[QUOTE]Originally posted by unfinished thought.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [qb]again all your quotes from the 4 gospels written by men [/qb][/QUOTE]..inspired from God. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [qb] God has been very clear in that he gave clear guidelines to follow and told you what sin was. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yet the Bible is a much better book of guidence than the Quran is. The Bible is a clear book without ambiguous meanings and double talk. The Quran, far from being a clear book is replete with contradictions and confusion. That is why Muslims can find anything they want in the Quran and interpret it in any way they wish. Osama Bin Laden can find verses that justify his crimes against humanity and you can find verses to portray Islam as a moderate religion. Far from being a book of guidance, the Quran misguides people. Muslims will do much better if they stop following this book of confusion and rely on their own intelligence to find their way, just like other people do. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [qb] God gave 10 Commandments to Moses, if Jesus didnt come to abolish this Law then why dont 'Christians' still follow this Law instead of replacing it for what Paul said? [/qb][/QUOTE]We still follow the moral law, the difference is that we are now under a New Covenant. Jesus fulfilled the old covenant does not mean it became irrelevant. Without the old there cannot be new. How are we to know the difference without a comparison? Moroever, the terms of both the covenants were same - the Ten Commandments. The only difference is in the LOCATION of the commandments. In the old covenant they were located in the tablets of stone. Under the new covenant they are written in the believers' hearts. "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people." (Heb. 8:10) The old testament was about the Law, with the Ten Commandments being its foundation. The law is to show you your need for salvation- it can not perfect you. The Law and the Prophets were taught until John (the Baptist), after this, the kingdom is being preached/taught. Jesus is said to be the fulfilment of the Law. He inaugurated a new covenant. As there can be no "new" without an "old" you can't just have the New Testament because you won't understand why we have it. The Bible is one story from the beginning and from the OT we gain an understanding of many things and why we need a Saviour. Both OT and NT are about Jesus and God's mercy and grace and His plan for our redemption and salvation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
