God Said: Let the Water Teem with Swarms of Living Creatures

                                                                                         

This is a new series (1-20) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.
Verse No. 20 in the Old Testament says: And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."
Verse No. 20 in the New Testament says: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Verse No. 20 in the Noble Quran says: and when it is said to them: believe as the people believe they say: shall we believe as the fools believe? now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know

The verse No. 20 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:20
The verse continues talking about the creation of the heavens and the earth, it says: Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens."

After the fourth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth has done, God said: Let the water teem with swarms of living creatures.
Also, God said: let birds fly above the earth in the open and across the expanse of the heavens

The verse No. 20 in the New Testament is Matthew 1:20
The verse continues talking about the Genealogy of Jesus Christ, and Matthew lists Jesus' ancestors, the verse says: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

In articles 18-19, Saint Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant and because he was a righteous and a jut man and unwilling to put her to shame, he did not want to expose her to public disgrace. So, he decided to divorce Saint Mary!
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
On the other hand, the Muslims' faith about Saint Mary, peace be upon her; is that
She lived and died as a "Pure, Untouched, and an Outstanding Virgin Woman". although the Bible insists that she was pledged to be married to Joseph, then she married him and then she had babies from him and then those babies are the brothers of God!

Verse No. 20 in the Noble Quran is Chapter 2:1, Surah Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW), 2:13

Verses 2:8-20 are talking about the hypocrites
Verse 2:8 (See article 15) states that the hypocrites say: 'we believe in Allah and the last day, ' yet they are not believers.
Verse 2:9 (See article 16) says: They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.
Verse 2:10 (See article 17) says: "There is a sickness in their (the hypocrites) hearts which Allah has increased; for them there is a painful punishment because they lie."
Verse 2:11 (See article 18) says: when it is said to them: Do not corrupt in the land; they (the hypocrites) say: we are only reformers.
Verse 2:12 (See article 19) says: are not they indeed the mischief-makers? but they perceive not.
The verse 2:13 continues talking about the hypocrites; and says: and when it is said to them: believe as the people believe they say: shall we believe as the fools believe? now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know

The meaning of verse 2:13

When it is said to them, ‘Believe as the people believe’, that is, as the Companions of the Prophet, They say, ‘Shall we believe as fools believe?’, that is, as the stupid and ignorant do? No we do not follow their way. The exalted One, Allah, refutes them, saying: Truly, they are the foolish ones, they are the stupid and ignorant but they do not know.
