Are all passages from the Bible and the Koran equal?

[Anonymous]

Take the two following passages as examples:

"Kill them wherever you encounter them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, for persecution is more serious than killing." https://quran.com/2/191?translations=31,101,22,85,21,84,17,95

"38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205%3A38-40&version=NIV

Yes, they are equal.

No, they are not equal. One is better than the other.

See results.

No and nor can they be.

The bible is translated atrociously to English. But even worse are the footnotes in the bible. Most are missing and mistranslated.

The bible verses are actually WORSE as they are deliberately misconstrued.

What language do you think the Bible should be read in? Latin? Greek? Hebrew? Aramaic?

[strateguy632]

actually it is quite accurate in ylt version and almost always, niv is accurate translation. you think bible scholars don't know greek and English? they know the original greek and that translation is accurate.

Of course you have the receipts to back that up, don't you?

Is the second half of the Koran better or worse than the New Testament?

[Asker]

I don't know. I have not read it. Have you?

[strateguy632]

the order of quran is by size of chapter, so second half isn't realy second. a tradition identified the later ones, that replace earlier peaceful ideas, by the law of last mention.

[strateguy632]

equal? has many possible interpretation. for a muslim quran holy but bible not so not equal. inverse for non muslim.

nobody used bible war content to recruit warriors, because judaism specified several time limits, this is not equal same to quran that is used to recruit...

[bededazzle]

no. there are differences. how do the examples you used relate?

[Asker]

I am just wondering if people think everything in these holy books are equal.

[bededazzle]

i haven’t fully read either so i shouldn’t say unfortunately. i was just curious

[Lara_Croft]

The other one is driven by the Spirit of the antichrist the other isn't so no they aren't equal

[FreyaRed]

There is no difference between Bible and Quran when you use those books to light a fire

Just when will all this pathetic forum Bollox come to an end!

In the Bible they believe that Jesus is lord and in the Quraan is Allah lord and Jesus is only a messagger from Allah and Jesus is the son of Maria peace be upon them insha'Allah
