Can any person show a true teaching in the Koran which the Bible has not already given ?
The Koran has not, in fact, anything new to give to mankind that has not already been given in the Bible. In fact, it (the Koran) contradicts the Bible in numerous ways. So my question remains - what NEW truth (if any) has the Koran brought. I have never seen a single one.

You can look at the Inheritance law in the Quran. I doubt that there is anything about that in the Bible
You can look at the Divorce rule and the waiting period the women have to have after a divorce. I doubt there is anything like that in the Bible
You can look at the fact that women in the Quran have their own identity and financial independence nothing in the Bible.
Are 3 enough because it is really a very long list
God bless

The Koran brought a lot of feministic ideals into the present culture. Also, the Koran is designed for a more religious political state, whereas the Bible focuses largely on persona faith. To say that the Koran and the Bible are not different show a completely inadequate understanding of the two.

The Koran is closer to the source than the bible but they both miss the mark and bastardized the truth.
Look beyond your nose and stop trying to prove religion right and see truth for yourself. The evidence of truth is all around us so all you have do is open your eyes and see.

Yea I'm sure the two books would contradict in some ways
because one book (the bible) has been changed numerous times.
But from what my religion teacher (christian school) has taught my class about war in the christian teachings, she said that fight whoever your enemy is and who is ahead of you.
But the Koran says to only fight the men. Do not kill women, children, or elders.
You figure the contradiction.

The strongest link between the Bible and the Koran is - Satan will masquerade as the angel of light , which was revealed hundreds of years before it came true.

Muslims believe the Qur'an is the fullness of Divine revelation
Christians believe that this cannot be correct as God has sent his Son, his final Word (Jn.1:1)
No further revelation to come

O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad SAW) explaining to you much of that which you used to hide from the Scripture and passing over (i.e. leaving out without explaining) much. Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light (Prophet Muhammad SAW ) and a plain Book (this Quran).
[Quran 5:15]
Firstly, the truth is the truth no matter what document states it. The Qur'an calls to pure monotheism, and the fact that there are traces of it in the Bible does not mean that the Qur'an is false.
In fact, the Qur'an confirms what was revealed before it:
"And what We have inspired in you (O Muhammad SAW), of the Book (the Quran), it is the (very) truth [that you (Muhammad SAW) and your followers must act on its instructions], confirming that which was (revealed) before it. Verily! Allah is indeed AllAware, and AllSeer of His slaves." [Quran 35:31]
The Qur'an confirms the truth of what was revealed before it, and exposes the lies of those who fabricated.
To start out, the Qu'ran calls the Jews and Christians back to pure monotheism which they abandoned:
"Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary). Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Who then has the least power against Allah, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things. "[Quran 5:17]
If you can show me where in the Bible this is stated, thatd be interesting! The Bible implies such a truth, by saying that God is One, and that there is noone like Him etc. but it doesnt explain it directly.
the "contradictions" between the Bible and the Quran are due to the fact that most of the Bible is written history, although there are traces of revelation, and God did not place the responsibility upon Himself to preserve it. So whatever conforms with the Qur'an is true and whatever contradicts it is false.
In fact, the Bible itself says
"'How can you say, "We are wise,
for we have the law of the LORD,"
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?" [Jeremiah 8:8]
8"(A)How can you say, 'We are wise,
And the law of the LORD is with us'?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
Has made it into a lie. [Jeremiah 8:8-25 (New American Standard Bible)]
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,”
when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies? [Jeremiah 8:8-25 (New Living Translation)]
This is most likely referring to the Torah, since Jeremiah is from the old testament. As for the New Testament, the four agreed upon books, are the work of four unknown men of what was transmitted to them about Jesus (peace be upon him).
So the fact that the Bible would contradict the Qur'an does not mean that you should abandon the Qur'an as being false!
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) had a new law revealed to him for humanity to follow until the Day of Judgement. This in itself should encourage people to believe in him.
Or how bout the verses:
"All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has sent down to His slave (Muhammad SAW) the Book (the Quran), and has not placed therein any crookedness.
(He has made it) Straight to give warning (to the disbelievers) of a severe punishment from Him, and to give glad tidings to the believers (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a fair reward (i.e. Paradise).
They shall abide therein forever.
And to warn those (Jews, Christians, and pagans) who say, "Allah has begotten a son (or offspring or children)." [Quran 18:1-4]
I dont know anywhere in the Bible where it warns people from ascribing begotten children to God.
may God guide you to the truth.

Since we believe that Allah sent the bible also it makes sense that many of the teachings are the same. But since you asked, Did the Bible already do this?

The person asking the question doesn't want an answer, he only wants to pretend to ask a question. Its not even a question, its really a statement. You've already made up your mind, why did you bother posting?
