correct me if i'm wrong, but I assume you, Jehanne, are a muslima since your using the word 'allah'. Let me tell you that allah is not YHWH or the God of the Bible. It is very clear.
If you are a muslima, can you give me any single reason why any woman in the world should even consider Islam as the truth?
Secondly, would you care to ask your question in specific one by one? since what I read in your 2 posts, don't clear up any of your meaning to me.
Thanks

Yes, the Koran says to go to war with nonbelievers, maybe focusing on Muhammad's local enemies that did not believe he was a prophet. But then again, he does sort of lump in the Jews and Christians as targets, occassionally. What I do not get, as I read an English translation of the Koran, is how the Koran can say this, yet at the same time praise Jesus so much, and testify that Jesus was speaking the Word of God. Jesus' message, unlike much of the Old Testament, is clearly one of peace. We are supposed to love our enemies, and if they attack us, turn the other cheek.

Can someone explain this contradiction in the Koran, hopefully from an educated point of view, rather than a prejudice point of view?

The Isa, in the Koran, was not speaking the word of God, rather he himself even is the word of God.
The claim of muhammad is all prophets before him were muslims. Unfortunately, all the characters (from adam's time to isa's time) in the quran (and hadith), was not the same Characters in the bible, since we can easily distinguish some differences from both the biblical story and quranic story on respective person. For example, Ibrahim, in the quran:
sura 6:76-78 was described as an (ex) worshipper of star, sun and moon, but amazingly as we see in aya 78, after realizing all the sun set, from out of nowhere and without any description, he later has a knowledge about allah. lol. but no surprise, what to expect from a 7th century poster mind.

Actually many people around muhammad have questioned muhammad himself about why allah's revelations seem contradict his own previous aya'. Muhammad, trying to save himself, 'got' another revelation explaining about abrogation, such as in : 13:38; and 2:106 (which known by most muslims as nasikh/mansoukh doctrine.

Even by then, you will still be able to find weird, strange and discrepant verses there.

Let's Start with this one...

When asked about Jesus’ Crucifixion, Muslims will invariably reference one ayah from the Koran, to support their conviction.

Islam bases an entire doctrine regarding Jesus’ crucifixion & death upon the cross, on a single solitary Koranic ayah.

And in this single solitary ayah, the entire doctrine teeters upon the rendering of a single solitary word (wama) – which Islam has misinterpreted as a negative.


The correct rendering of this ayah is as thus…




وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول
الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن
الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ما لهم به من علم
إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا

Waqawlihim inna qatalna almaseeha AAeesa ibna maryama rasoola Allahi wama qataloohu wama salaboohu walakin shubbiha lahum wa-inna allatheena ikhtalafoo feehi lafee shakkin minhu ma lahum bihi min AAilmin illa ittibaAAa alththanni wama qataloohu yaqeenan

4.157 And their saying: "Truly we killed The Messiah, Jesus, Mary's son, “allah's” messenger”, and that they killed him, and that they crucified him, and certainly they alike, and truly whom they differed in Him, certainly they (are) not in doubt from Him, on account of Him, from knowledge, except to follow the belief, and that they surely killed him.


To overcome the Muslim mindset, we need to first define the Arabic word that has been misinterpreted by Islam.

Here is the classic Arabic definition for "ma"...

ما = “ma”

“ma” definition:

Conjunctive pronoun. That; which; that which; whatsoever; what; as; as much; in such a manner as; as much as; as for as; any kind; when; how. Does not, as a rule, refer to reasonable things, but instances to the contrary sometimes occur. It is one of those particles, which, in conditional propositions, govern the verb in the conditional mood; it is frequently a mere expletive. It is also a negative adverb, Not; in general it denies a circumstance either present, or of past, but little remote from the present; it governs the attribute in the accusative, thus it is a negative particle when placed before the perfect as in 53.2; or before a pronoun as in 68.2; or before an demonstrative noun as in 12.31. The particle, when joined to the perfect, denies the past; when joined to the imperfect, the present.

The Dictionary of the Holy Qur’an, 1st edition, Abdul Mannan Omar, pp. 523 - 524
A Dictionary and Glossary of the Koran, John Penrice, pp. 135 - 136




As we can see below..."ma", when joined to "wa", is simply a filler-word in this ayah...


وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول
الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن
الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ما لهم به من علم
إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا

Waqawlihim inna qatalna almaseeha AAeesa ibna maryama rasoola Allahi wama qataloohu wama salaboohu walakin shubbiha lahum wa-inna allatheena ikhtalafoo feehi lafee shakkin minhu ma lahum bihi min AAilmin illa ittibaAAa alththanni wama qataloohu yaqeenan

4.157 And their saying: "Certainly we killed The Messiah, Jesus, Mary's son, “allah's” messenger”, and that they killed him, and that they crucified him, and certainly they alike, and truly whom they differed in Him, certainly they (are) not in doubt from Him, on account of Him, from knowledge, except to follow the belief, and that they surely killed him.



As witnessed by the plethora of positives in this ayah, the conditional mood is only positive.

Couple this, to the very next ayah, as thus…



بل رفعه الله إليه وكان الله عزيزا حكيما

Bal rafaAAahu Allahu ilayhi wakana Allahu AAazeezan hakeeman

4.158 But “allah”, he raised Him to him, and “allah” mighty, wise.




4.157 & 4.158 tell us of its most likely Biblical source...


This One given to you by the before-determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you having taken by lawless hands, having crucified Him, you killed Him. But God raised Him up, loosing the throes of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it. (Act 2.23 - 24)


As we can see, 4.157 & 4.158 are simply parroting NT material...


Thus, context is clear that in 4.157 “wama” is simply governing the verb in the conditional mood – which is positive….NOT negative.


