Understanding The Bible and The Quran

The Bible and The Quran speak only about our internal qualities. They talk about how our internal qualities will change from selfishness to bestowal and how once we're in the quality of bestowal, we'll grow from childhood to adulthood.

When The Bible and The Quran are interpreted literally, there are many contradictions. However, if they're interpreted in the right way - in the language of our internal qualities - all contradictions disappear.

For example, if I say, "He was 7", then later I say, "He was 30", this appears to be a contradiction. Yet, if we understand that a boy develops from childhood to adulthood, we see that it's talking about two different ages - age 7 and age 30. The contradiction disappears and what's revealed is information about the boy's state of development. This is also true about information presented in The Bible and The Quran as they explain the development of our internal qualities.

Another example is if I say, "The joint bends forward", then later I say, "The joint bends backwards", this appears to be a contradiction. Yet if we understand that an elbow joint bends forward and a knee joint bends backwards, we see that it's talking about two different joints in one body. The contradiction disappears and what's revealed is information about the body. This is also true about information presented in The Bible and The Quran as they explain the development of our internal qualities.
