Pictured to the left is a copy of a version of the Holy Bible, known as the ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION ( ESV ). Below it is a copy of the Koran. Psalm 145:1-4 read as follows:
"I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. 2 Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts."
SURA II-THE COW, verse 110, reads as follows:
"110 And they say, 'God hath a son:' No! Praise be to Him! But-His, whatever is in the Heavens and the Earth! All obeyeth Him."
The god of the Muslims ( Allah ) does not have a son ( as revealed in verse one hundred ten, above ). The one true God of the Holy Bible ( see John 17:1-3 ( especially verse 3, for example ), for example ) has "his only begotten Son" ( see John 3:16; KJV ).
The heavenly Father ( see Matthew 5:9, 16; 6:9, 14, for example ), and His Son Jesus, for example, can perform miracles ( see Genesis 1:1, 26, and 27; Mark 16:20; John 1:1, 14; 2:11 ( see John 2:11 ( KJV; with center-column references ) to get the equivalent translation for the word "miracles" ); 10:30; 14:6; Romans 1:20 ( see Romans 1:20 ( KJV, for example; with center-column references, for example ) to get the equivalent translation for the word "Godhead" ); 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 ( especially verse 10, for example ); Colossians 2:8, 9 ( KJV, for example ); and 1 John 5:7 ( KJV, for example ), for example, and cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 ( especially verse 16, for example ), for example ), though miracles are not occurring at this time. Allah, on the other hand, "has no real existence" ( see 1 Corinthians 8:4 ). Therefore, as a Christian ( see Acts 11:26, for example ), I will say ( as indicated in the first verse three, above ), "God is great!" A similar statement made by the Muslims has no meaning.
The Koran is not God's word ( the heavenly Father revealed nothing to Mohammed ), the Holy Bible is ( see Psalm 119:65-73, 142, and 151; John 17:17; and 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16, 17, for example ). Please read the Holy Bible ( see Luke 8:19-21 ( especially verse 21, for example ); 11:27, 28 ( especially verse 28, for example ); and Revelation 1:1-8 ( especially verse 3, for example ), for example ).
