The quran is totally in line with the bible. It is many christians that have wrong believes about their own religion.\n\nThe bible says (in Romans) that only those people will be saved by Jesus death that died with Jesus on the cross.\n\nIf one sees the wealth of most christians and reads the new testament - it is easy to see that the so called christian cultures are not christian at all. Richess is clearly forbidden in the bible.\n\nI do not agree that moslims live very far away from the quran - of course there are people that have been led astray too - but generally I have the impression that most moslims take their religion more seriously - if only because there is a lot of social pressure on them to do so.\n\nIn the west - you see the reverse - at least in my country (the netherlands) the social pressure is to break every law that God prescribed to the people (you can read them most clearly in Mathew - as explained by Jesus).\n\nBut yes, I do feel every christian should at least read the Koran once.

Your question alone shows me that you have no idea what Islam is.  Let me put a question to you have you ever read the Holy Quran?  I know the answer is NO.  My friend read it before you talk or atleast visit my site to get some basics about Islam.  http://askmuslims.com\n\nHope to hear from you.  E-mail me....

I believe that also... If people actually took the time and read a reputable Quran.. they would understand that theres no book like... i mean not even Shakespeare could have written the Quran it such beauty... which proves it is the actually word of God.

Just looked thru' some of your answers and saw the usual crop of religous nuts claiming their's was the only true path. After a lifetime study of comparative theology I have come to the conclusion that all the world's religions contain the same central core of truth:- Love God, and love your neighbour. Everything else is just window-dressing!

Osama IS NOT the leader of Islam he is a radical terrorist who uses and manipulates the teaching of the Quran to promote his own political agenda. Islam preaches peace and submission. I was raised Cristian and and Converted. I was very ignorant before I picked up a Quran myself and read it. Please do not fall into the trap of believing only what you hear and see from the Media. I have many reason to back everything up and if you want a personal discussion about this I would love to IM.

You have your "ictions" mixed up.\n\nThe Quran is FIction.\nThe Holy Bible is NONFIction.\n\nHey, Good question.\n\nDon't feel ignorant, it is a common mistake.\n\nGod Bless You. Continue Seeking Truth.

The Quran is the last and final message of Almighty GOD sent for the guidance of mankind. All the previous revelations were cancelled as a result.\n\nThe Quran was sent to Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him) through angel Gabriel. Just like how he brought revelations from ALmighty GOD to Moses, Abraham and Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Them).\n\nBut as we know, all the previous revelations have got corrupted by materialistic men by the passage of time. It is only the Quran that has remained un-altered since 1427 years. It is a miracle sent by GOD. Imagine a book of hundreds of pages which can be easily memorised completely by millions of people. There are kids as young as the age of 7-8 years who have memorised it completely. The meaning of the word 'Quran' is something which is read and re-read etc. Infact it is the only book which is the most read since 1427 years.\n\nThe Quran is a complete code of life. It has scientific miracles, ethics, code of conducts, financial codes etc.\n\nWatch the facts.\nhttp://www.harunyahya.com/c_miracles_quran.php

Listening to something about the quran for me would be a complete waste of time.  I am a Christian.  My God (you know, the REAL one?) didn't tell us to kill others based on there religion.  Not all muslims are terrorists, but, unfortunately, all terrorists ARE muslim.  It is not my place to accept them, nor to understand them.  They are the wrong doers.  They are the ones that will burn in hell for eternity!  I wish I could see the looks on there faces when they get to hell, and instead of virgins, they have demons!

In which way monotheism is better than paganism?\n\nMonotheism as propagated by so called monotheist religion rather forces its followers to blindly follow . whatever concepts a small some 2000 year tribe had , has been forced on others, as the only truth. And in this quest it has shed too much blood through out the written history, and still doing it.\n\n"My god is the only true god " is not exactly monotheism whatever the followers will like to believe. It is more my god is better than yours concept and basically IT IS NOT MONOTHEISM. when you say any other god is false , you are accepting that there are other gods! though you are calling them inferior.\n\nPagans have much more respect for beliefs of others. And readily accept all forms of god as manifestation of same god. that is more monotheistic without insulting anyone. It gives freedom to followers to look for supreme according to there own perception.\n\nSomebody above claimed bible supports science! now that is funny seeing so many Christians refuting evolution theory.

