The Qur’an Cannot Be A Text of Divine Origin

Very disappointing :( if this is an example of your standards then for sure we have nothing to say. Shame I was hoping you were the one to answer the questions others have ignored.

Have a good life, may God guide you.

You know what amaze me about you Christians, you go on and on about your holy book, then you get upset when someone quote from it. In this article, I am quoting your holy book, is that something you feel ashamed of?? Would you get the same response from a Muslim if you post a verse from the Quran??

Surely, you can quote something out of context, and I can correct you, and you can do the same but every Christian get mad reading his own holy text! That is a mystery, if these words make you feel uncomfortable, how can you attribute such words to God, and these acts to his messengers?

Huria, enough already. You can quote what you like from the Bible or any other book you like. I am certainly not offended by any criticism you have to offer. The Bible IS a Holy Book, It contains Gods words, as such it does not need little old me to defend it. It's message has stood strong for well over two thousand years.. It remains and always will remain because Jesus said "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away".

you are free to correct me if you think I take something out of context in the Quran, I am not a Muslim, do not have an Islamic scholar to hand so I would not only expect you to correct me but would thank you for it. However, it could be done with tact and politeness..

I'll try and be clear.. There is nothing I am ashamed of in the Bible.. I never get mad when reading it.. (maybe slightly annoyed when muslims like your good self treat it with such callous disrespect) but never justifies anger. Nothing in the Bible makes me feel at all uncomfortable either.

My disappointment was at your personal low standards of how you treat the scriptures of others. I always thought muslims were taught to be respectful to others. Obviously this is a bigger ask for some than it is for others.

Jesus said ~ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

and what category would you say you fall into? Not that it would bother you any... The teachings of Jesus I mean ;)

see... You could have started a thread in answer to my question.. Instead you waste time and effort on such trivia as this. :)

Peace to you.

Again not sure what I did to warrant this angry reply, you telling me you are not angry but your words are shouting at me loool

The topic is reply to Christians who say that Quran is not like bible, and as I said earlier we share similar names of prophets but their stories are so different. I only quoted what your book says, and then you replied that you are disappointed?? So I was astonished hence my second reply.

Anyway I agree with you, no need to start side points, lets start the thread, and can I ask you to please give me a clear and honest answer, and I don’t think you are of those cut and paste but just in case no such replies please. I promise I will try to put my point politely, and respectfully. Please try to shorten your answers as much as possible unless a long clarification is needed, and we stick to the point we are discussing.

Huria, friend... Really it does not bode well for any future dialogue between us if you keep getting the wrong end of the stick ;)
I assure you I am not in any way angry with you and my words are just words not shouting words.. lol.. If I say I am not angry, then trust me I am not angry.

If I say I am disappointed .. Then I am disappointed. On this occasion, on this thread my disappointment was with your good self and not your criticism of Bible. That you are entitled to do. I thought the tone of your post was juvenile and flippant. You can't really expect to be be taken seriously when you don't treat the topics seriously. You are disseminating the word of God here.. Does that not command a modicum of respect? And of course the Quran and the Bible are in no way the same.. That is where many misunderstandings stem from, because muslims judge the Bible by the same criteria they use for the Quran. It is not possible to do this in any meaningful way.

Oh, please do start the thread. I will try to make my answers as clear as possible and can promise they will always be honest. I will try to keep short, but as I am a wordy person by nature that may not be as easy.. But in general I only use as many words as I think I need to get my point across... Talking of points.. I will endeavour to stick to it. May I respectfully ask that you do the same.. So .. Then no more faffing about and get on with your proofs. Oh.. And please don't get uppity if I choose not to agree with all you say. ;)

peace to you, may God guide your efforts.
