The Bible degrades the Prophets of God by vilification:
For a Muslim, many of the claims to be found in the Bible with regard to the prophets of God. One is hard pressed to find a single prophet or messenger who was not a drunkard, an idolater, an adulterer, guilty of incest, a liar, and so forth. The Bible practically overflows with such stories from almost every Tom, Dick, and Harry. The messengers of God are even made to be guilty of multiple cases of adultery and worse. Abraham (pbuh) is alleged to be a liar and worse (Genesis 12:13). Noah (pbuh) a drunkard (Genesis 9:21). Lot (pbuh) a drunkard and guilty of incest (Genesis 19:30-38). Solomon (pbuh) a worshipper of idols in his old age (1 Kings 4-9), King David (pbuh) commits adultery with Uriah's wife and then murdered her husband (2 Samuel 11:3-4,15-18), David's son Ammon is guilty of incest and the rape of his half sister (2 Samuel 13:14). Aaron (pbuh) fashions an idol (the golden calf) for the Jews to worship (Exodus 32:1-4), to name but a very few of the many allegations to be found in the current Bible.

According to the Priest of Saint Mary's Catholic Church: "Mary was approximately 14 years old when she got pregnant with Jesus. Joseph, Mary's Husband is believed to be around 36. Mary was only 13 when she married Joseph. When she first was arranged with Joseph she was between 7 to 9 years old."
According to the "Oxford Dictionary Bible" commentary, Mary (peace be upon her) was was 12 years old when she became impregnated.
When we read the Bible, we learn about some Prophets marrying many wives, even hundreds of wives in some cases. Let us look at some of the verses from the Old Testament:
2006-09-21 23:07:16 · update #1
In Exodus 21:10, a man can marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry.
In 2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3, King David had six wives and numerous concubines.
In 1 Kings 11:3, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
In 2 Chronicles 11:21, King Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines
And knowing that the Bible's Old Testament allowed before for men to have sex with girls who were at the age of 3, then it wouldn't surprise me that those Prophets who had 700 wives for instance, had many very young "teenage" girls before as their wives.

It wouldn't surprise me if they too had wives that were younger than Mary when she got pregnant, and younger than Aisha when she got married.

There is none absolutely any verses in The Qura that degrade all God messenger.
There is no more true Bible exist, it has been corrupted by human hand, thats is why there is verses degrading the prophet

umm, you do realize that the standards were a bit different back then, right?
like lot's daughters thought those 3 were the only ones left in the whole world, so they got him so drunk he couldn't see straight, dressed themselves up and made him think they were prostitutes or something (... I guess he was *REALLY* drunk... ) like that, so he didn't quite know what he was doing.
and also remember back then multiple wives wasn't that big of a deal.... its profoundly unreasonable to judge one time's behavior by another time's standards.
as for the age thing? umm. get over it? accept that at the time period in general males would be seen as mature adults (of course, a person treated like an adult that early, would be prone to gaining more maturity and acting like one out of neccessity... ) and when you'd be happy to live to 50 most of the time,and the whole world being alot harsher a place, you don't have as much time to waste. I mean think if people were treated and allowed to act like children til they were like 20 or 30, rather than being expected to at least start acting more like adults by late teens.

God has a purpose for whole human race. He sent many prophets to show His will. God is a righteous God. some time god uses people and at that time the devil brings pride in to them and they fall. Then God has to use another person. God communicate through people. The devil also communicate through people. God is for good, but the devil is for bad.

What is a yad stick? And as far as the prophets are concerned, it just goes to show that God can speak through anyone, no matter how flawed they are. And Fyi, Lots daughters got him drunk and raped him. He didn't sleep with them on purpose.

Abraham lied because the pharohs were like your stupid mohammed, they would hav killed him to sleep with his wife And there is no law that says people cannot drink wine, it saysTO drink it actually. And the rest were just men, and did not admit to be prophets, unlike that pig who stars in the quran. besides, nowhere in the new testament do any of that happen.
