To: TheConservativeCitizen; The Truth Will Make You Free
According to Time Magazine editor Bobby Ghosh, burning the Koran is “much more inflammatory than burning a Bible” because the Koran comes directly from God and the Bible doesn’t....
“The Bible is a book written by men. It is acknowledged by Christians that it is written by men. It’s the story of Jesus.”...
“If you’re a Muslim, the Koran is directly the word of God, not written by man. It is transcribed, it is directly the word of God.” ...
“That makes it sacred in a way that’s hard to understand if you’re not Muslim. So the act of burning a Koran is much more — potentially much, much more inflammatory than if you were to burn a Bible. You are directly attacking God...”

Ignorance on display, in all its 'might'...
There are only a couple of things written by the Finger of God:
The Ten Commandments - the two tables of Stone (Exodus 20).
And when Jesus wrote on the ground when the woman caught in adultery was brought before HIM (John 8).

The Bibles written today are printed by men (and their printing presses), as is the koran.
The Bible is the Word of God: 2 Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

That is, the Scriptures were given by the Holy Ghost who spoke through the prophets of old.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

The Apostles also delivered the Word of God.

And as "The Truth Will Make You Free" noted in Post 35:

2 Timothy 3:16a All scripture is given by inspiration of God...

The koran, on the other hand, is the inspired word of satan. It contains no self affirming prophecies that came true. And it is a book of lies and hate.

Interestingly enough, a person can burn the Bible - and God and HIS followers will forgive the foolish person. There is always hope for repentance. God is not harmed (how can one possibly harm the Infinite All Powerful God?) - but there is a loss to the burner (who will burn eternally if they don't repent).

Contrast that to the reaction of satan and his followers when his book (the koran) is burned: what follows is rage and mayhem...
Not very surprising, actually. Its spiritual author (satan) is bound for the lake of fire, and he's fairly short-tempered - knowing that his time is short. And it doesn't take much for him to get his minions to do his bidding.

Excellent post. I posted in haste upon reading the headline. And, the word “INSPIRED” in the Greek literally means “breathed” = in context, “God-breathed”.
