Real simple ~ if you believe what the Bible says, and you understand the use of "critical analysis" so you can correlate the Bible with archaeology, you quickly determine that the Bible was not handed down directly from God in Heaven to Man on Earth.

99.99999% of it was prepared after a suitible period of thought and analysis by men who sought God.

If you want a hard and fast rule book handed down directly by God to Man, then you ought to spend your time with the Koran and not the Bible.

m,
So, according to your post, either it means whatever you want it to mean. Or it means nothing. Or no one can know what it means. Which do you go by?

"If you want a hard and fast rule book handed down directly by God to Man, then you ought to spend your time with the Koran and not the Bible."

The koran was not handed down by "allah" (A rock) directly to man. Every bit of it is aledged to have come out of Mohammads mouth, via a "angel" who beat him up and scared the crap out of him at first, then after he had mental fits and afterwards "recited" the Koran (and it was always about something to get Mohammad out of a jam). NONE of it was written down at the time. Nor was Arabic even a written language during Mohammads life. It was said that Omar collected all the Koranic sayings which were remembered by followers oraly and then written down long after Mohammads death, but there is not even evidence of that.

The first and only record of Mohammads life and saying was first written by Ishaq 180 years after Mohammad was dead. It's most probable that the first Koran was written from this work, which was then edited by Hisham and Tabari,Who edited some nasty crap out (and they admit it). This is the first and ONLY record of Mohammads life and sayings.

It was further edited and revised by Bukhari and his student,Muslim centuries later.

The Bible on the otherhand, was the inspired word of God giveninto the Prophets, all who could pass the prophetic test, something Mohammad could never do. he was an evil murdering pedophile, not a prophet.
The Koran is full of fables and myths that were around long before Mohammad came along. Being illiterate and not very smart, mohammad didn't know what were jewish fables and local sabian folklore and what was written in the bible and gospel,
so he mistakenly "recited' them into the koran.

The Koran is inspired by Mohammad, or if you insist, a rock named allah, which is the name of "the rock most high" that the pagan arabs called "allah".
