persons who told the persons that told you the Bible is flawless... and so on. Well... All is God and God is all... so all is perfect I guess.

If the Bible really is from God, we should expect it to be the most outstanding book ever written. Is it? Yes, and for many reasons. First, it is very old; you would not expect God's Word to all mankind to have been written a short time ago,would you? The writing of it began some3,500 years agoin the Hebrew Language. Then over 2.200 years ago, it began to be translated into other languages. Today almost everybody on earth can reado no other book comes close to the Bible in the number of copies are produced. Yet yet every year many millions of Bibles are printed. And over the centuries thousands of millions have been made! There is hardly a place on earth, regardless of how isolatedit may be, where you cannot find a Bible. Is this not what you would expect of a book that is really from God?
What makes this great distributionof the Bible even more outstanding is the fact that enemies have tried to destroy it. But should we not expect that a book from God would come under attack by agents of the Devil? This has happened. Bible burnings once were common, and those who were caught reading the Bible were often punished with death.
You would expect a book from God to discuss important matters that all of us should want to know."Where did life come from?" "Why are we here?" "What will the future bring?" are some of the questions it answers. And it plainly says that the information that it contins is from Jehovah God. One Bible writer said: "The Spirit of Jehovah is what spoke to me, and his word was upon my tongue,"(2Samuel23:2) Another wrote:"All scripture is inspired of God."(2Timothy3:16). Since the Bible so definately states that it is the Word of God, would it not be wise to examine it to see if it is?
'Yet how how could the Bible be from God when it was written by men?'you may ask. True, about40 men shared in writing the Bible. These men did the actual writing of the Bible with the exception of the Ten Commandments, which were written personally bu God on stone tablets by direct action of his holyspirit.(Exidus31:18) However, this does not make what they wroteany less the Word of God. Thje Bible explains:"Men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit."(2Peter1:21) Yes just as God used his powerful holy spirit to create the heavens,the earthand all living things, he also used it to direct the writing of the Bible. This means that the Bible has only one author, Jehovah God.

The bible and the Jewish Torah are flawless. Instead of contridicting each other, they compliement and support one another. One shows why we need the other. If the New Testament were some how to disappear from the earth, there's over a thousand documents from secularists of Jesus time that can be used to recreate the new testament. No, not all is God. God is the creator and we and the earth are the created. One is above the other. If I kick a rock, I'm not kicking God.. I'm kicking something he created. Two totally different things.

I find it amazing how so many people say "I believe in the bible and God but..." and go on about how the bible has been corrupted yet they can't prove it. Yet, they will say things like "The bible says you can't judge me! And turn the other cheek". So which is it people? You either believe ALL of it or NONE of it. Stop picking and choosing what you want to believe out of it only when it suits your selfish purposes.

The Christian Bible and Jewish Torah are not flawless. They have been altered. However, the Qur'an has not been altered since its' revelation to mankind.

If you would read the Bible, instead of ridiculing it, you might know the answers you seek.

The translators are the ones that have the flaw.
We all know that some words have multiple equivalents in other languages. example.
labanan(tagalog) = fight,battle,contest,competition,war(English)
