Why Convert?

[ronniv93]

Hi Anyabwile,


See, for me, I don't believe I'm falling the whims and corruptions of mere men. I've heard and read all the so-called proof that the Bible's been intentionally tampered with and altered. But, frankly, I don't see REAL proof.


There's lots of speculation and truth-twisting and sometimes, outright distortions and lies. So, when it comes to trying to prove the Bible false, I don't really even pay attention to that anymore.


Islam has got to stand on it's own, in my opinion. It can't stand on the basis of proving the Bible corrupted (which it's not).


And let's just say that they CAN prove it's corrupted.... that would NOT then mean that the Quran is true. I mean, I could turn to Mormonism or Bahai or Sikhism.


If you would like I can explain to you why I don't believe the Bible to be corrupted, but in my mind, that issue has already been settled with me.


I mean, there are old copies of the Quran that differ in the number of surahs contained in it or some wordings are little different between one text and another. I mean, this is something any studier of Quranic history acknowledges; they just "explain it away". So, I'm not hung up on this issue.


In a sense, "I've been there and done that".
