This is what I had said partially:
"In another Word, God does not Test, if His guidance is not there. For He is Just.
A Just Creator. The World is a Place of Test. If the Book is not there, there is no Test."
All the answers is in this verse, we need to read it carefully, and think on each word and part of it:
To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute 5:48
The statement in above verse: "But to Test you in what He has given you"
What "He has given you?"
The Answer is in the same verse:" He has given scriptures, and to each one (Each People in an Age) He priscribed Laws".
So, He gave the Scriptures and Laws, and God Test us by what He has given us:
"judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires"
Meaning, that Allah gave the Book as a guidance, so people may follow what God asked them to do, but not what their own selfish desires tells them. God Judges between us, by what He has given us.
As to raping, that is a form of Zina (Adaultery). Clearly, one of them Law of God, is not to do Adaultry. So, He prescribed that Law.
If a person follows the Law of God, He passes the Test. If He follows His own selfish desire, He fails the Test:
From the same verse:
"[Allah] judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires"
Thus, from the above verse, it is clear that, the Book of God is what people are tested by, and judged by. If Bible was corrupted, then how could God Test and judge between them if they follow what Allah has revealed or their vain desires?
Moreover, the Quran has said:
68. Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not over (these) people without Faith.
(The Qur'an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah 5)
Now, the same points from the Bible:
"Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him." PSALM 105:19
The above verse is clear. The Word of God must come, so, we are tested by His word.
"Then the Lord said to Moses, ...And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not." EXODUS 16:4
How strange, when both Quran and Bible say the same things in principles, people argue, these Books are not from the same God, or one of them is corrupted, and the other one is from Evil. Are not these arguments from the fact that people are biased?
Those were just 2 examples I gave. Please give scripture for all of your answers to my questions and I'll respond with my explanations as to what is wrong with your interpretation.
Thanks.
