Hello all
This question is to muslims i am not interested in the thoughts of others on this subject.
Question:1
I know that muslims claim that the Bible scriptures have been tampered with. What i would like to know is this. Is there any sections/ books of the bible that muslims believe have not been tampered with?
Question:2
If all the books of the Bible have been tampered with and changed. Do muslims have a list of examples of the tampered scripture and a list of the corrections?

Sup Adstar,
Well as a muslim the problem is that we dont know what has been tampered with and what hasnt.....and remember that God says that he isnt the author a confusion. So Muslims can read the Bible AND the Koran but when there is a difference between the 2 then we are required to believe the Koran.Remember that Muslims are suppose to also learn Arabic so that they can read the Koran as it was revealed and not depend on translations(or mistranslations) because as we both know alotta words just dont translate properly between languages.One also has to consider that there are suppose to be at lest 120 different versions of the Bible in existance(when one considers hebrew,catholic, protestant etc....) so which one? Also consider something as simple as the Genology of Jesus(pbuh) not being the same between the two different Gospels....

[Math. 1:18]
The genealogy of "Jesus" contains 28 names of his fathers.
[Luke 3:23]
The genealogy of "Jesus" contains 42 DIFFERENT NAMES of the fathers of Jesus
than we find in Mathew. (Sometimes myChristians friends attempt to excuse that error by
saying that the other descendants belong to Jesus threw his mother, while we
find that his genealogy belongs to Joseph the carpenter, but we can analyze
the contradiction clearly when we find two different fathers for Joseph the
carpenter. His father in Mathew is Jacob while his father according to Luke
is Heli.)
Aslo the death of a Central Figure" Judas:
Math. 27:5]
Judas went and hanged himself.
[Acts 1:18]
Judas fell headlong, and burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed
out.
etc etc.......
You see there is an Hadith which states that a Muslim knows what he should do and he also knows what he shouldnt do and if there is any doubt or if he/she (the muslim) isnt sure of what to do then the best thing to do is to stay away from it. I am not answering for all muslims only for myself.......peace
