Fast one today . hah . supposed to be in a meeting
now .
Hemm
.... dunno where did u get the impression
that there are different bibles
for different
denomination. Anglicans use the same one as
Methodist and
AOG and Charismatics. But the
publisher , translator can be different. Yet
, i
think the only one different would be the
Catholics as they have
additional 4 books which
the rest don't. You can read it in the web on
why
Catholics put it is and Protestents don't . both
have logical
reasonings. Read also on how a bible
tranlation is done and how the Jews
transcibe
their old Torah and Zauburs. You can actually know
what is the
original document , the date , writer
, etc. that the translators use. It
is as more
science in it than just a literature.
Hemm .. good idea
on the single translation. That
is why , there are many revised version
when
scholars relook into a better English / BM /
Chinese/ Spanish etc.
translation.
How is Quran compiled ? I read from sejarah that
it is
done many years after the death of your
prophet. What is the methodology
since it is
written by a compilor and not the author . Does
that ensure
accuracy?
Do you / scholars see consistency in these 5 books
in
doctrinal teaching ? For Christians , we uphold
the old testament ( Zabur
and Taurat ) with a more
defined understanding of God and His purposes.
For
example , we learn that salvation is now not only
confined to the
Jews but to the rest of the world.
And the texts do support in terms of
writting and
prophecy . For example , in Deutronomy where God
spoke to
Moses about curses and blessing. Another
one is about food. The bible does
not dislike us
to eat pork le. The Jews have restriction on
things that
they can eat , one of them is a split
hoof animal ( that includes pig ..
and many more .
Read Leviticus 11 ) but true to the teaching that
what
makes a men holy is not what that goes in but
what that comes out , Read
Acts 10 where there is
no restriction of clean and unclean ( vs 11)
where
"The voice spoke to him a second time, "The voice
spoke to him a
second time, "Do not call anything
impure that God has made
clean."
If i may be inquisitive, ( have this question
since school -
but cannot ask since can kena ISA -
haha ) , why then "God" decides to come
out
another list of things to eat/ not to eat in
Quran? Assuming that is
is a continuation.
gota go.tks for ur time.
