Adultery – In Biblical And Islamic Terms

God of course knows the future. And in many cases, there are passages in the bible which are considered to be predictions of the future (e.g., the many passages that predict the second coming of Jesus). But this doesn't apply to all the books in the bible.


For example, the book of Philemon in the New Testament is simply a letter, written by Paul, where Paul pleads for mercy on behalf of a runaway slave. The letter was written while Paul was in jail, approximately 30 years after the death of Jesus. The fact that Paul isn't "predicting the future", but simply writing a letter about a runaway slave, does not prove or disprove that the Bible is divinely inspired.
