BIBLE: RE : Worshipping Human Beings
"In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked. He listen to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, "Stand up on your feet!" at that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker." .................................................
Acts 14:8-12
Qur'an: RE :Worshipping Human Beings​

[ 9:31] They have set up their religious leaders and scholars

of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god.
There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having
any partners.
BIBLE: RE :Worshipping Angels

"Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize."
Colossians 2:18
Qur'an: RE :Worshipping Angels
[ 3:80] Nor would he command you to idolize the angels
and the prophets as lords. Would he exhort you to disbelieve
after becoming submitters? [34:40] On the day when He summons them all, He
will say to the angels, "Did these people worship you?".....................................
BIBLE: RE :Worshipping NO Other Gods

"So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes."

The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor.
For the foundations of the earth are the Lord's; upon them he has set the world."
1 Samuel 2:6-8
Qur'an: God is the Supreme King
[23:116] Most exalted is GOD, the true Sovereign. There is no other god beside Him; the Most Honorable Lord, possessor of all authority.

BIBLE: Omnipresent
"Where can I go from your Spirit: Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day for darkness is as light to you."
Psalm 139:7-12
Qur'an: Omnipresent [ 58:7] Do you not realize that GOD knows everything in the heavens
and everything on earth? No three people can conspire secretly without
Him being their fourth, nor five without Him being the sixth, nor less than
that, nor more, without Him being there with them wherever they may be.

had done. GOD is fully aware of all things.

Psalm 121:3-4
Qur'an:God does not Slumber or Sleep [ 2:255] GOD: there is no other god besides Him, the Living,
the Eternal. Never a moment of unawareness or slumber overtakes Him.
To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who
could intercede with Him, except in accordance with His will? He knows
their past, and their future. No one attains any knowledge, except as He
wills. His dominion encompasses the heavens and the earth, and ruling
them never burdens Him. He is the Most High, the Great.
BIBLE: God is Just "The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous."
Psalm 19:9
Qur'an: God is Just [3:18] GOD bears witness that there is no god except He, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge. Truthfully and equitably, He is the absolute god; there is no god but He, the Almighty, Most Wise.

BIBLE:
"And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the son of man had built. And the Lord said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they can do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down; and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called bable, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth." Genesis 11:5-9.
Qur'an:[49:13]
"O people, we created you from the same male and female, and rendered you distinct peoples and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant. "

The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to tear asunder, and the mountains are about to crumble. Because they claim that the Most Gracious has begotten a son. It is not befitting the Most Gracious that He should beget a son.Every single one in the heavens and the earth is a servant of the Most Gracious. He has encompassed them, and has counted them one by one.All of them will come before Him on the Day of Resurrection as individuals.
BIBLE:
The Lord said, "I will break my covenant with them" [Levi. 26:44]

Qur'an:
[60:8]
"GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable. " "If they withdraw from you and fight you not, but (instead) send you (guarantees of) peace, then God alloweth no way for you (to war against them)" (4:90). "If the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God" (8:61).

In the book of Acts, Philip comes upon a man reading from Isaiah 53 and shows him how the Old Testament Prophets prophecied of Jesus and how he would suffer and die for our sins. Basicaly there are hundreds of Old Testament prophecies that Jesus fulfilled:

26And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, (Isaiah) and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12

And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. Mark 15:27-29


I believe God is one God yet with three persons, the one-in-three or three-in-one, they are all God, singular or may I say manifestations of God to us. Still one God. This is why David prophesied in the Old Testament:

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psalms 110:1

41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
43He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. Mathew 22 41-46

My Dear Friend I and We are both Use For "Allah" Because it doesn't make any difference.

Now you Look in This Word "Allah" can't be written in plural forms you can't write it "Allahs" Allah word has no plural

God is the translation of this word for your understanding because you people uses the word God

But God can be Plural It can be written as "Gods" so if you write gods instead of god it would be the wrong interpretation of "word Allah"

Allah is the arabic word you can get it's meaning from your fellow beings of Arab.
I mean Christians that resides in Arab Well understands the word Allah.

And i am referring you is the translation of Qur'an Not The Orignol you can Well understand this word by seeing yourself the translated version of qur'an with arabic

All the translations of quran are with its orignal scripture that is in Arabic.

So Please read the quran for deep understanding of your this statement and then reply me.

