“It is written”
It is written
A phrase I have heard often enough in my life. If “it is written”, it is beyond reproach and to be trusted.
Nowadays that is not quite as true as in the past as everyone can get on the Web and write. It is obvious that much does not qualify for the words beyond reproach and trustworthy.
When it come to religion, many refer to the written word of centuries past.
The problem with all the old writings is becoming obvious with time. Much of it was written long after the characters the words were referring to had died. There were translations, edits and insertions that were known by religious leaders and historians. They knew this for decades, but they did not admit it.
Holding back information crucial to a person’s belief is no different than lying.
The written works of man are not to be trusted, unless they can be verified.

paarsurrey: I agree with you on above.
Robert:”When it come to religion, many refer to the written word of centuries past.”
paarsurrey: If it is a revealed Word from GodAllahYHWH and it is secure and protected beyond doubt then it is as fresh as ever: e.g., Quran, it has never changed in all these centuries; it is in the same form as it was revealed on peaceful Muhammad’s heart by GodAllahYHWH primarily in verbal form though it was also recorded in the writing. Quran has no two versions in the Arabic language, and it is perfectly verifiable with the Verbal Form any time and in any country of the world, i think. Is it not amazing?!

Holy War -the peaceful version- with reasons, arguments and peaceful dialogue
The News:
One will, perhaps, love to read the following:
“Holy War”: Is it Armageddon? with its ” Peaceful Version”! 1
“Holy War”: Is it Armegiddon / Armageddon? – with its “Peaceful Version”! 1 | paarsurrey (wordpress.com)
One will be taken aback to note that Armegiddon/Armageddon is nothing like as one would have imagined or known so far. It is not to be fought with any physical and destructive weaponry and or the lethal arsenal of the day. It is peaceful and in fact, I understand, it has already started and it is sown like a seed!
It was a debate between the Pauline-Christianity (represented by Mr. Abdullah Atham) and the Second Coming 1835-1908 , that took place in Urdu language and was published then by the name “Jang-e-Muqaddas” in 1893 ( 22 May 1893 to 5 June 1893) in the then British India and has been recently translated and published in English by the name “The Holy War”:
