the Koran vs the Bible
8:61 And if they incline to peace, incline thou also to it, and trust in Allah. Lo! He, even He, is the Hearer, the Knower.
Hebrews 12:14
Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Well, so far so good. So, these guys in Turkey were not only going against the Bible, but also against their own Koran?
2:191 And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.
Oh, well here we go. Here's the contrast with the Bible.
Luke 6:29
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.
Romans 12:19
Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
---------------------------------------------------------------
4:89 They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,
James 5:20
remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Matthew 5:44
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, quite a difference there, too.
5:51 O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
1 Corinthians 9: 19
Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
John 1:7
He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Big difference there, too. Which one sounds more godly?
8:15 O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them.
8:16 Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless manoeuvring for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end.
Luke 6:27
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I see. Fight to the death vs love your enemies.
9:123 O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).
Romans 12:18
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
---------------------------------------------------------------
38:33 (Then he said): Bring them back to me, and fell to slashing (with his sword their) legs and necks.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
:lmp:

I know who saved my soul and I want this world to know, that I was once blind, once lost, Now I'm blood bought, reconciled to God by the blood He shed on the cross. -Eternal M.o.G.
