I've read from several sites and commentaries that it is basically without a doubt the same as it has always been. What proof is there of this, that archaeologists and historians are fooled, but Muslims are not fooled.

Why would you reject a slew of atheist professors assertion that the Bible is unchanged and yet believe their similar assertions about the Qu'ran and Torah?
Why would you reject the assertions by the most ancient Christian Churches that the Trinity was always Tradition, yet accept that some of the things Muslims do are traditional practices later written down?
Why would you do these things? Isn't it hypocritical? Couldn't I just assert that the Qu'ran was changed then?

Yes the bible has been corrupted by Early Christians King James for example compiled the bible most of know now but before that people would change the words of the prophets from their scrolls. I know this from the Book of Mormon it is another testament of Jesus Christ. and it explains that the Bible has been changed over the years. It has been said that the King James Bible is the only one that is closely accurate but it is still off. Just be greatful that we have the bible.

The early Christians did not believe in a burning hell. Many modern professed Christians believe that a loving God tortures people in a burning hell. The early Christians did not believe in the trinity, but modern "Christians believe God is composed of 3 coequal, coeternal "persons," although the Bible contains NO scripture that says that. The early Christians chose death in the arenas to joining the military. Today, many "Christians" are involved in warfare, even though Jesus told his followers to live their enemies.
The early Christians practiced the teachings of the Bible. Modern "Christians" are not.

I have a copy of the the Greek NT. It is unchanged from the ancient Greek Texts and our English Bibles are accurate. There are over 14,200 ancient copies of the scriptures. They are all in harmony. There are ~620 ancient copies of Homer's Iliad. Do the math.

Of course it was corrupted.
Originally written in Greek and translated over and over again, being the patriarchal world that it was back then, of course it was re-written in such a way for the church to instill fear, gain control and to keep the power over the people.

Actually, the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!
