Report: Koran vs. Bible
In history, there have been many different religions. However, only a few select religions have survived and are still practiced today. This report will compare and contrast the two most popular religions’ holy books- the Koran and the Bible.
The Koran is the paramount of Muhammad’s teachings. He is said to be the most important prophet of Allah, the Muslim’s god. While Muhammad was teaching, the Muslims, those who could read and write, wrote down what Muhammad taught. They wrote his teachings down on anything they could find; pieces of paper, leaves, stones, bits of leather, or clay. Then, Muhammad’s right-hand man, Abu Bakr, suggested that all the bits and scraps that had Muhammad’s …show more content…
The Koran shows further signs of corruption with its description of “heaven”: Those who kill or are killed by unbelievers will return to the garden of Paradise (Koran 9:111), where they shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall be many lustful pleasures- immortal youths waiting on them with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine, sex with virgins, fruits of their own choice and flesh of fowls that they relish. The Bible has a totally different outlook: Those who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and submitted their lives to his Lordship will enjoy eternal bliss in heaven, where there will be no pain or sorrow, no disease or death. “But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (Revelations 21:8) In this section, it is learned that the Muslim’s version of heaven stems off of earthly and immoral desires in contrast to the biblical version, which is defined by eternal bliss and complete …show more content…
The Koran says, “Those who invoke a god other than Allah not only should meet punishment in this world but the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to them, and they will dwell therein in ignominy." (Koran 25:68) and "Non-believers (Christians, Jews and all others) will go to hell and will drink boiling water" (Koran 14:17). The Bible says that unbelievers have a chance to be redeemed at any time of their life if they accept Jesus as their Savior. But, for those who don’t, It (hell) will be a place of misery and pain, where only the wicked will reside. And it will be eternal. There will be no escape, "No Exit." Throughout the Old and New Testaments, hell was described as a place of fire and burning. This "bottomless pit" is a "great furnace" in "outer darkness" (Mat. 8:12; 22:13), covered with a "mist of blackness (or, darkness)" (2 Pet. 2:17). "There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth." (Mat. 18:41, 42) God sends no one to hell; anyone who goes there, goes by choice. This final section sums up everything this report has previously discussed –Austin
