Challenge:Several years ago, I passed by a stand with a sign that read "Take
the
Pepsi Challenge". I thought to myself, why not, I have been drinking
Coke all my life, I wonder if I can find out if I still prefer it. Since
the two cups laying on the table had no labels, I could not know which
is which, I tasted each and made my decision. Its a simple choice of
course, and it probably would not make a bit of difference to my life if
I choose Pepsi or Coke. On the other hand, I would have never found out
weather I prefer Pepsi or Coke, without tasting both.
I realize that this comparison is by no means the best, but there is no
way to know which is better, the Bible or the Quran, unless we taste the
words. We don't have to swallow them, just taste and decide whether we
want to swallow or reject. One day a great desire in my heart caused me
to open the Bible and compare it with the Quran, I set them side by side
and started to study. The study lasted many months, as God overwhelmed
me with His truth.
I vowed not to stop until a found out if they are really equal when
weighed side by side on the scientific scale. It was the only way... to
take the Bible Challenge. I have documented all I learned from this
experience, which I am forwarding to you. I urge you to take the Bible
Challenge.
Note: Try to respond to the questions presented here, they all end with
"?" in bold. These are questions directed to you. If you are able to
answer them, then indeed you have faith based on facts. Please send the
answers back to me. I will be waiting patiently for your response.

What's Faith
Regardless to what we believe in, all of us have faith in someone or in
something which dictates the way we live. In our case here, since both
Muslims and Christians believe in eternal destiny (hell or heaven), the
choice one needs to make becomes the most important struggle for truth
and life. If you are afraid to read this, it is perhaps you do not have
a strong knowledge in your faith. You should have no fear if you know
what you believe to be true is true indeed.
On the other hand, one could choose for some reason to ignore this issue
altogether, thinking that it does not matter what one believes, since we
will find out at the end which is true. That is your choice, and no one
including God will force you, but if you were wrong, and end up in
eternal torment, do not blame me. I did my job, I offered you the
challenge.
The "Quran" Challenge to the Judeo?Christian Faith: In Islam as the
Quran states it clearly; "And they say: "None shall enter paradise
unless he be a Jew or a Christian'. Those are their desires. Say: "
produce your (Evidence) if you are really truthful'". (Al?Baqara:11).
The "Bible" Challenge: "Present your case, says the Lord. Bring forth
your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob. Let them bring forth and
show us what will happen; Let them show us the former things, what they
were, That we may consider them, And know the latter end of them; Or
declare to us the things to come. Show the things that are to come
hereafter, That we may know that you are gods; Yes, do good or do evil,
That we may be dismayed and see it together. Indeed you are nothing, And
your work is nothing; He who chooses you is an abomination." (Isaiah
41:21?24).
So, for that challenge which was ordered by both books, and since both
encourage us to produce "proof", or evidence to each claim, I will
respond to answer each challenge. As Christians need to be in obedience
to God, they are required to respond, and fulfill the commission, to
defend the faith, to fight the battle, the real war for souls, not by
the Sword but by the Word.
We are ordered by God to produce evidence, and witness to those lost in
darkness, to the world that we seek for Christ. As the Bible said: "In
your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an
answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you
have." (1 Peter 3:15).
In the Old Testament, God encourages debate and challenge; "Come now,
let us reason together, says the Lord" Isaiah 1:18a.
Both challenges assure us, that there is no need to pick up stones and
fight, no need for anger or fits of rage. Just let us reason together,
and prove with evidence each his claim.
The Bible claims that the true Christian faith is the only way to God,
while Islam's Quran says its the other way around. I have seen many
debates concerning this issue, and the problem with these debates is
that no side was able to fully express their opinion. The time element
was always a factor, and the heated arguments would always upset Muslims
as they were too quick to throw shouts of "Allahu Akbar' (God is great).
We need to see how God is great and not just shouting it. We need
patience by avoiding quick judgments.
