between the Bible and the Koran there are many differences. Since Mohammed in the Koran, the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospels makes reference to and as sent by God means the result is a clear contradiction. Typically, the opposition of Muslims in fakes is explained in the Bible.
This forgery allegations are of course outrageous. They are evidence of little respect towards other religions and Islam makes it extremely easy for the enlightenment of its own contradictions.
evidence There are no fakes, but it is by many Muslims claim that Paul was said to be the great forger. This claim we shall now examine more closely.
There are two main questions we want to treat here:
- Is there evidence that Paul has something fake?
- Is there evidence that Paul has faked anything?
first Is there evidence that Paul has something fake?
evidence there is no, there is conjecture. It is in connection with the forgery accusation often spoken of the important role of Paul.
Some even say that Paul was a Roman and Roman as the young religion of Jewish origin has distorted.
The reply is to that Paul was indeed a Roman citizen, a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin was. Paul was a very religious man, trained by one of the leading Jewish theologians of the day: Gamaliel
Conclusion: there is no evidence, but it is only the person Paul stressed excessively in order to construct a proof.
second Is there evidence that Paul has faked anything?
course, there are no more witnesses, but very probably many early Christian documents, and also is much of life and work of Paul announced it may seek evidence that we can based on this information to find.
The influence of Paul in the Bible is very low. Most of the Bible - the Old Testament - was created long before Paul lived and was spread throughout the Mediterranean region. is dated on the basis of their age before Paul finds - for example, finds in Qumram - we know the Bible well from generation to generation and not forgeries are made. This rules out a manipulation of Paul.
The Bible consists of the new and the old testament. In the New Testament, there are some letters from Paul harmonize very well with all other non-Pauline writings in the New Testament. For example, the four Gospels, the life and work of Jesus and witness to the Paul no Had influence. Then there are the Acts which was written by Luke, and there are the letters of John, James and Peter - all the apostles knew Jesus directly and independently of the report Paul. And finally there is the book of Revelation - and the fact Paul had no influence.
A forgery is not seen here - rather an affirmation that Paul has gone the right way.
Now we hear that Paul often forged in retrospect should have all the letters and Gospels. But even that is very easy to refute:
- Paul died around 65 AD, in Rome and that was just before last or the first Gospels were written. How could he fake as a dead thing?
- Paul was the last years of his life in the Roman prison. As Paul could make from prison fakes?
- Christianity spread, prior to the work of Paul very rapidly and the theology of each church are different to today only in a very small degree. There are no "non-Pauline Church and there was never a dominant force in Christianity, the distortion of the message would have to perform. At that time there was no Internet, no e-mail or planes. It would be impossible for one person, and even 1,000 people had to fake all of this.
- In addition to the writings in the Bible are there are many extra-biblical documents (eg Letter of Barnabas, Didache, etc. ..) which are developed independently of Paul and regarded as extra-biblical confirmation of the authenticity of the Gospels and the letters. As Paul could falsify it all?
Conclusion: Paul was not a forger.
There are between the Koran and the Bible, many differences and had to Mohammed during his lifetime awkward questions as to its specific teachings. Mohammed made it easily: He pushed his mistake to the other. At that time no one could prove to him that he is wrong and if you have tried it yet, you had to fear for his own life.
Today we may very well prove that Mohammed was wrong, but even that is now quite dangerous - as we know from our own experience.
But we can take to verify the facts of each and should be. And we can say that it is wrong to declare their own shortcomings so that the other is accused of forgery. And as you can see some point every false allegation is resolved.
Therefore, dear Muslims: Please explain to us why there are many differences between the Koran and the Bible - even though the Koran should be no loud. Please proves what you say and please start first before your own door before you try to sweep your other shortcomings in the shoes to push.
