The Quran was made by one man, at one time. Unlike the bible, that after 40 writers over a span of 1600 years and 3 languages on hundreds of subjects, has yet to be inconsistant and non contradictory. Thats quite impressive, unlike a book that was written based off one man at one time.

lets go in little bit of details, what is the reason for you not acknowledge my Prophet as Prophet? go on list your reason if you are truely interested in debate...I would request to keep it short because you can always keep adding later while we debate each point one at a time that way I don't have to read and response on a 3 pages long....
In terms of the Catholic religion, Islam is a heretical point of view, born not in the heart of the Christian world, but on the periphery. It maintains something of the original Catholic truth, such as the immortality of the soul, and the omnipotence of an all-merciful Creator, but it denies the essential truth of the Incarnation of Christ.

For this reason, Mohammed will always be considered a false prophet for Catholics. All the Hebrew prophets and the ceremonial laws of the ancient Hebrew religion prepared the way for Immanuel, God among us. Jesus Christ, the Second person of the Trinity, fulfills all the prophets and all the laws that went before.
In fact, the minute details of the writings of the Bible that point to the life of Jesus, as the Christian world knows Him, are a great deal of the reason why many of us have come to believe in the God of Abraham and Moses at all.

Yet this is what Mohammed denies. This is not something peripheral to the Catholic faith. Without the incarnation of God, without the cross, without the resurrection, the actual core teaching of Christianity is destroyed.


Coming from pagan roots, and schooled by Jewish sages, Mohammed never really seemed to have grasped this about the Christian faith. He was too much on the periphery of the Christian world to really understand that no orthodox Christian could ever accept such a teaching.

But the fact remains, the 'Isa' of Mohammed resembles the Jesus of the Gospels about as much as a Hollywood movie resembles history.

To accept the prophecy of Mohammed does not just reform the Catholic worldview. It falsifies it.

do you think GOD needs 40 writers over a span of 1600 years and 3 languages on hundreds of subjects to to educate mankind His laws and the signs of Day of Judgement?

History informs us that GOD has alway sent his messenger with message and no more then ONE BOOK at a time..

you said something about "coming from pagan roots, and schooled by jewish sages" aren't you aware that Muhammad was an orphan he never went to any school and didn't knew how to read and write...

When you say GOD is One you can not divide GOD into three parts... Islam does not deny the birth of Jesus (AS), He was born to a human. False Prophets were never blessed with miracles, False Prophets were never blessed with Information which is being proved by todays technology, False Prophets were not able to tell signs of Day of Judgement and what will happen in future... False Prophets always wanted worldly gains where as real prophets alway claimed they are not seeking reward for the message they brought forth for people by GOD.

By the morning,

89:2
and the ten nights (first ten days of Dhul-Hijja),

89:3
the even and the odd,

89:4
and the night when it departs!

89:5
Is there not in these an oath (enough evidence) for those who use their common sense?

89:6
Have you not seen how your Rabb dealt with 'Ad?

89:7
The residents of Iram, the city of lofty pillars,

89:8
the like of which had never been built in other cities.

89:9
And with the people of Thamud who hewed out their dwellings in the rocks of the valley?

89:10
And with Fir'on (Pharaoh) the owner of stakes?

89:11
They all transgressed beyond bounds in their cities,

89:12
and committed great mischief therein.

89:13
Therefore, your Rabb let loose on them His scourge of torment.

89:14
Surely your Rabb is ever watchful.

89:15
As for man, when his Rabb tries him through giving him honor and blessings, he says: "My Rabb is bountiful to me."

89:16
But when He tries him through restricting his subsistence, he says: "My Rabb has humiliated me."

89:17
Nay! But you did not show kindness to the orphan,

89:18
nor did you encourage each other in feeding the poor.

89:19
Greedily you lay your hands on the inheritance of the weak,

89:20

89:21
Nay! You should know, when the earth will be pounded to powder,

89:22
your Rabb will come, with angels standing in ranks,

89:23
hell shall be brought in sight. On that Day man will remember his deeds, but how is that remembrance going to profit him?

89:24
He will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth some good deeds for this life of mine."

89:25
None can punish as Allah will punish on that Day,

89:26
and none can bind as He will bind.

