What is your opinion of this?
"Logical grounds to prove that the Prophet did not learn the Quran from Jews or Christians.
The day-to-day life of the Prophet was an open book for all to see. In fact a revelation came asking people to give the Prophet (pbuh) privacy in his own home. If the Prophet had been meeting people who told him what to say as a revelation from God, this would not have been hidden for very long.
The extremely prominent Quraish nobles who followed the Prophet and accepted Islam were wise and intelligent men who would have easily noticed anything suspicious about the way in which the Prophet brought the revelations to them - more so since the Prophetic mission lasted 23 years.
The enemies of the Prophet kept a close watch on him in order to find proof for their claim that he was a liar - they could not point out even a single instance when the Prophet may have had a secret rendezvous with particular Jews and Christians.

It is inconceivable that any human author of the Qur’an would have accepted a situation in which he received no credit whatsoever for originating the Qur’an.
Thus, historically and logically it cannot be established that there was a human source for the Qur’an."

There is some logic to this first part, but the common belief among those who claim a Jewish source is that Mohammed was educated by Jews as a child. Logically, there would be no need for someone to come in while he was in private (like I am right now) and whisper things to him that he already knew.
The second part (additional details) is more convincing but hardly conclusive. There are several books in the Christian bible for which the author remains anonymous. In fact, nearly all of them were assigned names (or authors) long after they were written. Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight are two stories from much more recent history, and the Greek myths arose in times much more ancient than the Quran. We can see that there are several examples in ancient times, both preceding and following the authorship of the Quran, of mythical documents authored anonymously. It is certainly not logical that the Quran *must* be considered authentic simply because it is anonymous.
I hope this helps.

The Koran makes no sense because Jesus has fulfilled all the law so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him as our Father. We do not need anything else. We already have God.

It's not inconceivable...many books in the old testament do not have a definite author...

Mohammad and the koran came into existance centuries after Jesus died for all men's sins.

Jesus said: "I am the truth, the life, and the way. No one comes to the father except through me." Where "the prophet" fits into this one path to salvation I do not know.
Lord bless.

the prophet believed himself possessed by a demon.
