In another thread, it was asked how the eyewitness accounts in the bible were more "valid" than similar content in other religious texts.
​
What is the criteria that we should (or do) use to make an assumption of validity?
​
quote:
Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt. It befits not Allh that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decrees a thing, He says unto it only: ‘Be!’ and it is. (Maryam 19:34-35)
​
quote:
" truly the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight is as Adam's likeness; He created him of dust, then He said upon him, 'Be' and he was. (Al-Imran 3:59)
​
How would we decide if those accounts from the Koran are less valid than the accounts presented in the bible?

Check things like spelling and quotes, could you please?

Unless you meant "check spelling IN Quotes" I'm not sure what you are pointing towards.

Yup. In the quotes. I think you have an extra word stuck in the myriam quote. I'd hate to get this up since I think it's a great topic) and then see it get bogged down over trivialities.

How does look? (I've added the previous sentence to the first quote).

I'll move the OP into Faith&Belief.
