Christian/Muslim ThreadsQuran - Red Letter EditionWhich of these 2 are supported by their own Scriptures?
1) Muslims
The Quran is considered to be God's very words. In general Muslims believe that the angel Gabriel, heard God's words and then repeated them to Muhammad. Muhammad than spoke what Gabriel told him as the Quran. The Quran was completely written down sometime after Muhammad's death.
2) Christians
Christians believe the entire Bible was written by a group of human authors who was under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
2 Timothy 3:16: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (KJV).
2 Peter 1:20-21: "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (KJV)"

Matthew Chapter 4
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Sura YUNUS (JONAH) 10
82 Allah verifies the truth by His Words, even though the sinners hate it.
83 So none believed Moses except a few of his nation because they feared that Pharaoh and their Council would persecute them. Pharaoh was mighty in the land, and one of the evildoers.
84 Moses said: 'O my nation, if you believe in Allah, put your trust in Him, if you have surrendered (Muslims).'
85 They said: 'We have put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, do not let us be a temptation to the harm-doing nation.
86 Save us, through Your Mercy, from the unbelieving nation.'
87 We revealed to Moses and his brother: 'Take certain houses for your people in Egypt. Make your houses a direction (for pray); establish the prayer; and give glad tidings to the believers.'
88 'Our Lord,' supplicated Moses. 'You have given Pharaoh and his Council adornments and possessions in this life. Our Lord, let them go astray from Your Path. Our Lord, destroy their possessions and harden their hearts so that they shall not believe until they see the painful punishment.
89 He (Allah) said: 'Your supplication is answered; so go straight and do not follow the way of those who do not know.'
So lets break these 2 down a little but futher.
