However, after years of study it turns out that the DSS give substantial confirmation that our Old Testament has been accurately preserved... And are almost identical with the Masoretic text we have. A comparison study with the Isaiah Scroll written around 100 B.C. found among the Dead Sea documents and the book of Isaiah in the Masoretic text... Where found that the two were practically identical.
So does the OT consist only of Isaiah? What about the other Biblical books? The case is that the DSS didn't give full accounts on other Bible books except for some fragments, so actually these DSS don't give a full account on the OT, even for Isaiah, there is about 400 years gap between the time of DSS and the time of Isaiah, so i am not sure what these scrolls prove true in the OT?

It shows that contrary to some opinion the Jewish scribes took very seriously the copying of scripture. It's considered valuable evidence that the Old Testament Canon we have in our hands now was the same text Jesus knew and confirmed.
Really? Actually the apocryphal books are more than the biblical ones found in Qumran, in the DSS, you can find the apocryphal Genesis, apocryphal pentateuch, apocryphal Daniel, apocryphal Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Joshua and many other non canonical books as Enoch, words of Moses, Noah, you can browse this website archiving the DSS as an example:

So what canon are you talking about? This actually is a proof that early Jews didn't see the Bible the way you see it. And there may have been other books found which were not declared.

When talking of heretical sects .. Do you see the Shia's a sect or denomination of Islam? As within Christianity we have say Catholics and Protestants.. What of the Sufis and the Ismailis.. Would you consider these heretical? Or the Wahhabis... Where do they fit within mainstream Islam?
Well, at least all sects agree on the Quran. I am not talking here about Catholics and Protestants, i am talking about your Christianity and the other early Christian sects, actually they believed in different gospels.

I thought I had addressed issues in this thread in regards to Bible corruption and why I don't believe the case you have is that strong. Certainly not strong enough to dissuade me from my belief in the Bible as the enduring inspired revelation of God.
Well, it's up to you to be convinced or not, that's not mine. :)

Maybe my faith is stronger than your need for logic. If you build your belief on logic and someone one day comes along and destroys that logic with some scientific discovery or something.. What then? Whereas a belief built on faith cannot be broken.
Well, faith should be really stronger than logic when it is really proven 100% that it is really referring to God. If there is a doubt that historically it refers to God, then actually logic must be used here to check whether it really refers to God or not, if it refers to God, then only at that moment, I believe in it over anything else. You don't have evidence proving that your faith refers to God, that's the main point of discussion.

Depends what you mean by error. The Holy Spirit does not deal in error.. If you are talking of Gods revelation then there is no error. If you are talking of mans theological deliberations then as they are born from a mans interpretation.. Then as we know no one is perfect. :)
Well, what we are talking about were the errors by men in the Bible when you said (and correct me if I misunderstood):
Christians accept that as the Bible was at some point written by men and no men.. (As in mankind.. Not being sexist.. ;) ) we see textual errors but these do not detract from the core message.. As that comes from God and is divine.. Then it cannot be changed.. Even by the words of men.

To believe in Jesus one has to believe what He said about Himself and His teachings. I don't see how you can say you believe in Jesus because you don't really know Him. What are Jesus teachings according to the Quran..? To know Jesus is to love Him. I could not love Issa of the Quran there is nothing of substance to know the person. I don't wish that to sound disrespectful, and I truly apologise if it comes across that way. It's just how it appears to me.
Well, the teachings of Jesus in the Quran are the teachings of all other prophets, to worship God alone. There is nothing new in all messages as the truth doesn't change, but prophets come and renew it.

Not sure what you mean.. Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? I didn't think you did. I don't see any difference in sin. The only sin that counts is a sin against God. Sin isn't decided by a church father... But by God. Do you mean a sin against some religious doctrine? Sorry.. Think I will have to think longer on this last point of yours because the meaning is not clear to me. :) to be honest I would be concerned about a sin against God.. That bits clear to me.. :)
Well, I mean that church fathers adopted some unorthodox faith, Catholics have many differences in faith than Protestants, so what is the Holy Spirit doing? Where is the guidance of the Holy Spirit? These unorthodoxy opinions are supposed to be against pure Christian faith, which is supposed to be against God from your point of view, if the Holy Spirit is supposed to guide you to the whole truth as you believe Jesus told you, then where is his guidance to guide the church fathers to the orthodoxy belief and to solve the dispute between Catholics and Protestants? Either he is not guiding, which is against the Bible, or that he is guiding, but actually Church Fathers who are supposed to be transmitting your history and what Jesus said were actually blasphemers against the Holy Spirit i.e. non trusted, and that all Christian sects except for one are disbelievers and blasphemers against the Holy Spirit.
