A Comparison

[Faith Hope Charity]

I agree that Christians misrepresent the Law in their words & actions, breach the Covenant & live up to the message of Christ. But does the Qur'an say that the written Scriptures have been tampered with???

Here I am replying to my own post - LOLLLLLLLLL!


We really should be allowed more time to edit.


The above quote should read... <i>"I agree that Christians misrepresent the Law in their words & actions, breach the Covenant & <b>don't</b> live up to the message of Christ. But does the Qur'an say that the written Scriptures have been tampered with???"

Just thought I'd clarify my point.


I'm very interested in this topic because I'm familiar with the Islamic doctrine of Taref (corruption) but as far as I know it's not supported by Allah's revelations or Mohammad's sayings (PBUH). It's an idea that developed centuries after your prophet's death (PBUH).


Wael, I'm sceptikal of your belief in Taref because if you thought there was truth to it, you wouldn't constantly quote from the Holy Bible.


Furthermore, if you stop & think about it... had the Catholic Church altered the original texts, she would've definitely inserted numerous verses regarding the Blessed Trinity & Incarnation... as you keep pointing out...


<i>"Jesus never taught trinity, unless you bring some verses from your Book of authority to support your claim (i.e that Jesus revealed this supernatural truth to the world etc) then you should not promote such thing."
</i>


"Any sane person can understand why they are in conflict, I say because there is not a single verse in the whole Bible where Jesus explicitly declared that he was God."


I guarantee you that Catholic Bibles are authentic. Did you know that Jews aren't allowed to print the Torah? Instead, they handwrite their copies on scrolls & if they make a tiny mistake, they immediately start all over again!!! For thousands of years, Jews have preserved the Old Testament word for word & dot to dot! & if you thought that was extreme, would you believe that they also memorize & recite the entire Torah? Anyways, my point is... the Catholic Church has remained faithful to the Holy Bible since day one. You can't improve on perfect ;)


Like I said earlier, I agree with the Qur'an that many Catholics stray from the path that God set, but that reflects their human weaknesses... it has nothing to do with Scripture!


Thanks for hearing me out. I think I'll go read the Holy Bible now & do some soul searching :)


Peace, love & blessings.
