In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God? (1)

Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God …
————————–

In the Quran, Did Jesus deny that he is God?

Yes He did.

——————————- 

In the Bible, Mark 10:17-18 says:

Jesus was coming out to the road,

A man came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him,

“Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

Jesus said to him:

“Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone“

——————————- 

Now, who believe in this verse?

1-      The Jews? No, they do not believe in Jesus; so, they do not believe in his sayings.

2-      The Christians? No. they do believe that Jesus is God, although Jesus denied that He is not the good one; and No one is good except God alone“

3-      The Muslims? Yes, they do believe as the Quran says that Jesus is a great Prophet and there is no god(s) but One, the Almighty Creator.

——————————-

 No one is good except God alone” was Jesus’ answer in reference to the original Greek verse.

Now, let us see Jesus’ answer in 23 different versions of the Bible:

“No one is good except God alone” is found in seven Bible’s versions

In the other Biblical versions, Jesus answered

Only God is good in three versions

There is none good but one, that is, God in two versions   

No one is good but One, that is, God in two versions

The following Jesus’ answer is found in one version each; it is:

No one [is] good except One – God

None is good save one, even God

No one is good but One—God

No one is good except God

No one is good, only God

Only God is truly good

There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good–except God alone

There is no man good, but God himself.

——————————- 

 

Mark 10:17-18 in New King James Version; that is the most correct translation of the original Greek verse.

17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

——————————- 

 

Now, read Mark 10:17-18 in some other versions of the Bible to see how they add some other words that are not present in the original Greek verse.

[Look at the underlined words].

Amplified Bible

17And as He was setting out on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, Teacher, [You are essentially and perfectly morally] good, what must I do to inherit eternal life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?

18And Jesus said to him, why do you call Me [essentially and perfectly morally] good? There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good–except God alone.

 

Wycliffe New Testament

17 And when Jesus was gone out into the way, a man ran before, and kneeled before him, and prayed him, and said, Good master, what shall I do, that I receive everlasting life?

18 And Jesus said to him, what sayest thou, that I am good? There is no man good, but God himself.

 

New Living Translation

17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good.

Now, we have two big issues or two important claims:

1)      The Biblical scholars claim that the Quran is quoted from the Bible.

2)      The Quran claims that the Bible is corrupted.

What do you believe?

The Flies in Bible vs. Quran-1

The Professor Thought The Bible’s Answer Deserves Full Marks, But…

Hypothetical approach

A professor was preparing his two students, “B” and “Q”, to be eminent teachers of ethics and morality. The professor would like to examine his two students.

The professor put this question for them:

“You are going to be a famous teacher, thus, ‘Give a brief account on the Flies’, with emphasis on the ethical and morality values in your teaching that are important to mankind.’

Student B answered this question in,

§  25 Minutes

§  283 Words    

§  1,173 Characters (with no spaces)

§  1,456 Characters (with spaces)

§  Eight Paragraphs

§  23 Lines

 

Student Q answered this question in,

§  Five Minutes

§  56 Words

§  231 Characters (with no spaces)

§  287 Characters (with spaces)

§  One Paragraph

§  Five Lines

 

The professor thought that student “B” is smarter than student “Q”.

B stands for the Bible

Q stands for the Quran

 

The professor said that “B” had five times more chances than student “Q”. to give more fruitful answer.

Student “B” was five times chances in comparison to student Q, time wise, paragraphs wise, words wise, characters wise and lines wise to give more productive answer.  For this reason, before he reads the two answers of both “B” and “Q”, the professor had a predetermined thought that “B” answer deserves full marks and “Q” answer deserves nothing; nevertheless, upon reading the two answers, the smart fair professor…

 

———————————

In this Hypothetical approach,

You smart reader is the fair professor.

Student B is the Bible, American Standard Version.

Student Q is the Quran, Pickthal translation.

The question again:

“You are going to be a famous teacher, hence, ‘Give a brief account on the Flies’, with emphasis on the ethical and morality values in your teaching that are important to mankind.’

 

————————————-

The Bible answered the question in eight verses.

Ecclesiastes 10:1

1 Dead Flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

Isaiah 7:18

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

Exodus 8:21

21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of Flies upon thee, and upon they servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of Flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

Exodus 8:22

22 And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of Flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the earth.

Exodus 8:24

24 And Jehovah did so; and there came grievous swarms of Flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of Flies.

Exodus 8:29

29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat Jehovah that the swarms of Flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to-morrow: only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.

Exodus 8:31

31 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of Flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

Psalm 105:31

31 He spake, and there came swarms of Flies, and lice in all their borders.

 

———————————

The Quran answered the question in one verse.

Verse 22:73

O mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: lo! Those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought!

———————————

The result of the exam,

Upon reading the two answers,

You smart reader is the fair professor who will give the marks.

———————————

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Biblical Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?
