Is it wrong to copy and paste some words from the Bible/Qur'aan when asking a question.?

No it's not cause you refer to what you wanna say and you SO refer to your source.it's not wrong it's good cause you always have to be clear,but the most important thing is that you have to copy and pest it without any changes cause that is god words(Koran) and we don't have the right to change it

To all who are questioning the authenticity of Quran, listen carefully. Quran may be ritten down by a man aka Prophet Mohammad (SAW) but it is the word of God. As for the Bible, the Bible too is a word of GOd, the only difference being, Bible gets updated each yr. Each y new testaments come out. Wat kind of a religion updates ands changes itself, adding in, what was never there originally. Quran is as original as it gets, because it has never been changed, the true Bible is lost. \nAlso the Quran is about all the prophets, combined.\n\nJesus back on earth eventaully was not only said int eh Bible, it was also in the Quran. The Muslims beleive that as well. SO next time you want to pin soemthing like that, it wouldnt do u harm to go learn something first. \n\nEverything so far which has happened in the war,as in the major scene, was already recorded iin the Quran. Nothing the Bible has said as of yet has come to pass. People can relate certain things to other things said and done in the past, but that does not mean that that is wat was originally meant. \n\nI hate when poeple try riting answers and comments about other peoples relgions, when they themselves do not know nething worthwile. If you have any questions about the religoin Islam, ask, dont assume, and dont make up crap.

In one answer you say you "Take the Bible literally".\nThen you answer lots of questions with the nice phrase "You are an idiot".\nDoes the Bible tell you to do that?

No but I know many who do memorize the Quran:\nhttp://www.islamreligion.com/articles/19/viewall

I have found that theologians will twist the bible to whatever point they are trying to make.  It's not too hard because there are many points that are self-contradicted by the bible itself.  You can use the bible for almost any side of almost any argument.

Dear Lupis_Noctum,\n\nI view myself as a Christian Moderate, and I recognize parts of the Bible as being literal and parts as being idiomatic and parts as being allegorical.\n\nI use exactly the same methodology that I use in reading any book. As you know, even in day to day speech, we use language and sentences that are sometimes literal, sometimes idiomatic and sometimes allegorical.\n\nSo I am not being inconsistent with day to day use of language when I understand the Bible similarly. (I use the historic-geographic-cultural method of understanding the Bible).\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org

"When citing a sacred text such as the Bible or the Qur'an, name the edition you are using in your works cited entry (see item 14). In your parenthetical citation, give the book, chapter, and verse (or their equivalent), separated by periods. Common abbreviations for books of the Bible are acceptable. \n\nConsider the words of Solomon: "If your enemies are hungry, give\nthem food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them water to drink"\n(Holy Bible, Prov. 25.21).\n\n\nWorks Cited list:\n\nThe Holy Bible: King James Version.

What is the proper way to quote the bible? \n\nIn harmony with what is really being said.\n\n\n\nYes, you are right about quotation marks,\n\nThe scripture reference can go before or after the quotes.\n\nIs it wrong to not use quotation marks?\n\nit depends on how you set the verse apart from what you are saying.\n\n(Romans 15:4-6) 4 For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant YOU to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 that with one accord YOU may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.\n\nAdding quotation marks to the following example may confuse who is actually speaking.\n\nMatth 4:7 Jesus said to him: “Again it is written, ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’” (If you had quotations to this behind the word test  you would have ' " ", \n\nso it would look like this.\n\n  " 7 Jesus said to him: “Again it is written, ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’” "\n\nwhich could be confusing.

It seems like he's asking a question, but not. Actually, Lord is asking these questions to us. These are english translations of some verses from Qur'an.

The Bible is the most widely distributed book in the world. It has been translated into scores of language for people across the globe. As far as English translations, there are numerous ways to translate a sentence or phrase from one language to the next. Various people are going to have differing opinions on how to properly structure the wording of what the original Greek or Hebrew is attempting to convey. If one checks the various translations against one another it can be easily seen that they all say the same thing, only with varying verbiage. Choice of which to use comes down to personal preference (mine is NIV). I began using the NIV many years ago. At the time, it was the first translation to utilize ancient scrolls that were discovered since the time of King James. While those scrolls did not change the message of the Bible, they did help to clarify some areas where the wording was unsure (due to deterioration of parchment etc).  For the most part, it comes down to personal preference in readability...

There is nothing wrong with listening to the Quran or any other text. You can still "be a Christian" and listen to what you choose. The Quran isn't taking her heart away, no more than the Bible might be. She's simply listening to the voice of God written by another culture. Let her be.

Heh, heh... thanks bro. ;)\n\nI have seen some rare textual changes that have changed the meaning or even elimination of a word because they could not see how it fits. Hebrew letters can look very close to one another, much like our "l" and "i". So any distortion in the leather parchment could be a problem or the flaking of the ink could cause problems as well.\nMy mentor once told me that when the military creates a complex code, they transmit it with parity, or multiple times, so that if the coded message is in any way garbled, they can compare it to earlier or later transmissions. The Bible does the same thing by repeating the important messages several times. This is why Deuteronomy is called Deuteronomy. It's "repeating what we already know is true".\nCan these people explain to me why the entire 2,000 year old Isaiah scroll found in Qumran is virtually identical with the modern copies found in every synagogue in the world?\nRemember that Revelation carries an eternal curse of damnation for anyone who adds or subtracts from the text of scripture, and I do not think King James was hoping for political advantage at the expense of his soul.\nToday, we still have the original Hebrew and Greek text. Changing the scriptures would offer us ZERO political gain. Yet is still translates the same as the original King James, only with todays vernacular. \nI wonder if these people even research beyond their own notions. Do they have such skepticism when they read their dosage instructions for medication?

Because of answers like the first one posted. \n\nIf Christians quoted the Bible only when asked specific questions relating to the scripture rather than recycling quotes to suit their opinions and degrade other people, I'm quite sure there'd be less friction in this category.

When I memorize bible verses I write them down on a 3x5 card and carry the card with me.  Whenever I have a second, I look at it and read it.  WIth verses it is important to say the reference (the book chapter:verse) along with it, it is no good to know a verse and not know where to find it.

it is not the true word. This bible is rewritten to please man. Stick with the Kj bible.

I posted a question a while back on discrepancies in the bible.  It was not an attacking question, not rude, not, IMHO, offensive.  It was a question.  It basically stated that I had read somewhere that every verse in the bible was directly contradicted elsewhere and I asked whether it was true and where I might find documentation if so. \n\nThe question was deleted.\n\nThe moral of the story is, hide in a corner and don't do anything to offend anyone.  Don't do anything anyone disagrees with.  Wait, some people might be offended if you hide in a corner.  Just kill yourself.  Oh, no, Christians are morally outraged at suicide (although not at murder of an unborn child, drug addiction, murder in the name of 'patriotism' or 'for God' or as punishment for crime....) so better not kill yourself.  Um.....I guess just stand around and try not to breathe anyone else's air and no one will get mad, report you, ask for your questions to be removed.....whatever.
