Deceived you and said that the Gospel is the word of God.

The majority of what you quote is not from the Gospel, but the Old Testament, the Jewish scriptures. The person of Jesus was the Gospel, the New Testament is witness accounts of His birth, life, mission, death and resurrection. These accounts were written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are not Gods words verbatim, they are divinely inspired by God. The Holy Bible in its entirety consists of 66 books written over a period of 1500 years by various authors from Kings, prophets, tax collectors, fishermen etc, a various cross section chosen of humanity. It unfolds the chronological history of mankind, it's creation, it's fall, and it's ultimate redemption. It tells an account of life as it was at that time as all mankind are sinners there is many instances of what you might term difficult situations. You think God is not aware of mans sinful nature that sinful failings of murder, lust etc would be somehow unseemly to be put before God. Yet it is because of Gods intimate knowledge of mans sinful nature and despite it He still loves us enough to wish to redeem our souls by all means possible. God sets us tasks, we sometimes fail because we are weak, but in failure we learn an important lesson, that is to grow in strength and character and be the best people we can be before God our Father. This we do not because we fear His wrath, although we would be wise to fear such because Gods wrath is real and always justified, but out of love for all He our supreme creator has done for us.

You don't understand anything of what you quote because you have chosen snippets of scripture ripped out of context to prove some erroneous point. Other muslims may applaud your actions so by that token you can take pride in your efforts, empty that pride may be. Christians will see your efforts for what they are, if you are thinking in anyway it would change a Christians mind and turn them from God, well, I should tell you it will not. But if you are happy with such dishonest handling of the revered scriptures of others then I guess that says a lot about you. Personally I would never do the same with the Quran because I respect it as your holy Scripture. Guess it's too much to ask that respect is a two way thing.

Dear Pandora, thank you for replying..
1) You said " The majority of what you quote is not from the Gospel" . Then from where I came with these verses? Does not the Holy Bible contains the Old testament and the New Testament?
2) You said : These accounts were written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are not Gods' words verbatim, they are divinely inspired by God. Do you believe that the Holy Bible is not the words of God?. Were they inspired by God to the Holy Spirit as you say ? Do not you believe in "trinity" and God is three persons in one or one in three persons ? Who inspired to whom ?
3) You said :"The Holy Bible in its entirety consists of 66 books written over a period of 1500 years by various authors from Kings, prophets, tax collectors, fishermen etc"
* Is it a human made ?
* Is the Holy Bible actually 66 chapters ? Reality there are different Bibles although your book says Matt 24/ 35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" . Every sect has its own bible such as :
The Copy of the Protestants is 66 chapters
The copy of the Catholicos is 73 chapters
The copy of the Greek Orthodox is 75 chapters
The copy of the Ethiopian Orthodox is 81 chapters
The copy of the east Orthodox in Eastern Europe is 87 chapters
-- What is the true Bible and who added or deleted chapters to or from the Bible ?
