Here is a comparison and you pick your choice:
Does God Rest?
Bible:
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exodus 31:17
Quran: 050.038
We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us.
Gods Power:
Bible:
Genesis 32:28
28 And He said, �Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, AND HAVE PREVAILED.�
"And the Lord was with Judah, and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain, but COULD NOT drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had Chariots OF IRON." JUDGES 1:19
Quran:022.074
They measure not Allah His rightful measure. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty.
Can God Be Seen:
"It is because I saw God face to face and yet my life was spared." (Genesis 32:30)
contradicted by: "But He (God) said: "You cannot see my face for no one may see me and live." (Exodus 33:20)
Quran:
No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. (6:103)
Does God Sleep:
Bible:
(Psalms 78:65)
65 Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
Quran:(2:255)
Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).
In the Bible God married Jerusalem and she became a prostitute:
Ezekiel 16:3-32
Quran:
And to warn those (Jews, Christians, and pagans) who say: "Allah has begotten a son." No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. Grievous is the word that comes out of their mouths. They utter nothing but a lie. Perhaps you would kill yourself (O Mohammed) in grief, over their footsteps (for their turning away from you), because not in this narration (the Quran).
(18:4-6)
002.116
They say: "Allah hath begotten a son" :Glory be to Him.-Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him.
To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be," and it is.
Prophet Lot:
Bible:
That night they got their father to drink wine (Lot), and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.. So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. (genesis 19:33-36)
Quran: 021.074
And to Lut, too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practised abominations: truly they were a people given to Evil, a rebellious people.
And We admitted him to Our Mercy: for he was one of the Righteous.
Jesus's behavior towards Marry, peace be upon them:
Bible:
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE ? mine hour is not yet come.
"Who is my mother" (Matthew 12:47-49)
(can you imagine if a son tells his mother that what her reaction would be? A heart attack would be the least)
Quran: 019.030
He said (Jesus) : "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;
"And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
"(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable"
(btw this is Jesus's first miracle in the Quran. It is a miracle which isnt in the Bible. This verse was him speaking as a newly born, he was born, and when the people asked who his father was, he replied and said the verse I quoted, Jesus's first miracle in the bible was turning water into wine, his first miracle in the Quran was to defend his mother)
Comparison of Biblical and Quranic Styles:
Bible:
18 She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness.
Then I alienated Myself from her,
As I had alienated Myself from her sister.
19 � Yet she multiplied her harlotry
In calling to remembrance the days of her youth,
When she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 For she lusted for her paramours,
Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,
And whose issue is like the issue of horses.
(Ezekiel 23:1-20)
(in the book im reading it uses a version which says :
whos genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission (sperm) was like that of hourses)
The Quranic style:
041.15-18
Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!
So We sent against them a furious Wind through days of disaster, that We might give them a taste of a Penalty of humiliation in this life; but the Penalty of a Hereafter will be more humiliating still: and they will find no help.
As to the Thamud, We gave them Guidance, but they preferred blindness (of heart) to Guidance: so the stunning Punishment of humiliation seized them, because of what they had earned.
But We delivered those who believed and practised righteousness.
(now please compare these two styles and tell me, can the biblical be of God and the Quran of man or the opposite? You see we are embaraced to read that verse of donkeys in public, than how can we say that God uttered these words? Are we hollier than God? Of course we arent).
More examples:
Brother rapes and commits incest with his sister (a) Howbeit he (Amnon, one of the sons of David) would not hearken unto her this sister Tamar's voice: but, being stronger than she, forced (raped) her, and LAY (had sex) with her." 2 SAMUEL 13:14 Son commits incest and rapes his mothers wholesale! (b) "So they spread Absalom (another of the sons of David) a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom WENT IN (had intercourse) unto his father's concubines (same as "wives", see KETURAH in the index) in the sight of ISRAEL" 2 SAMUEL 16:22
You see even if that happened, God in his infinite wisdom, why would he tell us this story? Whats the use? Whats the relevance? None, just embaracment.
