The Scripture II

"And We caused Jesus, the son of Mary, to follow in the footsteps of those (earlier prophets), confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah; and We vouchsafed unto him the Gospel, wherein there was guidance and light (Noor), confirming the truth of whatever still remained of the Torah and as a guidance and admonition unto the God-conscious." ChapterV, verse 46 of the Qur'an.
There is clear evidence of the previous two Books revealed to people for the same purpose.
As Injeel was "confirming" whatever was in the Torah, likewise, the Qur'an is confirming whatever was in Injeel/Gospel and in Taurat/Torah.
The Author of all these Scriptures is the same God and what He wants is the same from the people to whom he reveales these instructions (Guidance and Light). Instead of following the truth the people whatever they call themselves, Christians or Jews or Muslims, they fight with eachother and between themselves, each one of them believing they are "on the right".
Should't we try to understand the spirit of the Scripture?

EACH BREATH THAT ONE TAKES IS A STEP TOWARD ONE"S DESTINY (Ali IBn-Abi Taalib RA)
