how does that differ from the jewish torah or the christian bible?
“Islam, however, is so sloppily constructed ... “

So true.
Good article.
It’s a murder cult.
But if the Koran is God, and Allah is God, the Islamic doctrine of hard monadic monotheism falls apart.
I don’t think this is necessarily an accurate understanding of what Muslims mean. They probably believe the Qur’an is eternal as Christians believe God’s Word is eternal (Psalm 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; 1 Peter 1:24-25).
And the idea of the Qur’an being “uncreated” might mean that it is so much a part of the essence of Allah (because it emanates from him) that it cannot be considered a mere creature like so many other things. Isaiah 55:11 is similar in tone to this.
The Koran was written by a scam artist who used its teachings to overcome Christians and justify their savage treatment. While “the Prophet” was savagely raping a wife in the blood of her beheaded husband, his gang of thugs were robbing, raping, beheading, rounding up their women as sex slaves and healthy men as slaves. What a contrast to the early apostles who were performing miracles, healing the sick and feeding the poor.
Mr. Konrad chose the right place to post this deeply philosophical article. Very interesting analysis.
I’m sure this important, subtle theological point will be met and considered with much deep philosophical and theological reflection by readers of the Koran.
Hard to believe no one has noted Isaiah 40:8, “The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God remains forever.” Which Peter quotes again in I Peter 1:25.
Now when the NT quotes the OT, the passage quoted is always of special significance.......
RE: Note Jesus name written on His robe in Revelation 19:13 - read 19:11 - 16.
Kind of like Fundamentalist Protestants who say the Bible is the “ultimate authority,” when actually only G-d is the Ultimate Authority.
