Since they contradict each other, one thing we can know for sure -- it <i>cannot</i> be that both are true. One or the other or both may be false, but it cannot be that both are true. Further, Muslims claim that the Aur'an claims that the Gospels and Torah are true ... except that they're not. That is, they contradict themselves.<br /><br />Christians take their Bible to be divinely inspired on the basis of faith because their Bible says so and because there is evidence that it is so. Muslims take their Qur'an as divinely inspired purely on the basis of faith. It was <i>not</i> written over thousands of years by a variety of authors with a single, coherent message. It does <i>not</i> contain unvarnished, verifiable prophecies all of which have actually occurred (with the obvious exception of the ones that are still pending). It <i>does</i> include <a href="http://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/index.html" rel="nofollow">contradictions</a>. The problems with the Qur'an are not merely translation or word differences; they are substantive. Islam believes that their Qur'an is divinely inspired on the basis of a self-authenticating miracle. That is, it is, therefore it is.<br /><br />Christians might take on faith that the Bible is God's Word. They might and they should. But it doesn't have to be on the basis of credulity -- belief without reason or evidence.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-91507170275977984402017-01-06T10:14:46.328-07:002017-01-06T10:14:46.328-07:00I'd argue that their doctrine of abrogation pr...I'd argue that their doctrine of abrogation pretty much rules out the Koran being perfect, either that or Allah changes his mind.
