"I have a Christian friend with whom I often get into long religious discussions. And one time he tried to argue that Christianity is better and more complete than Islam essentially because the Bible is a bigger book than the Quran. And he would go on and on about how the Bible has everything you need."
Dear Gilberto, I've sometimes heard Baha'is repeat the same thing but the only authoriative text they gave for this was half a sentence written on bahelf of the Guardian which appears in one of the Palabra books. "[6:38] "We have not neglected anything in the Book," And I would say that the basic essentials are there, and the rest is just detail." What is 'essential' in one age may not have been so essential previously. There are a lot of details in the Qur'an I don't consider essential at all, but it seems to be silent on other issues which are extremely important to me, like the eguality of women and men. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
