Resolving Bible-Koran conflicts

Post #13,623 by ben_tilly 10/16/01 3:48:25 PM Reply	Resolving Bible-Koran conflicts The Bible reflects a religious history that Muslims believe in. However the Bible is a document that went through considerable editing over time. In fact the New Testament was written from eye-witness accounts at some remove from the actual events, there were multiple versions of the testaments around, and the current document is based on an authorized selection of such. This makes it subject to interpretation not just of what was purportedly said, but whether the words you see have been altered. Now the Koran was dictated by Mohammed. There is no ambiguity, and no question. Therefore when the accounts given in the Bible come into conflict with the accounts given by Mohammed of what really happened, all good Muslims believe that Mohammed's account is definitive. That said, there is a specific resolution of the "son of God" issue. For that resolution in their own words, various links from [link\|http://www.submission.org/jesus/\|this page] may enlighten. Cheers, Ben

What I find interesting was the Koran being written by the old testament version of a fleet owner of tractor trailers. He had poetry as well as the spirit of an accountant. makes you look at truck drivers in a new light. thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"

Bin Laden has said that the One True God has told him to kill innocent civilians. His own Quran says that no soul bears the burden of another. He is murdering people with souls that are innocent. Just one more obvious proof that Satan has taken control of these terrorist's souls and caused them to brutally disgrace Islam. According to the Quran, these terrorists are now reaping what they have sown. They sowed murder and destruction and they are now losing their power to continue their campaign of hatred. Quran (The Final Testament) confirms the basic principle in the Old and New Testaments, that a man will reap only what he sows. "Every soul is responsible only for his/her own work" 53:39 ".............no soul benefits except from its own work, and none bears the burden of another......" 6:164
