Unfortunately, it will be too late then for so many people who will then discover that they have missed the salvation that is only found in Christ. For the followers of Jesus, you see, this isn't at all about trying to be right. It is about rescuing sinners from destruction.

Let me just ask a couple straightforward questions. First, do you deny that the Bible is the word of God? Second, what does "have no basis" mean? You've said that neither the Bible, nor Christians, nor Jews have any "basis." I don't know what you are talking about? Basis for what?

I love it when people say something like "do some research" and then follow it up with a comment that betrays the fact that they haven't actually done any real research of their own. Please demonstrate for us the relationship between Biblical textual transmission/variants and the rise of denominations. Or for that matter, please give us examples of additions and changes to the Biblical text that have influenced significant theological developments among various Christians groups.

do some research. they not saying the scrolls are false, they are saying through translations, people keep adding, and adding, and change words to fit there understanding. and so on so on. thats why there are so many dominations. some believe in baptism, some beleive in repentence. some beleive that when u fall from grace u were never saved. when others say no once saved, always saved. so no the original scrolls havent been changed, only interpretations. Paul gave his own understanding.

Do you have the original manuscript of quran? do you have historical data about the date it was written?

[cclorance]

There is available an immense mountain of manuscript evidence (including more than 5000 in the original Greek for the New Testament) that enables us to translate not only into English but into any other language with extremely high degrees of accuracy. However, at the at of the day, the best Biblical scholars do rely on Greek and Hebrew. Sam is no exception. Is there a specific Bible verse that you think Sam wrongly translated from Greek or Hebrew?

[Dragonlady66]

How come you don't respect the fact that the Bible was not written in English and the english translation is therefore not the Bible?

Muslims say Jesus is like Adam, born with no father.... but why then does Jesus have a mother? it makes no sense... Christ is God. Amen

mmmm good point because in your logic jesus needed a mother like exactly cuz he jesus peacebe with him needed a mother to feed him!! therefore jesus is not God

Islam began with Muhammad not Ismael.
