Is there an Islamic response to John 3?

Salam,

"God gave me a brain to reason and ask questions." 

StephenC, this is an important part of Islam.  God tells us to use our logic and reason to study all religions and to decide which one is the true religion.  Although I believe Islam is the truth, based on my research of Islam, that does not mean that my search should end.  As a creation of the Lord Almighty, it is my duty to learn all religions, that teach that there is only One God, and to decide which one is right.   The truth should not be confusing or contradictory in any way.  People must realize that God Almighty is not one of Us and is intelligent beyond our comprehension.  I am sure that He made sure that it would not be hard for us to realize the truth when we find it.  Do not base your opinions of any religion, including Islam, on what you hear from people or see on tv.  Take the time to read the holy books and any scriptures that may help explain the religion more.  In this case, for you to really understand Islam and know what it teaches, try to get a hold of a Qur'an and some Hadiths (tell about the life of the Prophet [pbuh]) and then you can have an opinion.  Please, for your own sake, do not listen to what people say because each person has their own interpretation and it would not be fair to you to accept what another person believes...it is your duty.

It is okay to ask questions but don't just believe the answers just because a muslim said it...they could be wrong for all you know.  I say this based on my own experience.  When i researched Islam, i got a whole different perspective than i had from asking questions.

You are absolutely correct on all accounts!  Thank you for your insight and wisdom.

Stephen,

Perhaps, you wanted to say,"I am here to understand Islam."

Regarding the committe of Uthman, most of the members were quite a number of Sahabaas, scribes, Ali, Zaid and many others. All knew Qur'aan well.

Uthman and company simply made sure that no undesired material was added to Qur'aan. Uthman did not re-write Qur'aan. If they had not done that, Qur'aan would have been turned into something like the Bible with narrations of various people exceeding the words of God. That is why all the Hadith material was kept out and separate.

The company or the committee knew well what had happened to the Holy Scriptures of the past.
