...The Bible that Muhammad endorsed was that before 600 A.D. The truths that are in the Old Testament today, of the Messiah's sacrifice are the same as those of 600 A.D., for we have manuscripts of the Old Testament dated before Muhammad, and they say the same truths as the Bible today. So even if the New Testament has been changed, the truths of the Old Testament are still endorsed by Muhammad - those truths being that the Messiah would save the world from sin. By knowing that that is the message of the Old Testament, we know that the new testament is in align with God's eternal message. Going further, since the Koran is not in align with God's eternal message from either the Old or New Testaments, we know that it is not from God.

You give verses from the "most reliable manuscripts" of the new testament. Do you know that those 'most reliable manuscripts' are dated before 600 A.D.? So, those manuscripts are a testament to the truths that are in the Bible now, after being updated, if it was ever changed. That means what're in those manuscripts are what Muhammad endorsed, so that means today's updated version, if ever changed, will be the end of any revisions.

I have done my research on the transmission of the Biblical manuscripts, and have read many books on the subject. You can see some of my notes at the following site: https://www.angelfire.com/realm2/truth/msattestation.html . However, I made this when I was young, so it's not very in dept, but you get the point. And I hope you do some more research also, for the scholars that you get your information from that say the Bible had some copyist errors, are the same scholars that say the Bible is one of the most attested pieces of literature in the world and should be trust fully as authentic.

I hope that my response answers some of your questions. We could go deeper in any of the subjects, however, I also have many other people to talk to, so I will leave it at that for today. Keep seeking with your whole heart, as I am.
