Same Arguments - No New Truth From the Quran

Greetings again;

We can go around and around on these points until the last breath, and find that if you are not willing to understand that the Holy Bible still stands as the inviolable WORD of Almighty God, you will never understand what the meaning of what I am trying to provide you in terms of a witness. If it is thought (erroneously, by the way) that there are arguments from a Muslim perspective that are going to contravene the Holy Bible (as the Quran does), there will be no acceptable evidence for the Muslim who does not know Jesus Christ from the Holy Bible. So what is the point of your exercises, except if you think I can be swayed from the Truth (not likely-read Peter's answer to Jesus, "to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life), then you are greatly misguided.

Your answer of the supposed preeminence of sharia law has no foundation in history, only in the assertions of those who have supported its cause from the time of the Prophet of the Quran (I refrain from using his given name for the sake of not wanting to offend). On the other hand, there are scientifically dated manuscripts that predate the Quranic writings. And on that basis alone, if there were any evidences that it was the other way around, should we not think that Almighty God would have the power to make sure we knew it? The contrary is shown, that the Holy Bible is the WORD of the LORD, that its integrity remains true now, as it ever has, and the only reason there is the Quran is that its writers did not desire to believe in Jesus Christ in faith by His own words. The contradictions are plain, and there is nothing more that can be said that will change it.

In the final analysis, believing on the LORD Jesus Christ, and His Gospel, of His death, burial, resurrection and ascension into heaven, is the only truth that is necessary to obtain eternal life in His Name. If one desires to make a case for making an argument for the supposed preeminence of the Quran, then understand this: there will be some that will listen here on earth, but one will be pressed against the impossible to make that argument to Jesus Christ when the Quran makes Him out to be a liar. And you will never read that from Paul.
