What do Muslims think of the Scriptures?

you can only chuckle if you bury your head in the sand and choose to ignore the inconsistencies in the Bible.
It does not matter where my points originated as long as they are valid/true.

Prophets were humans, they were also teachers. Their asking for forgiveness shows their humbleness as a human being in front of God. We all seek God's forgiveness because everything belongs to God, not to anyone, not even to the prophets, even they had to seek and ask. And prophets were teachers, their asking for forgiveness, engaging in far extensive worship and prayer was an expression and natural act a humble man of God has for his Creator. It was also an example for their followers to see what it is required of a true believer. They were the best of mankind, examples to be copied.
They knew that as humans we can make mistakes knowingly and unknowingly and a true believer is never arrogant of that fact and seeks God's forgiveness over and over and never thinks that he/she don't make mistakes. That's a true beleiver, a true Muslim.
