But the wicked altered what was said to them into a different saying, thus We sent down upon the wicked an affliction from the sky because they had transgressed.

[2:59] Today's Bible contains fragments from the books of prophets. Ezra is one of the Jewish Rabbis who changed the words of the Torah. The Pharisee-son-ofa-Pharisee Saul (Paul) and his followers radically distorted the message of Jesus. While Rabbis added Talmudic teachings, equivalent to Hadith and Sunna, into the Old Testament, Paul added his letters and polytheistic doctrines borrowed from pagans, to lure gentiles. Using God's scientific signs in nature and the revelation of the Quran, or using the methodology of Modern Textual Criticism we may be able to detect many of the distortions and additions in the Old and New Testament. For instance, the following verses do not appear to be from a Benevolent and Wise God: Genesis 3:6-16; Exodus 21:7-8; 21- 22; 22:18-19; 26-27; Leviticus 12:2-4; 13:6-11; 17:5; 24:13-16; 25:44-46; 34:5- 10; Numbers 15:32-36; 31:1-18; Leviticus 20:1-27; 21:14; 21:16-23; 24:13-23; 25:11-12; Deuteronomy 11:25; 12:1-3; 13:5-10; 17:2-7; 20:16-17; 22:23-24; 22:28-30; 25:11-12; Joshua 6:21; 9:6-27; Judges 1:4-12; 3:22,29; Judges 14:18; 15:15-16; 16:1-20; 1 Samuel 15:3; 1 Samuel 18:27; 2 Samuel 3:14; 2 Kings 2:23-24; 2 Chronicles 15:13; 36:17; Psalms 58:10- 11; 78:52; 119:176; 137:9;149:6-9; Isaiah 13:13-16; Isaiah 20:1-3; 44:28: 56:11; Jeremiah 6:3; 10:10; 12:1-3; 13:13-15; 16:4; 23:4; 48:10; 49:19, 50:6; 51:10-24; Ezekiel 9:5-6; 23:25; 34:2-10; Zephaniah 3:8; Zechariah 10:2; Matthew 5:17-19, 29-30; Matthew 10:34;19:12; 21:19; John 15:6; 10:14; 1 Corinthians 9:7; 11:6-9; 14:34; Ephesians 6:5; Colossians 3:22; I Timothy 2:11-15; 1 Timothy 6:2; Titus 2:9; Hebrews 13:20; 1 Peter 2:13-14; 1 Peter 2:18.
