To Don: Bible is corrupted.

Hi Don,

You might have known about the formation of the Church of England by HENRY VIII who rewrite the Bible for his divorce and remarriage although the Bible itself condemned his marriage. He had right to have a divorce, but forbidden by man-made Holly book. I don't think divorce was forbidden by God. Just man-made rule overrided by a clever and powerful King.

Actually, I can give you more recent example no need to go back to history books. There is a big pressure on churches about homosexual partnerships. This time situation is very difficult. Homosexuality is forbidden by all religions. Who can dare to change it? There are some. Anyway, sooner or later being a gay bishop will not be condemned by any church. Otherwise, Christianity may not survive without supporting Western values that serve for human desires not God wishes.

Why not other books but Quran only is preserved? Answer is very simple because it is the last version of holly books coming from the same source.

I have one more suggestion to you. You have internet. You can access all holy books in your language. Take your time. Read all of them. If you want you can consult to any body who has more experience on theology. You can also use some databases to find similarity and basic differences between other religions. Bring some parts of all the holy books together to create a new version. Can you? Quran says impossible.

Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him, if not a messenger, should be a genious who understood all the religions very well and made Islam very clear to his followers. The memory size of his brain should be at least double or triple to use huge amount of knowledge at the age of 40. Remember that humans can learn quickly at very young ages not getting older. No body saw him while writing and reading. He was illiterate. Creation of a new book, new religion, new state without writing and reading is amazing success.

Yours
Nuray
