In Bible versus Quran: When God sends a curse upon the priests

In Bible versus Quran: When God sends a curse upon the priests

The Lord God Rebukes the Priests in Bible versus Quran

 

In the Bible, the verses of Malachi 2:1-4 indicate that:

1) The priests may be sinful and do not follow God’s Commandments.

2) The priests are allowed to marry, since God said that He will put their “offerings” dung on their faces.

However, God did not say anything about the punishments of those priests in the Hereafter.

On the other hand, the Roman Catholic Priests are not allowed to marry.

It goes without saying that a priest is but a man.

The simple and fundamental physiological requirements of any man are to eat, to drink, to have sex, to sleep etc.  On the other hand, the Angels do not eat, drink, have sex, sleep etc.

For this reason, it is Contrary to Nature if we ban priests from having sex.  Would or could we ban a priest of eating, drinking or sleeping etc.?

Of course, it is impossible.

Why then the Roman Catholic Priests in Africa are allowed to marry and even to have more than one wife while those in USA or Europe are not allowed to have even one wife to satisfy their essential physiological requirements?

The Catholic sex abuse cases were a series of malicious gossips in many countries; many of the cases were abuse of minors under the age of 18 by certain Roman Catholic clergy. The cases involved parish priests under diocesan control and members of Roman Catholic religious orders.  There is a general agreement that this socio-religious problem has been most prominent in the United States, and then in Australia, Canada and Ireland.

If you type in any search engine something like Priest’s Crimes, Killer Priest, Misguided priests, Priests Child sexual abuse, priest Molestation of kids etc. you will get a lot of articles on the net.

 In the Quran, neither Monasticism nor priesthood is prescribed.

There are no priests; and Allah’s Commandments are even and equally prescribed for all Muslims.

There is no person having the authority to perform and administer religious rites; there are no priests!  And Allah’s Admonitions are equally required for every Muslim.

In the Quran, there is no holy man and there is no group of people like the Levi people therein in the Quran.

In a narrated Hadith, the Prophet Muhammad says: All the son of Adam is sinful, and the best ever sinful man is the one who repents, relents and asks forgiveness (DIRECLY) from Allah.

God Rebukes the Priests in the Bible

 

The Bible (Malachi 2:1-4) says:

And now, O you priests, this commandment is for you. If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, said Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.  Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you shall be taken away with it. And you shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant may be with Levi, said Jehovah of hosts.

Malachi 2:1-4 (English Standard Version)

1″And now, O priests, this command is for you.

2 If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the LORD of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.

3Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and spread dung on your faces, the dung of your offerings, and you shall be taken away with it.

4So shall you know that I have sent this command to you, that my covenant with Levi may stand, says the LORD of hosts.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?
