    Hi friends

    Jesus and Moses are to be believed and respected only as an academic value.The original text of the Bible OT and NT having been lost in the original language; their true meanings also lost in the translations. Muhammad, the last /final or the highest ranking Messenger Prophet of the Creator-God Allah YHWH; has superseded all the previous Prophets including Moses and Jesus.

    Quran- is the only Word revealed that exist in the world in the same pristine text as it was revealed and is inclusive of all the truthful teachings, of all the previous revealed books, that are rational and reasonable.

    Quran gives claims and reasons on all the ethical, moral and spiritual matters that concern the human beings, no external spoon feeding is required. No other Revealed Book has this characteristic.

    Thanks

    I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim

      It is good that you are peaceful - but that was shear passive-aggression.  It appeals to many who are in any set of organized beliefs that they are the ones defending what they believe:  appeals, that is, to defend a GOD instead of allowing such reasonable statements as "you reap what you sow" to take their own course...  YHWH or ALLAH, either way - they are mighty to defend their own honor.  But what good is it, if I may ask, for free will if you are supplied all the reasons to believe if you cannot make up your own mind?  The Biblical account, at least, presupposes that people who believe will have to do some thinking, contemplate, and see themselves in terms of what it may or may not mean to be made " 'IN' the image of GOD". 
      Since he is everywhere (omni present) one could interpret this as being a prepositional sort of creation that man is - literally IN the thing we call God, thinking of him while he is guiding his sheep.  Or you can believe that you look like him, IN his image in that way...  IN our image, according to OUR likeness, and fail to see that this refers to THREE in ONE.  His likeness may be interpreted as being multifaceted - reasonable thinking to me - implying that we can think and we can know to an EXTENT.  but reasonable all the more - you would have to think to come to such conclusions as these....but hey, if you can have a fulfilling life being supplied with "all the reasons" to be moral, honest etc., when have you ever had an inspired thought?  to be able to act as the creator, being made "IN" such an image, or let him guide your thinking since you are IN his omnipesence....  Don't you feel stifled? - even shafted?

      Look, Christians and Muslims need to get more personal and people oriented - that is where God is, too, and ALLAH if he is much of a GOD at all...Abraham - father of the faith... DO YOU THINK HE WAS WALKING AROUND SHOUTING FROM HIS QURAN OR BIBLE?  NO, HE FOLLOWED HIS HEART (had no good or bad book then), AND HE KNEW THAT ALL MEN HAVE IT (CONSCIENCE) AND HE LOVED THE GOD IN HIM AND IN OTHERS, EVEN LIED WHEN HE NEEDED TO...AND LIES ARE NECESSARY AT TIMES, SO IS GRACE, A CHRISTIAN IDEOLOGY - MERCY ...CHRISTIAN...LOVE OF THY NEIGHBOR...CHRISTIAN  - I AM SURE THE QURAN HAS SOME OF THE SAME REASONS FOR BEING, YES? 

      not one person in the genesis story would be a bible thumper or a quran swinger because they were not toting their codexed beliefs underarm like pharisees and their phylactories which god hated and criticized...  they had faith in god in them and others.  i love these inspired books, but if they are for scholarly or academic purposes only, then they will never be understood, or of any other value than a grade.  but when judgement day comes, will there be a reason spoken by either ALLAH or YHWH or YESHUA as to why with all of our study we got it wrong?

      and didn't YESHUA tell the pharisees "you search over and over in the scriptures toiling day and night, and still you do not know the things that I say unto you, if you were of your father Abraham you would have known me because he spoke of me."  Scholars, my friend, instead of friends of men and women - SINNERS - are the first to miss the point - WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR own OR THE SUPPLIED REASONS...

      You can put a name on god, but until you understand him as simply BEING in and of HIMSELF, it won't matter what reason you do what you do say what you say or believe what you believe. 

      "FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD"

      not john q preacher pastor bother priest reverend minister....  and not anyone other than the still small voice in us all that tells us what we already know the reasons for doing - loving!

      i love you man or woman Ahmadi... (I don't know your sex but since you dont have a picture and you say you are a muslim) ...but I bet you are a col guy, err, gal...  and pretty peaceful just like you say! 

