The Holy Bible.

     Pictured at the top left is a copy of a version of the Holy Bible, known as the King James Version ( KJV ).  Below that is a copy of the Koran.  SURA CIX ( UNBELIEVERS ) reads as follows:

"[1] SAY: O ye UNBELIEVERS!  [2] I worship not that which ye worship, [3] and ye do not worship that which I worship; [4] I shall never worship that which ye worship, [5] neither will ye worship that which I worship.  [6] To you be your religion; to me my religion."

     There is a footnote associated with the above-given passage from the Koran, which reads as follows:

"1 This Sura is said to have been revealed when Walid urged Muhammed to consent that his God should be worshipped at the same time with the old Meccan deities, or alternately every year.  Hishami, p. 79; Tabari, p. 139.  It is a distinct renunciation of Meccan idolatry, as the following Sura is a distinct recognition of the Divine Unity."  [  See THE KORAN, Rodwell, J.M., DOVER PUBLICATIONS, INC., Mineola, New York, "This Dover edition, first published in 2005, is an unabridged republication of the work first published by J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd., London, in 1909.," p. 29.  ]

Actually, SURA CIX ( UNBELIEVERS ), especially verse six, is a claim of freedom of religion.  The concept of freedom of religion ( the justifying of false religion ) is condemned in the Holy Bible ( see Matthew 7:21-23, for example ).

     Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."  In making this statement, He rules out Buddha, Confucius, Mohammed, and everyone else.  There is one true religion, Christianity: Judaism became obsolete when Jesus died on the cross of Calvary, though we can still learn from it ( see Luke 23:26-49 ( especially verse 33, for example ), Romans 10:1-4 ( especially verse 4, for example ); 15:1-4 ( especially verse 4, for example ), Colossians 2:11-17 ( especially verse 14, for example ), Hebrews, chapter 8 ( especially verse 13 ( NKJV, for example ), for example ), Hebrews, chapter 9 ( especially verses 12-18, for example ), and Hebrews, chapter 10 ( especially verses 1-18, 22, for example ), for example ).

     The heavenly Father ( see Matthew 5:9, 16; 6:9, 14, for example ) revealed nothing to Mohammed: there have been no miracles since the apostle John finished writing the book of Revelation circa A.D. 95 or 96 ( see Mark 16:19, 20 ( especially verse 20, for example ) and 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 ( especially verses 8-10, for example ), for example, and cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ( especially verse 16, for example ), for example ).  Moreover, the true nature of God is defined by the Godhead, namely: God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Ghost ( see John 10:30, Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:8, 9, and 1 John 5:6-8, for example ); not the Divine Unity mentioned above.  Finally, Jesus ( see John 8:21 ) said in verse twenty-four, "24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."

     The Koran is not God's word: it is a religious counterfeit.  Islam is false religion because Mohammed was a false prophet.  Please study the Holy Bible ( which is God's word - see Psalm 119:65-73, 142, 151, John 17:1, 3, 17, and 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16, 17, for example ).
