Fascinating. My mind has always been open, and now, my eyes are beginning to see a little more. That is not to say that I believe one is right over the other, or that there is not an explanation that can include the many religious and other beliefs held by different peoples on this world. Thank you for the link, I have a great deal of reading to do.

I don't need to read any link you post. I believe the bible is the truth of God's word no matter what any other doctrine or obviously deceived (logically thinking out God) people have to say about it. Besides, it will all come out in the end anyway. I'm glad to believe what I believe and have no plans to change it!
2 John verse 10 - If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

I have no desire to read that link, after seeing the word Islam- For it is the Bible that holds the truth- It is God's written word, and He led men to write it, by leading them with His Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the only way, truth and life as He says in John 14:6
2 Peter 1:21
For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

i think the bible can become corrupt through many years of false translations and interpretations to justify holy wars, murders, and political self-indulgance, but i think this is why Jesus preached humility. If you follow christ, you cannot truely justify using the bible as a tool to control, manipulate, and murder others. Those you use the bible to seek power over others are false prophets. I put my trust on the teachings of christ and his teachings of love, mercy, humility, and servanthood.

Yes, I believe and follow the Bible.
My opinion of the Quran? It comes from a different god and prophet, so I don't follow it. It's not the truth.

Very big difference between the Bible and Quran.
Muhammad, came with no supernatural proofs of his divine commission. Time and again his critics complained of this and repeatedly he told them that his work was not that of producing signs but merely to preach, and that his lack of signs was for the purpose of testing their faith. But what is faith without proof? Anyone could claim to be sent of God. Moses and Christ proved it by the performance of many miracles, but where were Muhammad’s miracles? He confessed in the Quran to having none.—See Suras 2:118; 10:38; 11:13; 6:109, Ali.
Yet many Moslems claim he did perform miracles. Repeatedly the claim is made by them that he split the moon, for which they cite as proof Sura 54:1. However, first of all note that this text does not state that Muhammad split the moon. And Muslim commentators on this verse, which speaks of the moon’s having been cleft asunder, state that it may have appeared as such to Muhammad and his believers in the valley of Mecca; that it is to be taken allegorically or that it may still be fulfilled in the future. (See Ali.) The Bible’s account of creation as well as of the Flood is amply attested in the record found in rocks, by the science of geology, but where is there any proof that the moon was ever split?
Others insist that Muhammad did perform many miracles and that these were recorded in the Alhadith or Hadis, the record of Muhammadan tradition, which was systematized in the third century of the Muhammadan era. Among the miracles that Muhammad was said to have performed, as handed down by tradition, are: “The trees and rocks and mountains used to greet him near Mecca. Once when the people were very thirsty Mohammed filled all their jugs by having water gush forth from between his fingers. A tree was called to testify to Mohammed’s divine commission. The tree came, tearing the ground until it stood in his presence. Three times it testified to Mohammed’s being the prophet of God.” According to Sir William Muir, some half million of such traditions have been handed down.
However, here we find the same difficulty in tradition contradicting the written record as we find in Judaism and in professed Christianity. The Quran simply does not allow for any miracles. Plainly it quotes God as saying, “We refrain from sending Signs, only because men of former years treated them as false.” (Sura 17:59, Ali) That explicitly does not allow for any signs. If Muhammad had performed signs, why rebuke his hearers for asking for them; why should they complain because of their being none? Yet that is what the Quran does. The written word is ever more reliable than the tradition handed down orally, and we are further compelled to that conclusion by the very fantastic nature of these purported miracles.
The Quran has been termed the Bible’s closest rival, it being the holy book for some 300 million Muslims who believe that it is uncreated and was sent down from the highest heavens and revealed to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel in sections or suras. In view of the fact that the charge is often made that the Bible contradicts itself, Bible lovers will not be hasty in concluding that the Quran is self-contradictory.
But in the Quran itself we find admission of such contradictions in that it claims for itself the right of “cancellation” or “abrogation.” Muhammad’s critics had complained that he sometimes contradicted himself, and so he taught that whenever a subsequent revelation contradicted a previous one, the second canceled or abrogated the first. Thus we read, “None of our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten but We substitute something better or the like. Knowest thou not that God hath power for all things?”—Sura 2:106; 16:101, Ali.

Do you seek the truth, or do you seek a confirmation of what you believe is the truth?
Honesty and open-mindedness are the first steps toward the truth.
Just thought someone might want to be reminded of that. I sure was when it popped into my lying close-minded braino.

I read the stuff and it seems true that the Koran came from a God. the question is WHICH GOD? it may still be that the god of the Islamic religion is a false god that misleads and betrays his followers. think about that
"You shall know the true Prophet of the true God by his fruits.".
What are the fruits of Islam? do they seem loving and good and godly?
