Only man's interpretation makes it seem like they do. Really.
An attempt at literal understanding is counterproductive. Most teachings are metaphorical. It even says that.
What are those lessons, specifically? Just give me an example or two.
How can 'Jesus is the son of god' and 'there is no son of god, he is only a messenger' not contradict each other? It isn't a matter of interpretation, that's what it fucking says.
What is the metaphorical meaning of the bible and the quran?
