| | God and the Holy Books |
 | | Consequently, all the holy books of these religions and the sayings of Baha-ullah are considered from God. | | | The Book of Mormon while arguing that the Bible does not contain all of God's written word to mankind acknowledges that the Bible is from God and hence that it is in harmony with it. | | | Baha-ullah thought that all of the founders of the world's great religions, and thus their holy books, were from the one God. |

| | Holy Books of Thelema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It is the only Holy Book that Aleister Crowley claimed to have had no part in the authorship of. | | | Its primacy is indicated in chapter III, verse 47: This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. | | | The rest of the text is Class B. The Stèlle of Revealing is not part of the Holy Books, despite it being a part of the Gnostic Mass (Liber XV) that is performed by Thelemites as part of their sacred rituals. |

| | In the Beginning, There Were the Holly Books - Kenneth L Woodward |
| | Contrary to popular belief, “the Book” in question is not the Bible; it refers to a heavenly text, written by God, of which the Qur’an is the only perfect copy. | | | Like the Bible, the Qur’an is a book of divine revelation. | | | Theologically, both books profess faith in a single God (Allah means “The God”) who creates and sustains the world. |

| | In the Holy Science it is impossible to find essential literature the author says he draws on in very many of his Sanskrit quotations, for their references are not given. | | | The book strives to present a harmony and unity with Hinduism that many a Christian pastor feels it is wise to reject rather than embrace. | | | I love this book because of its conciseness and the conviction and authority expressed in its words (as befits an "Incarnation of Wisdom"), but I am only a beginner on the spiritual path, so I don't understand all of it. |

| | MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: Impure Holy Books |
| | Since the language "cause hands to become impure" was associated with holy books, the rabbis after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE continued to use the phrase to describe which books were holy and conversely which books were not holy (the "not holy" books do not make hands impure). | | | By declaring that holy books "caused hands to become impure," priests would avoid eating or bringing food into the rooms with the holy books. | | | Apparently, during Temple times, the priests in charge of holy books took advantage of the fact that priests avoided touching anything impure while they were carrying food, lest the food become impure. |

| | Atheism - Holy Books |
| | In order to further their argument for the existence of a god, theists continually bring up their particular holy book as evidence for everything they claim, for some reason Christians tend to do this more than any other group, undoubtedly because they've been taught to believe in their book rather addressing things logically. | | | Most religious texts imediately describe their god as loving to some degree, however, further reading within the book will reveal a malicious, hateful god which causes harm needlessly, tortures the innocent and practices entrapment on humans. | | | Regardless of whether this god is perfect or not, we can still begin to see obvious flaws with the way that most religions see their god behaving. |
