text: This is really getting ridiculous, Ebes. You state that there is no reason for studying the NT if one is not a Christian, and I attempt to invite you to a broader viewpoint by flipping the topic to non-Muslims studying the Quoran. That is, I tried to argue by analogy: non-Muslims studying the Quoran is analogous to non-Christians studying the NT. 
  
  And your mind, missing the analogy entirely, leaps to trumpeting you lack of faith in the Quoran as inspired and in Judaism after the resurrection? I posited by analogy in the form of questions, for often inviting someone to wrap their mind around questions assists understanding. If you don't get the analogy, and you refuse my questions designed to help you see the analogy, I fail to see any intellectual way forward.
