You believe that your God demanded Jesus as a blood sacrifice for the salvation of humanity.
In my opinion, this is called a payment. Not forgiveness.
So how is your God all mercifull? I fail to see that.
Also, if we know that the Bible is just a translation and none of the authors were actual witnesses, nor even known people....how then can you believe that the Bible is the literal word of God?

God Witnesses that Islam is the Truth, and He is over all things a Witness (Quran).
The Jehova religion is falsehood.
They don’t believe in hell, and that most if not all people will die (which is true) but will never get resurrected.
Thus, they are disbelievers.
Anyone denying hell is a kaffir.
To God is our Certain return.

Hello, thank you for your questions
This is what we believe:
Jesus died so that humans could have their sins forgiven and receive endless life. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 1:7) Jesus’ death also proved that a human can remain loyal to God even when faced with the severest of tests.—Hebrews 4:15.Jesus’ sacrifice is the means by which God delivers, or saves, humankind from sin and death. The Bible refers to the shed blood of Jesus as a ransom price. (Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18, 19) Thus, Jesus said that he came “to give his life a ransom for many.”—Matthew 20:28
Jehovah has given us a wonderful gift—66 books collected into one volume, the Bible. The Bible is God’s message to us. The Bible was written by some 40 writers over a span of about 1,600 years, from 1513 B.C.E. to about 98 C.E. And the writers came from many backgrounds.
Still, all parts of the Bible agree. God is the Author of the Bible. (1 Thessalonians 2:13.) The writers did not record their own thoughts. Rather, they “spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.” a (2 Peter 1:21) God used his holy spirit to inspire, or motivate, men to record his thoughts.—2 Timothy 3:16.

Hello, thank you for sharing your opinion.
This is what we believe:
Hell (hades or sheol) is not a place of fiery torment, but rather the symbolic common grave of mankind, a place of unconscious non-existence. Gehenna describes a judgment of complete destruction, from which resurrection is not possible. Complete destruction does not allow for literal "torture" of the wicked, as the deceased person is not conscious. Many have striven to be pious out of fear of hellfire, but God does not want you to serve him because you are terrified of him. Rather, Jesus said: “You must love Jehovah your God.” (Mark 12:29, 30) Moreover, when we realize that God does not act unjustly today, we can trust his future judgments too. Like Job’s friend Elihu, we can confidently say: “Far be it from the true God to act wickedly, and the Almighty to act unjustly.”—Job 34:10.Marwan-Maroc

That non-existence destruction stuff is new stuff.Hello, thank you for sharing your opinion.
This is what we believe:
The disbelievers will get resurrected so they can see and be shown that they were liars (Quran).
Hell is not a symbolic anything. It is a real place.
And God is to be feared, anyone don’t fearing God doesn’t know God.
And none can say they are a believer until he fears God.
There is no protection nor help except that of God.
God is the Most Great.

Thank you again for your opinion. Please allow me to share my point of view:
“The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) The dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) If the soul dies and is unconscious, how could it suffer “eternal fire” or even the pain of everlasting separation from God?The idea of eternal torment is repugnant to God. (Jeremiah 32:35) Such an idea is contrary to the Bible’s teaching that “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) He wants us to worship him out of love, not fear of eternal torment.—Matthew 22:36-38.
The Bible often compares death to sleep. (Psalm 13:3; John 11:11-14; Acts 7:60) A person who is fast asleep is unaware of what is happening around him. Likewise, the dead are not conscious of anything. Yet, the Bible teaches that God can awaken the dead as if from sleep and give them life again. (Job 14:13-15) For those whom God resurrects, death is not the end of everything!

Thanks for trying, but unfortunately, you didn't give any satisfying answers. All you have done is provide verses from a "holy book" that most scholars question its authority.
Some reasons why the Bible cannot be the literal word of God:
1
It is not available in the original language when it was revealed. All we have are copies from copies from translations.
we all know that when a piece of text is translated in another language, it always introduces some sort of deformation or loss of the original information. So, you cannot claim that the english version you have is 100% the literal word of God.
2
There are clear cut contradictions which prove that it cannot come from God.not one or two, but many contradictions. God does not make mistakes
3
Who gets to decide which books are considered to be of the Bible and which books are not? Why do you reject to include other books into the bible just like the other sects of christianity? So which version of the bible is the true version and why?
4
There are passages in the bible that speak kinda bad about some prophets or even about Jesus which we cannot believe that as true.
Prophets (including Jesus) are pious and extaordinary people, carefully chosen to set an example for humanity, they are all righteous, they do not go around and kill someones husband just because the lust for her, they do not get themselves drunk and sleep with their own daughters,
they do not call someone who begs for help "dogs" just like Jesus said according to your bible.
We do not believe all that.
So, you have to adress all these points before you can use the bible as a reference.
