You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The Quran actually mashes a bunch of MAJOR stories together. For example, Saul and Gideon, it straight up remixes the biblical account and then calls it “New Revelation.”
In 1 Samuel, Saul is chosen as Israel’s king. He’s tall, strong, and anointed by Samuel.
In Judges 7, Gideon is the one who tests his army by the water. Those who lap like dogs are cut, those who drink properly stay.
Two different leaders. Two different times in history.
But in Surah 2:246–252, the Quran gives that water test to Saul.
That’s like saying George Washington crossed the Atlantic Ocean to discover America in 1492.
Totally different people. Totally different events.
But the Quran fuses them into one blended story.
Why is nobody talking about this?
That’s not Revelation—that’s confusion.
The details are undeniably the same, and it’s undeniably a mix-up.
And here’s what hit me:
As a Muslim reading the Bible, I realized something.
The Bible is laser precise with names, places, and timelines, because God actually moved in real history.
But the Quran feels like someone overheard Jewish and Christian stories, mashed them together, and turned them into a moral lesson.
And if the book I was reading can’t keep Saul and Gideon straight, how could I trust it with my eternity?
The God of Scripture doesn’t blur history.
He writes it in detail, and every story points forward.
The entire Old Testament is a witness to the coming of Christ. And that’s why I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior.
