So the next time you Muslims cry about all the different versions of the Bible, remember this list before you open those holes under your noses

none them, they are all false teachings. they are lies covering up lies covering up lies. that is why there are so many. The holy bible has different versions but they all mean the same thing. Every verse, line for line means exactly the same thing in every version. The Bible is correct. The Koran is a false representation of the Bible.

The Quran, like the old testament can be very difficult book to comprehend. Even Arabic scholars differ on the meaning of some verses of the true Arabic Quran; translating to English is much worse. However, there is only one Quran...no different versions. If different authors wish to write their own thing, remember, it's not the Quran. The Quran is a mystery in its native arabic setting and should be left that way.

Its not the different version, the word in Arabic is still same, just the different is when they try to translate it into other language. Word in Arabic in Qur'an is like a poem, you can not understand it if you just read the translation.
Qur'an is not like a bible, where bible are readily have a version by version during the day. Qur'an what ever in a thousand year later again its still the same.
And until now I stil want to find in what version of bible Jesus claim that he is a God, or son of God. Pm me if you find.

The diverse # of translations is exactly why it is suggested that you learn Arabic to fully exeperience Islam. There is only ONE Arabic version.

what u are talking is the translations of the QURAN. its not different versions but translations ....do u know that we do not accept translations as the QURAN ..... coz sometimes words have few meaning the QURAN that"s in ARABIC is the one & only QURAN...Sometimes words have few meaning......so its not surprising that people translate it differently ......

Those are translations, not the actual Qur'an itself. There is only one Qur'an, it is in Arabic and hasn't changed.

so, is this a question? ask your religious leader which is best, or learn Arabic.
