Islam is better than christianity

Well, first of all, I think that my opponent had not clearly read my arguments. I said " "In this round I challenge my opponent to give me a single verse in the Bible in which Jesus (A.S.) himself said that he is god or he is to be worshiped." In the first part of his answer, my opponent went on giving verses in which he told us how Jesus (A.S.) himself said that "He is The son of god" but he never gave me a single verse in which he said that he is god or is to be worshipped. So since the answer of my opponent was not based on the arguments I gave, it will not be taken into consideration any further. Let me also move on. Now, I would like to talk about violence in the Qur"an first since this is a very important topic: 1)61:10 You who believe, shall I show you a bargain that will save you from painful punishment? 11 Have faith in God and His Messenger and struggle [j-h-d] for His cause with your possessions and your persons"that is better for you, if only you knew"12 and He will forgive your sins, admit you into Gardens graced with flowing streams, into pleasant dwellings in the Gardens of Eternity. That is the supreme triumph Now, I think that the address of this verse is wrong. There are certain verses in the Quran, which convey injunctions similar to the following: "Kill them wherever you find them." (2:191) Referring to such verses, there are some who attempt to give the impression that Islam is a religion of war and violence. This is totally untrue. Such verses relate in a restricted sense, to those who have unilaterally attacked the Muslims. The above verse does not convey the general command of Islam. The truth of the matter is that the Quran was not revealed in the complete form in which it exists today. It was revealed from time to time, according to the circumstances, over a time span of 23 years. If this is divided into years of war and peace, the period of peace amounts to 20 years, while that of war amounts only to 3 years. The revelations during these 20 peaceful years were the peaceful teachings of Islam as are conveyed in the verses regarding the realization of God, worship, morality, justice, etc. This division of commands into different categories is a natural one and is found in all religious books. For instance, the Gita, the holy book of the Hindus, pertains to wisdom and moral values. Yet along with this is the exhortation of Krishna to Arjun, encouraging him to fight. (3:30) This does not mean that believers in the Gita should wage wars all the time. Gandhiji, after all, derived his philosophy of non-violence from the same Gita. The exhortation to wage war in the Gita applies only to exceptional cases where circumstances leave no choice. But for general day-to-day existence it gives the same peaceful commands as derived from it by Mahatma Gandhi. Similarly, Jesus Christ said: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Matthew, Chapter 10) It would not be right to conclude that the religion preached by Christ was one of war and violence, for such utterances relate purely to particular occasions. So far as general life is concerned, Christ taught peaceful values, such as the building up of a good character, loving each other, helping the poor and needy, etc. The same is true of the Quran. When the Prophet of Islam emigrated from Makkah to Madinah, the idolatrous tribes were aggressive towards him. But the Prophet always averted their attacks by the exercise of patience and the strategy of avoidance. However on certain occasions no other options existed, save that of retaliation. Therefore, he had do battle on certain occasions. It was these circumstances, which occasioned those revelations relating to war. These commands, being specific to certain circumstances, had no general application. They were not meant to be valid for all time to come. That is why; the permanent status of the Prophet has been termed a "mercy for all mankind." (21:107) - See more at: http://www.cpsglobal.org... Now let"s talk about contradictions in the Holy Qur"an and considering the first point, i.e., the first Muslim. 1)" No partner has He. And this I have been commanded, and I am the first [among you] of the Muslims." Now I request my opponent to please give me the right address. He had written the address of this verse as 6:63 which is wrong and correct one is " 6:163 Now, Muhammad(Peace be upon him), was the First Muslim among his people. "[among you]" clearly tells us this. Now, Moses(A.S.) was the first one to believe in his time among his people. Also, Adam(A.S.) was the first one to believe in his time and was the first man. (Here, I would like to mention that Allah created the light of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) before anything else. So, where is the contradiction? Now let us talk about the next contradiction These are the points to be noted here: - 1. Nowhere does Allah say here that he made Earth first and then he made heaven. He merely says that he made all that is on earth and then he turned to heaven that was already created. If Allah had really created heaven AFTER he created the earth then why would he say "Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven"? After the creation of earth, how can he "Istawa (rise over) towards the heaven" when he hasn"t created it yet in the first place. The only possible explanation for this is that Heaven and Earth were already created. Does this verse say Allah created the Earth? No! This verse talks only about the "things on earth" and not earth itself! 2. This verse doesn"t even refer to the creation of the earth. Does Allah say that he created earth in this verse? Read again. This verse only says that Allah created "all that is on earth". Meaning, Earth was ALREADY CREATED by Allah and in this verse Allah is talking only about the THINGS PRESENT ON EARTH AND NOT EARTH ITSELF. So your allegation that the Quran says that God created Earth first and then Heaven is totally false and does not hold any ground because this verse doesn"t talk about Allah creating the Earth at all! This verse speaks only about the division of heaven and not about its creation 3. Similarly, where does this verse say that Allah created heavens? Just where? This verse only talks about Allah dividing the heaven THAT WAS ALREADY CREATED into SEVEN PARTS. There is a difference between "Division" and "creation". You cannot "divide" a thing unless it is already "created". So if Allah has to divide the heaven into seven parts then he must have already created it. That"s common sense. So your allegation that the Quran says that God created Earth first and then Heaven is totally false and does not hold any ground because this verse doesn"t talk about Allah creating the Heaven at all! Now after giving you all answers, I challenge you to prove that the Bible is more scientific than the Qur"an.
