The Bible or the Koran?

Question

If the world were to be governed by one of these books which one would you rather be governed by?

Answer 1

The world would be better off governed by the Bible. The koran is a cheap imitation that also includes satanic instructions and falsehoods, like surah 4:34 that tells muslims to beat their wives, and 18:86 that says the sun sets in a mud puddle every night. God knows better, and after all, allah was just a pagan moon god who muhammad lied about and convinced gullible people was the real God of the Bible.
Why accept counterfeits when you can have a real God?

Answer 2

Um, the BIBLE for sure! The Koran was written by man. The Bible was written by man, but with God's inspiration. There's nothing in the Bible that isn't true. God made it, and it can't have anything added or subtracted from it. Some religions have messed it up and modified it according to what they think is right. But the thing is, is that even if the Bible did govern the world, not everyone would listen to it. It's everyone as individuals that have to come to Christ and let the Bible govern their own personal lives. That's where it starts: in the people's hearts. No one but God can do that so we've just gotta leave it to Him!

Answer 3

If you read both carefully the Old Testament of the Bible and the Quaran are very similar. It really isnt a matter of being governed by a book. Both were divinely inspired, but unfortunately humanly wrought. In other words, God gave man the inspiration but man, being human, screwed up the interpretation. Both are written in metaphors and figurative language that has been translated over 2000 years of time and many languages. There is no such thing as a verbatim translation because words meanings change and if a word is substituted for which there was no real tranlatable word, the meaning changes even more. To be governed by books that have no exact meaning would be foolish. To be inspired by them, is not.

Answer 4

The Bible is a HISTORY BOOK?!?!

Are you serious?

"It turns out that all the early history of the Jews in the Bible was a complete fabrication.
Prof. Ze'ev Herzog teaches in the Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University. He took part in the excavations of Hazor and Megiddo with Yigael Yadin and in the digs at Tel Arad and Tel Be'er Sheva with Yohanan Aharoni. He has conducted digs at Tel Michal and Tel Gerisa and has recently begun digging at Tel Yaffo. He is the author of books on the city gate in Palestine and its neighbors and on two excavations, and has written a book summing up the archaeology of the ancient city. He reported his findings in Ha'aretz Magazine, Friday, October 29, 1999.

Following 70 years of intensive excavations in the Land of Israel, archaeologists have found out: The patriarchs' acts are legendary stories, the Jews did not sojourn in Egypt or make an exodus, they did not conquer the land. Neither is there any mention of the empire of David and Solomon. In other words, David and Solomon and their exploits are tall tales. You foolish Christians read an ancient Paul Bunyan tale and mistook it for literal truth.

Those who take an interest have known these facts for years, but Israel is a stubborn people and doesn't want to hear about it. This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land of Israel: the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the 12 tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is that the united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom. And it will come as an unpleasant shock to many that the God of Israel, YHWH, had a female consort and that the early Israelite religion adopted monotheism only in the waning period of the monarchy and not at Mount Sinai.

So much for Biblical inerrancy. "

Answer 5

Consider this:

The Prophets that were really from God would utter and do with consistency according as it was told them by God. All the prophets of the Old Testament would always speak of one Divine will and designs for God's people, the same religious and moral preaching, and the same prophetic predictions of how God would deal with His people and the sinful nations. And the same Prophets, after their exhortation, would lead God's people to the true Divine Worship - the culmination of their preaching and teaching: they offered physical sacrifice (oblation) according to the rite passed on from Moses. Now, the Lord Jesus Christ, Whom the Moslems believe also to be a prophet of the true God, abolished the offerings of the Mosaic and Levitical Worship but He replaced them with His own body on the cross. "Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation: Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood..." (Heb 9.11,12).

On the other hand, the prophets in the Quran were prophets of contradiction. Considering the last criterion above and the fact that the Moslems do not perform any oblation, much more an oblation offered according to the Mosaic and Levitical rite, it would boil down to this: either the OT Prophets (who wrote the other portions of the Old Testament of the Sacred Scriptures) or the Prophet Mohammed alone is the only true divine oracle.

Besides, God did not intend that the world should be governed only by His written Word. God's people was governed by the Levitical priests to whom alone all God's laws, commandments, precepts, and ceremonies of worship were delivered and so it is from them that the people should learn God's will. And since the Levitical priesthood was decreed by God to be an everlasting priesthood, God's people is still governed by the Levitical priests and not by "Sola Scriptura" (Scriptures Alone) as taught by Luther.

Answer 6

I'd much rather the world be governed by the Cat in the Hat than by either one of those books.

Answer 7

Wow! The Koran was written (preached) by one person. The first half is full of peace and understanding. The second part is full of anger,belligerence, and intollerance for anyone who does not worship Allah the way Muhammad instructed.

If the Koran was used to rule the world, you would either worship Allah in a Muslim fashion or be killed.

Answer 8

It is not the matter of choosing. The Koran also says that The Greatest on earth and in the earth to come is not Muhammed but Jesus the Son of Mary. Quran Surat Ali Imran 3:45
and in the Hadith it is written that Jesus Christ the Son of Mary is going to come down to become the righteous Judge.
And in another text in the Hadith Shahih Bukhari Muhammed says "Do not honour me more than Jesus the Son of Mary, I am only the servant of God."

So if Jesus is the greatest in earth and in the akhirat(after life), and He is going to become the Righteous Judge, just like what the Bible says, what else can we say?

Answer 9

The Bible is the true word. The quran was written by mohammed and is just a modified Torah and Bible.Muslims will deny this and many other things in their faith, but then again this is why the quran was never intended to be translated. People would eventually find out the truth.

Answer 10

Hey both the Bible and the Quran are from GOD. So both could be used to govern the world.

But the Bible was sent by GOD for a limited period and for the Israelites only. The 'Actual message' in the Gospel of Barnabas was affirmed by the Quran, which called for the True Monotheism. It affirmed the ONENESS of GOD, declared the true message of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) that he is a messenger of GOD,

NOT a son of GOD.

Therefore Quran is the update version of the 'True message of the Bible' before it was altered and fabricated by materialistic men.

So now only the Quran remains authentic. Why not follow it?
