Arabic in the days of Moham-
med, and was circulated
among the Christian Arabian
tribes such as Himiar, Ghas-
san, Najran, El-hira, and
others. ..Also, it was in the
hands of Mohammed himself,
who, of course, read it as did
those who came before him.
(Jonah 94); therefore, if there
was any change or alteration
in the Bible, the Muslim
accusers would have kept the
original to prove their cause
and claims.
    6. By the seventh century
after Christ, the copies of the
Bible were in the thousands,
whether in the original
languages or in the different
translations, circulated in
the hands of the Christian
and non-Christian sects, in
every country and every
nation; and there was no
military might, nor civilian
authority, nor religious inf-
luence, nor governmental
powers, that could have the
legitimate warrent or legal
jurisdiction that would enable
it to reach out to every part
of the world where copies of
the Bible existed, confescate
them, and change them. The
job of collecting the millions
of copies of the Bible was and
still is most impossible. More-
over, a big number of the
ancient manuscripts, in the
original languages and in
different translations, are
found in a number of major
museums. Moreover, it was no
surprise that all those copies
were in perfect harmony.

Furthermore, the Bible does
distinguish itself from all
other books in that it is the
only Book that has the most
ancient manuscripts in exis-
tence today, and no other
book can make that claim.
Therefore, anyone who
accuses the Bible of being
altered is denying history
itself, and that is an attitude
of great ignorance.