ISLAM\nThe religion of Islam is the acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad .\n\nSome Basic Islamic Beliefs\n1) Belief in God:\n\nMuslims believe in one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone.  He is the true God, and every other deity is false.  He has the most magnificent names and sublime perfect attributes.  No one shares His divinity, nor His attributes.  In the Quran, God describes Himself:\n\n Say, “He is God, the One.  God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs.  He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.”  (Quran, 112:1-4)\n\nChapter 112 of the Quran written in Arabic calligraphy\n\nChapter 112 of the Quran written in Arabic calligraphy.\n\nNo one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown any act of worship, but God alone.\n\nGod alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe.  He manages all affairs.  He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for all that they need.  He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing.  In a perfect manner, His knowledge encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and the private.  He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it will happen.  No affair occurs in the whole world except by His will.  Whatever He wills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will never be.  His will is above the will of all the creatures.  He has power over all things, and He is able to do everything.  He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent.  In one of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad , we are told that God is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child.1  God is far removed from injustice and tyranny.  He is All-Wise in all of His actions and decrees.  If someone wants something from God, he or she can ask God directly without asking anyone else to intercede with God for him or her.\n\nGod is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God.2  Even Jesus himself rejected this.  God has said in the Quran:\n\n Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said, “God is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary.”  The Messiah said, “Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.  Whoever associates partners in worship with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the Fire (Hell).  For the wrongdoers,3 there will be no helpers.”  (Quran, 5:72)\n\nGod is not a trinity.  God has said in the Quran:\n\n Indeed, they disbelieve who say, “God is the third of three (in a trinity),” when there is no god but one God.  If they desist not from what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask His forgiveness?  For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.  The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger...  (Quran, 5:73-75)\n\nIslam rejects that God rested on the seventh day of the creation, that He wrestled with one of His angels, that He is an envious plotter against mankind, or that He is incarnate in any human being.  Islam also rejects the attribution of any human form to God. All of these are considered blasphemous.  God is the Exalted.  He is far removed from every imperfection.  He never becomes weary.  He does not become drowsy nor does he sleep.\n\nThe Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created the whole universe).  This word Allah is a name for God, which is used by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians.  This word cannot be used to designate anything other than the one true God.  The Arabic word Allah occurs in the Quran about 2700 times.  In Aramaic, a language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus habitually spoke,4 God is also referred to as Allah.\n2) Belief in the Angels:\n\nMuslims belie

I'm not a christian, but I always defended the islamic faith saying it was peaceful and good, etc. This was because I thought however misguided religions were still inherently good.\n\nWhile on this site I kept seeing questions and quotes from the quran that I thought seemed a bit strange and out of line with my previous thoughts, that religions were based on books that were inherently good.  So I thought Ok, I better read this one and check it out for myself, I have the read the bible so its only fair, (although I didn't believe the bible either).\n\nTo be honest, I won't go into detail so don't worry, I was absolutely horrified by what I found.  I do not like the quran, and did not find it to be the revealed word of a 'god'.\n\nEqually I found parts of the bible (spefically the OT) equally horrific.  I do like parts of the bible stories as myths though, and some of the teachings are good, but were already known about in philosophy without the need for religion anyway.

O People of the Book!\nDo not go to extremes in your religion: nor say of Allah anything but the truth.\nVerily, Christ Jesus the son of Mary was no more than a messenger of Allah, and His Word which he bestowed upon Mary,\nAnd a Spirit proceeding from Him:\nso believe in Allah and his messengers.\nSay not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you:\nFor your Allah is One God: \nGlory be to Him: \n(Far Exalted is He) above having \na son. To Him belongs all \nthings in the heavens and the earth. \nAnd enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. \n(SURA NISAA) Holy Qur’ân 4:171\n\nThere is not a single unequivocal statement throughout the Bible, in all its 66 volumes of the Protestant versions, or in the 73 volumes of the Roman Catholic versions, where Jesus claims to be God or where he says "worship me". Nowhere does he say that he and God Almighty "are one" and "the same person."\n"Yes", say the Trinitarians, the worshippers of three gods in one God, and one God in three gods, "Jesus did claim to be God!"..WHERE??..nor is the word "Trinity" mentioned in the Bible\n\nThey quote "I and my father are one"\nactually this verse does not stop here..it continues and Jesus says to the 12 disciples..."My Father is in me and I in ye"..the same "One" is used so does that mean there are 14 Gods..NO!.One in what? In their Omniscience? In their Nature? In their Omnipotence? No! One in purpose! That once a believer has accepted faith, the Messenger sees to it that he remains in faith, and God Almighty also sees to it that he remains in faith. This is the purpose of the "Father" and the "son" and the "Holy Ghost" and of every man and every woman of faith.\n\nThey quote John Ch.1 "In the beginning was the God ; and the word was with God; and the word was God"..This is a fabrication of the original scripture....Replace all the "word" by "God"..if "the word was God"...it becomes: In the beginning was God; and God was with the God; and God was God!...does it make any sense??..NO! actually in the original scripture the word used is God and the second one used is god (small g) This god in Greek means a godly man..\n\nThey also quote ...."and God gave his only begotten son...".NEWS FLASH!!! The word begotten son is not their in the original manuscript ..it is an interpolation of "messenger"...revised by 32 Christians scholars of the highest eminence!\n\nTo make a long story short Jesus never claimed dovinity nor talked about trinity because trinity canot be..God canot be in three forms in the same time....(having different makeup consttuents)\n\nBut Jesus said:\n...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18)\n"...I cast out devils BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD then the kingdom of God is come unto you." (Matthew 12:28)\n"I CAN OF MY OWN SELF DO NOTHING " (John 5:30)\n"I WITH THE FINGER OF GOD cast out devils" (Luke 1 1:20)\nBorrowed Power\nThe "power" as he says is not his, "it is given unto me". Given by whom? By God, of course! Every action, every word he attributes to God.\n\n28. "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand]."\n29. "My Father, who has given them to me, IS GREATER THEN ALL; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.." (John 10:29).\n\nGod canot be the trinity concept because the moment He would take human form, he ceases to be God;\n\nHope that answers the question;\nAnd Allah knows the best;\nMay peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be on the viewers\n\n"Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary:\n(it is) a statement of truth, about which\nthey (vainly) dispute.\n"It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah\n(God) that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him!\nwhen He determines a matter, He on

