Muhammad said that angels gave him scriptures from God (Allah). Prior to him, were there ever any other accounts of angels telling people scripture?

All I can find is God speaking directly to people (Abram and burning bush with Moses for example), or angels directing people to others who informed them of scripture (for example when an Ethiopian court official wanted to understand scripture and an angel directed a disciple to said official). Or instances where angels relayed messages like when speaking to Mary, or telling the women that they shouldn't be looking for Jesus in the tomb. I may be wrong but I believe there are instances where angels recited scriptures already written down or spoken previously by prophets. Am I missing other instances whereby scripture was delivered to people through an angel; or was Muhammad the only person with which this occurred?

This is a serious question so please tell me the passages where I can find these examples; if the examples are not in the Bible then please explain in detail as I lack access to a Torah (I apologize if this is misspelled. Spell check won't let me spell it differently.)

(I also want to know if anyone knows how Muhammad verified that the angel was divine and not a wolf in sheep's clothing. If not it's okay, that may be one of those facts lost to history because nobody thought it was important.)

Okay, so does this date of Dec. 21, 2012 account for daylight savings time and leap years? because i read one account that says when these are factored in the mystical day of Apocalypse already passed...

is it religiously motivated? culturally motivated? personally motivated?

What year and prophet told you to stop animal sacrifice as it was no longer necessary? I do not have any synagogues around my city that I can go ask this question at. I know that it was practiced so long as such a central feature of your beliefs and that many of the celebration feast days when sacrifices would have been made are still acknowledged, I was just wondering which prophet of Jehovah told his people that animal sacrifice was passe and no longer needed. thank you and God Bless You for your assistance.

as the Pilgrims feasted with the Native Americans giving thanks to GOD for surviving and the harvest of food and such. They reflected upon their many blessings for which they were thankful.

I mean is there one Housewife that you have personal respect for. Who? Which city? and why? I respect a few for various reasons but I was wondering how many people actually have respect for these women as real people and why.

Last time I checked there where only a few "predestination" believing Christians. Such as the Puritans. Where are all these arguments that free will contradicts Christian arguments coming from? on what are they based. I have heard one argument about free will contradicting God being perfect, but that makes no sense because God is perfect not each individual person. Him being perfect doesn't mean that he already knows what you are going to do, or else why bother testing Job's faith? or anyone else for that matter? He knows what you think and do as you do and think. Otherwise, every moment is an opportunity to do any of several things, we pick which one.

I seriously confuse most people with a statement as simple as that which is ising cannot not is and must continue ising in a state of isingness. I know I made up the words but that is the nature of the limitations of man-made language. Where do I meet people who will understand that this statement is perfectly coherent?

and not able to grasp concepts that require abstract thinking? So many of the "reasons" they give only illustrate concrete logic. They automatically dismiss any conclusions drawn from contemplating abstract ideas and concepts. I do not understand why they have such trouble with abstract concepts and ideas, and instead draw them incorrectly into the context of concrete ideas and concepts where they of course fail to make any sense.

if all they had to go on was the music on the mp3 player to determine what you were like, what would your music say about you? Who would anthropologists say you were on the plaque next to your bones in the display case of the museum?

How do you explain the fact that every guy I have met acts like a 6th century brute interested in MMA, Boxing, basically beating the crap out of each other and watching little kids beat the crap out of each other. Where is the evolution?

(I am college grad and do not just know redneck guys from trailer parks.) I am intelligent and yet even graduate level men are just as brutish. What happened to evolving into a better species?

What do you expect God to do WITHOUT over riding someone's free will, that man could not intervene and take it away anyways?

Ha Ha Funny answers like "in the last place you look" and "check your pockets" may seem HILARIOUS to you but not to me. I am serious the thing cost lots of money :(

Last time I had it was before I did the dishes
