"THIS book is the Holy Book of God, of celestial Inspiration. It is the Bible of Salvation, the Noble Gospel. It is the mystery of the Kingdom and its light. It is the Divine Bounty, the sign of the guidance of God."
And
"As to the position of Christianity, let it be stated without any hesitation or equivocation that its divine origin is unconditionally acknowledged, that the Sonship and Divinity of Jesus Christ are fearlessly asserted, that the divine inspiration of the Gospel is fully recognized, that the reality of the mystery of the Immaculacy of the Virgin Mary is confessed, and the primacy of Peter, the Prince of the Apostles, is upheld and defended." (Bahá'í)
These are some of my beliefs of Christianity and Jesus.
loverofhumanity, I cannot doubt your sincerity or decency. Nor can I say much about the belief of Bahais, since I know very little; but I do feel qualified to comment on books that I have studied, and pored over, prayerfully, for years.
The conclusion that I have reached, and that I would like to discuss, is that the Qur'an and Bible are not compatible. The attempt to make them compatible involves either altering the text of the one, or of the other. Understandably, Muslims, and I assume Bahais, are keen to show that the Qur'an is inerrant whilst the Bible is unreliable.
I believe the evidence is available to prove otherwise. I know that this kind of persuasion is not easy, because it involves more than cold logic. There is pride at stake, and sometimes lives too.
