Hi friend peacewithinreach
I don’t agree with you that the Bible is the oldest book in the world; it is I think a controversial subject. You may refer to wikipedia : “Hinduism is often regarded as the oldest religion in the world,[12] with roots tracing back to prehistoric times,[13] or 5000 years.”

This may require you a confirmation from the secular sources, which please do and confirm it with your research.
You may find that there are many claimants to it. The Hindus, the Buddhists, the Zoroastrians; may be many more.
You would please agree that there is no pride in being an old thing; if it loses it usefulness. Would you like to drink a cup of milk if you find it in an ancient monument? Perhaps you won’t; it must have become stale or poisonous.
The revealed books are for guidance; if the guidance has become diluted for any good reason; the book might have an academic utility but might have lost its utility as a code of life for many a reason. The book must be updated to reinstall life in it. A dead book that cannot solve the human corporeal, moral and spiritual problems is no good.
I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran and not as presented by Paul or the sinful scribes.
I think you would like to ride a new car instead of an old rusty and unreliable one.
I respect your religion; but this is my sincere view.
Thanks
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim
