Is the Bible Still the Word of God?

Yall have to be kidding me, right? That�s the best you can do? There is nothing that any one of you showed that the Bible is corrupt. When those versus are read in English, Hebrew or Arabic the meaning is still basically the same unless of course you read them in Arabic and write them in English as you did. You read it in whatever tongue you speak. Realize a major factor that has helped the Bible to become mankind�s best-known book is its availability in many languages. The Bible must speak in the language of the people in order to speak to their hearts. As you can readily see the message is still the same, with the same thought. See for yourself http://www.arabicbible.com/bible/doc_bible.htm or the one I use http://www.waterlive.org/

Job 12:6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

خِيَامُ الْمُخَرِّبِينَ مُسْتَرِيحَةٌ،

وَالَّذِينَ يُغِيظُونَ اللهَ مُطْمَئِنُّونَ،

الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِإِلهِهِمْ فِي يَدِهِمْ!

Job 31:10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.

فَلْتَطْحَنِ امْرَأَتِي لآخَرَ، وَلْيَنْحَنِ

عَلَيْهَا آخَرُونَ.

**Psalms 83:18** That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

وَيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكَ اسْمُكَ يَهْوَهُ

وَحْدَكَ، الْعَلِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

Do you read Hebrew or Greek? If not, you cannot read the early handwritten copies of the Bible, some of which are still in existence. Therefore, for you to read the Bible, someone had to put the words into a language you know, like Arabic for instance. This translating from one language to another has made it possible for more persons to read God�s Word. For example, about 300 years before Jesus lived on earth, Greek became the language most people began to speak. So the Hebrew Scriptures were put into Greek, beginning in 280 B.C.E. This early translation was called the �Septuagint.�

6:34. Walaqad kuththibat rusulun min qablika fasabaroo AAala ma kuththiboo waoothoo hatta atahum nasruna wala mubaddila likalimati Allahi walaqad jaaka min naba-i almursaleena

10:64. Lahumu albushra fee alhayati alddunya wafee al-akhirati la tabdeela likalimati Allahi thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

18:27. Waotlu ma oohiya ilayka min kitabi rabbika la mubaddila likalimatihi walan tajida min doonihi multahadan

Inna nahnu nazzalna alththikra wa-inna lahu lahafithoona

"Again your incorrect Mo, Paul does not abrogate or cancel (Unlike the Quran, you will not find abrogating in God�s Holy Bible) but the Law was fulfilled, Judo-Christians were now no longer under the law covenant. It seems that you have been misinformed .
 

��Isn't this EXACTLY what Paul did? Taught men to break, actually ignore, the Law.

Ask yourself, who do you believe? God? Jesus? Or Paul?��

You are waaaaay of course again Mo, after Jesus died a sacrificial death the law was fulfilled, completed. Paul was a Jew by birth but followed and practiced Christianity like Jesus 12 apostles and his many followers."

"BTW, Mo, Jesus fulfilled the law by dying on the STAKE and being resurrected. If you knew anything about the law you would have known it was in preparation of Jesus, the �lamb of God�

Once again, point out the verses in the Old Testament that prophesy that God would send himself to earth in human form to be a blood sacrifice so that his perpetual covenants would no longer matter. And the verses that state that God gave the Laws to Moses ONLY to prepare for the coming of Jesus. 

Shibboleth wrote: . A report published in 1971 shows that there are possibly 6,000 handwritten copies containing all or part of the Hebrew Scriptures;

Shibboleth wrote:  the oldest dates back to the third century B.C.E. Of the Christian Greek Scriptures, there are some 5,000 in Greek, the oldest dating back to the beginning of the second century C.E.

The oldest is over 200 years from Jesus times and you consider this a proof

For us muslims , this no where near good enough to be accepted as authenticate source

Muslims scholars rejects hadiths that have far better authenticity than 200 years gap

Shibboleth wrote: More than 13,000 manuscripts of the Greek Scriptures are said to be available today. A study of them shows that the original text of the Christian Greek Scriptures has also been preserved accurately, the oldest dating back to the beginning of the second century C.E.