89:27
To the righteous soul it will be said: "O fully satisfied soul!

89:28
Return to your Rabb, well pleased with Him and well-pleasing to Him.

89:29
Join My servants,

89:30
and enter My paradise."

Yes, his illiteracy explains a lot. If he had been able to actually read the Bible and the Gospels, his message may well have been very different...

When you say GOD is One you can not divide GOD into three parts
Yes , Catholics are agree. The Father and the Son are One, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

God should neither be divided, nor limited by the finite constraints of human reasoning. At one and the same time that we are bowing down in awe and wonder to the awesome all-powerful majesty of our King and Judge, we are loving Him as that helpless Infant, foresaken to the elements in the poverty of a lowly birth.

...
Islam does not deny the birth of Jesus (AS), He was born to a human.
Anybody that agrees that Jesus was a real person agrees that he was born.:doh:
And yes, the Virigin Mary was a human. She was never a part of the Trinity in Catholic theology. While it is not totally clear whether Mohammed mistakenly thought that Catholics included Mary in their Trinity, or whether he was referring to some heretical fringe group that existed in the periphery of the Catholic world, Catholic theology is very clear that Jesus didn't inherit His divinity from His mother, but from His Father.

This Patrilineal inheritance is the theological reason for the Virgin Birth. Far more than just some supernatural event, the Virgin Birth communicates to us about the Divine nature of Jesus. With the miraculous births of such Old Testament figures as Samson, Samuel and Isaac to prepare us in accepting this awesome truth, with the virgin birth of Jesus, God's ultimate plan concerning such phenomenon becomes fully revealed. This time, the Father Himself has provided us with His very own Son!

Even as Moslems marvel with us about the miraculous event, they display no real understanding of this message being conveyed by this sign of a Virigin giving birth of Immanuel, or 'God Who walks among us'.

Whatever Mohammed himself believed about the orthodox Marian teachings of the Catholic world of his time, it is evident that the modern followers of this man are either believing his incorrect teachings on this subject, or are interpreting his teaching incorrectly.
No Christians today believe that Mary was a part of the Trinity. (And yet, chances are the reply will always be "Yes, that really is what you Catholics believe).:help:

False Prophets were never blessed with miracles, False Prophets were never blessed with Information which is being proved by todays technology, False Prophets were not able to tell signs of Day of Judgement and what will happen in future... False Prophets always wanted worldly gains where as real prophets alway claimed they are not seeking reward for the message they brought forth for people by GOD.
On the contrary, the False Prophet in the end days will cause the multitudes to marvel. Even today false prophets and anti-christs abound, and lead many astray. This is as it has always been.

As well, I have always found it curious that the marvels of today's secular-based technology have so often become the ultimate measure for the prophecies of so many people of all religious stripes. As often as not the technologist and scientists that are responsible for collecting the data in the first place remain underwhelmed by these so called marevlous connections to ancient scriptures.
The notable exception to this, by the way, is not from either the Moslem of Christian traditions. It is the intrigue that modern physicists have with the philosophical systems of China and the Far East, which describe the quantum world of modern physics so well.

Satan is the Father of Lies. Many, many will be deceived by the wondrous works of this angel of the false light. Indeed many already have.

This passage demonstrates some of the Old Testament values so evident in Isaiah, for one, about showing kindness to the orphan, and taking care of the oppressed. The Catholic catechism itself instructs us to acknowledge what we share in common with Moslem and Jew, such as the common concern of all three monothiestic religions for the poor and the oppressed, the perfect justice of God, and our final judgment by this merciful and just God of all.

It is not a question of God's need. It is a question of our need.
History informs us that GOD has alway sent his messenger with message and no more then ONE BOOK at a time..
John the Baptist and Jesus ministered concurrently, although neither wrote a book. (Jesus did write in the dirt on at least one occasion, though) On the other hand, 4 'books' or gospels, and numerous epistles, or letters were written more or less concurrently to explain the messages of Jesus in particular.

In terms of Prophets of the Old Testament, Jeremiah's prophecies shared the same time period as Zephaniah, Nahum, and Ezekiel, and Hosea's prophecies overlapped the time frame for both Micah and Isaiah.

