Answer 2

Well, according to the Muslims the Quran contains the words of God. Quran is to be read as if God Himself had spoken these words stated in it. It is important to emphasize this point because if Quran is the word of God then it should not contain any errors and it should hold true for all times. However, such is not the case.
The Opening Sura Fatihah:
(Quran 1:1-7)
In the name of the Merciful and Compassionate God.
Praise belongs to God,
The Lord of the worlds, the merciful, the
compassionate, the ruler of the day of
the day of judgment! Thee we serve and Thee
we ask for aid. Guide us in the right path,
the path of those Thou art gracious to;
not to those Thou art wroth with, nor of
those who err.

Someone need not be a rocket-scientist to comprehend that these words are clearly addressed to God, in the form of a prayer. They are Muhammad's words of praise to God ("Guide us in the right path,..." ~ 001.006), asking for God's help and guidance. Some Muslim compilers conveniently add the imperative "say" in the English translation of the Quran at the beginning of the sura to remove this difficulty. This imperative form of the word "say" occurs at least 350 times in the Quran, and its obvious that this word has, in fact, been inserted by later compilers of the Quran to remove countless similarly embarrassing difficulties. Thus, we have direct evidence that the Quran starts out with the words of Muhammad. IF Mohammad wrote the Quran it should viewed in that light.
As you surely know, the Quran commands people to believe the books of the Bible, namely the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel. But then the Quran proceeds to contradict the message of these books. (Yes, some try to get around this problem by claiming that the Scriptures of the Bible have been corrupted. But an overwhelming mountain of evidence reveals the Bible Scriptures to be the best preserved books of antiquity.) Simply stated, if the Quran was the word of God, then it would not contradict what God has already so clearly established through the 40 prophets and apostles who wrote the Scriptures of the Bible.
The main thought throughout the Scriptures of the Bible constantly refers to two problems that man has.

1) The Sin Problem. We have sinned, and sin demands death, which is not only physical death, but in the end is hellfire. God's Justice demanded it because all sin must be punished, even the 'least' of sins.

2) The Righteousness Problem. We need a righteousness, a level of goodness that is equal to God's goodness. Only perfect people can live in the presence of a perfect God. God's Holiness demands that.

The message of the Quran is quite different. Only by doing certain things are you 'allowed' into paradise. However, doing such things does nothing to resolve either of the two problems listed above. Our sin is still 'out there'—it's not taken care of, and we still don't have that goodness, the righteousness needed to enter paradise.

Answer 3

muhammad is Not mentioned in the Bible no where, the Quran is not the same book as the Holy Bible, Allah and Jesus are two different people. Allah is the God of third world countrys. Jesus is the God of USA and Europe, they have oil yet live in poverty, nows who' who. The Holy Bible is correct, Jesus came and died for our sins on a cross, a perfect sacrifice, when arose from the grave he washed away our sins. We celebrate this every Easter or Passover. We celebrate his birth at Christmas. Our ancestors built this country on the Holy Bible, There is no debate, who's country has been blessed. There is no comparison. Think about it, where had you rather live, here, or bagdad. Take your pick.

Answer 4

the really2 original bible is an old version of quran. after quran exist, bible can't be use no more. so, quran are god's words. yah prophet muhammad is mentioned in bible saying that he's the last prophet in this world. god send quran to muhammad by many ways that can't be thought of human. jesus is not god he's just a normal human being....if he's a god, why did he died?? just imagine if god die, who are going to manage the world, the solar system, the sun, the moon, the outer space???

Answer 5

I watched a brief section of one of them and a couple of other short ones you do not name. I was surprised that there is a vast collection of such videos!

I thank you because I had no idea these videos were available and I hope to watch more of them.

My initial reaction is that the Christians who debated did a poor job and the entire series is slanted heavily toward the Islamic side.

One I watched -a short one - was not a debate but talked about the formation of the Christian faith. I think it was called Bible Games. Very distorted and weak argument.

It is a shame if people seriously considering these subjects base their understanding of the Bible and Christianity on such videos.

god bless
