The Bible and the Qur’an
QUESTION: Masters please tell me is the bible a true book from God (Jehovah) and is it a perfect book without mistakes in relation to Christianity? Is the Qur’an also a true book from Allah in relations to Islam? ~James, Ghana
ANSWER: Organized religions memorialize their doctrines and beliefs first in oral form and then in written books. The Bible has had many iterations throughout the centuries. It has had sections removed – such as those dealing with reincarnation, the importance of women, and homosexuality – and material added to ensure compliance with hierarchal demands.
Various Bibles exist today, each adopted by a Christian denomination based upon its suitability to the principles the sect desires to impose on their congregation. Additionally, there is the Hebrew Bible, which is essentially only the Old Testament. All theologians and historians agree that the Bible was written by a series of writers. None of the authors existed until billions of Earth years after the planet came into existence, so their renditions of creation and the lives of various prophets and leaders came from stories they heard, their imaginations, or, sometimes, from conversations with nonphysicals.
There is much proof within the documents that sections exist to create a mindset in agreement with the direction of the organization’s leadership. A lot of the proclamations deal with issues prevalent in ancient times in long-deceased cultures. The over-riding theme of the Bible is cultural control of one racial segment by another. Historical archeology has proven that many reported travels by masses of people did not occur – and could not have occurred. Many of the stories told in the Bible can be found to replicate the beliefs of Eastern religions, Druid cults, and magick doctrines. They are not unique to Christian or Jewish texts.
The Qur’an was reportedly given to Mohammad over a 23 year period toward the end of his life by Archangel Gabriel. Mohammad could neither read nor write, so if he received the text he had to have related it to someone else to copy it down. There have been many different versions of the document located, and several of them contradict sections within others. Some of the scribes were not very well thought of for their accuracy.
To answer your question, we will merely say that all persons living a life on Earth are pieces of the Source referred to by many as God, or Jehovah or Allah. Therefore, anything which is written in the Bible or the Qur’an can be said to have come from at least a piece of Source.
Both of these documents, as well as the Jewish Torah, are revered by their respective religions. The amount of credence given to each varies according to the accepted beliefs of each group within the religion. As we say about all information delivered from, or allegedly arising from, the Source, see how it “feels” to you – does it resonate within you? If it does, then accept the parts of it which explain and assist you on your journey.
