They are all man made. If The Almighty spoke though any of them the words and predictions would be flawless and would have taken place. They would be historically and factually accurate. There would be answers that would be universal truths. The leaps of faith they demand would be unnecessary since there would be no need for it as the truth of those words would be self evident.
I just read the "amazing facts" They convinced me that the Bible is hooey written by post Bronze Age Primitives with fantastic imaginations. Why all the gates in heaven. Who are they trying to keep out, the Scientologists?
Kishie, Why did "the Great Prophet" ride on Pegasus? Answer to convince the locals he was the true ordained one. Winged horses have never existed anymore than the Cyclops or trolls. That's why it (the Quoran) is man made.
SFDX The fact that a religion has a large number of followers doesn't make it anymore true. The Mayans, Aztecs, Eqyptians, Sumerians, and others had large numbers of practitioners and the religions lasted hundreds if not thousands of years. Did you mummify Aunt Polly or tear the heart of your sacrificial victim at temple last week? The fact the practice is widespread and has a history is meaningless in proving it is truth.
Julie S Willingness to die is not proof of being the chosen one anymore than the members of the UFO cult that committed mass suicide thinking they would be beamed aboard a space cruiser hiding behind a comet a few years back (See Heavens Gate Cult)

First, none of the above are man made. But let me clarify. False religions have at their root Satan and his demons who lead false teachers and their followers into deception. This is the case with Islam. Islam is a false religion. Judaism on the other hand was the religion of God's chosen people starting with the time of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Moses, etc. all throughout the Old Testament. Christ then came in the incarnation to fulfill the law that was given through Moses. This did not mean the Jews were no longer Jews, but that a new covenant was established that offered God's cleansing of sin to all mankind through the shed blood of Jesus. God's Word (the Bible) is the strong, well thought out book you need. All the proof and evidence you needs lay within the scriptures. Seek the scriptures and ask the Lord to open you up to its truths.

All history is doubtful in my opinion. But from a different point of view, if u don't believe god exists, where did all this world and life cycle in all it's complications and delicate details come from? And if he does exist do you think he would just leave us to cut each other's throats and then not punish the bad guys?
If he will punish, and this is all just one big test, don't you think it would be unfair of him not to tell us what the rules are? If he is unfair and mean, why did he give every living creature the gift of adaptation to their environment, along with an endless list of blessings we live in daily and take for granted just because they've always been there, couldn't he have made life much harder and take away our ability to kill ourselves for example? If he is going to tell us, will he resend it to each generation over and over because we don't believe in history? Wouldn't the message become old news and we would start asking to stop it cause we get the picture? If his messengers weren't Mosses, Jesus and Mohammad, who were they, and why should I believe they are the other guys and not these?
Besides, going through the teachings of prophets you will come across some very strange similarities in the messages and life stories of these very different, separate people. Sure the first one made it up and the rest heard about it and played along. OK> then u come across all the future telling they did and came true.
Fine, some future tellers told lots of things that happened but didn't claim prophecy. Then you come to scientific or medical advice they gave to people thousands of years ago that our modern research is only just discovering, another lucky strike? I think there are too many coincidences here!
Besides the same sources that told us they existed and these are their instructions also told us they performed miracles, so why should I believe the existence and instructions but leave out the miracles? And if I believe it all, how do you explain the miracles, yet another coincidence?
The bottom line is, it's not about what their names were or any other detail, step by step you might reach the conclusion that someone, or several ones should have existed and I think these guys, with all they brought to us, are good enough candidates, so why not believe?

1. Islam is man-made. Read the Koran and you will see.
2. Judaism, and subsequently, Christianity is based on God reaching to man rather than the other way around. Only God would set up a system whereby God restores the bonds to Himself by making the sacrifice, rather than putting man in a no-win situation. Judaism, points to this futuristically. Christianity points to it as having been fulfilled.
If you want to see man-made religions, look at humanism and atheism.

Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus is real and is alive today. Jesus is coming back for His church in our lifetime. This is a fact and it is not man made or made up. People can take it or leave it. God gave every one the same freedom to choose, good or evil. You choose. This topic has been so over used on here, and the answer will always be the same. It will not change just because a different person posts it again and again and again.

Christianity was not man-made because no man would agree to go to a cross to die. Jesus knew where God was leading Him, though he trusted and submitted to God's will regardless of the consequences.
Jesus rebuked Peter for doubting that He really was to be crucified. Only a divine being would want to be so clear about his own death. Only a divine being would make sense of a King washing the disciples' feet, which Jesus washed. Jesus was so humble, and I know that God was the inspiration behind Jesus' ministry.

Look at their influence. This is the big proof. If they were man-made, then it means they are false, not divine. If they were false, then it was impossible that more than half of the world people belong to one of these three religions, meaning belong to lies. Check out history. Check in science. Look in wordly affairs. False and lies can't have such huge and substantial impact.

I would begin by testing the Bible to see if it were made up stories or actual events. If one can prove the validity and reality of the Bible, then Christianity should be given an ounce of credibility.

I give up ! I can not ! I agree !
All the books, the manuscripts. are recorded because Rich MEN directed and edited them. The rulers, Kings, Emperor's and all the others just killed anyone who disagreed. See the fear to defy Allah :) I love I am free. But I love God!