How do you know it's a copy, if it's the oldest scrap in existence?

OK, regarding P52....

We know it's a copy because it is a page from a completed [now lost] codex. This we know because we can place the fragment on a completed page that does exist and it lines up.

The papyri codex had to have originated in or near Egypt, and not in the vicinity of Ephesus. Even if it were not written in Ephesus, Egypt is quite a ways from the centers of earliest Christianity (Rome, Corinth, Ephesus, Jerusalem, Antioch, Galatia).

Finally, and most importantly, the writing of John occurred in many stages. It wasn't just written one day and then copied another. It was written and then other things were added and revised. This fragment is from a completed codex.

{"Holy Qur'an Tells The Truth About Physical Resurrection OF Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him)}

"That they (the wrong-doers) said (in boast), 'We killed the Christ Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah';- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them [or it appeared so unto them], and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not: Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise."

O.K., now all you have to do is explain why on earth we would take the qur'an as any more authoritative a source than the New Testament. Good luck with that.

You forget that unlike you we were not brainwashed to view the qur'an as the word of God from the age before reason.

Hi, I humbly respect that your scriptures teach Jesus was not crucified. Of course as a Christian, I believe he was. Without going into it too deeply, I simply believe the eyewitness accounts of those present at the time, I believe they were accurate and true and passed down to us in our Bible. I know many do not believe that and that's fine. I simply believe, as one would in a court of law, the eyewitnesses as opposed to another scripture, which I do respect, that came 500 some years later and said he was not crucified. I believe the accounts closer to the actual event to be stronger evidence. Thanks.

And what eye-witness accounts might those be? Where did you find them? Because your Bible doesn't contain a single one.

Nothing in the new testament would be admissible in a court of law; it's all hearsay.

And For Your Information Sir "Muhammad (PBUH) was the messenger of God As Jesus was the messenger of god and you can confirm about jesus from the references i have made and if god will be with you then you will find the truth. I can also provide you more refrences from bible

Thanks for sharing your ancient myth-system; it's fascinating. Now can we get back to facts? Thanks.

i agree that there should be no trinity and through my interpretation of the scriptures, do not believe that the bible teaches of such.

but i DO believe that jesus is the son of god, made flesh here on earth, was crucified, rose from the dead and returned to his father in heaven as planned, for the atonement for our sins.

O.K., now that you're all done sharing your various bizarre beliefs, can we get back to reality? Thanks.

its from the same way that you believe that he is not. faith in my belief, just as you have in yours. the bible DOES teach that jesus is the son of god. research if interested. no need for me to quote biblical scriptures to you, for they would fall on deaf ears, just as your quran scriptures are to me..

Yes, these two competing beliefs are based on the exact same thing: where you were born, and who raised you. Neither of them has anything to do with evidence. And once you throw evidence out the window, you can believe any old thing.

Dear Sniper now only thing can i say is i don't ask you to change your religon because i will get no profit from this "It is only for the goodness of you that you struggle to find what is the real truth because it is your sole responsibility to find what is the truth of religon its not a simple thing you must answer about it in your life after death."
My concern was only to give you a clu now find truth yourself i recommend you that first you study bible whole heartedly with your open mind inshallah your mind will ask you questions about what you beleive and then I strongly Recommend you that you also read Holy Qur'an inshallah i beleive that if god wants to get you in light you will easily understand the loud and clear message of Almighty Allah that he is only one.
"May God Be With You"

How did you pick these two? Why not the Book of Mormon or the Vedas?

Not according to the OP, they discounted the alternatives in the OP.
They were not discounted. I simply pointed out possible flaws in them. Also, that does not mean that a bodily resurrection is the most likely. That is a logical fallacy. Just because A isn't the answer, that doesn't mean that B is the answer.

The OP was set more as a question. There are many possible alternatives and I haven't technically ruled out any. I simply showed problems with some.

Agnostic Theist
The authors were not eyewitnesses. That is complete nonsense. Mark was a disciple of Peter, we don't even know who wrote Matthew, Luke was a disciple of Paul, and John definitely didn't write John.
Not entirely true. All of the Gospels were circulated anonymously. We don't know who wrote Mark of Luke either. Whether or not they were disciples of the apostles, we don't know for sure. The reason being that only tradition tells us who the Gospels were written by. And that tradition really didn't start until the second century.
