Re: ...Studying Bible...
Quran says over and over again to observer, learn and then make a judgement. In the end you will agree that whatever is in Quran is rightous and is the perfect. (sorry don't have enf time to post references at the moment).
It is advisable that you read Quran (translation etc) first so you know in general where you stand. I had Gen. Education classes in my university and you come to know some of their beleifs (although it wasnt' religious class). It just makes your beliefs stronger because you can see how confused they are about very simple stuff - even relying on logic they should come to same conclusions as yours but it just seems they are quite stupid (regarding lot of matters)
