Wel Mel.
You mentioned that you believe that some of what is written in the Bible is the word of God but not all of it.
I would be curious (since I am CURIOUS Christian) to know which books or parts of the bilble you do believe to be the word of God.
Also, another question for you or Muslimah....
I've noticed that many Chapters in the Quran mirror or retell or reteach things which are found in the Bible. What is the explanation for this? Did Mohammed believe the Bible or part of it to be the word of God too?
Thanks
Wel Mel. I was interested in your answer concerning the embryo development in the Quran.
I thought that you may find this interesting.
The Bible states that each star is different from the other thousands of years before this was confirmed by science:
1 Corinthians 15:41
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
The Bible also stated that the earth was suspended in space thousands of years before it was known:
Job 26:7
He stretches out the north over empty space;
He hangs the earth on nothing.
Also, to get back to where man came from issue:
Genesis 2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
AND
Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return.
Insight into the atmosphere and vapor thousands before it was discovered:
Job 36:27-29
For He draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?
The Bible told us that clouds contain water...thousands of years before we knew it:
Job 26:8
He binds up the water in His thick clouds,
Yet the clouds are not broken under it.
Hydrothermal vents are described in two books of the Bible written before 1400BC—more than 3,000 years before their discovery by science:
Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Job 38:16
Have you entered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths?
The Bible told us the earth was round:
Isaiah 40:22
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Just a few....
