Actually, there is significant archaelogical evidence that the Quran, like the Bible has changed since it was written.  The current form of the Quran does not appear to be the original form.  I was reading an article in Newsweek or Time or some similar magazine on how there is fear among scholars to discuss this.  Scholars of the Quran do not have the same freedom to discuss things as Bible scholars have.  No one kills a bible scholar for a dumb idea or for bringing forward a fact.  People do kill Quran scholars.

I am a Christian and I have the Quran translated in English that I read.  My fiance is muslim and I am going to Jordan to marry him and I want to learn more about the religion.  I don't see much of a differnece between the Bible and the Quran.  The only difference between the Quran and the Bible that I can see is that to the Muslims, Jesus is only a prophet and not a savior.  I may change my religion to islam later on in my marriage, but I still pray to Jesus.  Go to Barnes and Noble and get a copy of the Quran translated into English and see for yourself.

You are right!\n\nAnd do you know that they are teaching that languages were not created at the Tower of Bable but that they "evolve" as well?\n\nWe need to get the Bible back into the schools!\n\nGod bless

the quran is just where the bible left off . the bookz of the Jews does not mention Jesus and all the prophets that followed. similarly the bible does not mention the prophetz following Jesus Christ . so the Quran is kind of like the final religious book. so it is the same . except the bible has had alot of alterations in it.

All Christians interpret the Bible differently because it is so convoluted and contradictory.  They pick and choose which verses suit their own personal interests regardless of what anyone else thinks.  If the same one God was speaking the same words to everyone, then they should all have the same answer.  Clearly that isn't happening!  People are just using the bible as a weapon for their own gain.

That's a very good point. In the early days of Christian religion, Christians were also required to fast (not eat from sunrise to sunset) in certain times of the year. This is similar to what Muslims do. But Christians have given up this tradition just because the early practioners chose what to carry out and the bible was written a long time after Jesus's death. That's why so many things have been lost or modified. In Islam, the Quran was written at the time the Prophet Muhammed  (sm) was still alive. So, there was no chance of it being changed or modified later.

There is very simple answer to your question. Go any corner of the World, Ask a Muslim to show you the Holy Quran (in Arabic) and it's the same. There are no versions of The Holy Quran. \n\nThe Holy Quran was Strictly Preserverved after it's first Publication and It's highly forbidden to change, add or remove even a word of any Verse of The Holy Quran (no matter even if it's for the purpose to simplify the meaning). \n\nAlthough, there is No Possibility of Corruption after it's first publication of The Holy Quran, there are some corruptions in Hadits. Hadits are The Narrations of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). There are conflicts about the Corruptions in Hadits among Muslims, due to which there are different groups among Muslims too. But the major Doctrines of Islam are same (as the Holy Quran is not changed since it's first Publication).

The Bible has changed quite a bit over time and by different people.  It would be easy to switch one or two words around and get a completely different meaning.\nI would suggest you try looking at different Bibles and see the differences.  Maybe an older version might not have had that in it.\nThat line sounds to me like Jesus was justifying the Crusade, which I highly doubt he would have.

Wow! Some of the people that gave you answers should learn to be a little more excepting of other religions! Mormons probably think that their veiws are a load of crap too! Anyway, I think that you are over looking the fact that changes in the bible did cause a bit of controversy. And I think that maybe since The Book of Mormon hasn't been changed alot in the past (if at all), then they don't want to ruin such a holy and unchanged thing.

Muslims believe that Bible was changed from its original version hence all these contradictions.

Back then the word basically traveled by word of mouth.  The bible is a collection of writhings..66 to be exact.  Faith and trust in Jesus  'blossomed' and florished right from the day he began his ministry.  And it is still blossoming today.

Many people may not see it this way but i think that all these new bibles NIV,nasb, and more are a taktic of satan. you know in the end times every one is going to be of one religion and every one changing to these new bibles i believe is the changing of religions. i use the King James Version AND I LOVE MY GOD.

ok ok the bible as it is now has been arround since at least for 1500 years. But after jesus resurections the diciples use to spread the word by mouth then they wrote the famous letters included in new testaments. The famous dead sea scroll that they found some years ago (1947) came to confirm that the current bible is 100 percent correct.\n\nNow you have the muslims and their incorrect interpretations about bible and jesus, these are their lies to make jesus not the absolut god. \n\nmuslims cant tell about bible, they barerly can tell about quran, where 70% of them dont know what in it.

I would like to clarify the difference of translated and changed. Translated is when something is written in one language and is copied or written into another language that one can understand. And when something is changed it means that it is totally worded different from its original text. The bible has not been changed. It has been translated.\nFrom what I found there has been over 400 versions of the English Bible since the King James Bible was published in 1611. Starting with the Revised Version (1881); to the American Standard Version (1901); to the Amplified Bible (1958); to the Living Bible (1967); to the New International Version (1973); to the New King James Bible (1979);

Maybe the Holy Quran hasn't changed in 14 hundred years but, I'll wager my life that no two Islamic sects interpret it the same way.  That being said, what's the difference?  The Quran and the bible are just fairy tales anyway.

The content of the Bible has remained constant for many centuries.  It has been translated many times, into different languages.  It has also been "revised" to make the language more accessible to the masses.  For example, the King James Version (my personal favorite) is written in Shakespeare-like language.  The Revised Standard and the New Revised Standard update the language so people can understand it, but when you line up the 3 Bibles and read all 3 versions, the meaning is the same.  It is like reading "Taming of the Shrew" by Shakespeare, and then reading a modern version of the story written by the New York Daily News.  Same story, different words.

The bible was written over thousands of years, most of the Old Testament in Hebrew (parts in Aramaic), and the New Testament written in Greek. \nThe problem is that languages change with time and misuse, so old books need retranslating to maintain accuracy (i.e. does the translation mean to a modern reader in the translated language what it did to a contemporary reader in the ancient language).\nModern Greek is different from 1st century Greek. Modern Hebrew is different from ancient Hebrew. US English is different from UK English. Egyptian arabic is different from Modern Standard Arabic.\nwww.biblegateway.com has 19 English translations plus lots of other languages, including Arabic. Most translators work from the oldest texts available in the original languages. Some of these are very, very old.\nFor a demo of some of the difficulties translators face, paste a paragraph into http://babel.altavista.com/tr, ask it to translate it into a different language, then cut & paste it back in to translate it back into the start language and see what you get.\nThere is some useful stuff about bible translation on www.ibs.org.\nIn the 2nd letter from the apostle Paul to Timothy chapter 3 he wrote:-\n    14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,\n    15 and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.\n    16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,\n    17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.\n\nFind an up to date translation (e.g. NIV or NKJV in English) or Arabic if you find it easier, read it with an open mind and you will be blessed.\n\nShukran for your question.
