I know you believe that the Revelations of God in the past were perfect in the way they were given. I believe this too. I propose that the manner in which each of these Revelations were recorded was perfect and complete for the people living in their time, to serve as their *perfect* and *complete* guidance. Otherwise, we must admit that God left an imperfect trace of His guidance for the people of the past. So if you and I lived in 300AD, we would be alone without God's Revelation.

Again, the problems of the Bible are irrelevant. Why? Because we have the Revelation of Muhammad, and now the Revelation of Baha'u'llah.
