A Comparison of Prophethood in the Qur’an and Bible.

[pandora]

You see the view of Prophets in Islam as being all truly pious, almost faultless and even possibly sinless as somehow a good thing. I see the opposite, and putting Prophets upon pedestals and holding them up as sinless examples sells you short. I believe seeing prophets this way is unrealistic and leads to a misunderstanding of the nature of sin and the effect of sin upon God. If we see ordinary men and women..as sinless... Then what need have we for God in our life? Where does that leave your faith? If these men can be sinless then why not you.. By your own efforts? Dangerous idea that!!!

( BTW.. Do you recognise any female Prophets in the Quran? No?? Why not.. Seeing as women are valued greater in the Quran than the Bible...)

Peace.
