I agree the Quran confirms the scriptures before the arrival of prophet Mohammed that such scriptures are inspired by God.as revealed by God. So we have to see if the Bible (whether Protestant or Catholic Bible) we have today is inspired by God. One way to know if the Bible is inspired by God is that contradictions should not be in the Bible as per Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is flawless".
One of the flat out contradictions is as follows;
Exodus 24:11 tells "They SAW God" whereas 1 Timothy 6:16 says "who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom NO ONE HAS SEEN or CAN SEE."
Another flat out contradiction is as follows;
2 Kings 8:26 says "Ahaziah was 22 years old when he began to rule" whereas "Ahaziah was 42 years old when he began to rule" according to 2 Chronicles 22:2.
I debated the inspiration of the Bible so I am not going to address the preservation of the Bible.Originally posted by 37818 View PostNone of those contradictions, flaws or errors as they now exist can be shown to be from the original autographs of said God-breathed documents.
It is obvious that one of the readings in the Hebrew text is wrong.
Without giving you any further explanation, the original reading has been deduced to be the one as found in 2 Kings 8:26. The reading forty-two in Hebrew of 2 Chronicles 22:2 is the reading which was the corrupted text. In 2 Chronicles 22:2 the NIV and NASB give the reading, "twenty-two.". . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV
. . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

37818 admitted that "It is obvious that one of the readings in the Hebrew text is wrong" so thank you 37818 for such admission.
37818 claiming "Again, known copyist errors do not constitute errors in the original autographs of Bible as God gave it" is a baseless assumption since none of the originals exist today. All we have are copies of copies of copies.
In anyway, preservation was not what I debated. I debated the inspiration of the Bible that for a book to be inspired by God, it must not have contradictions in it.Last edited by Same Hakeem; 02-11-2018, 12:21 PM.

Another example of doctrinal contradiction is where Exodus 12:29 says "Now it came about at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle." However, God killing the innocent firstborn of Egypt cannot be attributed to God because "the Soul that sins shall die" in Ezk 18:1.Last edited by Same Hakeem; 02-13-2018, 05:14 AM.

So when the Prophet Jesus was called good teacher by a young man, Jesus replied to him (Mark 10:18),"Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." So the Prophet Jesus being the only sinless man, what does that identify Him to be? (Mark 1:1. Proverbs 30:4. John 1:10.)
