How does the Bible refute the Koran's claims about Abraham John 8 39-58?

Answer 1

The Koran account of Abraham dwells mostly on a struggle going on between Abraham and his father over Abraham's father's idol worship. Abraham tries to convince his father not to worship these things that cannot see, hear, feel, taste, or smell, but he only manages to get himself rejected. So he leaves his father to become a true worshipper of Allah and in return for his faithfulness Allah gives Abraham two sons Jacob and Ishmael. In summary, Abraham is not so much the founder of Islam, as he is an example of someone who sought Allah's will. They believe his son Ishmael was the child of promise.

Christians view God's interaction and covenant with Abraham as something leading up to the coming of Jesus Christ. Similarly, Judaism or the Jews believe that God called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees (Mesopotamia) in order to make a covenant with him. Through this covenant, God would bless him and give Abraham's descendants a new land. Their child of promise was Isaac.

The Scripture noted above speaks to Jesus claim to be God - I AM. The crowd was claiming to be descendants of Abraham which they were but Jesus was speaking spiritually telling them their father was actually the god of this world which was why they could not understand His speaking to them correctly.
