A'udhu billahi min al-shaytan al-rajeem.\nBismillahi al-rahmani al-raheem.\n\nAstaghfirullah!\nAstaghfirullah!\nLa ilaha ila allah.\n\nMay God have Mercy upon your soul.\nMay God grant you the insight of Truth.\n\nI would suggest that, you actually take time to read the Qur'aan (there are free traslations online) as well as discuss Islam with muslims.  It is foolish and dangerous to speak what you know not of, and even more dangerous to pretend what you are not.\n\nGod be with you.\nPeace be with you.

Thank you for your beautiful words. \n\nThe Qur'an is full of love and is truly inspiring even for non-Muslims. It is even more beautfiul in Arabic.\n\nJust so you and others know, nature--lover is WAY off.

I do, I struggle with it.  i do just that, I read it like there is some very good history to it,  I don't try and get science out of it.\n\nI am receiving in the mail this week or next a qu'ran and I intend to read this also.\n\nI have no intention of converting to chrsitianity or islam, but believe both books, bible and qu'ran,  can hold a special place in my intellectual moral and spiritual growth,\n\nI come here often and ask about contradictions in the bible,  i believe the books were altered by man even within the first gospel to the last,  to rehash the story,  not that it changed the meaning,  but that it changed,\n\nthe best example of what i mean is the two men on the cross are mocking jesus,  then 20 years later the gospel account has one asking for forgiveness,  and this i believe is to win more converts, i dont know for sure that happened, why did the earlier one leave it out?\n\ni wrestle with that, do you realize i spend an hour thinking about that yesterday, and this for me is something real i think about,\n\nand i come here and ask about it,  and its hard cause most of what i do is kid and joke around,\n\nbut indeed,  the book you speak of, bible, is a good one,  a challenge, its not your challenge to give,  it is clearly a book with such a huge cultural impact anyone who doesnt read it,  is missing out on joining the human race\n\ni wish everyone could read this answer to see what is in my heart, instead of the clown around stuff i type out when im in a bad mood

I've written my own book which I like to believe is interesting :P \n\nIt's basically about:\n1-God (His qualities, what He wants from us..)\n2-The stories of the prophets of God (lessons that can be learned from them, interesting stories)\n3- The history of Islam/life of prophet Muhammad PBUH.\n4-The Holy Qur'an (authenticity, greatest achievement of the Arabic language)\n5-The Misperceptions of Islam (e.g. Misinterpreted verses of the Qur'an)\n6- The Hereafter (i.e. Death, Judgement Day, Hell, Heaven - all in detail)\n\nThe good thing i guess about it is that the book can be read starting from any chapter. So people who are interested, for instace, to read about prophet Joseph, they can just go to his chapter and not read anything else\n\nhttp://spaces.msn.com/slimayn/\n\nPeace be with you

I haven't read it.  I have heard it's very good though.  It's by C.S. Lewis and is a parody-like book about a demon named Screwtape who writes to his cousin Wormwood about how to tempt Christians.  It's a pretty creative way of writing about temptations Christians have and I've always been interested in reading it since I first heard about it.\n\nFor a good synopsis of the book you can go to the book's website page on what it's about here:\n\nhttp://www.biblestudyinfo.com/screwtape/synopsis.shtml

This book is Harper Lee's masterpiece. I like the symbolism it inculdes very much. Are you a good reader? Did you read the Da Vinci Code? Tell me what you think about it.

Yes, I read it and found it very interesting.  The reader should keep in mind, though, that the author does not claim to be anything but human, that is, he does not claim to be God made manifest in a human form like Moses, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, The Bab, and Baha'u'llah.  Therefore, his interpretation of what God is revealing to him is subject to error.  Only the Manifestations of God are perfect and flawless.  Even the highest saint is still human and subject to error.\n\nwww.bahai.org

IT is the holy Qura'n . Which begins  with the statement, ' This is the book, whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun.(the pious and righteous persons who fear  Allah much) [Revealed by Allah The Almighty.]\n\nSaghir

There are four versions, and I mean by "version" accepted cannon and not translations because obviously there are thousands of those, of what people refer to as the "Bible". The Catholic version, which has 73 books in it. The Protestant version, which has 66 books in it. The Coptic version, which has 75 books in it. And the Jewish version, which has 49 books in it. These four versions cover two specific faiths, Christianism and Judaism. Of all those books NOT ONE original document or even a known trustwothy COPY of an original document exists. Of the five major world monotheistic faiths (Christianism, Islam, Judaism, Bahai, and Sikh) only ONE can rightly claim and prove via historical documentation, that in turn can be proved correct, that its Holy Book has never been altered or ammended. And that faith is Islam. The Koran is a beautiful Holy Book, filled with light and wisdom. I own various translations and at least one copy in Arabic (true Koran) that was a gift to me from the Saudi Arabian Embassy. I've read the Koran more than any other religious text. I am not Muslim. BUT ... I am honest with myself and others. A lack of honesty and open mindedness on my part would in no way alter the Truth. And the Truth is that Holy Koran IS the ONLY uncorrupted religious text in existance today. People of faith need to be honest enough to admit that and open minded enough to read it, and THAT with an open mind. They are not being fair to THEMSELVES when they make a decision about a thing without first having investigated it. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

