Quran , chapter 41

Fussilat - Verse 34-35
{
And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.
But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].

The Bible was written 1100 before the Quran. If any scripture is most accurate, it is the oldest one.
@accidentprone Judaism older than Christianity
If we are going to work with that logic
And Islam is an abrahamic religion we believe Mohammed to be the last prophet from God not a man who invented a new religion

And believe it or not there are religions that are older than Judaism like Hinduism

Hard to believe any of that because the Bible starts at the beginning of the human and the beginning of the earth assumed to be true at that time.

But the teachings of Jesus were always about Thankfulness, Forgiveness, and Sacrifice. Any religion that promotes this type of behavior is OK with me.
@accidentprone islam begins from the beginning from Adam and Eve too
Our teachings about goodness and forgiveness

@Islamreligion You say that, but Islam was born about 1100 years after the death of Jesus Christ, although it supports the first 5 books of the Bible, it dismisses one of the first recordings in Genesis as a change in translation, Genesis in the first 25 verses says GOD said, on the 26th verse GOD said, let US make MAN in OUR image. This tells us that Man was made in the image of God, and Jesus was God, but also in the image of Man. This was documented way before the beginning of Islam. Yet Islam supports the life of Jesus as a major prophet, it does not display him as God in a man's body or God in Man's image. But certainly, the Islam faith supports every word of the Pentateuch, except for that verse. Why is that? They say the Jews changed it. Why didn't the Jews change anything else then?

@accidentprone Why would the Jews change the translation hundreds of years before Islam would start? If they were going to change it for Islam, they would have changed it because of Islam, and because of the start of Islam. What else would have motivated them to do it hundreds of years earlier?
@accidentprone “you say but..”
I do not say I tell you what my scripture says.

And if we use your logic of “you say but”

Christianity was born after Judaism and Hinduism
See you are contradicting yourself



Islam is an abrahamic religion
We believe in Adam and Eve and all the prophets from Noah to Mohammed

You saying Mohammed came after Jesus is like saying how Abraham came after Noah



And if you believe Jesus is God that always existed

Is he the same God that told Moses to say this to his soldiers ?
Numbers 31:17–18 — The New International Version (NIV)

17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

@Islamreligion Mohammad had the Quaran written in about 1100 years after the life of Jesus, it was written while he was alive by a scribe because he could not write it himself, is this correct?
Again with your logic
the New Testament came after the Old Testament
and just like how you deny the Quran to be the last revelation form God
the Jews deny the New Testament to be from God
So how are you any different to me than a Jew to you ? Actually
The Bible was written fully [b]300[/b] years after the death of Jesus and not in the language he spoke daily with his disciples
But in koine greek
then rewritten and fabricated and messed with in the course of decades by bishops kings historians etc
Hence today you do not only have translations of the Bible like the Quran but versions too
Each arguing which version is more accurate and the truth . You even have many biblical books with unknown authors like hebrews they could have been rapists and you wouldn’t know.


unlike the Bible ,
the Quran was memorized word by word during the life of prophet Mohammed and written down during his life and under his supervision and only complied after his death.

Today the Quran is still memorized word by word in its original language by millions of people from around the world
Some have a chain of memorization going back to the most trusted companions of prophet Mohammed

It’s the most memorized secular and non secular book by heart.
If this is not God preserving his word Im not sure what is.

And we Muslims believe in the Torah that was revealed to Moses and gospel that was revealed to Jesus and psalms to David
However we believe those were corrupted with time hence why God sent prophet Mohammed
And the corruption is clear today in such books
With their contractions scientific mistakes etc

Al-Baqarah - Verse 136

:
Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

@Islamreligion So as the Old Testament was documented 300 years after the death of Jesus, the Quaran did not get written until the life and death of Mohammad about 1100 after the death of Jesus. You are not agreeing to this truth.
@accidentprone no the Quran was memorized during his life
And also written during his life but [b]compiled [/b] after. And in Its original language and form
unlike the Bible.
Im sorry but You lack knowledge in that area sir.

&
Im just saying
just like how Jews deny the New Testament and believe solely in Torah
You deny the Quran
so really you are not any different to me than a Jew to you
accidentprone · 22-25, M
@Islamreligion I stand corrected. Mohammad lived about 300 years after the death of Jesus, and 300 years after the Torah was written. But I guess the Quaran was not written until 1100. Anyway, my point is the Old Testament was written before the Quaran and since the Torah is supported by Mohammad, I suspect it is true and anything coming after it is either complimentary or false.
accidentprone · 22-25, M
The Jews have always rejected Jesus, but they are the chosen people, so God always looks to have them as His own, but they always reject His words. But they still exist to this day regardless of their beliefs. I think this is a testament to God to keep his chosen people in existence.
@accidentprone
If we are going to talk about the [b]oldest[/b] scripture google says

The Rigveda, a scripture of Hinduism, is dated 1500 BCE. It is one of the oldest known complete religious texts that has survived into the modern age.”
It’s not the new or the Old Testament.”

So your ideology is faulted .


again the Torah and the teachings of Moses came before the New Testament
& the Jews don’t believe in the New Testament
Why don’t they? They just don’t just like you choose not to believe in a new revelation which is the Quran.
Similarly
The Quran which is another revelation from God just like how the New Testament was a new revelation form God after Old Testament
came after the New Testament
And you don’t believe in it
So you to me like a Jew to you
You are not any different to me than a Jew to you .


And again the Bible is filled with contractions and scientific mistakes which prove its been corrupted and not Gods pure word it’s even proven historically to have been corrupted


The corruption of the original message is the reason God sent Mohammed
That is why God since the beginning of time sent a prophet after the other because man kind kept corrupting the message and deviating from the straight path.

We Muslims believe in Noah Abraham Joseph Isaac Jesus Moses etc
And also in Mohammed
@accidentprone
So according to you most of Gods chosen and beloved people are gone astray ? Lol
Anyways ,
To us Muslims there is no racist thing such as “chosen people “ no matter what you do.
yes God showed the children of Israeli many blessings but that’s due to their actions not their bloodline.

Al-Hujurat - Verse 13
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. [b]Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.[/b]

——-


The reason there were many prophets from decedents of jacob that is because they themselves were good righteous people and deserved to be chosen to be prophets
not the bloodline itself
To us Muslims being Jewish is not equal to being chosen
You are loved and chosen by God by your deeds and action
@accidentprone with your logic

The Torah existed for well over a millennium before Christianity ever existed. The Tanach is at least 700 years older than the Christian Bible
^
Then I guess you should stick to the Torah and stop believing in the New Testament lol

Because the oldest is more accurate according to you no?

Being a Christian and saying I deny Islam although it’s an abrahamic religion solely because Quran came after it

Is very self contradictory
