OneGod,
Thankyou for your response..It's always interesting that whilst Muslims delight in telling Christians about the problems with the biblical texts, they appear to not realise that there are plenty of textual errors in the Quran.
I purposefully didn't include all those in this discussion. I have spent two years in Bible college studying the Bible, looking at the controversies and reading the manuscripts. I have learned how the Bible in it's form now eventuated and studied the different historical christian councils in detail and can if you wish spend many a post discussing and explaining the various passages you have all shown us.
None of the controversial numbers or passages are unknown to us as Christians. Do you think any of us truly haven't looked into the so called discrepencies in detail? I'm sure many of us have.
But as I said in my previous post, and this is something we all need to agree on.. God says this is His Word, not part of it, and not just the parts that Muslims or even Christians say are HIS word.. God Himself declares it IS His word and HE HIMSELF WILL accomplish with it, the purpose it was spoken.
Now any human who denies that God is able to ensure that what He says He will do, He will actually accomplish is slurring the character of God and I would encourage you to read the words of the tempatation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3 when Satan asked Eve "Did God really say". and the end result of throwing doubt on His word or in the last chapters in the book of Job when God Himself answering the cynicism of Job's friends and in answering Job's questions says "brace yourself as a man and answer these questions... where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth."
You see, it IS the subject of this discussion. As soon as we discredit the Word of God in any form, we are discrediting God Himself. Be very sure that you who say you worship and obey God, know exactly what you are doing when you attempt to discredit any part of His Word.
