I converted to islam a few years ago. I dont want to throw my Bible in the bin because it contains some of the words of God (just mixed with mens words) What should I do with it?
And in their footsteps, We sent 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), confirming the Taurât (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurât (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).
(Qur'an 5:46)

Keep your bible and you may read and read it over and over to compare with the Quran. Time will come you will realize that the bible is the true words of God. I ptiy you to have gone from the right path and hve followed the wrong path. I pray to God that someday, you will come across the right path to follow and move away from the wrong path.

This is SO serious. I've been a Christian most of my life, but just a month ago I started thinking that maybe - what if- Islam was the right way? What if killing the guy who disagrees with you is actually the right thing to do? I've just finished reading the Koran, or Qur'an, and I'm all confused. I still believe in Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He died on the cross for my sins, but my faith is wavering- My mom's all but kicked me out of the house for even SUGGESTING Islam. Don't throw your Bible away. Maybe it's sort of wrong to ask a question on Yahoo answers, but if you want to, email me at Evenasance99@yahoo.com. I would love to learn more from an actual Islamist! (Though I wouldn't answer until tommorow night-it's WAY too past my beauty sleep time.)

Maybe you should save it and read again what Jesus said about who sent him and why. He is the Injeel (Gospel). Nobody gave him the Gospel for He is the living word..
He did come about the Torah for he is the living Torah, that is to say he was the Torah made flesh to dwell among us; the living word. He is the living word which the entire Bible speaks of. He came to restore our relationship with God; which He did for those who accept redemption.
He is the way, the truth and the life and the light of the world. And our situation today is ours; for the simple reason that men love darkness rather than light.

Continue to do what your doing. Compare the Holy Bible to the Qur'an. The Holy Bible is the word of God. Many other books have been copied. Check your new book to see if the age is less then the Holy Bible. Many of the Religious books have been written with the contents of the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is the word of God . Think about it and take your time to decide.

Read it...and well you should keep it. Even if you never touch it just place it on a book shelf and if you ever regain your senses it will be there for you!
Wait, I'm sorry that sounded a bit mean.
Well anyway if the bible has been blessed you cant throw it away or sell it.
I'd suggest donating it to a church or give it to someone who YOU KNOW will take VERY GOOD care of it.
And if you cant do that...well bury it. Thats perfectly fine and VERY respectable.
God bless you!

I have read the Bible. And have read much of the Quran. In the Quran it says to be a good Muslim, you should be familiar with the Bible. In much of the Quran, Biblical stories are mentioned as if you should already know them from previous knowledge. This previous material is the Bible.
So you should keep it, and study it if you are serious about strongly knowing your faith.

Well it is too bad that you want to get rid of it, it holds the truth of God. Did you know that all of the biblical prophecy that has been fulfilled to date has been 100% accurate?
So my first advice to your question "What should I do with my Bible?" Would be to read and study it and make absolutely sure that you don't want to follow Jesus.
Then if you still don't want it, you can give it to the Salvation Army or a local thrift shop.

I would keep reading it because a person like yourself would be essential in bridging a gap between Muslims and Christians. An understanding of both is in the best interest of peace for all religions.

I ache for you, and I'm not just saying that, I mean it. I don't know a lot about Islam, but I would ask you to read the Bible and search the scriptures for what God is wanting to show you. The peace and joy that comes with being a Christian is amazing, and it's just so amazing to me how much God loves every single one of us. I know that you believe in God, but the only way to have that peace and joy of knowing him is to have a relationship with his son, Jesus Christ.You probably have a lot of answers like this one already, but I urge you to dig deep into the scriptures.

You can donate it. I think the Salvation Army among other places give copies away...if you really do not want it any more donate it to somewhere like that.
To be honest, you could throw it away...people need to worship the Author, the Creator, not the book. I just say donate it because I know there are lots of people who want it and could benefit from it.

Rip out the pages and use it for papers man..
haha
Jk.
You can always keep it for memories and I know that there similarities between the Qur'an and the Christian bible. You might be able to draw inspiration on meditating on both.
Keep in mind this comes from someone with out any faith.
