The same objections raised even by Jews.

Look up Blasater1960’s posts.
I did not going to read all posts through, and though i see he was countered, yet i did not see the argument that the texts where changed, while Islam also believes the Torah was changed, and somewhat affirms the Injil, though there is wide spectrum of variance in the attitude towards the Bible among Muslims.
The apostle Paul, one of them himself states thus....
1 Corinthians 1:18-31 18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Of those who fancy themselves intellectual elites and sneer at those who have faith, the cross is folly to them. I'm sure you know the type.
Why don’t you share the one or you that you find most compelling?
“ BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” They? no, SHE WILL CALL him Immanuel. Not so inspired eh?
God's Word IS inspired - it is blaster who is not.
A mother names her son 'Immanuel' - so what does she and everyone else (THEY) call him? 'Immanuel'
Also, when two are married they are considered 'one'. So we hear in our personal life, what did they name or call him? Or what did she name him? And that is what the parents/family/friends - THEY - call him. So whether it is 'THEY' or 'SHE' and "call' or 'name' - 'shall or will' it is all the same.
Blaster obviously didn't read or understand this .... "He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." @ Cor 3:6
Your mentor, blaster, is hung up on a word - when it's the Spirit that gives Life to His Word. It is God who makes us competent, not ourselves. So blaster or you trying to be competent here - without God's Spirit - is just not going to happen.
Not so inspired eh?
Wrong. It's more like the blaster what God's Word calls him - a 'natural' man, 'a person without the Spirit'. It appears he overlooked 1 Cor 2:14 OR did read it and is hell bent in proving it is not true - when he, himself, proves it is true by reading his words Not so inspired eh?.
"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned ONLY THROUGH THE SPIRIT." 1 Cor 2:14
Question is why are you, blaster and others trying to convince those who are spirit filled Christians - the very ones who DO understand God's Holy Spirit inspired Word - that HIS Word is not true and/or not inspired? Perhaps digging deep will reveal to you what your beef really is. For it is your beef, not ours.
God is no respector of persons - so you were given the same choice to have what WE have but you chose differently. So don't say we don't have what you have chosen NOT to have. It's not rocket science as neither is 'name' and 'call', 'they', 'she' 'shall' 'will' is. For even a 'natural' man can 'get' that.
I'm not disputing your choice to be an atheist - so who is the angry one here? When someone is telling you the Truth, you can dispute it all you want - remember, it is for YOUR sake that they do it, not their's. All we do is 'tell' someone, it is YOU who 'chooses' your own destiny.
I'll leave with this - God gave everyone a knowledge that there is a God. It is up to you to seek and find that inner knowledge given to you. May you realize that you looked in all the wrong places.
