Quran is the original book that had been sent 1400 years ago.
Not a letter of it has changed.

"1.Can you Christians honestly say that there is still an original Bible too this day?"
No.

"2.Can you Muslims honestly say that there is still an original Quran too this day?"
If they answer, "Yes." Then look at this:

"And if your answer is ''no'' do you feel uncomfortable knowing your book may have parts missing or rewritten in a corupt way?"
Of course I do. But there is more than text to prove that Christianity is right. And that is the influence of God's Spirit. Those that do not know that God's Spirit works certain things in the life of a Christian, often to substantiate the Bible, then they have a disadvantage, don't they?

If God works wonders through those who trust Him, then those that do not know Him are left to wonder about the truth of all of it. They have little to go on as a basis to believe.

And THAT is why there is debate. Most people don't have God's influence upon them. And it is to be expected that god would work that way, He doesn't want everybosy, and does NOT interact with them.

I am not saying so to disturb you ( though that might actually be a good sign!) , but I merely bring it up so that you might understand why so many people miss the point.

From the Jewish perspective.

Yes- we can be certain that the text of the Torah we have today is the same as that of 3500 years ago. There have always been very strict rules for copying it- meaning that if a letter was merely the wrong shape the whole Torah was deemed unkosher and not fit for use until it was repaired. On top of that, there were always multiple copies which were read in public in every village and town on every shabbat and market day making knowledge of the torahuniversal and common, preventing decay of its text since there were many people that would have recognised the error.

Additionally, the books recovered from the dead sea scrolls match those we have today, the complete book of Isaiah from the Dead Sea scrolls a word for word match for our modern editions. Don't forget that the Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim (Tanach- what non-Jews refer to as the Old Testament) was always studied and disseminated in hebrew, with translations into the vernacualr of the day common susch as the Targum Onkelos and targum Yohonasan (Targum being translation, and Onkelos and Yohonasan the authors) into Aramaic, the everyday vernacular of the Jews after the Babylonian exile. Additionally, when the Torah was read in public to people that were not learned, a translator translated as it was read.

The oral law is a nother story. We know that parts of the Midrash (explanations and additional information) on the Torah are lost- we only the sifrei for three of the five books. The oral law itself is well preserved in the Mishnah- but the loss of two books of the sifrei means that our Rabbis today do not have the full picture behind some of the Rabbinical enactments of the Sanhedrin or the interpretations of them as brought in the Gemorra. (The Mishnah and Gemorra together comprise the Talmud). It was due to the fear that further information would be lost that The oral law was written down to preserve it.

I'm a Christian, and the answer to the first question is no.
However, we do have over 24,000 fragments of manuscripts, in many different languages, and ALL of them translate about the same. The New Testament is 99.5% accurate, both are rated at over 98% accurate altogether. So no, it doesn't make me uncomfortable. The care that was taken in copying the books of the Bible actually makes me fairly positive that the Bible I hold in my hands is the same as it was more than 2000 years ago.

Fact- all Truth originated from one Source That Source being God.. thru translations and some wicked men who sought not their fellow man's welfare but their own pride and gain.. Most things have for the most part become Corrupted..The important part that Fools can not see so they murmur continually..It matters not whether the bible,Quran,Torah,Book of Mormon,Pearl of Great price, dead see scrolls or any other scripture book is totally correct.. Obviously it matters not for the Lord has allowed their to be 1000 different bibles thanks to the decievings of the devil..However an honest person in heart which is few an far between it seems in this day will realize very quickly that God is the Ultimate Authority and without Direct revelation from him concerning ourself we must unavoidingly perish..All those scriptures ye quoted ye know what they are? They are Holy just men who wanted to know the truth what did they do..They prayed till the heavens were rent and the Lord revealed his will to them..They then wrote it down and repeated it to their fellow man that they might share in the Joy and happiness and wisdom they had discovered.
To each of you is given the Spirit of Christ by this spirit all of Ye from the least to the greatest of you know the difference between right and wrong..If you choose to follow the wrong even though your own conscience ie the spirit of Christ telleth you what you are doing is wrong then ye must fall..Now all that aside basically a person unless they are a total fool will get down and talk to their heavenly father and let him know their desires and he will manifest the truth of it to them..Know ye not eye has not seen neither has entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him?"

The quran is still in its original state. During the time of Muhammed, words of the quran were memorrised by companions ( yes all 30 chapters ). Words were also written on leaves. (maybe as a "backup").

Till the present day, with all the technology of digital storage and printing of millions of copies of the Holy Quran, millions of muslims have learned the Quran off (all 30 chapters) by heart.

If all the copies (digital and hard) were destroyed beyond readable, the quran can still be rewritten -

YES - ALL 30 CHAPTERS - and its been that way for over 1400 yrs

Question 1: No, there isn't one because it's a compilation of books made by several people. There actually is a documentary by the history channel which questions the veracity of the Christian Bible and why several books like the book of Jubilee was ommitted.

Question 2: Yes, the original Koran is in Turkey, Muhammed's followers made sure that the Koran would never be adulterated or translated. They were entrusted to what they called the Caliphate I think.

Question 3: I think so because Judaism is different from Christianity and they have preserved it.

Apart from that documentary I mentioned, owing to lots of translation in our Christian Bible, I can't blame Muslims when they say we have so many versions what is suposedly of God's word. Their Koran is in Arabic and followers irregardless of race and nationality prays in Arabic.

1. Yeah. In the minds of religious people.

No, I won't feel in such a way. I just KNOW than my belief is more important for me. You may ask: Don'tcha think that you believe in the corrected and rewritten words ? - Maybe, but everyone believes in that things he/she wanna believe in. And I WANNA believe in the authentic origin of what I read and what I believe in. I don't care over some missing parts. If we don't believe in anything, In future we'll torn either into robots or into plants. Do wanna that?

So much time has passed by since those books were written, that nobody knows for sure! We must use our logic and creativity to stay on the path of religion! Fortunately! men's brains have a sense of whats wrong, and whats right, so if there are parts that are corrupt we will sense that they are wrong, and act accordingly as we have done in the past.

2.Can you Muslims honestly say that there is still an original Quran too this day?
yes and I'm saying it with all confidence :)
god has promised to save the qur'an until the day of the judgment . actually the reason of sending qur'an was because bible has been modified and changed .
to prove that , you can find all pages of qur'an which written through many years and before 1428 years and until now ,all its the same .
try to bring a holy qur'an from the west and a one from east then compare between them , you'll never find any letter has been removed or replaced :)

do you think that we don't know how to recognize the words of god ? qur'an in a simple word just a MIRACLE :)
