Overtrustworthy sir. It's the living book.

Not trustworthy at all!

It contains the word of God, Angels, Prophets, wise men, Historian, Disciples, fools, etc.

Bible simply means collection of books. Which books inside are you talking about?

Following!

Read, research and see if any prophecy contained in the inerrant word of GOD has failed... the Word of GOD never fails!

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" - 2 Timothy 3:16

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it." - Isaiah 46:9-11

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." - Matthew 5:18

"Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away." - Luke 21:33

The Bible no be Koran mate.

*There are conflicting views on who takes the souls at death.*

Sura 32:11 reads "Say: *THE Angel of Death*, put in charge over you, will (duly) take your souls. Then shall ye be brought back to your Lord", i.e. on specific angel is in view.

Sura 47:27 says "But how (will it be) when *THE angels* take their souls at death?", which again presupposes their specific identity and a greater number than one.

But then Sura 39:42 doesn't speak of angels anymore at all: "It is *Allah* that takes the souls (of men) at death."

You guys sure say na a all wise God wrote the Qur'an? No a clown

Instead of you guys to figure out the errors and contradictions in your book first. Your here arguing about the Bible?

*What will be the food for the people in Hell?*


No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari S. 88:6 Y. Ali

Nor hath he any food except the foul pus from the washing of wounds, S. 69:36 Y. Ali

Obviously, both kinds of ‘food’ are chosen to evoke a feeling of horror when thinking about Hell. However, the contradiction is in the double claim that this or that will be the only food, i.e.

No food except Dhari (88:6).
No food except foul pus (69:36).

There is yet another passage that is relevant to this discussion:

Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?
For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong-doers.
For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire:
The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils:
Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.
Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water.
Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire. S. 37:62-68 Y. Ali; cf. 56:52

So which food exactly are people going to eat in hell?
Is the Qur'an free of discrepancies?
Mohammed is fraud.

It's understandable to us and not to you.

The Angel of death has many other assistant. And Allah is their Lord. They only take the life Allah tells them to take.

I don't know how you can't understand this.

If you believe it's only you that understands your book why not apply the same logic to the book belonging to others?

Which others are you talking about? Do you interpret the Bible same way as other Christians?

And only people with a valid IQ will understand the Qur'an not JW with a prejudiced heart.

Keep deceiving yourself!
There are different versions of the Qu'ran out there and sects of different kind claiming Muslims. At least i can remember one Muslim on this same forum denying you as one of his brothers in your faith.
So if you want to correct anything i think you should first clean the mess in Islam causing Sunnis and Shiites fighting against themselves after all they're all adherents of your Qu'ran! Matthew 7:1-5

What versions of Qur'an did you read when you were a Muslim?

Just as other Christians don't believe JW to be Christians!

Why not face the thousands of Christian denominations that are calling you a cult!

Good!
Now take your own advice, i don't discuss with Muslims about their faith because i have left your religion for good. But as for those claiming CHRISTIANS i have a duty to chat with them based on what Jesus taught.
So we're back to where we started:

You shouldn't be arguing with people who have their own book rather stick to those using your own book yet discriminating among themselves!
