Anything that does not change will lag behind.
There is no such thing as heavenly book.

First off, there are NO heavenly books. No book ever held by the hand of mankind has ever been directly written by the hand of God. Neither the Old Testament, the New Testament, The Kabbalah, The Torah, The Qu'ran nor any other so-called holy scripture is perfectly uncontaminated by the fallible mind of mankind.
For anything to be understood, it must be interpreted within the mind, even if what is being read is written in the native tongue of the reader. For anything to be interpreted, the human mind must "reword," so to speak, what has been taken in - comparing, contrasting and redefining based on what it already knows and understands.
In this way, almost everyone that reads the same scripture will understand it differently than the next. This accounts for the variations among ancient Biblical texts, and disagreements of "official interpretations" of the Qu'ran which have resulted in sectarian violence throughout the Muslim world.

The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.
This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.
There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.

Only if left in Arabic. I've already seen two English versions that varied with each other. At the rate of ambition and aggression in the Muslim community these days The Koran will soon be as garbled as the Bible.
And you achieve nothing by advertising a falsity.

The Bible.The Dead Sea Scrolls have shown the preservation of the Old Testament throughout the centuries.Same goes for the New Testament.We have over 6,000 Greek copies of the original New Testament,whcih are 99.5% textually pure,with the errors only being monor variants such as a mispelled word.

Since there are no "heavenly" books in the literal sense, I cannot answer your question.
BTW, I hate to break it to you Serena, but there are more variations between those 6000 copies of the New Testament than there are words in the entire Bible!

Holy Bible (KJV) 1611
This is the only true words of God where nothing has been tampered with, such as NKJV, NIV, NLT, and those kinds.
Serena you gave a great answer!

maybe you want your holy books to be a little more flexible AS SOCIETY CHANGES OVER TIME.
