I just want to ask readers one question. Do you ever see "Big Foot?" Do you ever see Satan? Do you know anyone whoever saw these two? What do they look like? If you did saw any of these two, did you speak to them and what did they say to you? Why should people hate each other over something or someone that no body ever saw and none knows for sure of their existence? If a thing can only be seen by faith and beliefs why resent each other over it?
Dr. Darwin would be very surprise and grieve to see how his work was being misunderstood and twisted out of what he originally intended. The same things could be said about the prophets and apostles. Both the Koran (Muslim Holy book) and the Bible is greatly misunderstood by some readers. In my revelation, I believe that the prophet Mohamed, knows that his people would not accept the Jewish form of religion and they would not accept the Christians, form of religion either. To prevent his people from being fragmented into many different warlike tribes, he put his revelation down in written form, which would unify the people in one belief system. Judaism holds the Jews together for centuries. Islam would do the same for the people. However, Islam also just like Christianity is being misunderstood. In this article, I intend to clear up the misunderstanding between the Koran and the Bible and between Muslims and Christians. The first thing you need to know about religion. (Religions are base on faith and beliefs.)
John 1:18 (KJV) No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
One John 4:12 (KJV) No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
If you told me that you saw God and he spoke to you, I still have to accept it by faith. Because; I never saw him, and even if I did saw him how do I know for sure what is whom I saw? How do I know that the Bible is inspired? I accept the Bible account of itself that it is inspirited, and because my bias minded, church fathers told that to me. How do I know that the Muslim holy book the "The Koran" Inspired or not inspirited? My church fathers told that to me. What I found out about the Koran is that readers have to read the book for themselves and not to read what is written about the book. The commentators are only setting up both, Christians, Muslims and Jews against each other's.
BOTH KORAN AND BIBLE SAID MARY IS JESUS MOTHER.
Koran 3:45 Behold! The angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;"
Luke 1:26-28 (KJV) And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [28] And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
BOTH THE KORAN AND THE BIBLE SAID, MEN DID NOT KILL JESUS AS IT SEEMS.
Koran 4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of Allah"; --But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, in addition, those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not: -- Koran 4:158 Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise; -- Koran 4:159 And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them; --
JESUS SAY HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE.
John 10:17 (KJV)Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. John 10:18 (KJV) No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. John 10:19 (KJV) There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
Both writers. The Koran and the Bible are using sarcasm, you can call it an idiom if you want. Is as if they are mocking the enemy of souls. They really think they kill Jesus, but Jesus was not kill by the will of men as it seems. This is what the writer is saying. They are not saying that the Bible account that Jesus was kill is false. The Koran is not contradicting the Bible. They are in agreement.
THE KORAN ENDORSES THE BIBLE
Koran 2:62 Section 8. Those who believe (in the Koran), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians, --any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, shall have their reward with their Lord: On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Koran 5:72 Those who believe (in the Koran), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians, --any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, --on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Koran 22:17 Those who believe (in the Koran), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians, Christians, Megians, and Polytheists, --Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment: For Allah is witness of all things.
THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES
Isaiah 9:6-AV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES
Acts 4:12-AV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Matthew 1:21-AV And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
SALVATION ONLY COMES TO US THROUGH CHRIST
John 20:31-AV But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Acts 10:43-AV To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
John 1:14-AV And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 3:16-AV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
JESUS IS NOT JUST ONE OF THE PROPHETS
Mark 8:27-AV And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? Mark 8:28-AV And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and others, One of the prophets. Mark 8:29-AV And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. Mark 8:30-AV And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD
: John 5:18-AV Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Philippians 2:6-AV Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Philippians 2:7-AV But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Philippians 2:8-AV And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:9-AV Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Philippians 2:10-AV That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; Philippians 2:11-AV And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Mark 8:30-AV And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Sometime Only Jesus Can Help Us
Acts 4:12 (KJV)Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:7 (KJV) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:10 (KJV) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:11 (KJV) And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