Which language did Jesus speak ? and Which language were the scriptures sent with ?

Are you familiar with the greek proverb that says

" IF YOU WANT TO BE A LIAR , BE A TRANSLATOR "

Shibboleth wrote: For example, the Institute for New Testament Textual Studies in Germany has made about 95 percent of its approximately 5,300 handwritten copies of the Christian Greek Scriptures available for scientific study, either on microfilm or in photographs. A comparison of them shows just how exact the transmission of the Bible text down to our day has been. The interval of time between the original writing of the Christian Greek Scriptures and the writing of the oldest extant papyrus manuscripts is very short, not more than 25 years.

Again way far from good enough for authenticity of a text with that importance

Shibboleth wrote: Nevertheless, some still believe that the present-day Torah and Injīl have been corrupted and cannot be trusted. But if this were true, when did this falsification take place?

Throughout the years this been happening , before Quran was revealed , after it was revealed, and in our moderns times

Did you ever wonder why there're 'NEW EDITIONS" of the bible, while there're none of the Qur'an ?

Shibboleth wrote: From a Qur�ānic viewpoint, no corruption could possibly have occurred BEFORE writing of the Qur�ān because many Qur�ānic verses call for faith in the Torah and the Injīl.

This is a very false statement, Qur'an clearly states in several occasions that Torah and Injil have been corrupted , as was pointed to you in another post

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stated this , if you believe in Qur'an's authenticity , then you believe What He said

If you don't believe in Qur'an authenticity's, then the Qur'anic viewpoint is of no importance to you

So which one is it?

(For example, see Al-Baqarah [2]:136; Āl �Imrān [3]:84; Al-Nisā� [4]:136.) The Qur�ān also recommends seeking out those versed in the Torah and the Injīl, saying: �If ye realise this not, ask of those who possess the Message.� (Al-Naḥl [16]:43; Al-Anbiyā� [21]:7) Would it do so if these texts had been corrupted? Furthermore, many Qur�ānic verses call out to �People of the Book� (the Torah and the Injīl) to turn back to their books. (For instance, see Al-Mā�idah [5]:50, 71.) Surely, an invitation would not be given to turn back to corrupted books!

Shibboleth wrote: Likewise, no corruption could possibly have occurred AFTER the writing of the Qur�ān, since a comparison of our modern-day Holy Scriptures with manuscripts of the Torah and the Injīl written FOUR or FIVE centuries before the writing of the Qur�ān shows that there have been no changes, or corruption.

I suggest you revise this statement, a small revision of the current version of the bible and a revision that's only 200-300 years old , would show you clearly the differences

Shibboleth wrote: These manuscripts are available in public libraries and museums.

Which public libraries , and which museums ?

do you have any document that dates back to the times of Jesus ?

Shibboleth wrote: If you have a copy of the Bible, you are far from alone. In whole or in part, the Bible has been published in more than 2,300 languages and thus is available to more than 90 percent of the world�s population. On the average, more than a million Bibles are distributed each week! Billions of copies of either the whole Bible or part of it have been produced. Surely, there is no other book like the Bible.

There could be millions and millions copies printed , if you go to any hotel room in the USA there's a copy of the bible

But who reads it, how many times ?

who reads the bible at least 5 times a day like muslims read the Quran ?

Who memorizes the bible by heart like Muslims do ? 

Qur'an is the only book that's being memorized by heart by millions of people around the world

Shibboleth wrote: DO WE HAVE THE BIBLE IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM TODAY? UNEQUIVOCALLY, YES! IS THERE AN �ORIGINAL BOOK� THAT SHOWS THE CORRUPTION OF GOD�S HOLY WRITINGS? EMPHATICALLY NO!

All the different copies of the bible and the differences between it shows the corruption

Shibboleth wrote: EVEN THE QUR�AN TESTIFIES TO THAT FACT!

Where does the Qur'an say that the bible/OT is not corrupted ? this is a very false statement
