do you think.... ?

[david p]

As a believer in The Holy Bible and what it says, do you think that The Qur'an is a true testament of God also?

Why do I ask? Because if as Holy Bible believers we are unable to discern enough to provide accurate information about any differences or similarities between 'Christianity and Islam', how are we supposed to consider ourselves being 'led' rightly by any Pastor, Priest, or even The Holy Spirit or even God or The LORD or even The Holy Lamb of God.... IF... we do not have understanding towards these two 'faiths'/'books'/'languages'/'place of origin'/'sacredness'.. ?

So to consider or to be considered a/another person of being 'credible' enough; learned enough; understanding enough, to have any sort of interacting conversation(s) about 'truth/the truth', don't you believe that the knowledge regarding Holy Scriptures between languages/cultures/lifestyles/etc.... should be a foundational one in order to be able to share Holiness/Holy with another even if he/she is from a different culture/language/origin... and/or even if she/he isn't? ... etc????

So... if I'm unable to tell any differences of similarities between Christianity and Islam, wouldn't I be UNFIT to even begin believing I can help strengthen the layed foundation?

And again.... what is the foundation? Is it Christ?

Or is it of the apostles and the prophets?

Ephesians 2:
"19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, (J)esus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."

Why would something like this be IMPORTANT to a person?

Well, as for me, it really wasn't until 2 things happened.

My NEED to have a Sure Helper in my life and my earnestness to not be a mocker towards The Truth of The Word of God.

So when I found hypocrisy even in my own statements and even 'Biblical' understanding, I needed a Truer Truth to really ask for assistance than being okay with receiving assistance from any so-called credible 'teacher' of sorts. Why, or how, would I be able to live with myself if I needed to rely on information coming from a lacking of knowledge?


Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

 

[david p]

Is it wise to interact with any/anything that is in the direction of being 'destroyed' and being obstinate to make any directional changes?
If it is NOT wise, then how can I believe upon it? How can I depend upon it? How can I contribute to it?


How many times does a parent 'discipline' his/her young son/daughter for an act that can physically 'hurt' the child and/or even maybe the 'home' they live within BEFORE taking 'alternate directional' measures?

 

[Gregory Thompson]

As a believer in The Holy Bible and what it says, do you think that The Qur'an is a true testament of God also?

No. The Qur'an presents an alternate history of the old testament era much like the book of mormon.

Ok sounds like you have an understanding of both books. I do not i have knowledge and never read the Qur'an and never will.

So who does the Qur'an say Jesus is, if it is a true testament of God and the Qur'an is just as important as The Bible concerning God.
