This book is an attempt to criticize the Bible. Comparison with the Holy Quran is the basis of my criticism.
Genre: RELIGION / Biblical Studies / General
The Old Testament says:
“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17
But Adam didn’t die. Why? Does Islam agree with the Old Testament?
Answer:
The Holy Quran says:
“And We said, "O Adam! You and your wife dwell in this Garden, and eat freely from it wherever you please - but do not approach this tree for you will become of those who transgress.” 2:35
The God didn’t tell Adam that he would die if he ate from the tree. I can say that Genesis 2:16-17 are not from the original Bible, but they are from the changed Bible.
Many Christians believe that Genesis 2:16-17 indicate that the sin of Adam must be punished by death. Since Adam was not punished by death, the Christ was crucified. We –Muslims- believe that the Christ was not crucified. Adam’s repentance was accepted. The Holy Quran says:
“Then Adam learnt from his Lord certain words (of revelation), therefore Allah accepted his repentance; indeed He only is the Most Acceptor of Repentance, the Most Merciful.” 2:37
that man is like the God. I intend to discuss this major issue in a separate detailed question. But I have proved that Genesis 5:1 and Genesis 9:6 are not from the original Bible. They are from the changed Bible because man can never be like the God.
