But this is not the case. <br /><br />Instead it is likely that, as Islam contends, Muhammad could not read. Thus he received his knowledge of the Bible from traders and others who were also rather Biblically illiterate, and so he thought that he was consistent with the Bible, and actually thought that the Christian Trinity was God, Jesus and Mary, which is not hard to imagine in the light of the Catholic exaltation of her.peacebyjesus.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393801315646471980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-46170458042721453092012-02-12T11:08:33.629-05:002012-02-12T11:08:33.629-05:00This is only a month old, but it is rather recent...This is only a month old, but it is rather recent for me who sometimes comments to blog posts much older. <br /><br />I just wanted to say that like the rest of the Biblical mss, including the ones which antedate the Qur'an by hundreds of years, i am sure that this also substantiates the Islamic <a href="http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/JESUS.Vs.Muhammad.html" rel="nofollow">contradictions </a> of the Bible that we now hold. /sacrpeacebyjesus.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393801315646471980noreply@blogger.com
