There are a few things that I haven't been able to understand through the research I've done. If anyone can help me to clarify these things, I would love to hear your thoughts.
I know that Muslims claim that the Christian Bible is not the final word of God and that it has been corrupted over the years. What I don't understand is how they can be so positive that the Quran is without any proof beyond what the Quran itself says and from the teachings of Muhammed.
Not too long the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in a cave and were in exceptional condition. These scrolls contain all the books of the Old Testament with the exception of Esther and upon translation there were found no major errors when compared with the Bible we as Christians still use and love today. In addition to this some events recorded in the New Testament are also recorded in other historical documents. How do you refute this evidence?
I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm genuinely curious. I would love to hear what you have to say.
Thanks,
Alison
