do you actually read the bible and understand deeply what they are talking about? cause when you study it, it says in the bible, jesus said that mohammmad is the last messenger of god. and we are to follow his teachings.
the religion islam is what all the prophets has been practicing. and it has been misunderstood,hence the religion has been split into so many other religion which eventually (the teachings) went astray. what is in the quran is very precise compare to the bible.
what do u think?
jesus did say that there will be the last messenger of god. if you still deny it then i guess you didnt really read and understand the bible. not to mention a few priest i know convert to islam after reading the quran. a PRIEST! not an ordinary person. why is that? From what I have studied, what is in the bible is also in the quran.

one more thing, who said that islam teaches how to kill people? what you see nowadays on the media are people who use 'islam' just to give the religion a bad name. i cant belive you buy what the tv says instead of reading and find out the truth.
One last thing. Quran has only one version. Why does bible have so many version? Which one is true?
please give your honest and intelligent opinion and not racist and prejudice remarks. thank you =)

What scripture in the Bible does it mention Mohammed's name? I have read the Bible all of my life (since I learned to read ) and I have never once come to any passage in the Bible that has the name Mohammed even mentioned. If you give me a scripture and I see it in my Bible maybe I would be convinced. Until then, your argument is not valid. I love the Bible and pay close attention to all the teachings of Jesus and what he said in the New Testament. I have never known any verse in the NT to ever make reference to the name Mohammed. You need to read the Bible for yourself to see what Jesus said.

There is only ONE Bible, just in various versions. This is done so people have an easier time understanding what they are reading. I only read the KJV which I think was the first to be translated in its entirety, and I heard that if King James found out someone else had a different version of the bible out, he would have them executed, like I said...that's what I've heard. I have not read the Koran nor have I been able to find one to read, but where in the Bible does Jesus say that Mohammad will come after to be the last messenger of God. I may have missed that one somewhere, after reading the Bible completely. I understand that the Koran is misunderstood, and that muslims are not violent people or a violent religion. I thought also the Koran was written after the Bible therefore that would explain alot of the similarities between them. The Bible also states that "I and my Father are one...If you have seen Me then you have seen the Father." This is just my opinion, don't have time or room to fully discuss.

I seem to have missed the part where Jesus says that Mohammmad is the last messenger of God. If you could provide chapter and verse reference, I would be very interested to read it.
As for different versions of the Bible, they vary in language as does the Quran, but not in spiritual content. Unless you think that an English Quran is different in content from an Arabic Quran. A King James Bible is not different in message from a New International Version Bible. Just different phrasing of the same content.
From what I have been led to believe, many of the trappings of Islam are not in the Quran but are custom, tradition, interpretations, and rulings given by Islamic leaders down through history. Is violent jihad as opposed to spiritual jihad in the Quran? Where? Is Sharia law in the Quran?
In the Bible, the Old Testament is considerably different from the New Testament. The Old is provided to tell what our spititual heritage is and the New is the fulfillment and completion of the Old. The New supercedes the Old. Not as tidy as a single, one-author volume, but God inspires whom He will.

Where do you get Jesus saying Mohammed being the last messenger of God? Mo was NEVER EVER mentioned in the Bible! Christians don't believe in jihad, they believe in persecution! Jesus did mention false prophets coming after Him! Plus, the many versions of the Bible are just put into english that we can understand! It's too difficult to understand ye olde english! They are all the same, just different versions of english!
But I think the Bible should've stayed in an original language, say Greek! I mean, the Torah is in Hebrew and the quran is in arabic...dunno why the Bible couldn't stay in and original language!

I have read the bible through many times - Muhammed is never mentioned. find your source and read that verse in the bible yourself. You will then agree. Then since you are there, look for Mecca and Medina - neither are mentioned.
Yes Christianity took 1000 years to become Catholic, and Easter orthodox, then 500 more for Protestants. Islam became Sunni, and Sheite after 4 generations of Caliphs.
Yes the quran is similar to bible in many stories. It leaves out every aspect of blood for forgivness though.
From Adam +Eve with the fig leaf / lkilled lamb for hide.
to passover - Moses has 9 plagues in quran.
all over this little deception changes the truth of the Word.
I know several Imans that became Christian, so Priests that becam Muslim is no different.
I do want to commend you for not making this an emotional argument, but a good debate

I am a christian, but I don't know which bible you were actually reading or you may be reading the quran and not the bible. Why don't you tell us where in the bible where it says that mohammed is the last messenger of God. Now you tell me was God's people Jewish or Arabs. Jesus is the one and only true son of the living God and he was talking about himself being the last messenger of God and not mohammed. You mean what is in the quran was taken out of the bible. Little bits of verses where taken out and put together by man and it's called quran.

Dear March2000,
You have opened the pandora box, the floodgate of contention by asking this question where Christians from all denominations will simply refute because the name Muhammad, in the life of the Biblical Scriptures as we know it today, in all of its versions, in all of the languages written, simply does not appear in the Bible.
But having said that, the Bible has gone through numerous editions. As early jewish adherents switched their mother tongue from Biblical Hebrew to Koine Greek, the holy scriptures of Moses and the Hebrew Prophets were eventually transformed into a body of translation known as either in the form of the Septuagint or the later standardised Hebrew of the Masoretic Text. If common sense would tell us that a translated Shakespearean work in Swahili will not do justice to the English language, then perhaps various assumptions could be drawn upon the true meaning of the Bible which might have been lost in translation.
As the Bible continues to evolve into its present-day English version, many historians believe that the essence of the Mosaic revelation and true, word-by-word, verbatim Gospel could have been either eroded or lost forever in translation.
Jesus Christ, the name that we associate Christianity with, is Latin. Anybody out there knows the name Jesus in Aramaic?
Muhammad, anyone?

Going by your argument, that the Bible speaks of another Prophet after Christ, how do you know that it is Muhammed, & not Guru Nanak or Baha-u-allah?
You know, if I were to ever leave Christianity for another religion(which I would not), I would most likely choose Judaism rather than Islam. Why? Because although I completely understand honouring God's Greatest of all Messengers, why would God Suddenly Stop with Muhammed, rather than the afore-mentioned 2? For that matter, why not even Ngo Van Chieu(the founder of Cao Daism)?
Christianity makes sense to me because Christianity teaches that Christ Is God Incarnate, & Came Down from Heaven To Save us all from sin & Hell.

In what version of the Bible is there the name "Mohammad"? Does "Mohammad" mean "the last" in Arabic, or any other language (hint: it doesn't)? You LIKE the idea that the last prophet Jesus referred to was Mohammad, so you're twisting facts... and that is exactly how schisms among various religions take place - this group likes one interpretation, thos guys like anoother, they split into two churches and then a few caturies later they kill each others mercilessly. So stop this. If you want to believe, don't try to use your head and your logic. Belief is in your heart, whether your thoughts allow you to hear it or not.

I don't know why the quran has only 1 version, but the Bible has so many because it has been re-written many times, to make it easier to understand and such. I wonder how many small things have been changed over the years when it has been re-written??
