I always figured that, I always viewed the Old Testament as the first part, New Testament as the second, and Islam is more of an...'expansion pack' of sorts, as it's not entirely a 'game changer', but new things and events still occur. It's just a few thousand years of translation, re-translation^(who knows how many times), and the creation of contradictory copies that screws everything up. People claim that the Bible or the Qur'an are holy texts that never change or are 'perfect', yet we have recorded times and dates when things were altered, and there's no way of knowing our current versions are the real ones or even the finished product.
On top of the usual difficulties of translating something into another language, you get the additional problems of dealing with dead or ancient languages and the difficulties involved with having you holy book be written with no vowels. The written forms of both ancient Arabic and Hebrew involve consonants only which leads to guess work in interpretations.
The book of Mormon is New testament fanfiction not meant to fit with any of the cannon. (I'm joking, but not really....)
And yeah, supposedly God's name wasn't even properly written, it was made to be unpronounceable so it could not be used as blasphemy and could not be written down properly (since everyone did everything basically by ear) so it could not be destroyed (paper is fragile, and can be debased. It's just like Muslims and their hatred for Muhammad being drawn.) In fact, Allah is just Arabic for 'God', and we're not even sure YAHWEH or Yhweh is even correct.
