They are only watered down and sometimes lost in the translation because of man.... but never in their original form.! Yes but we of course don't have the original forms, now do we? The Verse makes no stipulation as to say that God's words will be "watered down" and "lost in translation." In fact, it doesn't give any type of conditions. In Islam, we are told that God's words have no contradictions. God does not Contradict himself. Further, the Bible tells us that God is not the author of confusion yet we have mo denominations in Christianity than fingers on my hands. I have a problem with contradictions. You may not. It may be ok for you to accept the Bible in its present for knowing of the small contradictions. All I can tell you is you may not be aware of larger contradictions that also exist. I don't see how you can accept a Book you know is not all of God's words (after all, if they were, no contradictions would exist). That's a problem for myself. But, it is your life and you can always choose what you believe. May the Peace and Blessings of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Be Upon You. Ray
