Did you notice how he says about a hundred times in the Quran how non believers will face a fiery doom?
Sure, the Koran says that non-believers will face a fiery doom. But that's also exactly what the Jesus character said in John 15:6. (NLT) = "Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned."
The Koran might use harsher language but it says the same thing as that.

The books of the Bible might have been written much earlier but they were not compiled into a single book until the English did it as a gift to the Pope. Some say that Jerome did it much earlier but that's just to make the myth more believable.Wrong on all accounts.
http://codexsinaiticus.org
Written over 1,600 years ago, it contains the complete New Testament and about half of the Old Testament and Apocrypha (from the Septuagint).
This is 2015. Sixteen hundred (1600) years ago would be around 400 AD. The Koran was written between 644-656 when Uthman was caliph.
Because the Codex Sinaiticus was discovered in the 19th Century it's most likely a fraud that was written well before 400 AD. We do know that the Codex Amiatinus was the real deal. It was written after 692 and three copies were commissioned. One copy was given to the Pope, who didn't have a Bible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Amiatinus
So both the Bible and the Koran could have been written as complete books around the same time using various manuscripts and oral stories and pure BS.
Produce an actual Bible before the year 700 other than the Codex Amiatinus.
