Personally, I didn't know some of this stuff. It intrigued me. What about you?

Well, I went to your site and read the entire list. I didn't find anything there that would support Islam, so I am curious about why you posted this question.
I actually got to see some of the Dead Sea Scrolls in a museum in Seattle. They are currently touring the United States. All of these facts are correct, and none of them dispute current Christian beliefs. I especially liked this one:
"The Scrolls have revolutionized textual criticism of the Old Testament. Interestingly, now with manuscripts predating the medieval period, we find these texts in substantial agreement with the Masoretic text as well as widely variant forms." END QUOTE
Thank you for giving people the opportunity to learn about the Dead Sea Scrolls, a very, VERY important find for Christianity.

these findings have helped the catholic church and likely many other churches in better understanding the culture and languages of the bible. while interesting i feel the catholic church has used the scrolls in light of what is important to the truths of god as found in the bible. jesus promised his church would be guided eternally by the holy spirit ans so i trust in jesus and his church regarding the scrolls. the information is interesting but some things are somewhat questionable. i have been researching the scrolls amongst other things. well composed and interesting question.

Muslims have no problem about that. the matter is we believe that the bible is a holy book, but it got "deformed" by humans in "SOME" way. I've a book for my favourtite Muslim Scholar called "The pearls of The OT" pointing to verses of the old testament that weren't altered by humans.

Praise God... care to read Isaiah 53 now? What would Muhammad say? If this prophesy of the coming Savior is intact from 250 BC and tells of the atonement what does this do to the Bible is corrupt, Christ is not a Savior teaching?