      Asalamalakum, and Grace to you from YHWH!!!!  AMEN!

      Your OP is flawed in your own words.

      "No external spoon feeding is required!"

      The Quran is external spoon feeding in and of itself. Duh! It is outside one's consciousness and conscience.

      And, you are correct- It is NOT required.

        NO, SIR - if he is OP then we should actually be defending one another - not the other way around.... 

        why defend something that chose to die while in the flesh, and why defend what cannot die out of it?

        the conscience is the voice that verifies this...  and i am, "correct".  YOU TOO?

            sorry -DUDE, the applicable aspect was throwing me, but thanks for clearing it up, i see your point now...and really - sorry, there was a seemingly close parallel to what I had written.... and I am not defending god, rather, questioning a defense of it on the grounds that it is by virtue of its immortal state, indefensible...  but to defend one's exegesis, now - that is another tale altogether...  i now see how my "OP" is questionable, and my OP...

        That is what I sincerely believe with reasons. Is there any other Revealed Book excepting Quran which provides valid arguments for all the claims in it regarding ethical, moral and spiritual issues. Nobody has mentioned of any such book ; so it is more than an opinion, in my opinion. It is almost a reality or fact unless somebody mentions of such a revealed book.

        Anybody please

            I read the Bible; OT and NT; it is mixed with teachings from Moses and Jesus in their own, though translated and commented. words; nevertheless very good; the rests are only storeys not even correctly described.

            What Bible misses most is the reason and widom part of the teachings and commandments.

            Quran corrects the storys of the Bible ;Quran also mentions the reason and wisdom part of the teachings and makes them reasonable and rational.

            Quran is not against Bible; it renovates Bible and other revealed Word of the religions.

      considering that all of the current academic Islamic scholars are questioning the exsistaance of Muhammed? this is a far stretch to claim.

      The most accurate record of him was 350 years after his death. There are no likenesses of him anywhere, and he wrote nothing down????

      these claims are base-less in truth.

      I'm not sure how you can claim that the Quran is the only religious book which makes claims and gives reasons for ethical, moral, and spiritual matters. ALL religious books make those assertions. The Bible being the most notable one of course.

      Also, your premise that we should accept Jesus and Moses on an academic basis is flawed; Jesus was either the Son of God, a fraud, or a lunatic. I can't say it any better than CS Lewis:

      "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." – Mere Christianity, pages 40-41.

    history of quran or koran:
    Islam holds that the Qur’an was revealed from God to Muhammad ORALLY through the angel Gabriel (Gabriel is one of yahwehs angels) over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning in 610 ad, when he was 40, and concluding in 632 ad, the year of his death. Muslims further believe that the Qur’an was memorized, recited and written down by Muhammad's companions after every revelation dictated by Muhammad. Most of Muhammad's companions—10s of thousands—learned the Qur’an by HEART, repeatedly recited in front of Muhammad for his approval or the approval of other Sahaba Muhammad had approved. The companions also compiled it in written form while Muhammad was alive. Muslim tradition agrees that although the Qur’an was authentically memorized completely by tens of thousands verbally, the Qur’an was still established textually into a single book form shortly AFTER Muhammad's death by order of the first Caliph Abu Bakr suggested by his future successor Umar.
         My question still stands. Why would god de-necessitate the act of his son for the propitiation of sin, 600 yrs later. Jesus last words were it is finished, was he lying? NO. Why would God, yahweh dictate a completely different set of doctrines:
             BIBLE                                  QUR'AN
    Jesus is God in flesh (Col. 2:9)     Jesus is not God (5:17, 75)
    Jesus was crucified (1 Pet. 2:24)     Jesus not Crucified, (4:157)
    Jesus rose from dead (John 2:19-20)     Jesus did not rise from dead
    Jesus was the Son of God (Mark 1:1)     Jesus not Son of God (9:30)
    Holy Spirit, 3rd person in the Godhead   Holy Spirit is the angel   
    (John 14:26; 15:26)                                 Gabriel (2:97; 16:102)
    Salvation by grace through faith                Salvation by sincerity and
    (Eph. 2:8-9).                                        works (3:135; 7:8-9; 21:47)
    Man is fallen, a sinner (Rom. 3:23).         Man is basically good
    Disciples were Christians (Acts 11:26).    Disciples Muslims (5:111)
    Miracles recorded (1 Cor. 15:3-5, etc.)           Qur'an is a miracle.
    Numerous Prophecies (Isaiah 53; Micah 5:2, etc.)  No prophecies.

