Light Your reason #2 is not really convincing as God did not succeed in protecting his Word from corruption before the Quran was revealed. As of the reason #1 imitations of the Quran have been written. But the challenge is impossible to meet as the exact terms of it are different with every...

That is what I always heard too.

I would translate "wa mâ qatalûhu wa mâ Salabûhu, walâkin shubbiha lahum" as: "They did not kill him and not crucify him. It only seemed (or appeared) so to them."

If "God created humans in his image. In the image of God he created them" is wrong, then why do you quote it? To show that the Bible can have mistakes in it?

Why not peace before Jesus returns ?

What I find great with Christians is that they have a very critical insight of their own scriptures and are quick to accept all the discoveries that scholars and linguists have found. They even turn those critical views into an advantage by showing that their religion easily resists them. On the...

Amica Your sentence doesn't mean anything unless you give details on what you understand by "tampered with". That argument is of no value to Christians as they think God is able to protect his revelation, and has supervised every "tampering" when they occurred. Muslims have the same faith in...

If a revelation were from God it would be perfect and unique and men could only believe in it. It would leave no room for another revelation. Different revelations are the best proof that they are not from God.

Only one God but at least three different revelations.

Redindica Probably the Jews and the Christians called themselves Jews and Christians, as for the pagan Arabs I have no idea how they called themselves. I am sure a Muslim from the board will precisely answer your question.

Thipps I apologize. I just lied when I said that Muhammad's favourite wives were Khadija and Aisha. I also lied when I said that Khadijah was deceased when he married Aisha. Could we please stay with the topic and not start another discussion on the evaluation of the lapse of time between...

Thipps My opinion is based on what I have read and heard like every other person on this board. It is exactly the same as Abdullah's (maybe I should change my name into an Arabic one).

Thipps Muhammad's life belongs to history, not only to Muslims. If I am the sole non-Muslim who gives his opinion on this board I am ready to apologize.

On the contrary I think that we have a good knowledge of religions in Arabia before Islam. About Arab paganism we know their different gods, goddesses, places of worship and some of their rites [text removed]. As of the various other religious communities (Jews, Christians, heretical Christians...

I think it was first Khadijah then Aishah. Khadijah was deceased a long time ago when he married Aishah.

Aidyl Nurhadi You must start another thread if you want to talk about the "pristine purity" of the Bible. If you are a religious person you know that God does not let his Word be lost. Whatever changes in the Bible, Christians and Jews know they have been done under God's supervision.

Aidyl Nurhadi Sorry but I did not say what you ascribe to me. I just said that the writers (no names and no numbers of them given in my post) and/or the transcribers who copied out the original Gospels, could have harmonized them by correcting the discrepancies between them.

Yaqinuddin What you call the Bible are more precisely the Gospels. The best proof that the Gospels are not corrupted is given by yourself. If they were corrupted the writers would have harmonized the four descriptions of the resurrection. Christianity, contrary to Islam, is a religion of the...

Muslims seem to believe in predestination. So I agree with Kiwimac that if a person is born with a tendency to homosexuality it must be from God. If it were not from God that would mean something escapes from God's omnipotence.

Pharma4ever See verse 7:179 "... They have hearts and they do not understand with them, they have eyes and they do not see with them, they have ears and they do not hear with them..."
