I think if you don't follow the particular religion of a certain book that you can still feel a lot of the things written in them mean something deep to you and follow them anyway without the practices that go along with the religion. I myself have read parts of the Bible, Quran and Bhagavad Gita... and picked up a lot of profound appreciation for God from all.

The Muslims has there own Bible=Qur'an. Their own verses and beliefs; trust me. Isn't anything like what you think! For instance.
>Qur'an 8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels, so wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His apostles". (And I have lots more verses, that's just a start!!)
The Jews and the Christians have the same God, but some of the beliefs are different; it just depends on what faith the Christian is to. But the Muslim has their own book to go by, and it is NOT THE HOLY BIBLE! The book speaks of torture and killings. I have that book because I study different faiths. Your mind would be shell shocked to see what is inside of it. They may "speak of peace", but their book is full of angry toward Jews and Christian (we are infidels to them). Just be warned is all.

I believe Muslims do not preach of God being God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit. I think they reject this idea, but in general Bible believers take this to mean that God has three main parts but he is still one God. I think the Quran does not endorse this idea, however. And I think the Bible and Quran are at odds in details.

of course it is. the books are just guidelines to proper behavior. u know right and wrong in your heart already. just do the right thing and u should always be fine. the labels of christian and muslim and jew are just a few of the many ways people draw lines between themselves and others. we're all people and all religions since the beginning of time are pretty much designed to do the same thing which is keep the masses under control

Its the same God in the Bible, QUran, and the Torah, but the messengers and foundation of the religions is different.

I agree. All the holy books say the same thing essentially and that is to love and respect each other and not say or do anything that would hurt any other being. You don't need to be a christian or a muslim or a jew to follow this. Its the very basis of being a good human being. Thats it.

I dont think that you can truely follow the Quraan and believe in it if you dont consider yourself a muslim. i suppose in practise you could follow certain parts but it seems contradictory. I do think theres a universal message contained in both the Quraan and bible. Being a Muslim is following the Quraan. The Prophet (SAW) showed us how to practise whats in the Quraan so if your following the Quraan you would have to be a Muslim. Unless you dont believe everything in it then your just a hypocrite for picking and choosing parts that suit you.

Not by word both say you only to have one god (different). In Bible you also have to believe that Jesus was son of god, impossible for Quran follower.
Teachings Yes. Also buddhism and kung-fu-tse have good teachings

You cannot follow the Bible and not be Christian, because it tells you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you do not do it you are not following the Bible.
