The Truth by bilms(op): 7:44pm On Jan 25, 2012
What kind of contradictions? Bible is peace!

Anyways maybe some here are excused due to the Koranist Islam being somewhat different from Sectarian Islam. This is actually new to many people. Non Muslims and Muslims alike.

But I would like to add something from the Koranic view point regarding what constitutes faith.
The Quran does not seperate itself from the Gospel and the Torah although many Muslims are told otherwise. It actually sees itself in equal footing. The Koran although does not seperate between Muhammad and the other prophets, although Muslims see him as somehwat different. They see Muhammad as the "greatest" of the prophets and believe he abrogated the previous prophets. This is not something you will find in the Quran. Indeed, you will see the exact opposite.


"Say: We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. " 2:136


"The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction between any of His messengers - and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying. " 2:285


{4:152}
"And those who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not make a distinction between any of them-- Allah will grant them their rewards; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."


So the Quran does not make ANY DISTINCTION between the prophets and it also makes no distinction between scriptures.


Let the People of the Gospel judge by what God hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what God hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel. (Surah 5, Maida, verse 47)


But why do they come to thee for decision, when they have the Torah before them?- Therein is the (plain) command of God; yet even after that, they would turn away. For they are not (really) people of faith. (Surah 5, Maida, verse 43)


Say: "O People of the Book! Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord, " (Surah 5, Al Ma'idah, verse 68)


If only they had stood fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among them a party on the right course: But many of them follow a course that is evil. (Surah 5, Maida, verse 69)


2.41 And believe in what I reveal, confirming the revelation which is with you, and be not the first to reject Faith therein, nor sell My Signs for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone.


2.89 And when there comes to them a Book from God, confirming what is with them,- although from of old they had prayed for victory against those without Faith,- when there comes to them that which they (should) have recognized, they refuse to believe in it but the curse of Allah is on those without Faith.


2.91 When it is said to them, “Believe in what God Hath sent down, “they say, “We believe in what was sent down to us:” yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say: “Why then have ye slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if ye did indeed believe?”


So from a Quranic point of view, there is nothing called I believe in Bible but not the Koran. As both scriptures are saying the same thing. I certainly do not see any difference.


But Islam versus Christianity, or Christianity versus Judaism? Big difference!
Thats because the Talmud took over Judaism, the Trinity took over Christianity and the Sunnah took over Islam.


These are not scripture oriented religions.


The Quran recognizes faith not based on sect. It says regarding faith:


2.62. Those who believe , and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.


5.69. Those who believe , those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.


Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.


49.13. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).


The Quran is non sectarian. It does not believe in religious dogma. It recognized faith as a human condition. The Quran does not discriminate based on sect, race or tribe. It discriminate based on faith in God and the here after.


QURAN IS UNIVERSAL. QURAN IS PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
