Muslims? Have you read the Holy Bible? Why or why not? If yes, what did you think of it?

Question

Thanks for the anwers. I'm going to ask more questions, so please continue giving your honest opinions.

Answer 1

Yes, I studied Christianity for a while. It was interesting but I didn't find the answers I was looking for there.

Answer 2

I'm an ex christian so yes I have read the holy bible and still have my bible but Now im Muslim. The bible has a lot of right things but at the same time a lot of things that are confusing to me and over the years the bible has been changed. It has been proven that the bible has over 50,000 bible errors and I've asked explanations about things in the bible but no one was able to tell me a straight answer, I will share the link with you that proves the 50,000 errors.

Answer 3

I have not read the Bible cover to cover; however, I am familiar with it. As a Muslim, I look at the Bible in a whole new light. Not like when I was Christian. I don't just read it; I study it from a Qur'anic perspective.

Answer 4

I read the bible and I cannot understand how anyone in their right mind can call it the word of God. To call it Holy or attribute it to God in any way is an insult.

Are Prophets really adulterers, mass murderers and pillagers, Murderers, people who get drunk and naked, people who lie and decieve, people who sleep with their own daughters? Are these the guides sent by God? Are they an example to us? Really!

Does God lie? Is He vengeful? Does he hate yeast but like the smell of burnt meat? Is he jelous of false Gods? Is this your God? Really!

There is so much stuff in there!

Reading the bible has pushed me a billion miles away from both Judaism and Christianity, and it has made me more knowledgeable and certain that Islam is the true religion and that the Quran is the word of God. Alhamdullilah (Thanks be to God).

Answer 5

Yes I read the Holy Bible. Not all of it but a little. I didn't really understand most of it. Too many things are contradicting in the Bible which is why I don't read it now.

Answer 6

yes i read it once when my cousins and I were were on a road trip and we were staying in a motel. I got really bored at night cuz i couldn't sleep so I just started reading it.
I thought it was all right, some things I really didn't understand though but my heart belongs to the quran so yea :)

Answer 7

Muslims Believe your Holy Book
And it has been named in Quran although some parts of it has been changed by the mankind unlike Quran .

Jesus was not son of God , he was a prophet just like our prophet.

Peace

Answer 8

I studied Christianity. I found that the Bible contains many Contradictions, in Genesis it says that the Sun was created Before the earth and we now know that the Sun and the Earth were joined together (i.e they came from the same original body), it says that Light was Created before the Sun (Even though the sun is the SOURCE for the Light), it says that Plants existed before the Sun was formed (not possible).

I found that Jesus WAS in fact a messenger of God as I had been taught to believe, and not God or Divine in any way (according to the Bible itself). I found that the Bible has had MANY MAJOR revisions, and parts of it are taken in and out on a regular basis and that to me does not sound like THE WORD OF GOD.

I found that the Christian beliefs are VERY weak, and most of them come from sources other than God or even Jesus. For example Christians say that Jesus died for their sins, and yet every indication from The Bible itself points otherwise, for example the bible says :

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

and this to me Proves without the shadow of a doubt that Jesus is NOT a sacrificial Lamb for Humans; he is not a Human Sin Sacrifice.

Christians also have a theory that One should Rely on BLIND FAITH, that you should not question the Bible. I had been taught that you should be able to understand and look at the evidences given to you in order to believe. I also found it amusing that in Christianity Works count for NOTHING, especially after reading that Jesus had said IN the bible that to get to heaven One Must follow the Commandments, and that ''not everyone who says to me Lord Lord shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven but Only those that Do the will of My father in Heaven''. I watched Many Debates between Christian and Muslim Scholars, and I found than in almost every single one of them the Muslim basically proved himself right and left the Christian without even a hope of Proving that They are right..

Christians tell me that if I want to be saved then I have to accept That Jesus, an innocent man, died for MY Sins, and that - because- I am not perfect, God cannot send me to Heaven unless I accept that Jesus has paid for my sins. Other than the fact that this contradicts What Jesus himself had previously said, this concept is very evil and I can never accept it. First of all if God had created us Weak / Not Perfect then why would he expect us to BE perfect ? Second what about all the Prophets that God had sent before Jesus, will they all also go to Hell because they ''didn't accept Jesus''? And finally.. WHY would God punish us for what Adam and Eve did, sorry but I can never stand before someone and say Yes I am responsible for that, that is a sin upon my soul, when I had no choice and no say in it.

So basically in Christianity I found every reason to be ASSURED that I had not made a mistake in my choice of Religion.

Answer 9

I read parts of it. I think it contains very little of God's words but mostly written by men, a historical book with so many contradictions. Very far from accuracy.

Answer 10

Read it.

Too bad we cant find the original book of Jesus (Injeel) written in Aramaic.


The NT is more of a historical account of the life of Jesus and the Injeel -- written by dozens of authors after the fact.
