Anyways, I feel like we moving away from the purpose of this thread. I was clarifying my statement.

What the Qu'ran says is what the new and old testament said.
What Islam teaches is that the word of God new and old testament were corrupted by men and that the word of God needed to be renewed.
Mohammed was the last prophet to bring back the original word. So the story goes.
Revelation 10
8 The voice which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. It said, “Take the opened scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9 I went to the angel and asked him to give me the small scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will be bitter in your stomach, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
10 I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, it was bitter in my stomach. 11 The seven thunders told me, “Again you must speak what God has revealed in front of many people, nations, languages, and kings.”

You have mistaken my reply for insult. By showing your bias and condescension to the thread, you have nullified the value you may have gained by taking the seed into your own soil. The verse you quoted, which was the one I indeed referred to, is a parallel to the parable of the sower. The parable of the sower compares the one how listens to the one how hears. Reception of seed is through the senses into the heart. Your heart simply stated its condition as you have clearly disregarded the thread content and supplanted your own pretext. I have provided context. Your pretext blinds your eyes and ears from listening to what is said.
This website has the prime directive of denying ignorance. The main part of that word ignorance is ignoring truth. Am I saying that I hold the ultimate truth. No. All perspectives are valuable if they are seeking truth rather than deny it. Ignorance comes from denying the possibility.
Deny ignorance by examining all truth you can find. The only valuable way to deny my words, if they are untrue, is to show a higher axiom. Your opinion of me is not a context. It's a pretext.

Why do you keep posting these stupid threads a reply to: AlephBet
Although I absolutely admire your explanation and conclusions about the muqatta'at, is there any way for you to reconcile your presentation with the following chapter of the Qur'an?
Say, He is Allah; One.
Allah, the Eternal, the Absolute.
He begets not, nor was He begotten,
And there is none co-equal or comparable to Him.
Qur'an 112
Thanks again for an awesome perspective! Peace.

This is what Islam teaches but not what the Quran says.
The Quran says we are waiting for an interpretation of the OT and NT and that this interpretation should clarify even the Quran. When the interpretation comes the OT, NT, and the Quran will fit together like a puzzle. And all will see Mohammed was a prophet who spoke the truth.
The dead sea scrolls prove the original message is what we have today in both the OT and NT. So we should conclude that it is only interpretation that will bring enlightenment to the 3 religions and bring them together as one.
