[Vision2020] The Qur'an and the Bible

[Ralph Nielsen]

Yes, Doug (Farris or Wilson), the Qur'an is very similar to the  
Bible. Don't Christians and Muslims say they both worship the same God?

"Blessed be the LORD my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my  
fingers for battle" (Psalm 144:1).

"Thus says the LORD: I am coming against you, and will draw my sword  
out of its sheath, and will cut off from you both righteous and  
wicked" (Ezekiel 21:3b).

"And the LORD changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to  
bring on his people" (Exodus 32:14).

"I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior" (Isaiah 43:11).

And so on...

I just love this line "the enemy is the violence they exalt." Like
their sharia law and the last thing that was said in the Koran was not
the important point... "death to the infidel"!

  From one of Doug Wilson's sermons: "The Koran is not organized
chronologically, but rather the same way the letters of Paul are
organized in the New Testament-—by length. This leads many people to
think that “peace” verses in the Koran and “war” verses are all jumbled
together, to be sorted out as the occasion demands. But the peace
verses were from the first Meccan period, and they were abrogated by
the jihad verses that began in Medina. “If we abrogate a verse or cause
it to be forgotten, We will replace it with a better one or one
similar” (Surah 2:106)."
