Bible Verses About Corruption

Muslim friends, please, forsake the lie of Ibn-khazem (Hazm) that the Bible has been corrupted. It is a lie and it makes fruitful, intelligent discussion of Christianity vs Islam impossible.

QUOTEMuslim
"How can you say, 'We are wise, And the law of the LORD is with us'? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes Has made it into a lie. Jer 8:8

Please read the context of this verse from Jer 8:4-9. What is being said is that by neglecting the law, the Jews made it of no effect, vain, a lie.

A parallel passage is Matt 15:5-6:

5"But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,"

6he is not to honor his father or his mother' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

Also there are plenty of passages in the Bible that warn of those who would corrupt the Word of God--if they could--but they cannot--because it is God's Word--He preserves it. The passages in the Quran that were cited are simply parallel to these passages from the Bible:

For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2 Cor 2:17

but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2 Cor 4:2

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. Rev 22:18-19

You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Deut 4:2

Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it. Deut 12:32

Every word of God has proven to be true. He is a shield to those who come to him for protection
Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar. Prov 30:5-6

As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; Eph 4:14
