the question should be : is this what Moses needed to know ?

Muslim:
wow nice way of answering my question.
the point is this : muslims claim science in quran, but the Bible was never intended to be a scientific book…it is a faith book…and no, it is not the Word of God in the islamic sense…that is, it is not a word for word from God’s mouth neither written on a heavenly tablet in heaven…the Bible is the history of God’s interaction with His people people and how they responded to God’s commands, how their perception of him was and how the truth culminated with Jesus.

Bukhari:V4B55N546 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Gabriel has just now told me of the answer. If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble him, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her.’”

Qur’an 18:83 “They ask you about Dhu’l-Qarnain [Alexander the Great]. Say, ‘I will cite something of his story. We gave him authority in the land and means of accomplishing his goals. So he followed a path until he reached the setting place of the sun. He saw that it set in black, muddy, hot water. Near it he found people.”

Bukhari:V1B10N510 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If it is very hot, the severity of the heat is from the raging of the Hell Fire.’”

The Koran is just a wonder of science isn’t it?
It is interesting that many Muslim members of this forum apply different rules to the Bible and to the Quran. In light of Muslims literal view of the Quran why does the Quran speak of the sun sitting in the mud and other such nonsense? Every new Muslim member of this forum has seemed to try this utterly ignorant attempt to prove to us our “grave error”. If this is the best Muslim apologetics can produce it is no wonder there have always been far more Christians than Muslims.

I sincerly hope people take note of what inJesus has said here so we can quit correcting this notorious misrepresentation of the Bible by Muslims.
 
Muslims believe that the Quran is proven to be from God because it has scientifically accurate information about embryology before man discovered it for himself. But all of the information in the Quran about embryology is copied from three sources:
  1. A Greek doctor named Galen, who lived of 150 AD.
  2. A Jewish doctor named Samuel ha-Yehudi who lived 150 AD.
  3. the Greek father of medicine Hippocrates who lived 400 BC.
There is not one detail revealed in the Quran about embryology that was not already revealed or known in the time of Muhammed.

But the Quran also contains scientifically inaccurate information:

In 86:6-7 the Koran says, “man was created from ejected liquid- Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs”. This echoes the scientific error of Hippocrates who believed “the male seed” originates, from the brain down the spinal chord, before passing through the kidneys and finally out of the body. (Hippocratic Writings, Penguin Classics, 1983, p. 317)

More inaccuracies in the Quran:

In Koran 7:125, death by crucifixion is stated to exist at the time of Moses in 1500BC.

Yet Encyclopedia Britannica, in harmony with all records of history, reports that crucifixion did not exist any earlier than 500 BC.

Scientifically accurate information in the Bible:

In Isa 40:22 and three other passages. (Prov 8:27; Amos 9:6 Job 26:10) it says the earth is round and not flat. Job 26:7 says the earth is free-floating in space: “he hangs the earth on nothing.” Both these facts are scientifically accurate, and revealed in the Bible long before man discovered it for himself.

Here’s another scientifically accurate item in the Bible:

The Bible had already fully documented the hydrologic water cycle 1600 before the Koran in Job 36:27-28, and 3 other passages (Eccl 11:3; Job 26:8; Eccl 1:6-7), which proves Muhammad merely copied the scientific facts of the hydrologic water cycle directly from the Bible.

Tabari I:332 “The sun and the moon were in eclipse for seven days and nights.”

Maybe whoever wrote the Koran should have looked into more sources.
 
How do you know that that was not a miracle? Jesus turned water into wine so this does not seem that much different.

So there was a seven day and seven night eclipse of both the sun and the moon? Thats a major celestial event that would have been witnessed by the astronomers of the day. Let me see if I can find their records somewhere…

Does this mean what it sounds like???

If so, all my kids should look like me.

Yeap, all the various versions of your Bibles (of which no two are indentical) can never be the Word of God *per se * in any sense. They appear to contain some words about God, wirtten b y mostly UNKNOWN authors, because the people of previous Prophets of God, were so careless for various political and non-political reasons Thus there was a need to send the Final Word of God meant for whole Mankind and that is The Holy Quran.

But people like the Scribes and the Pharisees which exist and are found in almost every epoch/period will never be satisfied and they will always follow their own whims and “understanding”. By doing this they cannot defeat God nor Godly people, rather they will be the loosers on the Day of Judgement for not following the Holy Quran.

As far, infants, babies belonged to people of any faith, legitimate or illegitimate, they all will go to Paradise, if they die in their infancy or before the age of reason, since no child is born with sin. Thus the Paul’s Christianity foundational idea of so-called “original sin” is foolish and nonsense, and amazingly even from their Biblical point of view:

**النفس التي تخطئ هي تموت. الابن لا يحمل من اثم الاب والاب لا يحمل من اثم الابن. بر البار عليه يكون وشر الشرير عليه يكون.

