Jonathan Soko There are many, many versions of the Bible. And they keep upgrading and updating from various translations along with heavily revising them...The Good News Bible, King James Version, American Standard Version, The New Testament in Modern Speech, The Worrell New Testament, A New Translation of the Bible, Revised Standard Version, The New Jerusalem Bible, New World Translation...and the list goes on...
The Quran has many translations but it was revealed in Arabic and it's still preserved as it was back then, no matter where you are in the world, you will be able to read it and hear it in Arabic. But the Quran may be recited differently and the pronunciation of the words because there were no vowels or diacritical points when the Quran first was written. But it all has the same meaning. The Quran stays the same in Arabic, and the Hafs and Warsh transmission has the same meaning even though the verbs may be in different forms...
You have to try to be more open-minded and more understanding. We have a lot in common. And we may differ in our approach to God, but we believe and want to be saved before getting paradise one day. That's our goal...
As I said earlier, Jesus is a prophet, a human being. And he believed in One God.
And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. Mark 10:18
"I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. John 5:30
"But of that day and hour (Judgement day) no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. Matthew 24:36
"The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One." Mark 12:29
Back to what I tried to explain earlier...
Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. Quran 33:37
The Sun and the Moon are similarly complementary. So, in moral and spiritual affairs, seeming opposites may by Allah's alchemy be made to subserve the purposes of good. They are but instruments; Allah is the Cause. Adore Allah, and not the things which He has created. Use the things which He has created, but do not adore them.
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. Quran 1:2
To Allah doth belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, and it is He Who hath power over all things. Quran 116:120
Allah commands all power; therefore any power we seek must be from Him. And His power is steadfast, the same today as yesterday, and forever. Therefore His help is always sure.
And now back to what you asked about God having hands and fingers.
Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is! So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back. Quran 68:82-83
No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him: On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the Partners they attribute to Him! Quran 64:67
The whole earth will be no more to Allah than a thing that a man might enclose in the hollow of his hand, nor will the heavens with their vast expanse be more than a scroll, which a man might roll up with his right hand, the hand of power and action. Limitless is He in His glory.
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him. Quran 112:1-4
This is beyond our imagination and what we can visualize. Consequently, the quality of His Being is beyond the range of human comprehension or imagination: which also explains why any attempt at "depicting" God by means of figurative representations or even abstract symbols must be qualified as a blasphemous denial of the truth. I hope this answers your question.