Further, rendering this Islamic one-hit-wonder ayah as a negative would force other Koranic ayahs into contradiction.



As further evidence that 4.157 confirms Jesus’ death upon the cross, all the Koranic crucifixion instances are shown here, which confirm that the Koran always describes a crucifixion event with complete certainty of death…



• 5.33…they will be crucified till death
• 7.124…I will surely crucify you till death
• 12.41…so will be crucified till death
• 20.71…and I will surely crucify you till death
• 26.49…and I will surely crucify you till death



Death through crucifixion is always mandated in the Koran.

Thus, there is no reason at all to believe that 4.157 would break this trend…
Bump for cognizants...

No, but I have Muslim friends who have worked there and told me that, although it was like almost 10 years ago.
I will let let another members of cc from saudi, then, to explain the current situation there.
In any ways, Jesus is sovereign there. amen
OK so you are relaying the experience of one person in Saudia Arabia who is not even a resident, in one city and you are stating that is how Saudia Arabia is.

which man?
haven't heard of him for a while, he may not be working in Saudi anymore.
Anyway, aziz, what's with the ransom money asked by the saudi families for indonesian workers? So the worker can flee from death penalty, but families mostly ask until US$500000. Not to mention, most Indonesian female workers who accused of murder was doing self defence when she was (about to be) raped by their masters.

tha's what Sharia law stated(AL-Deyah) : if u want to flee from death penalty and the family of the murdered person agreed to do so , u can pay 100 camel or it's equivalent of money or whatever amount they ask (sometimes it reach 30,000,000 USD) to the victim's family ..otherwise u'll be executed by sword.in action called (beheading)

do you have the hadith? never knew about this, thanks.
more and more indonesian workers i guess will be beheaded soon (most are females which most likely they were defending from being raped).

Hello,
In my opinion there are two main opposite points between Christianism and Islam:
1. Spread of LOVE vs. Spread of FEAR
2. GRACE vs. LAW

The Catholic church requires that we do "works" to be saved.

Although 'faith without works' is in the Bible 'works' can never save us. The Bible is quite clear that our own works do not help merit salvation. We are saved “not because of righteous things we had done” (Titus 3:5). “Not by works” (Ephesians 2:9). “There is no one righteous not even one” (Romans 3:10). This means that offering sacrifices, keeping the commandments, going to church, being baptized, and other good deeds are incapable of saving anyone. No matter how “good” we are, we can never measure up to God’s standard of holiness (Romans 3:23; Matthew 19:17; Isaiah 64:6).

The Bible is just as clear that salvation is conditional; God does not save everyone. The one condition for salvation is faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times in the New Testament, faith (or belief) is declared to be the sole condition for salvation (John 1:12; Acts 16:31).

The pope said, "atheists can go do good and go to Heaven too," concluding that atheists who either "do not yet know God" or choose not to believe, "progress toward that knowledge of God by doing good." The pope also said that doing good works can get you to heaven.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" (Romans 3:10)

Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.”

Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 4:16)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10-9)

Salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is by baptismal regeneration and is maintained through the Catholic sacraments unless a willful act of sin is committed that breaks the state of sanctifying grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace which is received through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a change of the heart wrought in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and the fruit of that new life in Christ (John 15).

Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation cannot be guaranteed or assured. 1 John 5:13 states that the letter of 1 John was written for the purpose of assuring believers of the CERTAINTY of their salvation.

Good Works: The Roman Catholic Church states that Christians are saved by meritorious works (beginning with baptism) and that salvation is maintained by good works (receiving the sacraments, confession of sin to a priest, etc.) The Bible states that Christians are saved by grace through faith, totally apart from works (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians
3:10-11; Romans 3:19-24).

Prayer: The Roman Catholic Church teaches Catholics to not only pray to God, but also to petition Mary and the saints for their prayers. Contrary to this, we are taught in Scripture to only pray to God (Matthew 6:9; Luke 18:1-7).

Priesthood: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that there is a distinction between the clergy and the “lay people,” whereas the New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9).

Sacraments: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that a believer is infused with grace upon reception of the sacraments. Such teaching is nowhere found in Scripture.

Confession: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that unless a believer is hindered, the only way to receive the forgiveness of sins is by confessing them to a priest. Contrary to this, Scripture teaches that confession of sins is to be made to God (1 John 1:9).

Mary: The Roman Catholic Church teaches, among other things, that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, a perpetual virgin, and the co-redemptress who ascended into heaven. In Scripture, she is portrayed as an obedient, believing servant of God, who became the mother of Jesus. None of the other attributes mentioned by the Roman Catholic Church have any basis in the Bible. The idea of Mary being the co-redemptress and another mediator between God and man is not only extra-biblical (found only outside of Scripture), but is also unbiblical (contrary to Scripture). Acts 4:12 declares that Jesus is the only redeemer. 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims that Jesus is the only mediator between God and men.

Many other examples could be given. These issues alone clearly identify the Catholic Church as being unbiblical. Every Christian denomination has traditions and practices that are not explicitly based on Scripture. That is why Scripture must be the standard of Christian faith and practice. The Word of God is always true and reliable. The same cannot be said of church tradition. Our guideline is to be: “What does Scripture say?” (Romans 4:3; Galatians 4:30; Acts 17:11). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 declares, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Most of the Koran was based on the OT because Mohammed was illiterate and was very dependent on Jewish rabbis to read & translate the OT for him. And the NT was badly twisted into an anti-Christian movement.

Translation: Without the OT & NT there would be no Koran.

It would be great to do a comparison between Islam and Catholisism, quite a few similarities I believe.
main similarity is that they both aren't christian

Actually, >75% of the Koran is based upon one Biblical Book, The Book of Revelation.


Translation: Without the OT & NT there would be no Koran.

Agreed...
