Was the original Bible (the unchanged version/first ever one) the word of God/Allah?

If so who wrote it?

Or has it always been man.s words?
 
we believe Allah has sent revelation to Jesus. But we believe it got tainted very quikly so we cant take anything of the bible nor reject anything from the bible.

my guess is the disciples/companions of Jesus wrote it down and it got defiled/modified very quickly so we cant accept it or reject it, we stamp a "Maybe" with it. What agrees wiv the quran and sunnah, we accept, and reject everything else.

Muslims believe in Injil i.e. words of revelation sent down to Nabi 'Isa 'alayhi salaam but they were never written down during his lifetime. These are parts of Bible which do not go against verses of the Quran. Some have been discarded to suit the desires of priests and clerics of Christianity. Those that contradicts the original teachings of Jesus are the ones written by men, one of them prolific writer "St." Paul whose writings contradicts so much of Jesus' teachings.

are you asking who wrote the revelation sent to Jesus down on paper word-for-word? (without any addition or subtraction) that may be the true word of God but if someone wrote it with changes/additions/subtractions and other people's ideas and thoughts then NO, that is not the true original word of GOd.

I don't think we're told who wrote it, the important part is that Allah revealed it to Isa (Jesus) and that's the one we believe in completely...

However if Isa was with us today, he will follow the Quran because it is the latest reveleation of Allah, and not the bible. (Even though we all believe both where revelation sof Allah), infact when Isa returns, and he will be asked 'lead us' he will reply 'i have come as a follower and not a leader'.

Yet muslims believe in the original bible, even though it was not written at the time of Jesus (unlike the quran and Mohammed)?

We believe in the Injil that was revealed to Jesus and these were included in the Quran revealed to Prophet Muhammad salallahu 'alayhi wassalam. From the Quran we are able to discern which parts of the Bible belong to the original revelation to Jesus.
 
Just because teh bible was written whenever it was, doesn't imply that there was no original bible that was revealed... even if it was in the form of words..

I just cant understand, if the bible was revealed (i guess to jesus) and written after his death how can this be beleived (talking about the first ever bible) as the words of god if it was written by someone else other than the person it was revealed to (jesus).
 
but we dont know of the specifics of how it was recorded, when and where etc..

perhaps it could hav been recorded the way hadiths where.. i dont know.. but we're not required to believe in any formo f the bible.. we're just asked to believe in whatever Allah revealed... the rest is irrelevent to us. alot of messages where very short lived, Isa was one of those.. taht's why he's coming back.. to finish it off (by preaching the Islam that Allah revealed to Muhammad)

You should probably ask this question to Christians rather than to Muslims. We'd stick to the Quran. Today's Bibles are not the our Guide-to-Life books.

like i sed, we believe a revelation was given to Jesus but it didnt have divine protection therefore it was tampered with.

The Quran was engraved in the hearts of many muslims, therefore it was preserved and remains in its original perfect condition.

it may contain some parts of the word of GOd remembered by those who were with Jesus. But then again it has been changed and revised so many times that you can't say it's excatly reliable anymore..

Why do think God chose Jesus to come back and not any other messingers?