My friend, anyone considering ANY form of Christianity or worship of ANY Christ should do so only after reading the eye opening text The Hiram Key by Robert Lomas and Christopher Knight.  Their research into Masonic ritual has led them to uncover truths long kept secret by the Church for more than two thousand years.  The book is both frightening, and at the same time seems to be authentic.  It discusses the Illuminati (and NOT the Dan Brown Illuminati everyone seems to be so familiar with), Freemasonry, and their links to early Christianity; the origian teachings of Jesus Christ, before the Church decided what should be written.  The book is powerful, and revealing.  I reccomend it to anyone with an open mind who is seeking a high truth than whta is given to us by those who know nothing!\n\nAve,\nShawn

Nice book. (If you’re a sadist)\n\n\n(edit)\nWhy would the old testament be in the book if this god decided to change his cruel, voilent and hatefull ways. Then you shouldn't present the old testament to me. If I tell you "Hey man, here is the word or GOD, the creator of all the universe! He is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-present!!!! ..But why then is there a part in his word that doesn't apply to our time?? I thought he is all-present which would mean his word will be timeless.

First what is a Holy book and what makes it Holy? Can mankind just say a book is holy and that is it? Is that national law, international, universal law, or is it some greater law of a greater area greater than the universe? \n\nDon't mind me I am always confused for I at times don't have any idea what is really being considered but I don't want to offend anyone. Maybe I should just stand by so others will think I am wise but us stupid people do like to show it and ask questions to affirm it.\n\nI may be wrong but I think that a Holy book is holy cause one says or thinks its Holy. I have two books that I want to use as a comparison. One is a Holy bible cause the word Holy is printed on the cover and the other is not cause the word holy is not printed there. As far as contents both have almost identical words and do cause the same thoughts to come to mind when I read them one at a time or compare them side by side. Of course it ain't over till its orer so I will just wait. Maybe that Holy book will eat up that other book or make that other book just disappear - who knows. It seems all things do in their time occur and Mr Murphy says if it can it will. So I will be patient.\n\nI do respect another who wants to have a Holy Book - that is his choice and I only ask him to respect my position of not doing so and I will respect his position of his choice. Please no war and let us do reason together rather than fight insisting one or the other is wrong or right. Does it really matter anyway?\n\nReally is it the fact the book is considered Holy or is it in the fact of how one does radiate the effect of the book to others? Is it not in the glow of a lamp that does provide the light so one can know the lamp is turned on and of value or not of value for those who want to stay in the dark.  Again I am just making comments and might be wrong again. so just take it as a value if such is to you. If not just ignore it like most other things that do exist all around to be used or atleast observed.\n\nI personally do see a light far away if I am in the dark but in the light some times I have a hard time seeing for sure if the light is on or not. Yes I do wear glasses so maybe that is the reason.\n\nAll of this is to say in my opinion that the word Holy is not the issue or fact. It is how others relate relative to one another whether considered brothers.\n, created, evolved, christian, muslim, or from another named or unnamed division or classification. Why not learn to reason together and let each follow his own Holy Book or not holy book and try to understnd it takes all the unique snow flakes to make a snowman. Ha Ha but a little heat from the sun will make him a puddle of water so the grass can grow after the cold if such was or is on schedule by the One in control if in fact one does accept there is one in control.\n\nIn conclusion In my opinion its not the book that is hard to understand and religion will never be understood. Its in the words the books put on display and the ways they are used that seems to present this hard to understand factor. A baby is very self-centered at birth and that is what the book called the bible says. Likewise all things will pass away and that is what the bible says as I read it. See its simple without those big big words like religion, spiritual, belief, position, Holy, and all that complicated stuff. Learn to be in a manner like a baby knowing if it does seek and seek it will in one way or another get a return. [note I did not say be self-cantered or exactly like a baby] So keep it simple and one will find the simple stuff in understanding. Don't take the simple and twist it all up in a complicated never to be understood package and for a new religion. Seems there is enough of that and enough Holy Books.

Read Wilton Barnhardt's "Gospel".  In my opinion, it is of the same ilk (this isn't a new genre at all) but better, as I prefer his prose.\n\nI also think you could include new author Elizabeth Kostova, who just published a thriller in the same vein.\n\nThere have been many other authors who have written what I call "conspiracy novels" about the nature of Christ.\n\nThere are also some old school books like "The Talisman" by Sir Walter Scott, and "The Robe" by Lloyd Douglas.  The Talisman is really old school (almost 200 years old) and traces a coin that was won in the gambling at Christ's feet through the ages and its transport to Scotland with the heart of Robert the Bruce (in reality, the coin exists, in the bossom of our Clan Chief, Lockhart, in Ayrshire, Scotland).\n\nPoke around, there is lots of material including one novel about the a new set of dead sea scrolls that has Jesus's bones turn up in the tomb of Joseph...etc.\n\nAnd according to court accounts, you can read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", which Brown is accused of plagiarising (remember the flap about Harry Potter being plagiarised?

I find those books to be very helpful when you don't want a complete in depth book to read but you just want to know enough information to get you through - \n\nThere are also "The Complete Idiots guide to ____" books and "The Everything _____ Books"\n\n"The Everything World Religions Book" is a great one. If you want to talk to a buddhist, pagan, mormon, wiccan or jehova's witness without sounding like a complete jerk, this book will help you.
