Koran

Though there are many similarities between the Bible and the koran i found the koran a lot harder to understand and follow. I also feel like the Bible is much more reliable for many reasons, such as when it was written and because it jumps around less. The Bible also it isn't based off of one person we have to trust who had no witnesses, unlike Jesus who had witnesses when He was resurrected and throughout his whole life.

I thought studying the koran was very beneficial, I realized how good and helpful it is to know what other religions believe. This is partly so I can understand them better and also so I don't get sucked into their religion or other religions because they are able to put up a better fight defending their god. By studying the koran I have learned that I really need to be prepared to fight back and find the truth in Christianity so I am fully on board. I felt like this study was also good so I understand why other people believe what they do and so I understand them better. I feel like now even with just reading a small portion of the koran if I was to have a conversation with an Islamic person I would be able to find the faults in their religion and what they were saying and compare them to similar things in Christianity that seem more correct and concrete. All in all I feel like the past week's studies have been extremely helpful and eye opening.
