In the Bible versus the Quran: Dust shall be the Serpent's Food
The Lion is mentioned in the Bible 119 times, 110 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament.
The Lion is not mentioned in the Noble Quran; however, wild beasts (wild animals) is mentioned once.
In the Bible, Isaiah 11:7 and 65:25 say that the lion will eat straw like the ox and dust will be the serpent's food.
In the Quran, verse 5:3 says that: Forbidden to you are: 1) carrion, blood and swine, 2) what has been hallowed to other than Allah and 3) what beasts of prey have devoured.

Chapter 5: AL-MAEDA (THE TABLE)
Verse 5:3 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
QARIB: you are forbidden (to consume) the dead, blood and the flesh of swine; also flesh dedicated to any other than Allah, the flesh of strangled (animals) and of those beaten, that which is killed by falling, gored to death, mangled by beasts of prey, unless you find it (still alive) and slaughter it; also of animals sacrificed on stones (to idols). (you are forbidden) to seek division by the arrows, that is debauchery. those who disbelieve have this day despaired of your religion. do not fear them, but fear me. this day i have perfected your religion for you and completed my favor to you. i have approved Islam to be your religion. (as for) he who does not intend to commit a sin but is constrained by hunger to eat of what is forbidden, then surely Allah is forgiving, merciful.
SHAKIR: forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that on which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, and the strangled (animal) and that beaten to death, and that killed by a fall and that killed by being smitten with the horn, and that which wild beasts have eaten, except what you slaughter, and what is sacrificed on stones set up (for idols) and that you divide by the arrows; that is a transgression. this day have those who disbelieve despaired of your religion, so fear them not, and fear me. this day have i perfected for you your religion and completed my favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelled by hunger, not inclining willfully to sin, then surely Allah is forgiving, merciful.
PICKTHAL: forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swineflesh, and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of) horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto idols. and (forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. this is an abomination. this day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear me! this day have i perfected your religion for you and completed my favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam. whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is forgiving, merciful.
YUSUFALI: forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. this day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear me. this day have i perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. but if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed oft-forgiving, most merciful.

The meaning of the verse:
Forbidden to you is carrion, that is, the consumption of it, and blood, that is, what has been spilt and the flesh of swine,
And what has been hallowed to other than Allah, in that it was sacrificed in the name of something other than Him, and the beast strangled, to death,
And the beast beaten down, to death,
And the beast fallen, from a height to its death,
And the beast gored, to death by another,
And what beasts of prey have devoured, of such animals except for what you have sacrificed duly, catching it while it still breathes life and then sacrificing it
And what has been sacrificed in, the name of, idols
And that you apportion, that is, that you demand an oath or a ruling, through the divining of arrows. There were seven of these [arrows], [marked] with flags, and they were retained by the keeper of the Kaaba. They would use them for arbitrations and when they commanded them they obeyed, and if they prohibited them they would desist; that is wickedness, a rebellion against obedience. And on the Day of ‘Arafat' in the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the following was revealed: Today the disbelievers have despaired of your religion, of you apostatizing from it, having hoped for it [earlier], for now they perceived its strength; therefore do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your religion for you, that is, its rulings and obligations
(After this verse, nothing about what is lawful or unlawful was revealed).
And I have completed My favor upon you, by perfecting it [your religion], but it is also said by effecting their safe entry into Mecca; and I have approved, chosen, Islam for you as religion.
But whoever is constrained by emptiness, by hunger, to consume some of what has been forbidden him and consumes it, not inclining purposely to sin, to an act of disobedience;
then Allah is Forgiving, to him for what he has consumed, Merciful, to him by permitting it to him, in contrast to the one who [purposely] inclines to sin, that is, the one actively engaged in it, such as a way layer or a criminal, for whom such consumption is forbidden.

Within this psalm we can see that David was freed to approach the Lord with a lack of distress after his deliverance. Although he was freed to love, there was no guarantee that he would actually do this, it was still a matter of freedom. But his new chance, did now involve this chance to love freely once again.

The walk with the Lord will at times show and bring out the unbelievable.
The Bible is filled with God's promises for you. The question is, when will you see His promises manifest themselves in your own personal life? When can you expect God's promises and blessings to show up at your doorstep?

For many years in my life I just could not accept that God, by His grace, mercy and goodness had forgiven all of my sins. There was always this dark cloud of my past sins hanging over my head. I begged for His forgiveness for the same sins over and over again. As a result I lived for many years in bondage. In this article I want to show you from God’s word how to end this circle of condemnation.
Christians are told how important it is to continually follow Jesus. We are to follow Him closely enough that others will see Jesus in us. It takes courage to follow Him, but it takes more courage to ask Him to follow us.
Adultery is violation of the marriage bed; it is the voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse. However, four Biblical Versions translate "foreign woman" to "adulteress", "woman who commits adultery" and "adulterous woman". The term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein in the entire Quran.
Eighteen different Biblical versions give many varied and wrong translations when translating " foreign woman" and " the stranger who flatters with her words" In the entire Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc.
Pagan is an irreligious, uncultured, uncivilized or hedonistic person. Also, pagan is an unconverted individual of a people that do not acknowledge the God of the Bible. However, some Biblical versions translate "foreign woman" to "Pagan woman". In the entire Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc.
A Study of 18 different Biblical versions reveals that they could not translate this phrase correctly:" we had betrayed our God and we have taken strange women of the peoples of the land". On the other hand, the term "strange woman" is not mentioned therein in the whole Quran; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities.
How do the many Biblical versions translate "the peoples of the land" mentioned in the verse of Ezra 10:2; seven out of 18 Biblical versions translate it correctly, however, the strangest translation was in two Biblical versions that translate it to "pagan women of the land". According to the original Hebrew verse, "pagan women" is not the Word of God.
Only four out of 18 Biblical versions translate we have taken correctly; while 13 versions translate we have taken to we have married or by marrying (in six and seven versions respectively). One version translates it to "we settle". Literally, "we have taken" is quite different from "we have married".
In Hebrew, the word pronounced as "No-kh-re-yoat" is the plural of the English word "stranger". Also, the word pronounced as "Za-roat" is the plural of the English word "Foreign". Both "No-kh-re-yoat" and "Za-roat" are used in the Hebrew version when talking about the stranger women and the foreign women respectively.
Eighteen Biblical versions could not translate 12 simple Hebrew words correctly; also, in two Biblical versions "strange women" is translated to "pagan women". In the entire Quran, the term "strange woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc.
