (Galatians 1).
But what do I know...I'm just quoting from a corrupt text with much more texutal support than the Qu'ran. The one person, Mohammed, knows better than all of the prophets in the entire Bible!

Answer 10

The Bible was originally written in Greek a generation or so after the death of Christ. Prior to that it was handed down by word of mouth. Similarly the Koran followed an oral tradition as Mohamed was illiterate. This means that both were open to change/misinterpretation

Answer 11

I'm sorry that that is your opinion. And it is an opinion. The only thing that has been done with the Holy Bible is that it was translated from Aramaic to Greek, and then translated into every language so that everyone could hear God's word, understand it and believe, and finally accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. But I'm glad to know that you have your opinion.
