As a test of the improbability of accuracy in any version Bible or the Koran, try to exactly reproduce the phrase in post #6( I think) from 2nd Chronicles 7:14 NKJV WITHOUT going back to read it. Unless you are a student of the Bible, what are the chances of duplicating this with 100% accuracy. I have a very hard time believing human beings with their limited memory, tendency to slant things to their liking and down right lying could relay stories for thousands of years in both aural and written form without some errors (to be kind) slipping into the text.

  Well, who do you think has been translating and copying the Bible over its written existence?- and they weren't relying on their memory either! If your assertion that a text cannot be copied accurately is all that stands between you and a genuine faith in Christ, I strongly urge you to do even a modest amount of research on this topic. Even if you assumed that God played absolutely no role in the preservation of His Word, you will be convinced of the accuracy Bible copies (known by comparing modern texts with recently discovered ancient texts) and translations.

It is impossible for humans with the best of intentions to relay information accurately for centuries. If you only look at how things are twisted on this forum you will see even us 100% honest conservatives tend to only relay one side of an issue.

Even if I am wrong in my statement above (unlikely) the translation process to other languages is iffy at best.

I simply do not trust humans to be accurate and truthful. Remember our last President?
