Hmmmmmm!!!!
The phrase <b>Word of God</b> has different meaning to different people. For example:
1. All Christians believe (or made to believe) that <b>Bible is Word of God</b>. This belief is even held by Dr. Rober Funk, who after his 6-year study found out that 80% of statements referred to Jesus, were actually written by unknown persons to serve the Church.
2. All Muslims believe that Holy Qur'an is <b>Word of Allah</b>. Allah, even challenged the Jews of Medinnah to come-up with <b>one Verse, in Arabic, similar to the scholarship of His word</b>. Hundreds of non-Muslim scholars too, have come to the conclusion that the Prophet (pbuh) could not have written such a <b>Master-piece - full of ethics, social justic, politics and scientific discoveries</b>.
3. An overwhelming majority of Jews believe that Talmud is <b>Word of G-d</b> - but then one reads it, he/she finds that God could not be that <b>hateful, and racist. No wonder, an Israeli Jew, Dr. Israel Shahak has called his own Holy Book: [The most hateful piece of literature in the world, which cannot contribute any good to the humanity</b>.
