He was such an Angry God, but then he had a Son and sort of mellowed a bit......
Quran comes from the OT or the OT comes from the Koran, just too much alike.
fellow posters----I read the koran before some of you were born----and long before MOST of the people in the area of the USA knew the word "koran"-----English translation---Pickthal---an Englishman. As far as I know---it was the only English translation of the koran at that time. I did not learn about islam by reading the koran------I learned about islam from muslims born and educated in muslim lands. I read the New Testament at about age 12-----I did not learn anything about Christianity from that reading either------Christianity I got from my friends and neighbors and some visits to churches. I read the Bhagavad Gita sometime in my teens when the Beetles were big news------and the Ramayana----Hinduism still confuses me. I also read the Divine Comedy and---the Odyssey, the Illiad and the Aneid. etc etc ------none of those
readings gave me much of a handle on the various religions of
the world. You might just as well compare the bible to MOBY DICK as an "experiment"

The Old Testament aka The Tanakh is older than the Quran and you should know this...
Islam and it Prophet were around 600 A.D. and the first Tanakh or something like it was around 580 B.C. which is almost one thousand years.
Also the Christian religion is older than Islam and you should also know this too...

I know the feeling and have stated many times I can understand almost every religion and myth and their connection to each other except Hinduism...![]()
Islam ....
The religion of Peace...
That old gag....
Fascinating.
If you watch Watters on Bile Ori'ly he attempts this kind of thing but Watters is dishonest in his methods. This is simply reading straight from the bible. You do this kind of thing in some parts of the south and they'd try to lynch you. Fake kristians DO NOT like their hypocrisy being brought out into the open like this at all.

The old testament is kind of like the star wars prequil in that it is the story that leads up to the story everyone is really interested in. Most of it talks about the coming of a 'messiah' who will bring clarity to the law of God. That did happen and the new testament was born. Everyone likes the new testament because it is filled with the saying and teachings of Jesus Christ which come out of the old traditions of ancient Israel.
I really don't know much about Quran but if they are practicing some of the stuff that was mentioned then I would be appalled just like I would be appalled by someone who thought every word of the old testament should be followed to the letter. There is a reason why people don't practice the old testament anymore. We don't stone people as punishment even though the old testament says to do so. Those were rules for ancient Israel not modern societies.
