I trust my friends, my family, my loved ones, even when I know they make mistakes or they sin, even when they go astray from time to time, even after they had done something to hurt me.
In the same way, it is out of love that I trust what the Bible says, not without reasoning, not without knowing that the Bible is made to inspire a better way of living and a path to bring you closer to the one God, the God of Jew, Christian and Muslim.
Christ had great respect for Jewish cult and so did Mohammad respect all faiths that would lead man to be fair, just and better for God.
It is better for all to see the coincidence rather than the difference... I think that would better please God.
Alaykum Salam.

Yes, all have sinned but look at Billy Graham. Do you consider him a "man of God" or a sinner? Sure, he has sinned in his life, but he is a man of God. The Bible was inspired by God and written by men of God who listened for His voice. God's Word will never pass away. David was a big-time sinner but he was also labeled "A man after God's own heart." These are the men God speaks to. He still does today but the Bible was finished and should not be added to. That's why it's important to read other books that relate to God as well as the Bible.

Wait.. the bible wasn't written by sinners???
So, some people are sinners and some are not?? What?!?!?!
When did that doctrine get started?
Sorry, I wasn't going to post, but that answer is nuts. Either all are sinners or the bible is fake.. because it specifically says "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God".
when christians actually get it together and come up with a good reason to believe in that, someone let me know.

first of all hahaha no the koran was not written by man it was giving revelation from the angel gaberiel to our beloved prophet muhammad peace be upon him and if he wasnt a prophet then tell me how can a man who didnt know how to read or write or speak very good come to find out about things that people would discover hundreds of years later.
and when he would speak his companions would write down what he would speak on when he would recite the words of the Quran and some kept in memory. so no theQuran wasnt written by man,and the difference between the Quran and the bible is that the quran has not been altered or any of the wording has never been once changed and the bible has been changed and altered so many times that it aint even funny.and it contridicts itself all of the time.-

Christ didn't come to save the perfect people, he came to save the sinners.
And, I trust God more than I do the book. With any human (even if it was inspired by God) there is room for err.
Does that make the Bible "bad"? No. Just written by human. Should I throw my Bible away? I'm not going to.

Kallan said it perfectly. Everyone is a sinner. No one is perfect. Only Jesus was perfect.
Everyone's life is full of mistakes.
I would rather trust in a book written by people like me than one written by someone proclaiming to be perfection, something which no human can ever obtain.
People can't relate to that. People CAN relate to those like themselves.

Numerology is any belief in divine, mystical or other special relationship between a number and some coinciding events. It's an occult science that I consider fascinating. I started to study numerology because of my obsession with Mathematics, Geometry. What I discovered it's really incredibble.

Hello and that bible is written over a 1500 period of time by 44 authors and yet despite claims it does not disagree with itself, and 30% of it is prophecy and much of it is fulfilled, yes it was written by humans but under the guidance of a omnipotant God if you will look at the claims of Scripture you will see its all true if your really looking but God will never supply anyone with so much proof that they if they choose not to believe won't be able to make that choice, God honors choice but with the results that goes with it, and if your going to say its not inspired then you should be willing to come up with some proof equal to what The Bible gives plus there is changed lives, one of which is typing to you now, God bless. free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org

The scriptures of all three of the world's monotheisitic religions (i.e., Judaism, Christianity and Islam) were all written and their messages delivered by and through humans.
All of these scriptures contain inaccuracies, errors and contradictions. The followers of each religion simply choose to ignore the same in regards to the scriptures of the religiioin that particular one has chosen to "follow" while condemining the others for their flaws.
The other manner by which the logic of the situation is circumvented is by the "faithful" of any particular religion saying that the scriptures which said religion "follows" is/was either "inspired by the Holy Spirit (i.e., meaning the spirit of their primary deity)" or was "delivered by an angel (i.e., a being created by their primary deity that has no freewill and is a servant of their primary deity)". Their primary diety never communicates to mankind directly and, although supposedly all powerful, never communicates to each individual directly.
The idea that angels have no free will and therefore serve a deity by performing the deitiy's will exactly is also questionable as all of these three religions have mythological tales of "fallen angels (i.e., angels or an angel, created without freewill who directly disobeys the deity and is thereby damned for all eternity while also being allowed to run amuk, creating hardship and chaos for mankind while leading the same astray)".
Questions must and do then arise as to the nature of the creation of the fallen angel(s). How did a creation that does not possess free will defy and refuse to obey the deity? As the angel(s) supposedly has no free will, such should not be possible. This would make the scriptures errant. Would it not be cruel of an "all loving deity" to have otherwise created a being that , as an "all knowing deity", the deity knew "from before time" would be damned by the same deity for all time? The illogic of this situation is astounding in that it is so readily overlooked by the "true believers". (It must be overlooked by them as the answers diredtly contradict their claims of divinity and supremacy of their deity.)
Other problematic isses also arise throughout these "holy scriptures". The belief that all human knowledge comes from the deity while said gifted knowledge contradicts the "science" of the scriptures is such an issue. The inaccurate historical time lines and sequence of events is an issue (as the same has been demonstarted by archeological evidence and the knowledge that the deity "blessed" humankind with). The inaccuracy, as well as the non-fulfillment of the prophecies (espeically in regard to the scriptures of the Christians), as well as the non-fulfillment of the promises made to the servants of the deity are also an issue. This list could be greatly extended. For the sake of space and the patience of any one who may actually read this (if any) it has been left to stand as it is hoping that the same will be sufficient so as to make the point.
The simple and rather obvious truth is that sacred scriptures are not reliable as being from a deity due to it's sequence of transmission and the errant nature of what is contained therein and has been offered as such scripture.
One chooses to "believe" and the gift of faith was obviously not evenly distributed among humankind (a fact that also calls into question the loving, just and fair nature of any deity who would create beings it deliberately created with and in the full knowledge that the deity so doing did not endow said beings with the abiity to believe in the diety thereby condemning them to eternal punishment through no fault of their own.)
Although some of the social structure proposed by these scriptures is worthwhile, or was so at the time the same was originally made public, they are not and were never "messages from the Almighty" who, it is so easily demonstrated is neither almighty, just, loving nor particularly caring. Such must lead one to doubt even the existance of such a being.
To all who believe by and of their free choice to do so, I do and will support you in the same.
To all who choose, again, through their free choice not to believe, I do and will support you in your choice.
What I ask of both camps is that you stop this endless bickering and play nice for both "God's sake" and the sake of humankind.
may it all be wll with each of you and may each of you find his/her path while not stepping on one another's toes.
