The Bible And Quran The Same?
Once again the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church has declared an untruth. My
guess is that the Pope is trying to appease a group that has publicly declared
their hatred of the Catholic Church and want to see it destroyed. Trying to
appease someone by giving them what they want is not smart. This does nothing
but embolden the Islamic state to continue their quest for a caliphate, and
remove every religion except Islam. There is not a religion that Islam can tolerate
or coexist with. Even within the Islamic world, does it not seem strange that
they are always killing each other? Muslims killing Muslims might be appreciated
by some, but their religion teaches them to kill everyone who does not abide
by everything the local Imam says.
The Bible is truly the word of God and focuses upon Jesus Christ who is the
Savior of mankind and the only God approved sacrifice to remove sins from mankind.
The Quran rejects Jesus Christ and even orders its adherents to kill those who
follow the Christ. As one Muslim is quoted: "We (Muslims) will kill all
people of the cross".
There are many writings in the Quran that promote the teaching of killing all
those who are not Muslim. It teaches that those who will not abide by Sharia
Law will die by Sharia Law. It advocates treating non-Muslims with contempt.
Recently some Muslim leaders have approved "rape the women of your enemy"
as being appropriate according to their religion.
The Bible was written by many men who were guided by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter
1:21). The Quran was written by one man and has changed with almost every generation.
The Bible claims that the word of God will abide forever (1 Peter 1:25). The
Quran changes with the political climate and cultures.
The Bible declares God and what He wants from us. Malachi 3:6 tells us that
God does not change. The Hebrews writer declares that Jesus is the same today,
yesterday and forever. From the way Muslims treat their Quran, we see that Allah
changes all the time.
The Bible teaches us to love our fellow man, in fact the laws given to God's
people in the Bible emphasized love over everything else. Muslims despise the
concept of love. Muslim males hate all women. Their teachings allow for any
Muslim man to beat any woman whether Muslim or not. Muslim men despise females
to the point that they will mutilate female genitalia to punish them for being
female. And that has the approval of their spiritual leaders.
The Bible teaches us to evangelize to all nations. Sometimes those of other
cultures and backgrounds will respond to the gospel and become a Christian.
If a Muslim does this they are to be put to death. If a Christian departs the
faith, they are to be disciplined and admonished to return to the fold.
The Bible teaches us to love our neighbor, while the Quran teaches to hate your
neighbor.
The Pope is wrong to liken the Quran to the Holy Bible. You would think that
someone with such high standing in a church would know more about the Bible
than he apparently does. Trying to appease people who want to kill you is not
the answer. The message is clear that God's word, the Bible is the only true
book declaring the truth of God.
