Muslims try to argue that the Bible has become corrupted. However, this is impossible.
The scripture says:
thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy Name. Pslam 138:2
The Hebrew word for name is שֵׁם (shem). This word has a very special meaning in the Hebrew. It is "THE NAME", "the celebrated name of God"," A designation for God", It represents God's renown, His Glory, His reputation, His fame. It is a title for God. The Jews use it in place of the sacred tetragrammaton יְהֹוָה (Yahweh).
Thus It represents God Himself and YET GOD SAYS HIS WORD IS ABOVE HIS NAME!
"Above all thy name - Above all else that thou hast done; above all the other manifestations of thyself to me or to the world. The word name here would refer properly to all that God had done to make himself known - since it is by the name that we designate or distinguish anyone; and, thus understood, the meaning would be, that the word of God - the revelation which he has made of himself and of his gracious purposes to mankind - is superior in clearness, and in importance, to all the other manifestations which he has made of himself; all that can be known of him in his works." Barnes Notes on Psalm 138:2
THUS IF GOD ALLOWED HIS WORD TO BECOME CORRUPTED, HE ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BECOME CORRUPTED AND IS NOT GOD!
