Comparing Bhagavad Gita And The Quran

Improved Essays
What is God to you? Is God the almighty, all-knowing, all-powerful being who watches over our every decision and action? Does God take a figure of a human, and walk amongst us, or is God only an imaginative being? In fact, God can be whatever people need him to be. Some of the biggest holy books which all portray a distinct type of God describing the way people should live their lives or the ways to everlasting life in heaven are the Bhagavad Gita, the Holy Bible, and the Quran. All these publications reveal their god to possess laws and unique features that lead these faiths to differ or compare to every other. In all three novels, God is an excellent teacher. God's teaching style in the Quran, as well as the Holy Bible, are alike only when God is in the Old Testament in the Bible. The Gita and the Bible are substantially similar when God is in the New Testament in the Bible. In the Old Testament God instructs through commands and laws Which He gives to everyone. He teaches Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of knowledge because "when you eat the forbidden fruit, you shall surely die" (Bible, Genesis 2:17).

Instead of teaching just the belief of paradise and hell, the Bhagavad Gita teaches reincarnation and receiving another body after death (Bhagavad Gita 2.13).

Krishna clarifies the gates of paradise open when one dies for a moral cause such as in Arjuna's event. The principal difference between the perspectives of Quran and the Bible regarding the Bhagavad Gita is that in the Bhagavad Gita paradise or hell will not need to be achieved in a single life.

    Two religions, Islam and Christianity, were both founded by Abraham and his sons. Even with the same family founding them they have very diverse similarities and differences. Within both passages found in the Koran, Sura 93, and the Bible, Psalms 23, similar points are expressed.

    Defining something as large and complex as God is something hard to process. So for our purposes, we will call God the GCB or greatest conceivable being. A GCB can be agreed upon as a being who is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omnibenevolent, meaning all-knowing, able to do anything, able to be everywhere at the same time, and all-loving. For thousands of years, people have debated the idea of a GCB. This debate has led to countless wars and many deaths.…

    Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, a wonderful place where they could “eat freely out of every tree” except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen 2.16). Everything god created was good, and no evil existed in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were specifically warned not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or they would die. When Eve learned from the serpent that the forbidden fruit would make her “like god” and give her “knowledge of good and evil”, they disobeyed god’s instructions. Incapable to control their hunger for knowledge, Adam and Eve ate the fruit that god specifically forbid them from enjoying.…