    Based on these truths about the differences between Quran and bible how is possible that God would contradict himself in such a blatant manner? I am extra appauled that Gabriel was blamed for this atrocity.

      Revealed books? Nice way to put it considering the qu'ran was revealed to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel (or so he says)! He was a self proclaimed prophet! Prophets of the true God were known and proved by their wondrous miracles! Such as Moses! Moses did many wondrous miracles! Mohammad did zero miracles! Also God never sent an angel to call a true prophet of him. He always came himelf... such as Moses in the burning bush! Yet muhammad claims God sent Gabriel!  No witnesses! Just his tall tales!

      So the Qu'ran is the one true revealed book? I think NOT!

      Jesus is not for "acedemic" value! He is the true, one and only Son of God!

        All prophets are self proclaimed; the Creator -God Allah YHWH choses them and askas/commands them to proclaim; so they proclaim. Moses, Krishna, Buddha , Zoroaster, Jesus all were chosen likewise.

        Do you think there is an election for a Prophet and people put votes in a ballot box; and they are elected?

          No I don't think there is an election. I think God choses his prophets as he did Moses! And he gives them the power to do miracles so people will know they are truly a prophet of God and not self proclaiming a lie! The Meccan people didn't believe Muhammad to be a prophet of God.. that why Muhammad forced them by war to believe! A very peaceful man indeed! Doesn't sound like someone called by God To me!

          The Qu'ran is nothing but all hearsay! The whole book is based one man's false teachings and lies. It was all for his own personal gain.

          But hey... believe what you want to Paarsurry. My problem with you is where you continue to make Jesus out to be just a prophet and put him in the same category as a false prophet like Muhammad. A know thief and pervert!

          Everything posted about Jesus, he says is hearsay! My point with this post is that if he believes those are hearsay then he must agree the entire Qu'ran is hearsay because it was all written by others...

          He starts it Pisean. He will not stop putting down christians... my point is he needs to look at his own faith first!

    what have you exposed, NOTHING I am still waiting for you to expose someting. You only expose that you can  insult Jesus Christ and quote some mombo jumbo which is in your mind only. What have you EXPOSED NOTHING
    What have you PROVEN NOTHING
    Any body can INSULT with out proof.
    OK try again EXPOSE SOMETHING WITH PROOF!!!!!!
    you say you love Jesus and Mary so why do you insult who you love!!!!
    I try not to INSULT the Quran.
    you go out of your way to INSULT CHRISTIANS and JESUS  WHY DO YOU DO THIS??

    Are you so scared of Jesus?
    Are you so scared of Christians?
    Are you so scared you can only make mindless INSULTS???
    Tell me why does the Quran command you to lie to non belivers to protect Islam?

    Even the Meccans NEVER BELIVED Mohammed you had to have a 'peacefull' WAR to convert them to the Quran?
    Are you now going to have to start a war to try to make Christians and Jews belive the Quran,BECAUSE that war you will NEVER WIN!!!!!!!!!!
    remember every time Islam goes to WAR with the Jews THEY KICK  Islams sorry ass !!!!!!
    over to you try to answer with out insulting Jesus or changing the subject!!!

    Do you have to try and prove Jesus Christ " The Son of God' wrong so the Quran looks RIGHT. If this is the case you are ' just flogging a dead horse' guess you must try , even if you are so wrong,at least the Bible has stood the test of time, the Quran has not stod the test of time, people still argue 'is the quran' the word of God or Just a made up book, The Christians had the Bible the Jews had  the Torah the arabs had NOTHING so was the Quran invented just for the Arabs??????

    There is no Revealed Books excepting Quran which provides valid arguments for all the claims/teachings in it regarding ethical, moral and spiritual issues.

