How do we know that the Koran is true?

Well, I gave you my answer that God would not purposely fill errors a scripture. But it is possible God can deceive as a punishment. What you make of following verse in the bible?

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12That they all might be ****ed who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Just a Correction: it doesn't say God won't guide them again if they repent and want to find the truth. It just says that Gods make them go deeper as a punishment and their lies become true to them. My be not the best explanation but you may get my point.
