The Koran considers the Old Testament, and some of the New to be holy texts. It considers itself a religion that builds off of Judaism into something new. Jesus and Muhammad were not the same person. There are a few centuries between the establishment of Christianity and Islam.\n\nSo while both are Holy Texts based on the Abrahamic tradition, they aren't mirror images of each other.

There is only one Bible but many translations so that people will understand Gods saving grace easilly. Different translations but the same saving gospel, the same God and Jesus amd messages and they are certainly not against each other, by assuming that it is against each other I'm also assuming that you didn't researched enough to see ig this notion is true. Do you agree that even ur Quran has been translated to english so engish speaking muslims can understand it? It's the same purpose as to why the Bible has many translations.

no way i quote 700 club.,\n     Under no circumstances is Jehovah, the God of the bible, and Allah, of the Koran, the same. First of all, the God of the bible is a God of love and redemption. who sent His Son into the world to die for our sins. Allah tells people to die for him in order to get salvation, but there is no understanding of salvation. Allah was the moon god from Mecca. that is why Islam has the crescent moon.The flag of Turkey has a crescent with a star in it. Well, the crescent moon is because Allah was the moon god. and that's the deal. But we don't serve moon god. We serve the God of creation, the Creator of everything.\n     They are not the same. To translate Allah as God is wrong. When you see something in there and it says Allah, you translate it Allah, don't call it God because its different. God is Elihim. He is the Creator, the Jehovah God, Yahweh. Yahweh of the old testament was the Father who brought forth Jesus into the world.\n         P.S don't kill the messenger it is my job as a server of the true living God to spread the truth.

The Bible says not to add to or take away from it in any way.  Therefore, if another book comes along and "supersedes" the Bible, it must be thought of as false teaching.  Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the Muslim religion to comment on its readings, but from the Christian point of view, any religion that rejects Christ as the Messiah must be a false teaching.  From what I understand, they have elevated Mohamed to be equal with Jesus and for that reason, I must get out my rubber stamp and red ink and label it "FALSE"!

Are you talking about the Koran? \nAll 3 religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam have the same roots. Both the Muslims and the Jews consider Abraham to be thier father, and Jews and Muslims refer to each other as "Cousins".

I endorse my own religion and do not read the Koran. I read the King James Version of the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and the Doctrine and Convenients. •

I personally have read the Bible several times ( I'm Wiccan), but I have a good friend who happens to be a Rabbi and we've discussed the Torah.I don't know anyone of Islam faith to discuss the Koran with but the message all comes down to " Be Excellent to each other!"

BOB:I EDITED IT. I'M LOGGING OUT. TYPE YOUR QUESTIONS. I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN THEM LATER.\n\nHey "Bob". Now, you need to know that the Koran is poetic. God also said that he kept the planets not colliding with each other. But we know that it is caused by gravity.\n\nGod also said that He is closer to us than the jugular vein. There is a hadith that said that He can ve contained in a pious slave's heart. Now all these references are poetic.\n\nThere are other translations, such as Pickthall's, that translated the word into "heavens".\n \nAccording to Yusuf Ali's translation, it is referred as "rain".\n\nMaybe, just maybe, that He was referring to comets and meteors. Maybe He said "the sky" because 1400 years ago, Arabs didn't know about comets and meteors. The verse also states that it can fall by His leave, His power, it can fall. There are records that meteors have hit the earth. But this is just my opinion.\n\nEDIT: Punishment for satan is in hell. Those verses are talking about the punishments waiting for satan in hell. The words did not say comets, but FIRE.\n\nBesides, you haven't stated your thoughts on the other translations by Pickthall or Yusuf Ali.\n\nEDIT:Oh, wait. I remembered your point of "air falling on earth" thing. Now, as you read it, you do realise that the verse states:\n\n....and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command?...\n\nIf there was a storm or strong wind, rain, etc (the sky falling, as if there was heavy winds, as described poeticly),surely the ship's sailing was to be affected and face possibility of shipwreck?

Nope.  \n\nSecularists especially, use these "Didn't the (whatever Bible story) get copied from (whatever extra-biblical source)?"  all the time.  These have been discredited over and over again, yet they keep coming back.\n\nWhile it is true that there are similar stories in various other ancient texts, they are also very dissimilar.  You can look to the Amarna Letters, Babylonian Theodicy, Elba Tablets, Hammurabi's Code, Ishtar's Descent, Ludlul Bel Nemedi, Mari Tablets, and innumerable others, and find stories that are similar to the Bible's.  That hardly allows for them to be sources.\n\nKeep in mind also, when the Flood occurred, it was world-wide, and every ancient civilization recorded it.  These are also descendants of Noah, who abandoned YHWH as God, and followed idols instead.  The veracity of the story remains.  You can look to other stories in the same vein.

Dr. Bucaille says:\n“Whereas the Bible calls the sun and moon ‘lights’, and merely adds to one the adjective ‘greater’ and to the other ‘lesser’, the Qur’an ascribes differences other than that of dimesion to each respectively” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 156).\n\nIn all of these verses, God expresses the notion that the sun and the moon are “not absolutely identical lights” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 156).\n\nDr. Bucaille draws his conclusions from what he found in the Qur’an about the sun and the moon:\n\n“What is interesting to note here is the sober quality of the comparisons, and the absence in the text of the Qur’an of any elements of comparison that might have prevailed at the time and which in our day would appear as phantasmagorial” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 157).\n\nIn short, “There is nothing in the text of the Qur’an that contradicts what we know today about these two celestial\nbodies.” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 157)

One thing I will say, is that you surely do study the Koran.  I actually enjoy reading what you post and the answers.

Actually, you come very close!  I suggest an excellent book, "Idioms of the Bible", the author's name is beyond me for now.  It was created by  a Bible scholar who is very familiar with both modern and ancient Hebrew and Aramaic, and has done some wonderful research in various areas relating to the Bible and religion.

Please show me where in the Koran it says that!\n\nWhat youre saying has nothing to do with Islam.\n\nEdit:\nThanks for the link but its taken way out of proportion and out of context.\nIslam regards women very highly. Why do you think there is a Chapter named after Mary in the Koran?? Its called "Mary".\n\nAlso, the Koran respects women so much that it says that Heaven is beneath women. Women are seen as special.\n\nAlso, you can find the same type of verse in other religions.\nDoes that mean they condone violence against women?\nOfcourse not.\nSame with Islam.

Yes. I don't believe that the Bible is infallable by any stretch. But I believe almost all religions believe in the same supreme being. If you think of life on earth through history it's not an accident... it's an amazing plan.

The koran was nothing but fiction to begin with, so why does it matter?\n\nThis I believe;  http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

Don't Muslims say that the Koran has to be read in Arabic and that translations don't count?\n\nThat may be a reason.

It used to be the Holy Bible but it is possible that the Koran has surpassed the Bible in popularity.
