Hm. Perhaps you mean the Koran, aka Qur'an?

Well, it seems reasonable to suppose that Clara did mean to say "Koran"; so, until Clara says otherwise, her comment will be answered on that basis. As to the Koran, the contents of the Koran are neither completely true nor completely false. Ditto for the contents of the Bible (Old plus New Testaments) and the Book of Mormon. The only advantage that the latter three have over the Koran is that a way to remove the chaff was provided in the case of those latter three, whereas it was not likewise provided in the case of the Koran. So the only way now known to remove the chaff from the Koran would be to finish removing the chaff from the latter three, then solve the parallelisms, and then use the solutions to remove the chaff from the Koran.

Haha! Yes, some of the statements in the Bible are laughable. Thanks for giving an example. But laughable is not the criteria for paying attention to it, or ignoring it. The method for knowing what is valid and what is not, is that words are established to be valid if they are in the Bible, and/or the Book of Mormon, by more than one author. For the purpose of this determination, the Book of Mormon is considered to have one author. Hoping that this clarification helps, heretic5.

BTW, if you take a closer read of the new testament you'd see that it really says the Kindom of God is open to all who do not reject the love of god (which is to say all love), whether you believe or not. Many Christians dislike this idea as they believe there should be some reward for their faith that's exclusive to them; however, if their faith is correct then despite their desire to the contrary there is no such exclusive reward awaiting them.

Sometimes, somebody is first to make a discovery. If that happens, then other people have to decide whether to investigate, or to ignore it without investigation. Some people make the right decision; others make the wrong decision. The person who made the discovery is not responsible in either case.
