Rainbow as a sign of Covenant was added later to the Bible by the narrators/scribes/clergy to attract the ancient audiences.
So, either, (a) you've seen and properly evaluated an earlier version of the Torah and can show the emendation, or (b) you're simply walking your dogma around the forum without a pooper-scooper. Which is it?

The First set of corruptions made in Torah by the narrators/scribes/clergy relates to wrongly depicting G-d and His attributes.

The second set of corruptions made in Torah by the narrators/scribes/clergy relates to character assassination of the prophets of G-d .

The third set of corruptions made in Torah by the narrators/scribes/clergy relates Jewish priests controlling and exploiting common Jews in the name of religion.

So, because Judaism isn't Islam it's corrupt?

Do you acknowledge this obvious bias or do you simply ignore it?

Paarsurrey, what is your logic that the Koran which was written hundreds of years after the Hebrew bible is the original whilst the Hebrew bible is the counterfeit? How can the counterfeit come before the original?

We are discussing here Judaism; and the corruptions made by the Jewish scribes/narrators/clergy.

We are not discussing here Quran.

Judaism--><--clergy, Scribes
It seems you are discussing your beliefs and putting them into Judaic Scripture, you are not technically discussing Judaism or Judaic belief in context.

Why don't you use some basic logic. In order for you or anyone to know with any certainty that "the Jewish scribes/narrators/clergy" made "corruptions" in a given area, you and they would have had to be there to know what the reality was and exactly how they supposedly corrupted it. On top of that, just because someone charges that there is some corruption, this doesn't necessarily mean that they're correct. On top of that, was the alleged "corruption" eventually corrected in later manuscripts?

Yes, there is some discussion in Torah and Tanakh about problems with whether "X" was transcribed accurately, and this is true when dealing with any historical document. It's pretty much an accepted axiom amongst historians that when we read historical accounts that we are reading these accounts according to the author(s).

No. You are making claims of corruption/changes, but have so far not backed up any of your claims. Your claims have zero to do with Judaism and only have to do with delusions in your head.

No, that isn't what is being discussed.

You claimed that because there is a scientific explanation for the rainbow that the ancients using it as a symbol of God's beneficence is a corruption.

But you have not backed up that claim.

That is what is being discussed.

It is a very silly argument. It's rather sad that he's totally unaware just how silly it is. IMO, Islam deserves better.

Example:

Genesis 3:8
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

Genesis 3 NIV

God is not physical; what He has to do with walking in the garden or to the cool of the day?

Can one hide from God?

Please elaborate.

Who said G-d isn't physical? You? What does your opinion have to do with these Scriptures? Nothing, you don't believe them, so that's that. No-one is asking you to believe anything.

I quote from Judaism 101:

&#8220;We are forbidden to represent G-d in a physical form. That is considered idolatry. The sin of the Golden Calf incident was not that the people chose another deity, but that they tried to represent G-d in a physical form.&#8221;

Judaism 101: The Nature of G-d

Of course one could differ with me with reason.
