Endlessly fascinating these stories/traditions- how they originate, survive, evolve/diverge and their effect on the modern world

The words in Quran were revealed to Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in a cave on a hill. He did not know the stories about Moses (PBUH) or Abraham (PBUH) or Jesus (PBUH) until the revelation. This fascinated the other catholic kings of those times as how a layman could know such things about Christianity.

PBUH - Peace be upon him.

Huh? The leader of Egypt is called king many times in the Bible. What a strange argument you’re trying to make

Genesis 39 states the leader as King.

KJV is a translation of the Bible. I’m still confused on what you’re arguing here. That the word pharaoh didn’t exist when Joseph was around?

Sure and God told him to marry his own cousin that was his own adopted son wife... idk if that's peak morality for billions to follow tbh

I mean, those things could have been hidden if only we had many versions of the books. You know, change the narrative as how it suits globally. But that would invalidate the whole book’s authenticity won’t it? I’ll just leave this here. Changing things as we wish, it’s a joke is it?

Still waiting for you to list the versions mate

Hmm, would you mind listing the versions you speak of?

Mind you, there is nothing to corrobate this claim beyond the quran itself.

Surely that's true of all religious texts? They refer to events and peoples so long ago that thre's rarely any actual historical relevance.

My point is more that their comment adds nothing to the current discussion.
