    I agree it's very likely the Bible is corrupted. But that doesn't prevent millions from believing otherwise, and in the past, using stuff from it for their own advantage.
    An instance - the story of Joshua and the sun standing still was used by the Inquisition to try to prove Galileo's correct finding that the earth goes round the sun was wrong.
    It's very hard to see why at any point prior to that in history, anyone should have thought this particular episode worth 'faking'. So I assume it's in the original and hasn't been altered.
    But - are you saying that Christians should reject the Bible and therefore Christianity?

    No. I don't have the right to say so; I think that we were talking about the OT and killing issue!
    if Christians want to keep their religion it is up to them,
    I think I have the right to defend the reality of Jesus and Gospel totally because I believe in them as well, each Muslim should believe in Jesus PBUH, and with all confidence Jesus will return someday and the world will become full of Justice, and I wish to be his disciple so I should do something if I am really serious to be his apostle such as I have to make his followers know him correctly or to convey the true message of him.
    *Quraan:
    Say (O Muhammad): O people of the scripture (Jews and Christians)! Come to a anequitable proposition between us and you, that we worship none but Allah (alone), and that we associate no partners with Him…then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims.
    *Quraan:
    And argue not with the people of the scripture, unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner)
    *Quraan:
    There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path…
    *Quraan:
    And say: the truth is from your Lord, then whosever wills, let him believe, and whosever wills, let him disbelieve…
    YoursSincerely,
