Christianity is more likely to be true than Islam

"Say: Have you considered if it is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, and a witness from among the children of Israel has borne witness of one like it (mithlihi), so he believed, while you are big with pride; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people . .. And before it the Book of Musa was a guide and a mercy: and this is a Book VERIFYING (it) IN the Arabic language that it may warn those who are unjust and as good news for the doers of good. " Sura 46:10, 12 Here we see that the Torah of Moses is like the Quaran, so the Quaran"s challenge to produce something like it has already been met. (Sura 28:48-49) Three separate writings are mentioned in the Qur"an. Sura 5:43, 44: "How will they come to you for judgement, when they already have the Torah which enshrines Allah"s own judgement? Soon after they are bound to ignore you: they are no true believers. There is guidance, and there is light, in the Torah which We have revealed. " Hence, the Torah, Genesis to Deuteronomy, are referred to in the Qur"an as the Word of God. Again: "To David We gave the Psalms. " (Sura 17, Al-Isra" [The Night Journey], verse 55) The third writing referred to in the Qur"an is called the "Gospel. " "After those prophets we sent forth Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the Torah already revealed, and gave him the Gospel, in which there is guidance and light, corroborating that which was revealed before it in the Torah, a guide and an admonition to the righteous. Therefore let the followers of the Gospel judge in accordance with what Allah has revealed therein. Evil-doers are those that do not base their judgements on Allah"s revelations. ""Sura 5, Al-Ma"ida [The Table], verses 46, 47. At least sixty-two verses in the Quar'an point out that these three writings in the Bible come from God. And at least twelve other verses say that the Qur"an was written for the purpose of confirming these books. Here are some of these verses. "Children of Israel . . . Have faith in My revelations, which confirm your Scriptures. " (Sura 2, Al-Baqara [The Cow], verse 41) "A Book confirming their own has come to them from Allah. " (Sura 2, Al-Baqara [The Cow], verse 89) "When it is said to them: "Believe in what Allah has revealed," they reply: "We believe in what was revealed to us. " But they deny what has since been revealed, although it is the truth, corroborating their own scriptures. " (Sura 2, Al-Baqara [The Cow], verse 91) "He has revealed to you the Book with the truth, confirming the scriptures which preceded it; for He has already revealed the Torah and the Gospel for the guidance of men, and the distinction between right and wrong. " (Sura 3, Al-Imran [The Imrans], verses 3, 4) "This is a blessed Book which We have revealed, confirming what came before it. " (Sura 6, Al-AnR19;am [Cattle], verse 92) "What We have revealed to you in the Book is the truth confirming previous scriptures. ""Sura 35, Al-Fatir [The Creator], verse 31. So not only does the Quaran teach that the Bible is God"s word, but it also shows that it was uncorrupted at the time the Quaran was written because it tells us to trust it. Those Muslims who despite all the evidence to the contrary still insist that the Quran teaches the corruption of the earlier scriptures, will have to face a dilemma: 1. If you accept the Quran's verdict that the Torah is like it (Sura 28:49, 46:10), then the challenge was met before it was issued. It will be hard to avoid the implication that this challenge was published rather thoughtlessly, which in turn questions its alleged divine origin. 2. You reject this statement of the Qur'an regarding the Torah being like it. Why then would you believe the Qur'an to be from God if you reject what it says as being wrong? The Hadiths are also like the Quaran: In his Hadeeth, Muhammad explained Ayat 75:16-29, by saying, " "I was given the Quran and its equal with it (i. e. , the Sunnah)" (A Sahih Hadeeth; Al-Hadeethu "Hujjatun bi-Nafsihi [21]). 29. [Albani, Muhammad Nasir ad-Deen. Al-Hadeethu "Hujjatun bi-Nafsihi fi-l-A"hkami wa-l-"Aqa-id (The Hadeeth is Proof Itself in Matters of Law and Creed) (Pg. 26-27)"] (Introduction to: Muhammad The Prophet of Mercy " Muhammad"s Role in Islam, by Jalal Abualrub, edited by Alaa Mencke [Madinah Publishers and Distributors, First Edition: June 2007], p. 34) No Muslim has ever produced anything similar to Shakespear, or the works of TS Elliot, so does this prove these are also the word of God? No one has drawn a Mona Lisa since Leonardo de Vince, does that make his paintings from God? This challenge to produce something like the Quar"an is nonsense! There are many contradictions in the Quar"an which show it is not a miracle from God: Abraham: "neither Jew nor Christian; but he was sound in the faith, a Muslim. " (Sura 3:60; 5:48, 111, Rodwell) But according to Sura 39:14 (Rodwell), Muhammad was the first Muslim: "SAY: I am bidden to serve God with a sincere worship: and I am bidden to be the first of those who surrender themselves to him, (Muslims). " Again, according to Sura 2:59 (Rodwell) salvation is for others besides Muslims: "Verily, they who believe (Muslims) and they who follow the Jewish religion, and the Christians, and the Sabeites,"whoever of these believeth in God and the last day, and doeth that which is right, shall have their reward with their Lord: fear shall not come upon them, neither shall they be grieved. " But other parts of the Quran teach exactly the opposite: "Whoso desireth any other religion than Islam, that religion shall never be accepted from him, and in the next world he shall be among the lost. " (Sura 3:79; 5:76, 77) Again in Sura 2, verse 285 (Rodwell), we read, "We make no distinction between any of His Apostles," whereas in verse 254 of the same sura we are told, "Some of the Apostles have we endowed more highly than others. " Muhammad confessed to having no miracles: (Suras 2:118; 10:38; 11:13; 6:109) Plainly it quotes God as saying, "We refrain from sending Signs, only because men of former years treated them as false. " (Sura 17:59, Ali) That rules out any book Muhammed brings, even the Quar"an as being a miracle. As for man all living things being made from water, the Quar"an contradicts itself on this too: In the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, who created man, out of a mere clot of congealed blood. Sura 96:1-2 It is he who has created man from water. Sura 25:54 We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape. Sura 15:26 Amongst his signs is this, that he created you from dust. Sura 30:20 Blood clot? water? clay? dust? The Qur'an doesn't really seem all that sure what God used. Sura 19:67 says But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing? So now Allah doesn"t use anything at all, not even water! So much for scientific accuracy. Besides, people already knew man"s body was mostly water long before the Quaran was written, so this point is mute! Hear the so-called scientific accuracy of the Quaran: Sura 2:261 tells us that every ear of corn has 100 grains. This is obviously false. Sura 86:6-7 says that semen comes from between a man's backbone and ribs. We know today from biology studies that semen comes from the male phallus. Sura18:83-98: "Until, when, he reached the setting of the sun, he found it to set in a spring of murky water" (18:86). So Zulqarnain found the sun sets in a spring of murky water. This is saying that the earth is flat and the sun is very small. Sure, the Quar"an tells us to be kind to our neighbors, but it doesn"t say that God loves them. It says "for Allah loveth not ,the arrogant ,the vain glorious. "[Q:4:36] So Allah only loves the good people, but hates the bad ones. Allah does not love all human beings, his love is limited. The God of the Bible loves all mankind. (John 3:16) So Con fails on the authenticity of the Quar'an and its view of God, and said nothing on its inaccurate account of Jesus.
