Answer 2

Like many Muslims, you seem to confuse the many translations of the Bible as radically different versions. I am aware of only two versions in common usage today (that deserve the description of "version") of the Bible, The Roman Catholic and Protestant Versions, the latter of which has seven fewer books in the Old Testament.

Most of the "3500 versions" of the Bible are translations, since very few people can read the ancient languages the Bible was written down in. As time passed, languages shifted and the original translations became harder to understand, so re-translations were made, usually based on the earliest original documents available. Some translations are more "word for word"; others tend to paraphrase non-translatable or obscure cultural references so that the modern reader can understand them.

I was sceptical about reading the Quran after having read Galatians 1 v6-10. Paul warned against false teaching, using the phrase "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!” Understandably, the Quran written by a man who claimed to have received his message from an angel and contradicting much of the Bible was hardly something I would accept at face value. However I did attempt to read an English translation of the Quran, but eventually abandoned the attempt. I felt that the sense of truth and God's presence I felt when reading the Bible was absent from the Quran.

Answer 3

There is one version of the Bible, but many translations from it's original language. I do believe that there are also several translations of the Quran. With the Bible, certain denominations have selectively removed sections that they found that conflicted with there beliefs. The protestamt King James version removed the books that they felt were "to Catholic".
However, since the Bible predates the Quran by several hundred years, and that Mohammed would have been able to read one, one could wonder if the Quran is just another altered Bible.

Answer 4

there are several translations of the Quran, but no versions. the bible has 24,000 versions not translations, but 24000 versions not 3500 and no 2 are identical so how can you call the bible the words of GOD? IT IS SAID IF YOU THROW ALL THE QURAN BOOKS IN THE OCEAN, AND CALL UPON 1000 MUSLIM SCHOLARS TO REWRITE THE QURAN 1 BY 1 that all 1000 books will be identical word for word. HOW can the bible have so many versions and no 2 be identical, we not asking 1000 to be identical, but only 2.

Answer 5

There's a big difference between reading the Koran and adhering to its content. Let me explain the concept of the "untouched" Koran.

The Koran was written in about 23 years.
1. From time to time writers wrote down what Mohamed said, or this was memorized and later put on paper. So, a lot of the passages were preserved only in the memories of those who followed him. Who can guarantee that those memorized pieces were written down faithfully? They were only memories, not a direct transcription.
2. When Mohamed died, many who could recite the Koran lost their lives in the Battle of Yamama. So it was suggested to Abu Bakr to collect all the chapters of the Koran. He gathered all the available fragments, (also those on palm leaves, clay tablets, etc.) from the ones who still had the fragments in their memory.
3. The first whole manuscript was ready 20 years after Mohamed died.
4. Later Uthman (Khalifa) told Zeyd (adopted son) to make a revision(!). So all previous copies were destroyed.
This second manuscript is more or less what the Muslims have today.

So the Koran of today is made up for the greater part by the contribution of people who could recite it (memory of men) and from revisions (opinion of men).

Answer 7

Let people follow whatever belief they have.....why do u care? When do people stop this sick thing of trying to convert people to their religion by force or silly logics?

When u can follow a religion founded by a person who seems to have "mysteriously" heard revelations from an angel, with no neutral person standing as a witness to this "strange" act, except for few of his homies,then any other religion in this world would also make perfect sense. All religions are based on plain personal beliefs & let it stay that way!

Answer 8

Actually, there are thousands of books on the planet without other versions, but it is probably true that the Bible has been changed more than any other book.

Answer 9

When it comes to differences in decisions to be made on textual variants, they differ by only about 2-4%. So at least 96% of the time there is no dispute on what the correct reading is.

And none of them are concerning doctrinal issues.

Answer 10

It's obvious.

ANY Bible is better than the Quran.