    Why not the Bible has this characteristic?

      paarsurrey, please as you are a peacefull Muslim ( I read your link)and I respect that. But you do yourself a disservice by attacking Saint Paul and the Church.I and 100% of Christians do not and never will accept that Jesus died in Inda, Jesus died on the cross, and it is a Insult to all Christians for you to say he did not.Christians are insulted when you attack the Christian faith. If you are a peacefull person, why do you only attack the Christian FAITH, by doing so it can be precieved that you are not peacefull.
      Why do you not attack the Jewish faith,or Budda or any other eastern Religion  or any other splinter churches there are many to pick from. But you only attack the Christians I might point out that as a Muslim you CANNOT defend Jesus or Mary, Jesus was born of Mary and is the Son of God PERIOD. so if you are a PEACEFULL MUSLIM you will never ATTACK another FAITH like you attack the Christian faith.If you belive what you say sinerely, and you cannot say what you belive without attacking the Christian Faith, please just say nothing. Pratice being peacefull KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. If you cannot then you are NOT peacefull nor honest and if the attacks KEEP up Islam will be attacked, let us be PEACEFULL you say you are peacefull now prove it , just keep your mouth SHUT. If you cannot stop your attacks and lies about the Christian faith you are not peacefull or honorable just a rabble rouseing ill informed Muslim, are you truely PEACEFULL I'll wait and see.Thank you Peacefull Muslim God bless.

      paarsurrey  Let me get this straight. God told gabriel what to say to Muhammid. Muhammid told his followers what Gabriel had said, then they repeated it and wrote it down. Lets assume that Muhammid and the followers got it right. Then Gabriel said, that Jesus was not the son of God. Wasn't it Gabriel that announced to Mary, that she would be the son of God. To believe you, I must believe that Gabriel is a liar. If I believe Gabriel is a liar, then how can I believe anything that is written in the Quran, as they are his words repeated by Muhammid. I'm sorry, but to me the Quran does not make any sense.

            I have read your above  post.

            You have mentioned God and hereafter in your initial some lines; when your actual experience gets started; it nowhere mentions God. Why?

            In the light of your experience; how would you describe God?

            If a Hindu individual sees such an experience and relates it to Krishna as God; what would you feel about such a Hindu person.

You would disregard anything they said because they have not backed their statement up with facts. Everyone here is waiting for you to back up the Koran with facts.

                Quran mention the facts with reasons which Bible has lost; and the Christians have to add wisdom to the mouth of the christian-god.

                Now we start with Trinity; Jesus never mentioned it.

                Quran corrects it:

                [5:73] Indeed they are disbelievers who say, ‘Surely, Allah is none but the Messiah, son of Mary,’ whereas the Messiah himself said, ‘O children of Israel, worship Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord.’ Surely, whoso associates partners with Allah, him has Allah forbidden Heaven, and the Fire will be his resort. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers.
                [5:74] They are surely disbelievers who say, ‘Allah is the third of three;’ there is no God but the One God. And if they do not desist from what they say, a grievous punishment shall surely befall those of them that disbelieve.
                [5:75] Will they not then turn to Allah and beg His forgiveness, while Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful?
                [5:76] The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a Messenger; surely, Messengers like unto him had indeed passed away before him. And his mother was a truthful woman. They both used to eat food. See how We explain the Signs for their good, and see how they are turned away.
                [5:77] Say, ‘Will you worship beside Allah that which has no power to do you harm or good?’ And it is Allah Who is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
                [5:78] Say, ‘O People of the Book! exceed not the limits in the matter of your religion unjustly, nor follow the evil inclinations of a people who went astray before and caused many to go astray, and who have strayed away from the right path.’
                [5:79] Those amongst the children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress.
                [5:80] They did not prohibit one another from the iniquity which they committed. Evil indeed was that which they used to do.

                  do you realy belive this rubish, Paar after all there is NO PROOF of the quran, no outside proof, only a claim that Mohammed saw a 'ANGEL' and Mohammed could not write it down as Mohammed could not read or write. He only got rid of the 'ANGEL' when his wife 'flashed her private's" because Mohammed was so scared it took his wife hours to calm Mohammed down, a 'ANGEL' from God I think not. Then the only way the Quran was written down was many of Mohamed 's followers memorised Mohammeds words to later be written down again by many, and NO ONE made a mistake, do you really accept that???

