Bismillah:
Quote:I've tried to explain versus found in the Holy Bible which appear unscientific. Some of them I believe aren't unscientific at all and some of them such as the Levitical laws brought up by Wel Mel do seem, to human understanding "unscientific". Does this mean that the Bible is flawed and not inspired by God??? No.
If you disagree than I guess we can say the same about the Qur'an since ants don't talk (Koran 27)
Again, you are talking about miracles. You are mixing up miracles with science. What miracles have to do with something like “the test of adultery” which you said its belongs only to the OT. Even if it is belongs to OT which is applicable to Jews only. Jews now can never prove scientifically about this plain error. You see when for example you tell me that Jesus heal a woman when she touched him, ok there will be no question. But to tell me something that totally against what has been discovered recently and you conclude that this is <b>ANYWAY</b> God’s words and we don’t understand it. This is blind belief. What miracles have to do with the horrible mathematic mistake of the book of Ezra and the book of Nehemiah?
Quote:I am a Christian not because the Bible through it's historical and scientific virtues led me to belief.
I am a Christian because of grace. Not through works of my own but through the blood of Christ I am clean before God. Because He called my name before He laid the foundations of the earth I am His. My salvation is much more mystical and unbelievable than any scientific discovery. The fact that God came to earth to dwell among His creation because He loved them so much is the biggest surprise of all.
First of all we were not talking about Salvation. We will also not be saved because of some scienfic discoveries. But you should know that for any book to claim that it is a Revelation from Almighty God, it should stand the test of time. Previously in the olden days, it was the age of miracles – Alhamdulelah, the Qur’an is the miracle of miracles. Later on came the age of literature and poetry, and Muslims and Non Muslims alike, they claim that the Holy Qur’an to be the best Arabic literature available on the face of the Earth. But today is the age of <b>science and technology</b>. Albert intestine said: <b>‘Science without Religion is lame, and Religion without Science is blind’</b> so the Bible clearly could not stand the test of science. Unless you prove otherwise. and you cannot prove by faith alone that the Bible is free from error.
Quote:On the other hand I don't believe the Qur'an is the word of God. Not because of scientifc errors or historical problems. I don't believe the Qur'an because the Bible is God's revelation to mankind.
Can you show me some verses where it says that <b>the Bible is revelation to mankind</b>? I hope that you can see the words <b>REVELATION TO MANKIND </b> that you have used to describe the Bible. Please show me any verse from your Bible says the above statement.
And please ntoe that <b>revelation </b> was a book of dreams. So I don’t really rely on it. Show me something was quoted by Jesus because he is common in our beliefs.
Thanks.

Wael.
