Your arguement falls face first in that you clearly do understand that the teachings of Paul are well corroborated by other writers and prophets such as Luke,John,Mathew,Mark.........to a fault and without contradiction.......The same cannot be said of the Quran......Face it........Muhammad did not write the Qur'an; he may have been able to write small amounts,but was not able to write down a whole book >We know this since we are told he was illiterate. Various editions of the Qur'an were written down in the 30 years or so following the death of Muhammad,but Muslim histories,such as Sahih Bukhari,tell us that these were contradictory and incomplete. Only after the death of the majority of eyewitnesses at the battle of Yamama was a serious attempt made to collect together the sayings of Muhammad. According to al-Bukhari,the oldest by far of the accounts of the writing of the Qur'an,no single person could remember the whole of the Qur'an,and different parts were taken from different people. The accounts were in different dialects,and were therefore translated into the Arabic of the Qur'an at the time they were written down. Once the new official 'collection' of the Qur'an had been produced the order went out to destroy all the other variants. The official document was made in the reign of the Caliph Uthman,and is called the 'Uthmanic collection'.

The writer-in-chief of the Qur'an was Zaid ibn Thawbit,who had made an earlier collection,destroyed after the Uthmanic collection. Zaid was not a prophet; no-one has ever claimed that he was and to do so would undermine the claims of Muhammad to be the last prophet. The Qur'an was thus produced by a fallible human scholar,from the memories of other fallible humans,after most eyewitnesses were dead and when no-one could remember the whole of what was written down. It was translated by this fallible human scholar from local dialect into Qur'anic Arabic.............

Seriously......heh...!

@ reiner
Methinks u should take ur time before u go through with this thing,it's serious stuff. PRAY MORE to God,he will guide you.

First there was white power,then black power,now there's no power!

I think the common thread that runs through whichever scripture you look at,is about spiritual development and departure from material things - things that enslave us and cause us to do evil things (to each other). Most believe in one God. God being most merciful and benevolent will not split hairs if we all arrive at the pearly gates in that exalted form in which he envisioned all of us. We HAVE to believe that GOODNESS/HOLINESS is an inherent part of all of us. Freewill allows us to choose the paths we take.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

What is causing all this drought/famine is this post. 174 replies as we go to press and still counting............................Pray Good People Pray!!!
