: Dear Brother Jochen,
: Thank you again for your response,
: I will start where you do;
: : : Jesus is quoted in the Bible "Why do you call me good?"
: : : Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone."
: : : {Mark 10:18}
: :{ That is a correct quote. Now what is the context and what
: : did he mean? Have a look at this page to find out more.}
: More ways for Christians to twist words around, only to alter content.
:
: : : Jesus offered Alcohol to people {John 2:8}
: : : The Bible says Alcohol takes away from peoples understanding {Hosea 4:11} Maybe thats why The Bible has thousands of errors
: {This is cheap polemics.}
: That is certainly not the intension, just to present the facts.
: {But if you are interested in a Biblical view of alcohol, then I would
: recommend this page.}
: Yes, this site says Christians follow Grace, not the Law of Moses, this is what Paul said not Jesus Click Here for Proof on how Paul changed Christianity and Obtain True Salvation
: Furthermore, alcohol is still an addictive drug that the Bible Labels Jesus as a distributer, would you like to see Jesus on a Beer Logo, then why follow the Bible.
:
: {Oh, by the way, I don't remember if you ever responded to these Qur'an Contradictions
: since you love Bible contradictions so much. How about you apply yourself to your own book first?}
: I am sorry to hear your memory failing you since this is the third
: time replying to this amusing claim as you can see in the posts below.
: Just to refresh you memory:
: Thank you, I have enjoyed it very much, it has increased my faith
: : in Islam to new peaks.
: : I learned several things about you.
: : 1. is that you are fair enough to post responses and links.
: : 2. Is that you don’t like the superiority of the Koran over the
: : Bible, some one stuck you pretty hard with the contradictions in
: : the different accepted ‘versions’ of the Bible, so you try in vain
: : to find "contradictions" in the unaccepted ‘translations’ of the
: : Koran.
: : 3. Your technique for attempting to reveal a "contradiction" has
: : been very well exposed by
: :
: : You have been exposed for adding words that don’t even appear in
: : the ‘translations’, for using a part of the verse, for comparing
: : 1 story with a completely different story like the case of Pharaoh,
: : and when I read that Dr. Maurice found Pharaoh’s body, well let me
: : say it was very exciting to read. Brother Mishaal ibn Abdullah
: : takes your "contradictions" and show you how little you know about
: : the Koran and how futilely you attempt to generate a "contradiction".
: More upon request
: Your Brother in Islam: Mohamed.
: a Christian intruder
Jesus was perfect according to the Bible. He was baptized as an example to us that this is the right thing to do. Since it is the right thing to do, naturally Jesus did it.
I hope you don't mind my butting in, but I had to clarify. It doesn't make anyone any less a Christian not to know this, or even to disagree.
The Bible, or Qu'ran for that matter, should be quoted in such a way that what it is saying is not distorted.
Jesus was perfect, if not He would not have been a sufficient sacrifice. I explained this in another debate.
I know of no Christians who are knowledgeable in our faith that would disagree that Jesus is in fact perfect, and is
God in the flesh (God is perfect, and the only one who is perfect).God can do what we cannot and what we cannot understand.
If you are going to say something that represents another faith, it would be only polite to make sure you are representing the beliefs of that
faith correctly.
Humble servant of Christ,
Barbara
