The bible must not have been corrupted before Muhammed's time because if it was wouldnt Allah(God) have revealed the Koran earlier? Muhammed lived in the late 500's & early 600's. We have biblical manuscripts from before that time that match up perfect with the bibles we have today.
"The manuscript evidence for the "New Testament" is also dramatic, with nearly 25,000 ancient manuscripts discovered and archived so far, at least 5,600 of which are copies and fragments in the original Greek. SOME MANUSCRIPT TEXTS DATE TO THE EARLY SECOND AND THIRD CENTURIES, with the time between the original autographs and our earliest existing fragment being a remarkably short 40-60 years."

Muslims HATE the Dead Sea Scrolls! They prove that the Bible is far more well preserved than anyone ever suspected. Thank GOD for the Dead Sea Scrolls...a TRUE revelation!
Islamic claim: "They changed the Bible!"
Response: "Which part?"
Islamic claim: "Every part that doesn't match the Koran!"

Response to gratvol.
Matthew, Peter, John and James were eyewitnesses.
Also, the manuscript variants occur in locations that do not effect any of the core doctrines of Christianity which means the core teaching of Christianity has been preserved. The fact that we still have the Bible today given the amount of hostility it has endured is a testament to it's divine origin. As one author said, "The BIble is an anvil that has worn out many hammers."

I'm not muslim but i can tell you that the ascension in Mark does not exists in the Earliest manuscript. And if you take the tanakh and compare it to the old testament then you will notice variations!

The bibles nowadays aren't in the language it was written earlier. New versions are rewritten not from the original bible but a follow up from the previous versions. So please compare the one you have right now and the original. You will discover many discrepancies

Well, can you prove that the Bible wasn't fiction entirely, or that it wasn't altered, without quoting the bible itself? We weren't alive during that time, so no one knows the truth about religion. You ask if Muslims can prove the bible was altered, but can you truly prove otherwise?

my biggest question is about the original authors of the NT gospel.
considering that they were first written down by people who did not see the events they were describing it had already reduced itself to here say and rumors.
as for biblical corruption their is ample evidence of scribal error in much of the OT as shown by different Masoretic texts.

Men are not capable of honest debate. People only present data to reinforce their own beliefs.

It is nice to see Christians quoting Quran, which Muslims believe 100% as God's Revelation. It also says God has no son, it is disbelief to say Jesus is God and that God alone is to be worshiped.