Jesus was NOT God, For the Scriptures plainly states that he was the SON of God, the father. \n\nGod Is One, Not Three\n\nTHE Bible teaching that God is one is called monotheism. And L. L. Paine, professor of ecclesiastical history, indicates that monotheism in its purest form does not allow for a Trinity: “The Old Testament is strictly monotheistic. God is a single personal being. The idea that a trinity is to be found there . . . is utterly without foundation.”\n\nWas there any change from monotheism after Jesus came to the earth? Paine answers: “On this point there is no break between the Old Testament and the New. The monotheistic tradition is continued. Jesus was a Jew, trained by Jewish parents in the Old Testament scriptures. His teaching was Jewish to the core; a new gospel indeed, but not a new theology. . . . And he accepted as his own belief the great text of Jewish monotheism: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one God.’”\n\nThose words are found at Deuteronomy 6:4. The Catholic New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) here reads: “Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one, the only Yahweh.” In the grammar of that verse, the word “one” has no plural modifiers to suggest that it means anything but one individual.\n\nThe Christian apostle Paul did not indicate any change in the nature of God either, even after Jesus came to the earth. He wrote: “God is only one.”—Galatians 3:20; see also 1 Corinthians 8:4-6.\n\nThousands of times throughout the Bible, God is spoken of as one person. When he speaks, it is as one undivided individual. The Bible could not be any clearer on this. As God states: “I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory.” (Isaiah 42:8) “I am Yahweh your God . . . You shall have no gods except me.” (Italics ours.)—Exodus 20:2, 3, JB.\n\nWhy would all the God-inspired Bible writers speak of God as one person if he were actually three persons? What purpose would that serve, except to mislead people? Surely, if God were composed of three persons, he would have had his Bible writers make it abundantly clear so that there could be no doubt about it. At least the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures who had personal contact with God’s own Son would have done so. But they did not.\n\nInstead, what the Bible writers did make abundantly clear is that God is one Person—a unique, unpartitioned Being who has no equal: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. With the exception of me there is no God.” (Isaiah 45:5) “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”—Psalm 83:18.\n\nWas Jesus Considered to Be God? No!\n\nWHILE Jesus is often called the Son of God in the Bible, nobody in the first century ever thought of him as being God the Son. Even the demons, who “believe there is one God,” knew from their experience in the spirit realm that Jesus was not God. So, correctly, they addressed Jesus as the separate “Son of God.” (James 2:19; Matthew 8:29) And when Jesus died, the pagan Roman soldiers standing by knew enough to say that what they had heard from his followers must be right, not that Jesus was God, but that “certainly this was God’s Son.”—Matthew 27:54.\n\nHence, the phrase “Son of God” refers to Jesus as a separate created being, not as part of a Trinity. As the Son of God, he could not be God himself, for John 1:18 says: “No one has ever seen God.”—RS, Catholic edition.\n\nThe disciples viewed Jesus as the “one mediator between God and men,” not as God himself. (1 Timothy 2:5) Since by definition a mediator is someone separate from those who need mediation, it would be a contradiction for Jesus to be one entity with either of the parties he is trying to reconcile. That would be a pretending to be something he is not.\n\nThe Bible is clear and consistent about the relationship of God to Jesus. Jehovah God alone is Almighty. He created the prehuman Jesus directly. T
