What do you mean. It is written in English. If i speak english I should be able to understand what is said unless it is esoteric or occultic. Meaning hidden knowledge or meanings.
So everyone who speaks arabic and has read the Quran knows what the Quran means? Is the Taliban right when they say the Quran backs up their actions?
Mujahid Mohammed said:
As I told you pages mean nothing. You kept asking how many pages and i said they vary in terms or print size commentary etc. There are over 6000 verses in arabic.
Right, I gave you an example of the Quran from a website, that even let you look inside the book and you could see that this 600 page book's font size was WAY bigger than the Bibles 1300 pages. Or does this not matter also?

Ryan you are missing the point that it is impossible to compare the bible because you first need to specify WHICH ONE. THERE ARE MANY MANY VERSIONS. ALL DIFFERENT. Different number of words and letters phrases taken out. Old not being there just the new.
Most are approximately the same size also. I did a search on Amazon and linked the most popular one that we could look inside (one of the top 10). I myself have 3 different bibles, all approximately the same number of pages, and all of them have the same small font size as the one that I linked. So lets go with the approximation of 1300 pages.
Why do you think I linked a "look inside" of each book? It was to show that the Bible is at least 3 times as long as the Quran (2 times in pages and then there is the font size and not writing in verse).

good but you claim that this type of achievment is nothing when it is clear it is something that is to be recognized as a strange phenomenon. Many I mean many muslims have it memorized. It is common place with us.
Yes, a book that is written in verse that Muslims read all the time would be hard to memorize? Look how many songs the American public has memorized. Things written in verse are amazingly easy to memorize... In fact many older stories and what not are written in verse because they knew this was easier to memorize.

The Christians however is a scarcity for they do not even know what is the whole bible. They themselves are argueing about what is the bible. The Catholic version has 73 books Protestants 66 original KJ had 80. In the earliest of days like in the time of Marcion he had just the gospel of Luke and some of the letters of Paul and this was his Bible and there are many other examples of this.
Yes, different sects of the same religion... Jesus never wrote the Bible so we need to pick and choose the writings of his followers... Aren't there different branches of Islam that use different books?
Mujahid Mohammed said:
Again as I explained the Sadducees and the Pharisee authored the bible we have today and the Man who gave us the Message of the bible Jesus pbuh says they are the sons of the devil.
Funny, I thought Jesus' followers authored the Bible... The Old Testament was done by the Sadducees and the Pharisees but not the New Testament. Hense the New Testament holding more weight than the Old Testament for Christians.
Mujahid Mohammed said:
Strange how can people who are sons of the devil help author the word of God according to God or jesus depending on which dogma you follow
So do you have any quote from Jesus saying what you are claiming? Merely: "Every Saudducee and Pharisee that has ever lived was the son of the devil" or do you maybe thing he was talking about the ones who would in the end play a part in his death?

In the Quran The Messenger is righteous his companions are righteous no change of deciet.
In the Bible Jesus is righteous and his companions are righteous.

This thought just came to mind why would an atheist support anything in the bible or use it as an evidence when you yourself do not accept it.
Just because I don't believe the Bible is the word of god doesn't mean I don't think the Bible has no facts in it. Why would a Muslim reject what the Bible says on something so trivial as wether Rabbis have or haven't memorized the scriptures of that day?
Just a quick question... Have you ever read the Bible?
