Description of the Prophets in the Bible and the Quran

[pandora]

Written Arabic is indeed beautiful..

However, the article itself IMHO.. is not so beautiful. Mr Qureshi's pretext is faulty. I'm not sure what's to be gained by seeking to prove one version of the Prophets is better than the other. For Christians believe the Prophets are depicted with honesty and respect and are accurately portrayed in the Bible... Their faults and all.. Are not going to be swayed because Islam gives them a whitewash and portrays them as faultless men.. (They ignore the women prophets)..

On this maybe best to say each to their own. We know why the prophets were portrayed as they were .. Human. By showing their faults and sins we can see this is an honest account because men and women being human will have faults and will sin on occasion. That's another reason I can't trust Islam on this... We know man will sin.. We know prophets are men (and women) therefore they are at times sinners and will need Gods mercy and forgiveness. If a prophet needs Gods mercy and forgiveness.. How much more are we in need of it?

Peace.

I agree. All prophets are human and subject to sin just like anyone else; in fact, they might be more apt to sin, because they would be attacked spiritually more than someone who didn't have the same responsibility. To think or believe prophets are perfect and without sin is a demonstration of deep spiritual ignorance or idolatry or both. Catholics make this mistake or error here with the saints and Mary. They act as if they were superhuman. In this area and in many others, I see Islam and Catholicism hand in hand and in the past Catholicism was a reaction to Islam and Islam is still till this day a reaction to Catholicism and its misconceptions of Christianity.

I believe Muslims are very nice warm and hospital people, and when it comes to religion, I see them sincere, but sincerely wrong. I pray they come to the knowledge of truth in Jesus name. It would be nice if Muslims could pray and ask Jesus or the God of Abraham why we see Him (Jesus) the way we do. Since Jesus and God the father are not dead, He will respond. This is a chance for Muslims to see, hear and understand from Jesus and or God they love, because they are not receiving truth and love from Christians.

Truth, Peace, and Love