If history informed us only of the prophecies of Elijah and Elisha, then you statement would be more valid. Otherwise, it would appear more than prophets arrived in clusters, and not just one at a time.

Repentance is not only the last support of a drowning sinner, but also the crown of the righteous. There can be no faith or piety without repentance. No one will enter the Mercy of Allah without repentance. FOr Allah loves those "who are constantly repentant and those who purify themselves." (Surah 2:222)


Say: O my servants who have transgressed against their soul! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah; for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." And turn in repentance to your Lord, and submit to Him before the penalty comes upon you: after that you shall not be helped." (Surah 39:53)

And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah forgiving and Merciful. (Surah 4:110)

If any do deeds of righteousness-be they male or female-and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them. (surah 4:124)




:clap: Awesome!!! Repentance and faith in Allah (G-d) begets His Mercy, Forgiveness, and Love!! And eternal life in Heaven!! Without human sacrifices.....:clap:


Alhumdulillah!! Praise Allah (G-d)!!! :bow:

The Davis Dictionary of the Bible, 1980, sponsored by the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church in the USA, writes under the word Kedar:
"... A tribe descended from Ishmael (Gen. 25:13)... The people of Kedar were Pliny's Cedrai, and from their tribe Mohammed ultimately arose."

The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia quotes the following from A. S. Fulton:
"... Of the Ishmaelite tribes, Kedar must have been one of the most important, and thus in later times the name came to be applied to all the wild tribes of the desert. It is through Kedar (Arab. Keidar) that Muslim genealogists trace the descent of Mohammed from Ishmael."

before one speak about what will happen when Qur'aan is replaced one has to find out what else is in Qur'aan, what signs are left which has not yet been fulfilled... when everything is fullfilled you will realise that "that will be the Day of Judgement"

two muslims are enough to write down the entire Qur'aan because of their memorization in an event all the books of the world vanishes from the face of earth... you think its that easy to replace? NO but Qur'aan will be available on earth as long as Allah wills and one of the signs of day of judgement is that Qur'aan will be lifted from hearts of muslims.

Watch your hand carefully, take two fingers of your hand, assume one is father one is son - can they be equal as one? they can be of one family as two individuals but they can not be ONE... There is a voilation of the statement "there is one GOD"

Illiteracy is not the same as stupidity. Illiteracy was common in that era, and Mohammed did learn many of his ideas from Jewish and Christian contacts orally.

If God was my hand, this might be true.

Yes, this is a Catholic idea as well. God does not have a consort in Mary, although He and the Son are One in the Unity of the Holy Spirit.

Do you know how to distinguish between a true Prophet and a False one...?
If a prophet contradicts the Word of God, he is a false prophet. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. Mohammed contradicts Jesus. Ergo, Mohammed is a false prophet.

As I have said, the scientists themselves remain underwhelmed. Science have never come upon any of their discoveries by studying the Koran, nor have any Islamic scholars become scientists through their studies of the Koran.
Wow you are calling Satan an angel - No he is not an angel because angels are not make of fire...
In Christian theology, Satan is a fallen angel.

21:30
Have not the unbelievers ever considered that the skies and the earth were once one mass, then We split them asunder? And We have created every living thing from water. Will they still not believe?

21:31
And We have planted mountains on earth lest it should tilt to one side with them (the weight of people) and We left between them open passages so that they may find the right direction.

21:32
And We have made the sky a safe canopy: yet they are heedless to these signs.

He is the One Who has created the night and the day and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) move swiftly in an orbit of their own.

Unless the corruption has already set in? After all those other books were (by your own admission Gods word until then) what reason do you have to think the same hasn't already started in the Qur'aan? You (in the sense that some Muslims on CF have said the Bible used to be Gods word until the corruption set in) believe you have the Book of God for this time given by the Prophet for this time, yet the very same thing can be said for the people who believed the Bible is uncorrupted. What makes your belief any more correct then theirs? Just curious.

When We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourself before Adam," all prostrated themselves except Iblees (Shaitan), who was one of the Jinns and chose to disobey the command of his Rabb. Would you then take him and his children as your protectors rather than Me, even though they are your enemies? What a bad substitute the wrongdoers have chosen!


