The qu'ran which tells us to believe in the former revelations granted to the prophets of old alhumdilillah. To believe in the torah that which was granted to moses(pbuh) and the injil that was revealed to the christ. To the glorious qu'ran which was revealed to the prophet muahmmad(pbuh). Muslims believe in all revelations so the only question up in the open is belief vs disbelief. As salaamun alaikum!

For those who would say the Bible is not the Word of God, or that the Bible contains numerous errors I would say this: Paul could say in 2nd Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God." That's the Greek word, "theopneustos" meaning "God-Breathed." Every single word was given from God to 40 different men, and 2nd Peter 1:21 adds: "for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." Now that was the Old Testament. The New Testament wasn't in existence when Paul used these verses. He was telling the churches in his letters what had happened in the past, but in John 16:12-13, Jesus talked about the coming of the New Testament. He says, "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come."
That's the New Testamant. And we can say with John 17:17, "Your Word is Truth." Today, we have 66 books written by 40 different individuals on 3 continents covering a period of 1,500 years and there's not one mistake, regardless of what some of the critics say. They haven't studied God's Word enough to know the truth. Among the writers we had kings, poets, philosophers, prophets, scholars and fisherman. And I want you to know we have all of the Word of God today. Someone says, "Yes, but we don't have the original manuscripts" Who said so?
We have copies totalling 24,800. Now, how do we know that they're right? Well, if you take 20 items and you compare them and 19 state one thing and one doesn't, then the one is in error. We've got 24,800 manuscripts that exist today to compare one against another and we have another 80,000 quotations from the church fathers, enough to put the entire Bible together with the exception of 11 verses. Take the 80,000 quotations from the church fathers and the 24,800 manuscripts for a total of 104,800 and you have all of God's Word dozens and hundreds of times. This is so because God's Word is literally flawless. After computers have compared millions, or even billions, of letters in analyzing the 104,800 manuscripts the texts are basically flawless. So, don't listen to the critics. The Bible is the Word of the Living God!

With all respect, you were very close to asking a decent version of a question for which men have fought, killed and died for over a thousand years, but you blew it. You didn't include a Bible quote to balance your quotes from the Qur'an
No book is correct or incorrect. Only in a living mind can correctness or incorrectness occur.
To insist on pressing this question is to insist that more men fight, kill and die in the name of The One Who said "Thou Shall Not Kill."
It is no longer necessary in our world that one or the other of these books be considered right. But we are creating a circumstance through our insistence uopn rightness wherein neither book can be considered right. The choice is no longer Bible or Qur'an. The choice now is neither or both.
Tell me, kind seeker of truth: do you understand the meaning of these words: "Let there be no compulsion in religion" ?
Respectfully and truthfully,
A. O.

Let me point this one thing out- Both books were both origionally written in ancient dialects and depending on the different translations, they could mean close to the same thing. You never know. Perhaps both holy books were taken by the word of God and his prophets but they were both translated by humans into their own language. This dimlema has come up alot in history especially with the translation of the Torah. One word or phrase can have more than one meaning and it is up to the translator to choose which meaning it will be. I think that is your third alternantive and that is the best answer.

For a book to be book of God first and foremost condition is that, the book itself should claim that the book is from God. Right?
Say if someone claim that the "Da vinci code" is book of God, can a sane person even consider it? Can a sane person take it seriously even for fraction of second. No..
Why because Dan brown never claim that the book is from God.
In the same way bible never claimed that bible is from God. Of course only some portion like 10 commandmends etc, can be from God but not the whole or all the books. When mathew write Gospel, had he ever claimed that I am writing inspired words of God?
So, these are only chriatians who claim so, and for proof there is nothing. They says ask God for proof. Bible does not even mention that there is book by name bible. Bible fails in very first test. If you present case of bible to any court, the case itself won't be accepted becase claime itself is meaningless. This is just a blind belief and they blame muslims for logical belief.
Quran, in serveral places claim that the Book is revealed from Lord of universe..

The Bible is much older than the Quran. The Old Testament prophets prophesied accurately. I'll match the prophets of the Holy Bible against any prophets of any other religion, especially the Quran. Moses wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Genesis is the foundational book to the rest of the Bible. It also records the first messianic prophecies of the Bible predicting that the Redeemer would be born of the seed of a woman through the line of Seth a son of Shem the offspring of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and from the tribe of Judah. The Redeemer is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and God.

the quran warns the reader, the one who has submitted to Allah to also read and submit to the bible, both books.
the quran also tells of Isa Al Masiah and tells he needs to be listened to.
The quran has much wisdom; but it is often misquoted. It also has some things that are very easy to misinertpret. You must take any book like this in it's entirity. I am convinced that the quran doesn't teach the violence that radicals profess it teaches.
But the bible is infallible....100%. You really don't need the quran.

Personally, I don't think either one is entirely right. Both may contain some truth, but at the end of the day they were both written by mere men and are unreliable. Why would God choose such a poor medium, that can be corrupted and twisted and turned into anything and everything, to transmit his word? I don't believe he would. I think he wrote his word on our hearts and we would find it if we would only look within ourselves. Unfortunately, the religion racket can't have the power of influence and take in billions of dollars a year if God is giving his word away for free to anyone who seeks it, so we wind up with religion instead.

Well whatever you belive in. They are both corrent in the aspect of the old testament. They both consist of it, and both follow it. Personally, since I'm a Christian, I believe the Bible is correct, but Muslims probably think something completely different.

With all due respect. The bible is the inherent infaulable word of God. It is the constitution of God's Kingdom and it will stand forever because the truth written in it has a very important message to all people, of all backgrounds, in every country through history.
