You should reconsider. The Bible is the true word of God and he wants you to accept his free gift. If you don't, you will regret it for eternity, God loves you friend.

You sure hate Ocasio-Cortez a lot for someone who seems to like free gifts.

How do you know the Torah isnt the true word, and you're backing the wrong horse. Or gag, what if the Koran is the only true one, and Jews and Christians were wrong and not making it to heaven...

Because the bible is unlike any book in the history of Earth. It has (numbers are approximate) 2500 prophecies, of which 2000 have come to pass.
I know what you're going to say. Jesus said (I'm paraphrasing) he doesn't speak plainly because if he did even the unsaved would be able to have all their prayers answered. Meaning that if there is no element of insight (given by God which comes from reading his word) unbelievers could just use the bible like a tool, or just doing what the letter of the law says.
Also, God actually spoke to me (in my head) when I was praying super intensely to him kind of recently. It wasn't Allah or Moses I was praying to, it was the god of Jacob, Isaac and Abraham.

Not one part of the Bible makes sense until you understand the whole.

With respect, I wouldn't go that far, you can read plenty of chapters or verses and gain understanding from just a single page. God enlightens us by reading his word.

How can it be the true "word of G-d" if it was written, translated, edited, etc, by men?
It would be great if you could focus on the question being asked and not go onto some tangent.

Was the Koran written by Allah?
No, it was written by a human.
God being who he is, has a lot of power. Do you think he would allow us to change, mistranslate or edit/remove anything from his word without his consent?
If you were God, would you write a life manual on how you want people to act during this physical existence? If so, would you allow us meat sacks to change it for their own purposes? To pervert or abuse it in any way?
I wouldn't, this seems like common sense, which God gave us.
