I agree that some of the claims in the links I provided were erroneous.

I just want to make it absolutely clear, MOST of those claims in your first link were not erroneous; they were flat out fabrications.

But, if we think about the monotheistic religions as essentially the same lineage of teaching at different times (or in different regions)...

Uhh... Do we think that?

Maybe God has been fine tuning how he reveals himself to people over the years.

In which case he probably needs to drop the claims of all seeing, all knowing, and perfection in the next iteration, because if he is responsible for all of them, he's really been sucking it up big time for quite sometime now. Something that is all seeing and all knowing doesn't need to fine tune.

The Bible is an extension of the Old Testament, and the Quran discusses Judiasm and Christianity quite extensively because the God of Islam is the same as the Christian/Jewish God. I'd say there's a lineage there.
