No one is likely to dispute that religions profoundly affect our lives in innumerable ways, . Disagreements emerge, however, when we attempt to evaluate those effects, and when we attempt to determine religion's proper place in our lives, in our society, and in our troubled world. As we all know, responsible judgments in regard to these complicated matters, though fundamentally important, are difficult to formulate and defend. In fact, even purely personal decisions about religion are not always easy. So, during normal times, many of us choose to live our lives without ever seriously considering some of religion's more complex issues. This limited outlook, however, is beginning to seem less appropriate given today's world ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? some aspects of religion's role in current events truly are disturbing.

Can Comparative Religion Be Fair? Peace be upon you brothers and sisters, Loving Humanity, Empathy for our Afterlife, Dueling with deceit, are just a few of the reasons one may have Passion for Comparative Religion. Comparing Scriptures with Rabbis, Priests, Preachers, Presidents of Evangelist Colleges for decades, you come to the realization that Comparative Religion Appears Fair, but is Far from having Equivalent Language and Time Requirements. The Three Abrahamic Religions: [Judaism, Christianity, and Islam], are not Linguistically Equal. The Language Requirements of Christianity are Absolutely Unique to Judaism and Islam. Christianity has Relaxed Requirements in Respects to Language. Bibles are Accepted in All Languages as the exact Authentic words of God. Compared to Judaism and Islam who have the Rigorous Requirement that Scripture is only Authentic in the Original Language. The linguistic inequality is unfair to Christianity because the Gospel was not Preserved in its original language (Aramaic) and we only have the translated Greek. Early Greek Christians had a business mentality towards Religion, Removing nearly every Requirement to join Christianity, except 10% of our income (Tithes). The Greek business approach to religion didn’t Foresee the Consequences of not maintaining Requirements set by God. Instead, Christianity was offered as an Easy Religion: 1) No Requirements to Learn a new language to Read - Hear the Exact words of God, instead, any & Every language was anointed and accepted as authentic 2) No Requirements to follow the Laws of Moses, All sins are forgiven if you accept someone else died for you 3) Holidays such as Christmas & Easter are researched and focused on and Multiple Christmas songs memorized more than any page in the Bible. 4) Jesus was redesigned to resemble the Greeks more than the Hebrews and his original language - words requiring works in Aramaic were destroyed and only the Greek Gospels remain. Changing Christianity into an Easy religion to have Mass appeal has expanded Christianity to be the Largest Religion, but all calculations and censuses forecast more Muslims than Christians by 2075 – If we calculate Either Catholics or Protestants, then Islam is already the largest religion compared to each, proving being Easier does not Prevail being Truthful. Removing the original Language Requirement is the same as Removing the Requirement to be Authentic, giving Christianity a disadvantage when being compared to Judaism and Islam. For example: On average, every 50 years, a different English Bible with a different name, different words, from a different Church is Published and accepted by divisions of Christians as the exact words of God. Christians Relaxing the language and law requirements Worldwide has spawned unlimited Bibles in different languages conflicting with each other because languages can’t be perfectly translated, forming hundreds of errors, hundreds of Christian sects, corruption, scandal and closures in many Churches. Comparative Religion is not fair because Christians have an Ocean of Bible – translations - multiplying the cannons for the critics of Christianity to list grammatical, copyist, and translation errors from 40+ times more content compared to Judaism or Islam. For Example, “The King James Bible” may have its own hundreds of Bible mysteries – anomalies - etc.., then the opponent of Christianity can find dozens of more errors in the “Good News Bible”, “New International Bible”, “New Revised Standard Bible”, etc.. Just in English, there are 40+ differing Bibles, each with their own issues, because all of them are considered authentic, we can add all the Hundreds of Errors from all 40+ Bibles, giving an unfair advantage to any Jew or Muslim questioning a Christian. Because Christians forfeit the requirement of one Authentic language to Read and Hear Scripture Exactly as said from God, Christians also surrender being able to say the Bibles are anything other than “translations”. All Translations – Translators - humans make errors, therefore even if each English Bible only had 1 single error, a rival of Christianity can add all 40+ Bibles to contend with Christianity or even worse, avoid our Creator Christians will never win a Religious debate because of the Bible weakness of Language. The original language (Aramaic) of their deity (Jesus) is extinct, instead their translations are based on Greek and German into English, shifting the entire meaning of Jesus from the Hebrew Moses to Greek Zeus. The second reason the language requirement makes comparative religion unfair for Christians when debating Jews or Muslims is because of Hebrew or Arabic to English Dictionaries. If a Christian Questions an anomaly in a English translation of the Torah or Quran, a Jew or Muslim can simply Show from Any Hebrew or Arabic to English dictionary any one of the dual meanings of any words in question, thus giving Jews and Muslims Unlimited Correct and Verifiable Answers. Christians neither have an Original Aramaic to English dictionary or the Aramaic verses to try to defend mistranslated Greek to German to English Bible words and furthermore, Christians are sold the English Bible as the exact words of God. Admitting the English Bible is mistranslated and to try to extract a Greek root word is why it’s not fair comparing Scriptures because Christians instantly admit and even put it in writing in nearly every Bible commentary that the English Bible has translation/copyist/grammatical errors. In summary, Christians removing the one language requirement and also removing the original language - opens Christianity to a growing number of skeptics towards the English Bible that just by defending it with the Greek root admits the English Bible is not Devine. Keeping the Language Requirements Shields Jews and Muslims from translation critiques because only the Hebrew or Arabic are Accepted as Authentic, not the translations. Additionally, Jews and Muslims have an unlimited amount of translation dictionaries to defend Torah or Quran English mistranslations unlike the Christians. For Jews and Muslims, the English Translations of the Torah and Quran are only tools to Understand the Original Holy Scriptures. The English translations are not considered Holy as in Christianity. God Saved the Christian Bible by Sending the Holy Quran in Arabic 632 Ad, just 300 years after the Aramaic Bibles were destroyed by the Greek Christian council in 325 Ad, nearly 300 years after Jesus. The Holy Quran in Arabic is a relative language to the Middle Eastern Aramaic and has been accepted worldwide by more than a Billion followers and for hundreds of miles in any direction where Jesus was born and preached in Aramaic, we have converted to Islam and pray in Arabic, continuing the Authentic Abrahamic Faith. Jewish Scripture is also not fair for Muslims to compare because unlike the disadvantages of Language in Christianity, Jews have the Disadvantages of Time: 1) Time Verses Nature - Very Devout Generations of Jews have Preserved Scriptures for Centuries, Copying Hundreds of Scrolls for Hundreds of years using candles, bird feathers, crossing Seas (Exodus 14:21) Being Lost in the Wilderness for 40 years (Numbers 14:20:22), Multiple Genocides and Battles, Israelites in the Bible have been attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, besieged 23 times, and destroyed twice, Effecting the quality of Jewish Scripture during 6,000 years. For Example: The Horrible Nazi Holocaust that killed millions of Jews was less than 100 years ago and had a major impact on Jewish artifacts, some belongings from 1933 are still being probed. How Fair would it be to compare Jewish documents that suffered nearly 60 Multitudes of Holocausts during 6,000 years, averaging one Holocaust nearly every 100 years according to Bible statistics Compared to the Holy Quran that was written and preserved within 20 years with zero Holocausts? 2) Time Verses Temptation - Jewish Scribes had the Massive Responsibility of passing and teaching the Torah to their children and Community for hundreds of years. Tolkien wrote about Hobbits in “Lord of the Rings” having a similar wrenching struggle to resist putting a human touch on the Devine, graphically displaying the Pressure to Resist the Temptation of Power. The discipline to Keep God great and humans humble in Jewish Scripture For Centuries was perhaps unbearable to some Jewish Rabbis, some even confessed their deceit (Jeremiah 8:8) Jewish Scribes Endured Resisting power for centuries more than Any Religion, Rome & Riyadh both have many billionaires who benefit from being in vicinity to religious capitals, the Jews struggled with greed for twice as long as Christianity and Islam combined. The Battle of shifting power and resources from the people to the Pope, from Prophets to rabbis, from Muslims to monarchs is a timeless struggle that Jews & the Torah has had to endure longer than any other religions 3) Time Verses Science – Jewish scribes had the disadvantage of writing scripture during a time of minimal Scientific understanding or discovery. Contending with both what their eyes could see and believe and risking deadly persecution by fire or decapitation if the Jewish scribes crossed established societal scientific norms thousands of years ago such as: The Earth being the center of the universe (Psalms 96:10), the Earth being Flat (Isaiah 11:12), the Sun and Moon being equal lights, each turning on depending on the time of day (Genesis 1:16), just to list a few. Thus, Comparative Religion is not fair, Debating Jews and Christians is not fair, the Debates may seem fair because the Jews and Christians usually speak better English, they Usually look like Harvard Professors compared to the average Muslim looking foreign, and many people are swayed by appearance and phonics, thus the debates seem somewhat fair but decades later, you realize they are anything but fair. So what do we do other than debate? We Teach, Teach Jews and Christians how the

