Jesus in the Quran makes no sense

Shad

Well yes, because the Qur'an isn't biography of Jesus :rolleyes: (or of anyone for that matter)

Ergo the claim it makes more sense is only related to the point I previous made; Trinity. Even Christians have issues explaining it and they believe it in the mainstream. Most explanations are rejected or is considered heresy by one group or another



It really doesn't at all, if you're honest about it.

Sure. However my point was about the source of information. Keeping in mind I am not a Muslim so do not think Muhammad was told everything by Gabriel(?)

It has to 'borrow from the NT', because it has less information about a topic? Is that logical?

Ergo the Quran does not actually make more sense of Jesus as it only address specific points nothing more.

What kind of sense exactly are you looking for? The bible supports the Quran's version of Jesus. Jesus says as Jonah was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights so I will be under the earth for three days and three nights.

So? Belief does not mean fact. Your response does not address my point.
It's agreed upon by large among Christian scholars even if there is no concrete evidence for it (since you disbelieve the Qur'an). Meaning the Qur'an has a specific detail the bible does not have and a detail that the Christians have come to agree with. It was an example.

So? If I wrote a book about Muhammad that has information not contained in existing texts does that mean I am adding more details or fiction?

No it doesn't as the Bible predates the Quran.

You claimed more sense. I rejected the point outside the Trinity only in relation to monotheism.

Jesus says as Jonah was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights so I will be under the earth for three days and three nights.

So?

Evidence for what?
For that Jesus was born in summer.

Naturally it depends on whether you're right or not. My point is the Qur'an is right. So it can't be called adding of fiction.

But just now you said the Qur'an doesn't have enough information regarding Jesus and now you go out of your way to insinuate it doesn't matter what information it does have regarding Jesus.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure the English language does allow me nevertheless to say the bible supports the version written in the Qur'an.

Saying X does not mean X is true. Hence why I mentioned dates. More so when the source predates your own it is a jump in logic that the later in confirmed by the former rather than the former is borrowed by the later.

So Jonah was in the belly of the fish alive.

So?

So jesus didn't die.

Former or later doesn't matter when both are considered to withhold revelations.

So? The Quran injects a date (fruit) into the verse. That does not mean it is right nor that Christians used the Quran to determine a date.

Naturally it depends on whether you're right or not. My point is the Qur'an is right. So it can't be called adding of fiction.

Belief vs fact. Try again.

But just now you said the Qur'an doesn't have enough information regarding Jesus and now you go out of your way to insinuate it doesn't matter what information it does have regarding Jesus.

No. I was talking about quantitative.

You recall we're compering the Qur'an and the bible?

Yes. I am still waiting for you to actually compared it outside copy/pasting your apologist website which omits information. Yawn.

I haven't copy pasted anything. But you're not responding to my argument.
