Markers

The Bible has no revealed verse that marks its beginning or its end.

The Quran has a verse which tells by its very meaning that here is the beginning of revelation. It says,"Read in the name of your Lord who created..." (Quran: 96:1). The Quran also has a verse that marks the end of revelation: "Today I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (Quran: 5:3).

The Bible never said that God chose Christianity to be the religion of a man. The Bible does not even mention the word "Christianity". The Quran mentions the name of the religion of Islam and marks the beginning of revelation and the end of it and the completion of the religion as revealed by God.

Had the Bible been God's word, some markers of beginning and end of revelation would have appeared in it.

Which book seems to you to be God's pure word: the Bible or the Quran?

Time Factor:

The Bible was written from the time of Moses, i.e., about 1213 B.C., to the time of Jesus' Disciples, i.e., about 100 A.D. This means that the Bible was completed along about thirteen hundred years and written by scores of known and unknown writers.

The Quran was revealed along a period of twenty-three years, which is the duration extending from the start of Muhammad's mission when he was forty years old until the end of his mission when he died at the age of sixty-three.

Which do you feel at rest with as a book of God: the Bible, which was written along one thousand and three hundred years, OR the Quran, which was revealed along twenty-three years only?

Holy or Not?

The Bible includes thousands of mistakes by the admission of Christian scholars. Many book appeared explication those mistakes in detail. The author of this book has written two books on the same subject in Arabic: one about the corruption of the Old Testament and one about the corruption of the New Testament.

If the Bible has 30,000 to 50,000 mistakes, it cannot be God's word. It cannot be used as a trusted book. It cannot be a reliable source. It cannot be "Holy".

Christianity cannot refer to the Bible as God's word, simply because it cannot be God's word. God does not send a book with 50,000 mistakes!! Not even a normal human sane writer can possibly write a book with so many mistakes.

What is called the "Holy Bible" is not actually "holy". No objective man can call a book with 50,000 or 30,000 mistakes as God's word or as a "holy" book.

In contrast, the Quran is faultless. It has one single version. It has never been modified or adapted or revised, nor will it ever be.

Which do you choose for a reliable book of guidance: the Bible with its 30,000 mistakes of the faultless Quran?