فاذا رجع الشرير عن جميع خطاياه التي فعلها وحفظ كل فرائضي وفعل حقا وعدلا فحياة يحيا. لا يموت.

كل معاصيه التي فعلها لا تذكر عليه. في بره الذي عمل يحيا.

هل مسرة أسر بموت الشرير يقول السيد الرب. ألا برجوعه عن طرقه فيحيا.

واذا رجع البار عن بره وعمل اثما وفعل مثل كل الرجاسات التي يفعلها الشرير أفيحيا. كل بره الذي عمله لا يذكر. في خيانته التي خانها وفي خطيته التي اخطأ بها يموت

وانتم تقولون ليست طريق الرب مستوية. فاسمعوا الآن يا بيت اسرائيل. أطريقي هي غير مستوية أليست طرقكم غير مستوية.

اذا رجع البار عن بره وعمل اثما ومات فيه فباثمه الذي عمله يموت.
واذا رجع الشرير عن شره الذي فعل وعمل حقا وعدلا فهو يحيي نفسه.

رأى فرجع عن كل معاصيه التي عملها فحياة يحيا. لا يموت.

وبيت اسرائيل يقول ليست طريق الرب مستوية. أطرقي غير مستقيمة يا بيت اسرائيل. أليست طرقكم غير مستقيمة.

من اجل ذلك اقضي عليكم يا بيت اسرائيل كل واحد كطرقه يقول السيد الرب. توبوا وارجعوا عن كل معاصيكم ولا يكون لكم الاثم مهلكة.

اطرحوا عنكم كل معاصيكم التي عصيتم بها واعملوا لانفسكم قلبا جديدا وروحا جديدة. فلماذا تموتون يا بيت اسرائيل.

لاني لا أسر بموت من يموت يقول السيد الرب. فارجعوا واحيوا**

“And dispute ye not with the people of the book but say: We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and that which came down to you.” Sura Ankabut 29:46

Now, Now according to your final holy word, you can’t dispute with us on anything. Wait if our revelation is undisputable according to Allah, why was there need for a final holy word??? Wait, saying that our revelation is undisputable reveals a condradiction in that Jews do not recognize the Christian New Testament. What side is undisputable, the Christians or Jews? Wait you have to agree with both, oh no, you can’t.
 
Dear inJESUS:

The verses I just qouted in my last post on this thread are from your Arabic Bible, you should engrave them in a precious stone and fill the letters with Pure Gold, and install it in your church by replacing the idols that you have of so-called imaginary statues of “Jesus” or “Mary” because, first, of all Jesus and Mary were not White Europeans. They were either dark skin Middle Eastern or Africans. Second, all White Europeans are gentiles and Jesus and his mother were not gentile. Third, because:

**وتماثيل آلهتهم تحرقون بالنار. لا تشته فضة ولا ذهبا مما عليها لتاخذ لك لئلا تصاد به لانه رجس عند الرب الهك.

ولا تدخل رجسا الى بيتك لئلا تكون محرّما مثله. تستقبحه وتكرهه لانه محرّم**

Do you recognise these verses? If no, here they are in English:

25 **Their graven things ** [Idols, so called by contempt.] thou shalt burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver and gold of which they are made, neither shalt thou take to thee any thing thereof, lest thou offend, because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.

26 Neither shalt thou bring any thing of the idol into thy house, lest thou become an anathema, like it. Thou shalt detest it as dung, and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because it is an anathema.

For your kind information, as per your Bible: "anathema" means a thing devoted to utter destruction.

There wasn’t ancient giants and people living 900 years?
Maybe not 9 hundred years, but in Biublical times there were. Goliath is part of a family of them. There is scientific evidence of giants in the past and cyclopses.

One example of obvious biblical contradiction.

God had, in the beginning, declared ALL that He had made as GOOD.
(Refer to Genesis.)

Then, shortly thereafter, He decides that certain of his creatures are abominations.
The eagle being one of those. Woa, the National Emblem of the USA and many other nations is an abomination? Thank goodness we don’t eat it, eh?

You know, maybe I can’t be a citizen of a country that exhalts an abomination as an emblem. Whoowee. :whacky:

I can not give equal credence to every line of scripture when it is obvious that there are definate contradictions. Based on this fact, I do not accept that the bible is to be taken literally. Too much of the earliest writings just do not adhere to what we KNOW of reality.
Abomination to eat and consume, not in existence and symolism.

Why teach him something if he had no use for it and no one could understand what he was talking about if he tried to share it. Plus for all we know God did and Moses just didn’t use it when writting something he wanted other people to read and understand.

Now you’re being antagonistical. No need for that trash. As Christians talking like that is down right aweful. At least in the Qur’an it asks for them to work with and coincide with us, which they seem more willing then most of us do, according to what I ahve read in these forums.
 
Dear inJESUS:

I am waiting for your kind reply to my posts # 28 and 30.
