For starters the Quran is the Word of Allah so you will not find statements like I muhammad said this or that.
Apple Pie wrote:You will not find any statements because it is not the word of "allah"...
What! I think that's backwards. you wont find any I Muhammad statements because its not from Muhammad. Duhh!
Fact is...nobody claims ownership of the Koran.
Apple Pie wrote:None of these ayahs state the Koran to be divinely inspired nor someone named "Muhammad" had anything to do with the text.
In fact, the term "Koran", simply means "collection"....of prior written Biblical material.
Prove it where is your source?
The Koran is the source...and it is completely silent regarding this crucial point.
Why is that...?

Me who? He says to who? Who is telling who to write?
Jesus Christ (God) is telling this to John.
Apple Pie wrote:And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride, having been adorned for her Husband. And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God with men! And He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no longer, nor mourning, nor outcry, nor will there be pain any more; for the first things passed away. And the One sitting on the throne said, Behold! I make all things new. And He says to me, Write, because these Words are faithful and true. (Rev 21.2 – 5)
John Who? Who wrote the books of the OT?
The Book of Revelation is in the NT.
Apple Pie wrote:And I, John, was the one seeing and hearing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things. (Rev 22.8)
John Who? This was a dream right?
John, the author of the Book of Revelation, concerning the divinity of Jesus Christ.
The authors of the Koran understood this...
Apple Pie wrote:The bulk of the Koranic material is taken directly from the Book of Revelation – of which, this Biblical material is clearly signed by John, as both seeing and hearing Jesus’ divine Revelation and writing it down.
You keep making all these statements but you have and show no proof.
Here are just a few suras that are composed from Book of Revelation material...
Sura 53
Sura 81
Sura 86
Sura 100
Sura 103
Sura 106
Sura 108
You manuscripts don't even go back to the lifetime of Jesus how can you say that he heard it and wrote it down. They began to write the earliest is probably 100 years after Jesus. Where is your proof?
The Holy Bible was fully canonized hundreds of years
before the Koran was even penned.
Maybe its me but your posts are not showing any proof just a bunch of statements...false statements as well.
I said that your manuscripts don't go back to the lifetime of Jesus so you can't say that the disciples heard it and wrote it down. your reply is
Apple Pie wrote:The Holy Bible was fully canonized hundreds of years before the Koran was even penned.
[/quote]
The bible being canonized before the Quran was penned has nothing to do with anything yet another way of dodging the point! I said your manuscripts don't date back to the time of Jesus the earliest is maybe 80-100 years after is when they could say they even started writing. So they heard it and wrote it down 80 years laters huh! The Quran unlike the bible was also preserved by memorization but you don't have anyone you can likely refer to that has memorized the entire bible do you?
I guess I'll stop asking you to show proof about your claim that the Quran is copied from the bible cause you continue not to do so.
John who I asked...
Apple Pie wrote:John, the author of the Book of Revelation, concerning the divinity of Jesus Christ.
John the author of the book of revelation...okay Who is John this doesn't tell me anything about who he is. How do you know that he is the one who wrote it? Anybody could be John you know nothing about who this John without a last name is? WHo is his father? Something!
Historians have said that Matthew, Mark Luke and John were only pen names meaning that no one knew who was the author of those manuscripts and those names were penned by someone else because originally there was no signature. Mark was not a disciple of Jesus, Luke was not a disciple of Jesus but he was a companion of Paul on his missionary Joruneys and was present during his imprisonment. He there fore had more knowledge of the teachings of Paul than of Jesus himself. The Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts are assumed to have been written by the same person, since they are addressed to the same individual, a Roman named Theophilus. The author was a doctor, Paul notes in Colossians 4:14. If Mark represents the teachings of Peter about Jesus, Luke most likely represents the teachings of Paul. Luke claims to have researched his material, but his dating, especially in the early chapters regarding Jesus' birth, is inconsistent with other sources.
The identity of John has remained a mystery, although tradition has it that he is "the disciple that Jesus loved" mentioned in John 13:23. But here is a curious thing. In the entire gospel, John never mentions his own name.
The letters to the Romans, the Corinthians, the Galatians, the Ephesians, the Philippians, the Colossians, the Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus and Philemon are widely assumed to have come from the hand of the apostle Paul and are called the Pauline epistles for that reason.
E. P. Sanders says it's fairly clear Paul was unaware of the four Gospels, and the authors of the Gospels didn't know of Paul's letters.
The letter of James isn't anonymous, but it's not known who exactly James was. Five people named James are mentioned in the New Testament.
The Revelation is often called the Revelation of Saint John, yet while the gospel author avoids mentioning his own name in order to focus attention on Jesus, the author of Revelation mentions his own name repeatedly.

Now referring back to the Quran 2:2 you have the translation as
Apple Pie wrote:That The Book no doubt/suspicion in it, (it is) guidance to the fearing and obeying[/i]. [/color]
When the translation from the Quran reads 2:2
This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah.
As I told you before the arabic word Thalika means "this is" That is simple basic arabic. What is the "this" which the Quran is referring to? it is itself this is the Book. Why do you insist on changing the words meaning to suite your own purpose I have not done that when I quote from your bible.
Applie Pie wrote:Jesus Christ (God) is telling this to John.
This is your assumption I don't see in the writing Jesus mentioning him by name. If thats the case why isn't it mentioned to the other Gospel writers?
