But the Quran clearly says the Bible was corrupted. And there Are differences between their various narratives-- Some extremely serious. I think when the Quran speaks so highly of the character of Lot, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a follower of the Quran to accept such tales in his name. I agree misreading the text can be a problem, and I agree the Bible contains more of God's words than men's words, but this does not amount to infallibility, or the idea that we have to accept such smears on the impeccable character of God's chosen prophets.

I don't understand why so many on this forum are trying to reconcile Biblical and Quranic inerrancy. THERE ARE clear differences between the two. I for one view the account of Lot and his daughters as a shameful blasphemy against a noble prophet of God. When reading bible (or Hadith) the Quran MUST remain the ultimate criterion (furqan).

Like I stated before the Old Testament espouses a very human caricature of God. I don't understand what was so shocking to you.

I would also like to add that the Bible, at time, presents a strangely anthropomorphized view of God that would be considered blasphemous from an Islamic perspective. See the narrative of Jacob wrestling with God for an example.
These are undoubtedly falsifications in His scripture, as Brother Hamzeh has pointed out.

My apologies Student I wrote my previous comment without much thought. I already reported it to the moderates even before I saw your new message.

Hi Student, if you have any questions about the Bible specifically (not Islam), there are many other places on the Internet where you can find answers. As to the particular question you just asked, this is a very famous quote, and you can find much writing devoted to it.

Traditionalists do judge by what God reveals. But they also judge with other sources. Wrong? Yes. Disbelief? NO.

Even if our traditionalist brothers in faith see us as "stupid kaffirs", they are still brothers to us.

Yes, perhaps the afterlife did fall victim to some of the crimes of some of the Children of Israel, perhaps to peddle some theological agenda. But that is no longer relevant, seeing as we now have pure, undefiled scripture explicitly mentioning the afterlife in great detail. There is no longer any excuse for anyone not to acknowledge this nowadays (provided they have come into contact with it and are aware of its true message).

Firstly, I don't know where you got this idea from, but as far as I know Saudi Arabia allows non Muslims into Mecca.
Secondly, Saudi Arabia has many laws that have no Quranic basis or are even directly contradictory to it. Simply because they inhabit the same territory that Islam was born in, doesn't mean they represent it.

Dear Student-
Jews were invited to accept the veracity of the Quran and re-read their holy books accordingly. Thus, they would have discovered the truth of the afterlife that had become somewhat 'hidden' to them over the years.
