: {If this were true it would be the Quran of Mohammed, not Uthmans Quran.}

: It is the Qur'an of our Creator/Allah, not Muhammad or Gabriel or Uthman.

: just a quick sum up, Allah sent Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an was memorized, the companions wrote it, all done during the life time of the Prophet.

: the rest that you falsely claim has been answered by brother Mustafa ASLAN http://www.debate.org.uk/weboard/debate/messages/793.html

: {no testimonies in history or archeological documents saying that Uthman preserved the word of Mohammed.}

: One word for you brother Malakh, "Science"

: {As I have said before, the MESSAGE between versions of the Bible has NOT changed.}

: Really, well, I will give you a tiny example:

: according to the KJV Hebrews 11:17 "By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,"

: and then that has been changed to sound less of a contradiction and the word begotten was taken out. KJV clearly shows that it is Ishmael who was sacraficed which makes all of Genesis/Hebrews tampered with and all the prophecies that followed.

: Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son," RSV

: This is just a word that has been removed to hide what has been clearly changed, this is not to mention entire passages being removed here and there.

: Peace and Blessings,

Hiya Mohamed, well, still travelling and working - nothing like a bad phone connection
in a hotel when youre trying to catch up here in the only social life one gets for a
short while :-)

Ok, maybe it is the difference in our mastery of the English language here that might
be causing you confusion, but I have to say, I see no difference in the two versions
you displayed here.....We are talking about Faith here:

Hebrews 11:1-2
1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
2 This is what the ancients were commended for.


By faith, Abraham was ready to sacrifice his only son .
We are often called to leave worldly connections, interests, and comforts. If heirs of Abraham's faith, we shall obey and go forth, though not knowing what may befall us; and we
shall be found in the way of duty, looking for the performance of God's promises.
The trial of Abraham's faith was, that he simply and fully obeyed the call of God.

The greatest trial and act of faith upon record is, Abraham's offering up Isaac, (Genesis 22:2 - Old Testament I might add) . There, every word
shows a trial. It is our duty to reason down our doubts and fears, by looking, as Abraham
did, to the Almighty power of God. The best wayto enjoy our comforts is, to give them up to
God; he will then again give them as shall be the best for us. Let us look how far our
faith has caused the like obedience, when we have been called to lesser acts of
self-denial, or to make smaller sacrifices to our duty. Have we given
up what was called for, fully believing that the Lord would make up all our losses, and
even bless us by the most afflicting dispensations?

If youve ever felt the 'calling' to do something on trusting God alone, you know what this
is talking about. In complete submission, we seek God's will prayerfully and
confirm His 'calling' (the Holy Spirit communicates Gods will to our spirit) through the
several ways, the Scriptures being one of those ways. (To insure that it IS God speaking
to us -another topic all on its own - knowing Gods Will in our live).
