How Jesus Christ (pbuh) Described The Glory Of Pro

[ronniv93]

How can u take a book authored by man as a Holy book. Where is the word of Allah?

I don't take anything for granted when it comes to interfaith dialogue, so we need to establish whether or not we have the same understanding of different terms for me to answer this question.


As an example, the term <b>gospel</b> means two totally different things to Muslims and Christians:





Muslim Definition: An actual book given to Jesus similar to how it was given to Muhammad.

Christian Definition: Literally the "good news" about Jesus Christ, independent of a physical book.



So here, when you say "authored by man", for me, there is no difference between the Bible and Quran. Both required that MEN wrote them down. Books didn't just fall from the sky, of course. So, someone had to write them down.


But it was holy men of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, who wrote. Never has the Bible, either OT or NT, claimed to be any different. There are places where God is speaking or has spoken directly and that is written down. But then, there are historical stories, songs of praise to God given, instructions for daily living, etc.


The Quran purports to be the literal speech of God, going through the angel Jibreel, to Muhammad and then other people wrote down what he said.

ronni, as u stated several times, u r so much happy the way u r, what motivated u then to come here and even read much deep about Quran before coming here?

Because I seek dialogue mainly. But also, I always wonder if there was just something I didn't get from others in my studying and talking, etc. Initially, on this board, I was curious to know what it is that would draw a person from Christianity to Islam.

See we can all explain several things clearly to u, but u keep saying I am not up to be convinced. Much difference between asking, receiving answers and forced to be convinced.

It's not really that; I don't mean to give that impression.


There are just some topics/issues that have been presented to me before (i.e., the pseudo-gospel of Barnabas) and I spent <b>A LOT</b> of time looking into the matter to search for the truth on it. When I come to a particular conclusion on something, after gaining knowledge, studying source information, and providing proofs, the issue become settled in my mind.


I have had to prove the pseudo-gospel of Barnabas false so many times to so many people.


Other things still are not answered in my mind.
