Whoaaa.... slow down, Anyabwile.
We have NOT established that the Bible is corrupt. You seem to keep wanting to put those words in my mouth and in reepicheep, but neither of us has said that.
And yes we did recently go through this issue of Quranic variants and frankly, no sufficient response was given then, and so the issue remains open.
I gave links then to information that supported it FROM MUSLIM SOURCES and as usual, when I did that, it was ignored and not addressed. No one had an answer for that.
Nonetheless, I will post the link again.
Ulum Al-Quran
And here is just an excerpt from the book:
Quote:In Sura al-baqara, which I take as an example, there are a total of 101 variants. Most of them concern spelling, some also choice of words (synonyms), use of particles, etc.
I hope to find another book that goes into more detail on this subject.
As for my theology course, believe me, they have NOTHING to say about Islam. We learn THE BIBLE, pure and simple, not other religions.
