It has been said in these replies that there are mistakes and contradictions in the Bible, and that may be, but can you tell me what they are? No one can. Everyone says that there are mistakes but no one can tell what they are.
Dont mean to burst your bubble my friend but these mistakes have been shown time and time again in this post. Have you read from the beginning?
I have a book that lists 101 contradictions in the bible. CHRISTIAN BIBLE scholars admit that there are over 50,000 errors in the bible.
I could list them all night if you want!!!
It has been said that the Bible has been taken out of context because it is old and has gone through many translations. Has not the Quran? Has it not been translated over the years differently?
The point your missing my friend is that the original Quran still exists. Today when you read a translation of the Quran, it never claims to be 'The Quran' but only a translation. Also next to the translations most Quran's have the original scripture in arabic next to it.
Have you ever thought why the bible never has the original next to it? OK I know that from one era to another different languages have been used in the bible. But if it were really authentic the Greek and Hebrew would all be there to be seen. BUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuut.... 2 reasons why they cant do that my friend...
1. The bible is made up of thousands of manuscripts and no 2 manuscripts agree with each other. In otehr words the manuscripts they claim to be original are not the same as each other so no one can decide what the original actually was like.
2. Secondly and very importantly the mistranslation of the bible may lead even more people than the already huge numbers of people to convert to Islam...
For example in the old testament the name used for God about 30% of the time was Jah or Jahweh often also called Jehova.
The majority of the time the word Eloheem is used as God's name (glory be to him).
Eloh in Hebrew meaning the most high. The 'eem' at the end of the word is a pluralisation of the name which in semetic and some other eastern languages assigns a stature of respect to the person or in this case God being mentioned.
In the new testament were aramiac is used. The word for God uttered from the mouths is.... Allaha. This word also means 'the most high'... And funny enough you can see im leading on to say the word Allah in Arabic also means 'the most high'
Another example in the bible is the mentioning of the prophet Muhammad by name.
He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), was mentioned by name as Muhammadun in the song of solomon. however in the English translation and probably every other translation this is not shown. in fact the english translation reads "Yeah, he is sweet alltogether lovely"
That takes mistranslations to a new height!
But wait there is worse!!(OOr more should I say)
In the chapter of John Jesus (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that he must go for it is expedient for him to leave in order for the 'comforter' to arrive...
Now the word comforter here in some translations is mentioned as helper, or holy spirit or some other names that actually bear no resemblence to the true meaning.
The Greek word used here is Paraclytos...
The word Paraclytos means 'That which is praised'
Surprisingly the word Muhammad in arabic also means the same thing!!!
I do not believe Muhammad was a messenger of God because he died and stayed dead. Jesus died and lived again.
you really have to think before you type... im really sorry I had to say that!!!!! really sorry...
Did Abraham not stay dead? Did Moses not stay Dead? Did John not stay dead? shall I count out all the other prophets that stayed dead? May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all.
We Muslims do not believe Jesus (PBUH)died. we believe he was raised to heaven until an appointed time. When Allah is ready he will send him back to earth and he will rule with the justice that God intended to be provailent!
We believe he may have been cruxified but he never died in the process if that was the case and the bible also contradicts itself on this issue. I can show you if you wish my friend!
Muhammad (PBUH)was a prophet of God and was the last messenger of God. however Jesus'(PBUH)work is not yet complete and he will return.
Before you reject the last messenger of God maybe you should judge him fairly by seeing what he has brought forward in teachings. read the Quran before you can reject it!
As Jesus said in Mathew "you will know him by the fruit that he bears"
