| He wrote: Qur'an Contradiction:
How many days did Allah need to destroy the people of Aad?
My response: First of all, Allah Almighty doesn't need anything. The title right from the start shows how shallow-minded, careless and ludicrous Jochen Katz, or should I say, the joking cat, is.
He wrote: The Qur'an speaks in various passages about the people of Aad, and about their destruction by terrible tornado as punishment from Allah for their disobedience. The Qur'an, however, contradicts itself in the number of days this wind endured. Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity, [54:19] Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days, that We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world. And verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful, and they will not be helped. [41:16] And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind, Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees. [69:6-7] According to Sura 54:19, the wind continued for a single day, while 41:16 uses the plural form indicating at least three days, and 69:7 specifies exactly eight days.
My response: Anyone with the least amount of brain can see the following: 1- The Noble Word "day" in Noble Verse 54:19 can mean either of the two:
day 6. 7. A period of time in history; an era: We studied the tactics used in Napoleon's day. The day of computer science is well upon us. 8. days Period of life or activity: The sick cat's days will soon be over. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=days)
3- The Noble Words "seven long nights and eight long days" in Noble Verses 69:6-7 are obviously referring to an exact and specific time range that the event started and finished in.
By the way, he is no stranger to the special dumpster section that I created for the likes of him. This article will be linked in that section to further annihilate this careless writer and to make a good example out of him for those who dare to attack GOD Almighty's Divine Truth in the future.
And by the way, while we're at it, let us examine the REAL contradictions and man's alterations in this loser's bible: From http://www.answering-christianity.com/bible_quran_differences.htm: Irrefutable contradictions, and proofs that the original authors of today's Bible are UNKNOWN! Muslims and Christians both agree that the Noble Quran does not agree with today's Bible in everything. Just because the Bible might disagree on something in the Noble Quran, it doesn't at all negate the claim of the Noble Quran or make it false. There is a certain flow of logic that the Noble Quran presents which we the Muslims believe that it is the truth. The Bible's contents today were not written by their original authors. For example, we read from the book of Matthew so many verses such as this one: "...And as Jesus passed forth thence, HE (Jesus) saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and HE (Jesus) saith unto HIM (Matthew), follow ME (Jesus) and HE (Matthew) arose, and followed HIM (Jesus). (Matthew 9:9)" Did "Matthew" write this about himself? Why then didn't Matthew write for example: "he (Jesus) saw ME, and my name is Matthew. I was sitting at the receipt of custom…" etc. Similarly, we read in the books of Moses things such as "And the LORD said to Moses...", or "Moses went to that place....", etc... We also read in the Old Testament about Moses' burial. Now if Moses alone supposedly wrote his books, then how is it possible for him to write about his own burial when he is already dead??!! Such evidence can be found in many places throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament. The so called "Original letters/Gospels" that were written in Greek and Hebrew, were written by third party people!
II Samuel 10:18 talks about David slew
the men of 700 chariots of the Syrians and 40,000 horsemen and Shobach
the commander. I Chronicles 9:25 says that Solomon
had 4000 stalls for horses and chariots. Ezra 2:5 talks about an exile Arah
having 775 sons. II Samuel 24:13 So God came to David, and told
him, and said unto him, shall SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE come unto thee in
thy land? or will thou flee three months before thine enemies, while
they pursue. thee? How did Judas die? 2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore MICHAL the daughter of
Saul had no child unto the day of her death. 2 Kings 24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And
his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
26th year of the reign of Asa I Kings 16:6-8
How old was Ahaziah when he began to reign? Who was Josiah's successor? Also, your original scriptures are all doubtful according to the Bible's own theologians and historians. It's quite hilarious that even the Bible itself admits that it has been tampered with and corrupted by man's garbage: "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)" The Revised Standard Version makes
it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are
wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of
the scribes has made it into a lie.
(From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)" And regarding who wrote the books and gospels of the Bible, as I quoted above, here is a sample of what the NIV Bible's theologians and historians wrote: "Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost. (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)" "Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)" "The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)" "The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)" "It seems safe to conclude that the book, at least in its early form, dates from the beginning of the monarchy. Some think that Samuel may have had a hand in shaping or compiling the materials of the book, but in fact we are unsure who the final author or editor was. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 286)" "Although, according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually uncertain. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)" "The date of the composition is also unknown, but it was undoubtedly during the monarchy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)" "The author is unknown. Jewish tradition points to Samuel, but it is unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David (4:17,22) implies a later date. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 360)" "Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368)" "There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)" "Whoever the author was, it is clear that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)" "According to ancient Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but this cannot be established with certainty. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)" "Although we do not know who wrote the book of Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about the author and the date of composition. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 707)" "The unknown author probably had access to oral and/or written sources....(From the NIV Bible commentary, page 722)" "Regarding authorship, opinions are even more divided....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 773)" etc... How do you respond to this?
It is quite obvious that Christians today believe in third party authors' words as the words of GOD. This is a very serious corruption in the Bible that must be taken into deep consideration by the Bible's followers. Please visit "Is the Bible the true word of GOD?" to see a full and complete paper about the logical corruptions in the Bible, along with many Christian famous priests and ministers opinions that agree with the Bible's corruption. I have their personal quotes in that site.
After that, please visit: Prophet Muhammad was foretold in many places in the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments.
