The words of God in the Quran contains miracles to give proof to the people that the words of God are unaltered.

You believe the Quran is the truth? Here are a few things to consider about the "Word of God".

First of all, the true "Word of God" would not have been written by men. Do you think God would allow men to include their ideas and opinions in his word? I think not, but that's exactly what we have.

The true "Word of God" would not have men decide what went into it. Who do you think decided what writings went into the Quran? God? Absolutely not!

The true "Word of God" would not be hard to understand. Many people have to have someone to study the Bible with them because it is archaic and hard to understand. That means someone else's ideas and opinions are injected into their study of the Quran. The true "Word of God" would not need a translator and would be understood by all people the same way. The true "Word of God" would be provable, undeniable, and unchangeable by man. All I can say is this is absolutely NOT what we have! If someone tried to prove the Quran is the truth in a court of law, it would be thrown out of court! I believe it is wrong to preach and teach something as the truth and the "Word of God" when there is no evidence to back it up, and plenty of evidence to the contrary.
Incidently substitute the word Quran for the Bible and the same argument applies.