This book helps us resolve some of the mysteries and contradictions that evolved during the Bible's pre-written legacy and that persist in the Great Book today. Most biblical scholars acknowledge that both the Old and New Testaments were orally transmitted for decades before appearing in written form. With great reverence for the Bible, Dundes offers a new and exciting way to understand its variant texts. He uses the analytical framework of folklore to unearth and contrast the multiple versions of nearly every major biblical event, including the creation of woman, the flood, the ten commandments (there were once as many as eleven or twelve), the names of the twelve tribes, the naming of the disciples, the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord's Prayer, and the words inscribed on the Cross, among many others.

Love in the Quran is bountiful for the Bible followers. Love is provided to the Bible on assorted levels, from narrations on Adam to Jesus Christ. Love brings people together. In a beautiful and melodious method, the Quran also brings harmony between Jews and Christians. Enjoining the scriptures into one, the Quran mediates, reconciles, and unites. Love comes from mutual understanding and coherent communication. The Quran preserved in its original language and version for nearly 1,400 years, has been a clear untainted light of guidance, removing immoral laws and dispelling evil traditions. Numerous curses and questionable killings have been lifted and revealed. According to the Bible, at the final moments of Jesus Christ, despite repeated pleas by the Messiah, God had forsaken Jesus, abandoning Jesus at his time of need: “At about three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46) Upon a closer examination, we discover that God throughout the Bible has forsaken humans, while the Quran clarifies the Bible accounts to show how God loves humans, thus providing love to the Bible. While God does forsake evil doers, it is all too evident in the Bible that the righteous are also forsaken. This study will show the ways the Bible forsakes humans compared to the relevant verses in the Quran on how humans are loved.