20:122
Later on Adam repented and his Rabb chose him, accepted his repentance and gave him guidance,

20:123
saying: "Get down from here all of you (Adam, Eve and Iblees); you will remain
enemies to one another, whenever there comes to you guidance from Me and
whosoever will follow My guidance will neither go astray nor get into trouble;

20:124
but the one who will turn away from My reminder shall live a meager life and We shall raise him back to life as a blind person on the Day of Resurrection."

20:125
He will say: "O Rabb! Why have you raised me up blind here, while I was clear-sighted before?"

20:126
Allah will say: "Just as Our revelation came to you and you played blind; so are you blind today."

20:127
Thus do We reward the one who is a transgressor and does not believe in the
revelations of his Rabb. The punishment of the Hereafter is more terrible and more lasting.

20:128
Have these people not learned a lesson that; We have destroyed before them many generations in whose ruins they walk through? Certainly in these ruins there are Signs for people of understanding.

Unless the corruption has already set in? After all those other books were (by your own admission Gods word until then) what reason do you have to think the same hasn't already started in the Qur'aan? You (in the sense that some Muslims on CF have said the Bible used to be Gods word until the corruption set in) believe you have the Book of God for this time given by the Prophet for this time, yet the very same thing can be said for the people who believed the Bible is uncorrupted. What makes your belief any more correct then theirs? Just curious.
tulc(who believes the Bible from cover to cover...and even believes the cover because it says "Holy Bible"!)
Even today muslims will testify the Book which was revealed to Jesus(AS) was, is and will be from GOD but where is it? It can not be what we see 40 writters over the 1600 years in 3 languages...

We do not deny the book which was revealed to Jesus (AS). We are against those who add or subtract from what was revealed to Jesus. now you find out the book which has not been revised or translated into different language - meaning find a the book which was revealed to Jesus (AS) in its original language and then research and compare the other books you all currently have.

If the book was compiled 300 year after Jesus (AS) then prove how authentic or the source of collecting Information of the entire book... did any one memorized the entire book...?

Hire a Imam of Mosque from every country who has memorized the Qur'aan and knows Arabic language then tell them to read - while they are reading tell them they made a mistake and try to correct them... "they will explain you why they are correct and you are wrong"

This Qur'an is not such as could be produced by anyone other than Allah; in fact it is the confirmation of prior revelations (Psalms, Torah, and Gospel) and fully explains the Holy Book (prior scriptures); there is no doubt in this fact that it is (revealed) from the Rabb of the Worlds.

10:38
Do they say: "He (the Prophet) has forged it?" Tell them: "If what you say be true; then produce one Surah like this, you may even call to your aid anyone you want other than Allah."

10:39
Nay! They do not believe that which they cannot grasp, for they have not yet seen its prophecy fulfilled. The same way those who passed before them disbelieved. But see what was the end of the wrongdoers!

10:40
Of these people there are some who will believe in it and some will not: and your Rabb best knows the troublemakers.

Can you prove everything Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said and taught Muslims are ideas from Jewish, christian or pagan contacts orally?
Everything? No... I do not think that was the point I was making. Yet, the biography of Mohammed is one in which he was in contact with Christian and Jew. Certain Koranic sayings. about Mary for one, show apparent points of contact between Mohammed;s ideas and psuedo-Christian writings. And Mohammed was illiterate, and therefore could have only have oral correspondance with Christian, Jew, and pagan.
Your GOD is ONE hence GOD can not be two or three entities...
And He is not two or three entitities. This is the mystery of the Trinity.
Take us into little more details, Tell us the Word of God... Tell us in what ways Prophet Muhammad (SAW) contradicts Jesus (AS)...
the prophet Mohammed tells us that Jesus is not crucified and resurrected. Jesus instructs us of the sign of Jonah will serve as our proof to believe that He is the Resurrection and the Life.
Peter, for example proclaims Jesus as the Son of the Living God, and Jesus praises the Spirt Who speaks through Peter, or when Thomas prostrates himself to "My Lord and My God", and Jesus replies that those who have not seen Him and still beleive will be blessed.
It is not at all clear to me that Mohammed so believes.
