Are there any Christians, past or present, who have memorized the entire Bible like Muslims memorize the Quran, and does the absence of someone who has memorized it indicate that it is not the word of God?

It is not rationally or religiously impossible for a Christian or anyone else to memorize the Gospels completely, but their memorization of them does not prove their authenticity or that they are the word of God. The Quran is distinguished by the fact that God has preserved it from loss and distortion, and maintained its continuous chains of transmission (), unlike the previous books which lost their chains of transmission and were subjected to distortion.
