1 | Same Bible? | Gen 21:18 | mark d seyler | 144523 | ||
Hi Seedling, Arabians, in Acts 2:11, heard the disciples proclaiming the works of God, speaking in the Arabian's own language, among other languages. One of the translations of the Bible was to Aramaic, completed sometime between 150 and 400(?) A.D. There are a couple of versions of this Aramaic, the Syriac, the Peshitta, these are prob. the most widely accepted. I have been examining the Peshitta recently, and have found my English traslation of it to read very much like my King James. I understand this Bible has been used by Arabian Christians from these early times, and so yes, they do have the Bible, and have had it. To be clear, the Koran does not by any stretch of the imagination compare to the Bible. The Koran does not describe the God Who is the Creator of all. The Koran has no greater significance than any other pseudo-religious writing. Islam is a false religion, and is nothing like Christianity. I do not wish to take much time of this forum, which is for the study of the Bible, the to talk about the Koran. You can email me if you wish (see my profile) for more information. Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark Thanks for the information. You're right,this forum is not the place to study the Koran. I thought the conflict in mid-east might be related some way to the Hagar and Sarah story... If it was I could pray about the peace in Jerusalem better,as it says in the bible we should do. The Bible is very interesting and fascinating book. I learn new things by reading it daily-or at least trying to. Seedling |

Hi Seedling, I think the mid-east conflict is related to Hagar and Sarah. Consider the following passage, as the Angel of the LORD speaks to Hagar about her baby: Genesis 16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. 10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. God bless you!!! Love in Christ, Mark |
