How do you say the truth in the Bible?, when you know better than that

- Even though I showed you in here the truth about Jesus Christ in the Bible,
- Even though I showed you that Jesus has never mentioned the words (I am God, Worship me)
- Even though I showed you that Jesus worshipped God,
- Even though I showed you the ambiguous verses in the bible to prove that he is God
- Even though I showed you the explicit, perfectly clear verses in the bible that Jesus never said he is God
and he ordered people to worship the only God

- You are still adamant -

The readers very well know that the bible was changed by the Jews, the church and by everyone else during the centuries.
God never said He is going to preserve the Bible, The original scripts are lost, the only versions we find are in Latin and Greek, and those were translated in many languages including English, the earliest copy is in Latin is 200 year after Jesus Christ. So tell me how can you say that the truth is in the Bible
- you are aware translation is not as good as the original
- I am sure you understand the changing of words can affect the meaning of the whole thing -

Look at the verse "Before Abraham, I am"
See how many versions for a single verse, how different the meaning will be when reading different versions of the bible.

How do you know that the bible is intact?, every bit of history indicates that it was manipulated with.

I cannot understand how people become so rigid and cannot use their minds.

Contrary to the bible, the Holy Quran is intact in one piece, the count of the letters and words and verses and chapters are the same ever since they were revealed. People memorize it by heart till today. There is every indication that it is divine, and every indication that it is preserved.

Look at the numerical miracles alone
The Quran is based on the number 19
- the 1 represent the first number in the numerical system and the 9 is the last number in the numerical system.
- The beginning of every Surah starts "By the name of God the most merciful" The count of the letters in Arabic is 19 letters.
- The number of chapters in the Quran are 114 , this number is divisible by 19
- Numerical Value of the Word Allah in Arabic is 96 - surah 96 is the 19th Surah from the end of the Quran
- The last revelation of the Quran consist of 19 words
- The Surah 96 has 19 verses
- The Surah 50 called "Qaf" in it God repeated the words in many verses "the people of Lot" but in one verse, He mentioned "The brothers of Lot" if He had not done so the count of letter "Qaf" in the Surah would not be divisible by the number 19.
- Other number miracles in the Quran - chapter 2 is 286 verses - the verse "Thus we have made you (Muslims) a just medium nation ........." This verse is number 143 in the chapter (in the middle of the chapter)

I have many many examples of the preservation and divinity of the Quran -

And I showed you before examples how many scientific miracles, Mohammad and the people could not understand what it means - such as why would God swear by the locations of the stars not by the stars themselves. This is a clear proof that the verses are divine from God
