If GOD is perfect and the only one why did he send us 3 holy books?

Question

he sent the torah and say this book was forever but then he sent th ebible then th ekoran, why didnt he sent only one holy book for all the mankind?

Answer 1

May be GOD wanted to so things slowly for the human kind, and remmeber each book complete each other, the boble completes the torah who will always be unique, an dthe koran the last book completes the first 2.

Answer 2

Mankind need thousands of Holy Books from God to build an ever-advancing civilization. God can combine all those thousands of Books in one Book, but mankind cannot record it, understand it and keep it authentic through times. That is why we have the Bhagavad Gita, the Torah, the Evangiles, the Quran, the Bayan, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, and so on.
No country would give the first grader one book comprising all books in its educational system for a thousand years! And know that the educational system of God is innumerable times greater.

Answer 3

It's strange how people accuse God for what mankind has done. The truth is man continuously strays from the truth which God has sent. God had to send many Prophets, signs, disasters, blessings, etc ... besides the scriptures to direct mankind towards to truth. It is the people who were given the scriptires who changed them over the centuries into words which they preferred. This is what Allah teaches us in the Quran and evidence for this can be found when looking at the current day versions of the Tora and Bible. This is why Muslims have never strayed away from the original script of the Quran. The underlying message is exactly the same ... there is only One God, no other ... who created everything ... sees all ... knows all. etc etc. It is mankinds arrogance which leads him to invent a different "truth" which he prefers. Like Christians who now believe they don't need to follow any rules because Jesus dies for their sins. It's not Gods methods which should be questioned but our response which is questionable. Ultimate reality will remain ultimate reality but we have a duty to find it with sincerity.

Answer 4

The Torah is the first 4 books of the Bible, The Bible is a continuation of the Torah which helps to include Christians not just Jews.

The koran is a false book from a false religion.

I have not doubt that this truth will be considered intolerant, sorry but it's still the truth.

Answer 5

Are the ebible and ekoran the electronic versions as god moves into the 21st century and embraces new technology at last? Does that mean there are now 5 holy books including the bible and the koran? I presume those stone tablets, although long lasting, were prone to damage if dropped and expensive to post.

In reality, I'm surprised you limited your favourite god's books to judaism, christianity and muslims. Every major religion has it's own version of their god's true "Idiot's Guide to Life as a Believer of the One True and Only God". It's just that the jews, christians and muslims have some evolutionary common ancestor in the past out which have sprung their three species. Religious evolution in action!

Answer 6

Wakey, wakey. There are hundreds of "holy" books given by one god or another. In the case of the Abrahamic books, the earliest is the Torah. In it God states categorically that it is a Torah for all time and not so much as a letter may be changed. If you believe that the Torah is God given, then both the bible and the koran are blatant heresies (go buy your beard quickly, the stoning's this afternoon!). If not, then they're all equal rubbish and the sooner they're burned and forgotten the better for all of us.

Answer 7

Thank you for a very good question! In the Quran we are told that if all the world's oceans were ink and all the trees were pens, there would still not be enough ink or pens to write the complete eternal truth of God.

We are also told that each society was given a prophet to deliver a message in the language of that people. But it is important to note that the message that each of these prophets delivered was the same eternal message.

Different people's understand this message in different ways, and yes, people also use the scriptures in ways that best advance their own personal causes. This leads sometimes to the human interference in scripture.

Be that as it may, God's message has been delivered in different forms over the course of history because of the differences in language and society, but the differences in these scriptures are mostly minor when dealing with the revealed portions. And even Jesus, peace be upon him, said that he had come to re-establish the law, not to change it. And the Quran tells us to respect the scriptures that were revealed before it and the prophets who came before Muhammad, peace be upon him and all of them.

But even in that, the scriptures of all religions, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, Zoroastrian, Jewish, Christian, Muslim and many many more, are just excerpts from the ultimate, eternal book. If you want to read that, the signs are in you and in the world around you.

Peace and Blessings,

almost none of you have any idea what your talking about. I've studied judaism, christianity, and islam. Non-devotional study that is.
The books were all written at VERY different times. The Torah is the first five books of the old testament and is mainly concerned with jewish law. These were written before Jesus's "arrival."
The new testament, which contains countless flaws, discrepancies, anachronisms, etc... was written after his arrival and "departure" if you will.
The Qur'an is almost completely unrelated. It was written several hundred years after the Bible. As Islamic religion holds, the Qur'an is the exact word of Allah (God) dictated to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. The Qur'an does not read in chronological order, it goes by number of words per "chapter". The longest chapter being first, and the shortest being last.
Muhammad is not claimed to be son of God, or even divine in any way.
P.S. to say that the most recent must be the most perfect or whatever, would be to say that the Qur'an is the most perfect. Which is blasphemy to any christian.
Not that i put stock into what christians think...

Oh, and who mentioned the book of mormon?? please.... The mormons are not even in the picture. I mean for God's sake ( no pun intended) they believe that Eden is in suburban Missouri.
And thats the tip of the iceberg.
There are hundreds of branches of christianity... many of which have branched of VERY far.... into things such as Mormon, ICOC (International Church of Christ... please see www.reveal.org), etc.

The first two were meant specifically for a group of people at certain times. The holy Quran is the final preserved book for every body every where and at any time. The Quran differ in being meant as a challenging miracle and preserved accurately the first two were not. Jesus and Moses PBUT miracles were different and also limited to their people at their time; the Quran is eternal and global. My own advise to you and to other YA participants is to respect God and be sincere and willing to know Him then He will open the doors of guidance for you, but if you keep mentioning Him disrespectfully He will let you do that but will never guide you till you face your evil fate.

The Koran is one of the world’s classics which cannot be translated without grave loss. It has a rhythm of peculiar beauty and cadence that charms the ear. … Indeed it may be affirmed that within the literature of the Arabs, wide and fecund as it is both in poetry and in elevated prose, there is nothing to compare with it.
Over a period of many months the Koran has been my constant companion, the object of my most attentive study. Though many can certainly claim to have read the Koran, indeed over and over again, and to know it well, I think it may be reasonably asserted that their understanding and appreciation of the book will always fall short of what may be attained by one who undertakes to translate it in full and with all possible fidelity. I had myself studied the Koran and perused it from end to end over many years, before I embarked upon making a version of it; assuredly the careful discipline of trying to find the best English equivalent for every meaning and every rhythm of the original Arabic has profoundly deepened my own penetration into the heart of the Koran, and has at the same time sharpened my awareness of its mysterious and compelling beauty. For this reason, if for no other, I think it is justifiable to adopt the unusual procedure of adding a separate preface to the second installment of a two volume work. I suppose I shall never again recapture the freshness and excitement of the experience just now completed; the passing months and years will inevitably blur the image; this is the moment, or never, to attempt to record the impact which a sustained and concentrated exploration of the Koran has left on my mind and my heart”. Professor Arthur J. Arberry a scholar who translated the Quran into English.

Answer 10

You assume every book that is labeled holy was sent by God. You must remember that if there is a God there is an anti-God or Satan in the Christian religion. Satan's business is to try to deceive, lie, and cheat to cost men their souls. So ofcourse if God sends men the bible, Satan is going to have alternatives to lead men off tract. Even now we have things like the Da Vinci Code and The Book of Judahs to attempt to persuade men away from biblical truths