                  So we have a Quran that was memorised by many, then written down by many, and then you try to make prople belive this was the work of God.

                  Paar the Quran offers NO PROOF the Quran wants us to belive that it contains proof of the Quran in the Quran and the Quran proves the truth of the Quran OH REALLY PULL THE OTHER LED MY DISBELIVING FRIEND
                  wow the Quran is full of truth because the Quran says so, the Quran was written by many hundreds of scribes and they all said the same thing I DO NOT BELIVE THAT PERIOD

                What skill they showed? They only covered three years of his life; while Jesus lived about 125 years and then died a natural and peaceful death in India. Even for those three years they have contradictions; so they had hardly any good skills of writing. It is for this that many paragraphs have been added later in time.

                  Jesus died in his early thirties!

                  Not contradictions.. it's called different view points! Nobody has the same view of something... I dont' care who you are! Take three people and have them all three watch and event... then have them write down what they saw! all three will see things the other one didn't...

                  Paar... look at the Qu'ran and leave the Bible on the shelf! You don't know it!

      The bible was definitely written in earlier times and by highly skilled writers.

        paar you insulting ( so called Muslim) get this though your stupid head Jesus died on the Cross ( no one came down alive)
        evem mainstrean Muslims admit Jesus was on the cross ( but they also insult, they say Allah saved Jesus, ANOTHER PEACEFULL INSULT)
        paar get this through your THICK HEAD, Islam is not peacefull , Christan's ARE  PEACEFULL, Allah even had to go to war with the Meccans because they ( THe Meccans) said Mohammed was not a prophet,so right from the start Islam was starting WAR'S!!
        Paar please do not ever say the writers of the Bible did not have good skill's after  all Mohammed could not read or write, so the Quran is based on the Bible and the torah and many other religious books, based on the memory of Mohammed then based on the memory of hundreds, written after Mohammeds death, by many when their writing's could not be questioned . After all Mohammed was dead, so the Quran could not be questioned by Mohammed. Wake up paar you are on a big loseing streak. I must say paar I do not insult Mohammed, just give my feelings on what men say is the word of Mohammed, but you have been told that No Muslim or Christian or Jew belives Jesus went to India, you utter pure lies about Jesus, you insult me, you insult yourself and prove you can only lie and insult Jesus so paar SHUT YOUR FOUL MOUTH. JESUS NEVER WAS IN INDIA!!!!! so keep your LIES to your self, you do not speak for Muslims christians or Jews, you only speak for a BANNED SECT , you are Not True belivers, and are EVEN BANNED from Mecca.
        And paar as you are not a Muslim , you have no backing from mainstream Islam please do not claim to be Muslim, you are at best A BANNED SECT.

      just a foot note. PHD had a near death experiance, no one can question that it happened to PHD. I myself also have had a near death experiance in 1975 when I lay in a coma packed in ice because my body was burning up with a temp of 39c to 40c for over 5 days, my heart stoped many times my lungs stopped many times by the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ I like PHD survived, I had a group of Catholic Nuns praying for me around the clock.I still carry the scars of massive injuries,what happened to me and what happened to PHD , is between us and Jesus Christ, I know deep im my soul, the power of prayer, of Gods fogiveness, of Gods Mercey, I can say a lot more but it is verry personal between  my self and my saviour Jesus.

      In my entire life I have never heard of a Muslim haveing a 'near death' experiance, makes you think.............................

          why should it be questioned, it is something that happened between God and PHD, paar somethings happen because of faith,and faith is a belief,also 'near death' experiances appear to only happen to Christians, so you can never understand.
          As I said I have never heard of it happining to a  Muslim , so how can you even begin to understand?

            If the same experience is narrated by a Hindu and he sees Krishna as a god; won't the Hindu be questioned?

              I do not care about your Hindu, I do not accept Krishna as my God , so it is of no interest to me as a Christian. As a member of a islamic cult ( there  words not mine) why do you worry about a Hindu, I don't worry about a Hindu, why do you.
              He has his belief, it is not my belief so it matters not.
