But the Bible was written by men but inspired by God.
Moses, David, Solomon, Matthew, Mark, Luke , John among 33 others wrote the books and letters that make the bible.
Their knowledge come from personal experience in working with their creator God.
Why do you put limits on God? If God purposed the collection of books to remain accurate and candid do you think mere men can thwart his efforts?

Don't you have that backwards?
We have a long and extensive paleographical history that demonstrate that over a thousand years for the New Testament there was only a 10% shift in the text, nothing important was changed, and the errors were mostly spelling mistakes.
The Old Testament has similar numbers, comparing the Dead Sea Scrolls with what else we have.
The Koran has no such history. It's early copies were deliberately destroyed in order to hide changes written into the text to make it more militant and thus support Arab wars in the name of religion.
Just look at the effect the Bible and the Koran have had in their respective cultures.
In the West, we have peace, prosperity, human rights, civil liberties, tolerance and free speech.
In Muslim countries you find terrorism, violence for the sake of religion, no tolerance for other ethnic groups (just ask the Kurds) no rights, no liberty and just you dare to say anything that disagrees with the establishment! You would be killed for speaking freely.
The world would be better off without such nonsensical hateful rubbish as the Koran. Mohammad if he ever did exist was a liar, a child molester, and a psychotic killer. The Koran breeds more of the same.

Go to any Theology class and you will very quickly find out the answer to this question. It would be too much to put down here. The bible was not tampered with. In those days remember there was no real written word. It was only as the disciples began to die, and the same with those who had kown them, did it become important to write it down. Remember the Koran came a lot later. The early Christians had to decide what was appropriate for the bible and what was not. They were in different locations so they had different slants. Many early church councils decided on what was appropriate and what was not. Read up on some of the early Church Doctors. Unfortunately, many people do not know the truth about their own faith, but seem to be only able to see the good in another set of beliefs.

I have never even seen much less read the Koran Bible, the KJV Holy Bible is what I read, The reason I Believe In this Bible is because the things you say men wrote, and tampered with, and have rewritten, Is being fulfilled, Why would anyone believe in something, that does not prove itself to be true, after all these years of being written, and that MANY MANY years, the things The word of God,the Bible says will happen, Is happening, and the things that the Bible says did happen, is being proven in our time , that they indeed did happen, In my Bible it talks about moses walking people through the Red Sea, on dry land, now In my time somehow they have proved, that their was a great wind, I believe is the words they said, did make the waters part. lol they believe they have found pieces of the Ark, Noah built, and also found a schroud, with the shape of a man on it, they are trying to prove wasen`t, or was Jesus, I Believe it was Jesus. the Bible talks about people who will always be starving, and why they are starving, and if you look in the world the same country, God said would be starving, after Many MANY years ,this same country is still starving, the countries in the world have come a long ways in their riches, but this country is still in the same sad shape that was told it would be in and that country is Etheopia.

Tampering? Interesting.
Your statement reveals an utter ignorance of the existence and meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Hear of them? Know anything about them?
Ah, you see, they were written copies of some of the earlier books in the Bible that were 1,000 yeaers older than any known to be in existence.
And guess what? No difference between them and the ones dated a 1,000 years later.
Now what does that tell us? That no drift was occuring over time, either intentional or by accident.
Please deal with facts and not emotional rhetoric.
And the god of the Koran is NOT the God of the Bible.

There are more errors in your question than any benevolent God would tolerate!
Many people may have "tampered" with the Bible but at least Christians are not now tampering with the Bible to the extent that the Koran is being twisted into an authority which sanctions death and destruction.
Think about it!

We can compare our texts today back to original manuscripts, so we can be sure of their accuracy. The people who copied writings were called scribes, and their job was to copy it letter for letter, so there are very few, if any, errors in the Bible. It is the word of God.
Why you assume that the Bible has been tampered with and the Koran hasn't, I don't know. The Koran isn't from God, it's from Muhammad, a man. Islam doesn't provide any way for removing sin. They say you have to get in God's favor by doing good things. However, you can't purify gold simply by adding gold, you have to refine out the impurities. Jesus is the refiner, we have to go to Him to get our sins removed.

The bible was interpreted, not tampered with. Everyone knows that, of course, it is hard to get a 100% accurate translation, but that does not we should disregard it.
I do not believe the Koran was written by God. God did not write anything.

You say the Bible is tampered with but do not provide proof. There is no proof of tampering so that's a lie.
The Koran is not the word of any god. It's the conflicted musings of a murdering rapist.

Someone really screwed your brain in backwards. You have so much wrong in your head-I don't know if it can be fixed. Bless your heart. Every thing you said is wrong. Are you serious-or are you trying to start a fight? If you really believe what you just posted, then everything you think you know is a lie. There is too much recorded in the history books for anyone to truly believe what you just said. You have a lot of study ahead of you -if you want a real life. I will pray for you-
