Knowledge Bible Commentary
Who gave you the Bible ?
Do you think it fell down from the sky, leather-bound and complete with Table of Contents (Canon)?
Did you know there is an Apocalipse of Peter that was read among the first Christians and that in the Councils of Hippo (393 AD) and Cartage (397 AD) St. Augustin argued that the Apocalipse of Jonh and not the one of Peter should be in the Bible and that is how you have it in your Bible now?
Hint: see what Luther said in his Commentary on St. John, chapter 16, “We are compelled to concede to the Papists that they have the Word of God, that we received it from them, and that without them, we should have no knowledge of it at all.”

The poit is... you give authority to the Church to tell you what the Bible is, then you do not accept that the Church can tell you what those books mean. That's a contradiction
The Catholic Church gave the Bible to the world after it defined the canon in 397AD

The Bible and the Qur'an $12.95 In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, worldwide interest in Islam has reached an unprecedented peak. Thousands convert to Islam each year in the US alone, and sales of the Qur'an are very high. What do Christians need to know about the Qur'an? Fr. Jacques Jomier, O.P., has written a scholarly yet readable work that details the profound differences between Christian scripture and the Islamic sacred texts, differences that are too often glossed over by the mainstream media. Topics addressed include: Islamic teaching on Jesus and Mary; the universal mission of the Muslim; Jews, Christians and Islamic law. This book is a necessity for those who wish to understand the highly charged religious elements of the current conflict in the Middle East. ???Jomier carefully presents what the Qur'an teaches about the Hebrew and Christian bible. He contrasts the essential Muslim teachings with the Jewish and Christian understandings of themselves. Jomier is both sympathetic and critical. This is an excellent text in which to understand just what Islam means when it talks of Jewish or Christian sources in the light of its own traditions.??? "James Schall, S.J., Georgetown University Jacques Jomier, O.P. , served for many years as a missionary in the Middle East, gaining a unique inside view of the Muslim world. He was among the first to provide commentary on modern translations of the Qur'an, contributing greatly to the study of Islam. ' |
