If this were true it would be the Quran of Mohammed, not Uthmans Quran. As Ive said before, Uthman, according to history (books listed many times
on this forum before) destroyed the original Quran so that no could corrupt it. We have no idea what the original held, we have no testimonies in history or
archeological documents saying that Uthman preserved the word of Mohammed.

As I have said before, the MESSAGE between versions of the Bible has NOT changed. If I want to read from a more "romantic" stance, I might read from
the KJV (Songs of Soloman, ICorinthians 13) whereas a good study of the bible generally leads me either back to the DSS or Papyrii or Codices. If I am being lazy that day,
I might even go for either the NIV or RSV. Again, the message is the same, the parables are the same.
