In order to answer these questions, let's first decide what you mean by "the real Bible." That phrase refers to the revelation that came from God to the human authors. They wrote down exactly what was revealed to them, using their own vocabulary and writing style. These messages from God came to some forty different people over the span of 1600 years! The concluding one, the book of Revelation, was given 2000 years ago around 100 AD. Unfortunately, none of these original manuscripts exist today. Well over 3000 years have passed since Moses first penned the book of Genesis. None of his own writing has survived, but copies have been made down through the centuries.

What makes you think that Muslims think the bible is corrupted from Christians? The Koran and Islam is based on Christianity and Judaism, just as Christianity is based on Judaism.

The Catholic bible in the original language is the real bible because the bible did not exist before that. Until then, only a collection of testaments by various early Christians existed. A council was held that selected some testaments and discarded others, no doubt selecting ones that supported the Christian thinking of the day.

No it's not combined with the Koran. The bible was lost with corruption and loss of leadership of the early Christian church founded by Christ. Unfortunatley, to our current knowledge, the true bible is not intact anymore. But there are other scriptures to help us out. Visit www.mormon.org to find out more.

If people knew where it was, there wouldnt be a problem...we have to admit that things were changed.. books were turned away.. what made those less valid.. Paul never met Jesus personally. He claimed to have a vision. Different disciples have different accounts.. some of which are things that shouldnt be different based on perception (like people having different fathers and brothers,genealogy shouldnt change), some books even have differences between different verses. And we all know for a fact that things were changed more recently. Martin Luther and the 99 thesis. The Lutheran church made alot of changes. King Henry started his own version of Christianity when he couldnt divorce his wife. King James has his own version.. does that not strike anyone as strange that we have a man(a king)'s version as what alot of people follow. How much was changed? What exactly was changed? Who knows? But it cant be denied that in some sects things are different based on people changing the Bible to suit their own needs. Lets hope whatever version we follow takes us to heaven.

all Bibles have good in them. What Muhammeds writting refer to is things like using Mary, and the unselecting of some books. Although some of the message was deliberately burried those who did so did not realize the writtings they chose have all those things they thought they left out. One just has to search a little harder. Everything you need to know is in there. Just do not limit yourself to one denominations teachings andread it over several times each time you will learn more after 45 years I am still finding new information, because there is a supernatural quality in scripture and it reveals what you are ready for. Yes there were people who tried to limit the Word but it did not work. I just completed the Qu'ran and found nothing new. Lotsa good stuff but nothing new, that was of any importance.

The real Bible is the one that we all know. The corrupted work is the koran. It started out life as a Byzantine treatrise on the Bible and was modified by Mohamed. Early versions of the koran didn't even mention Mohamed but later his ego got the better of him and he inserted himself into it.

The REAL Bible, as you call it, is contained on manuscripts and scrolls.
One of the most interesting findings in the last 100 years has been the Dead Sea Scrolls, kept in a special museum in Jerusalem. The scrolls reveal that the parts of teh Bible contained in them have remained unchanged from the Torah of today.
It is NOT combined with the Qu'ran. Since Islam does not even date back to the time of Jesus, and HE read from the Torah, I think you can probably guess that it was Mohammed who corrupted sacred writings.

I think the "real Bible" is considered to be lost.
The Bible: A Closer Look - http://www.islamtomorrow.com/bible/bible_closer_look.htm
"Today, there are thousands of different versions of the Bible in circulation and the transcript has been freely translated from one language to another numerous times. According to Bible scholars themselves, the original scripture is no longer extant. It is nowhere to be found. We have no idea if what we are reading and implementing into our lives and belief system is, indeed, God's teaching."
Bible: What was the original language?
"The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, and the New Testament was written in Greek.
The first translation of the English Bible was initiated by John Wycliffe and completed by John Purvey in 1388.
A few chapters of the books Ezra (ch. 4:8-6:18; 7:12-26) and Daniel (ch. 2:4 to 7:28), one verse in Jeremiah (ch. 10:11, and a word in Genesis (ch. 31:47) are written, not in ancient Hebrew, but in Aramaic. Aramaic is about as closely related to Hebrew as Spanish is to Portuguese. However, the differences between Aramaic and Hebrew are not those of dialect, and the two are regarded as two separate languages."

The Qur'an was however revealed in Arabic, a language that still exists today which means the true meaning of the Qur'an is still intact.

This reminds me of an Islamic website I was on once. It had this evidence that Moses predicted the Torah would be corrupted. However, the Torah that has Moses saying this would be corrupted, according to Islamic thought. Yet, the website continues on and quotes two Bible verses which prophecy and fulfill this "corruption".
