Greetings!
Does anyone carry an Exhaustive verse list comparison between the quran, or nwt and the Bible?
Thank You
What kind of comparison are you thinking of? what does nwt stand for?
I was looking for more of a side-by-side display to show the differences between verses or ideas. The nwt was an abbr. for New World Translation.

What you are asking here is not possible since the Quran is not the Bible (so it is not like a translation of the Word of God for example ESV, KJV...).
The god of the Quran is not the God of our Bible. Jesus in the Quran is only a prophet and not the Son of God.
It has some comparisons where the Quran talks about creation, Jesus, etc...and compares them with the Word of God.
Several of the Islam apologetics books are good http://www.logos.com/products/search?q=islam
The Journal of Biblical Apologetics Vols 5 though 8 deal with Islam and all four are quite interesting. I highly recommend them.
Remember, if you purchase any of these books and they are not what you were really looking for, Logos has a 30 day return policy.
I hope you did not get the wrong idea. Jesus is definitely Lord and the Bible is the whole counsel of God. These are simply cults I run into on a daily basis that don't know the bible in which they "believe". And to stand to "debate" (without the facts) is too time consuming. So I thought this will be simple route (considering I am not interested in spending any of my limited time here studying the occult). This conversation will not last to long if the Father has not given them to the Son, or at least at that moment. But the facts will be shared..
The following is what I have. But I know it is nothing compared to what is...
Bible
Qur'an
Monotheistic, Trinitarian, (Isaiah 43:10; 44:6-8;Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14).
Monotheistic (5:73; 112:1-4), denies the Trinity (5:73).
Jesus is God in flesh (Col. 2:9).
Jesus is not God (5:17, 75).
Jesus was crucified (1 Pet. 2:24).
Jesus was not Crucified, (4:157).
Jesus rose from the dead (John 2:19-20).
Jesus did not rise from the dead.
Jesus was the Son of God (Mark 1:1).
Jesus was not the Son of God (9:30).
Holy Spirit, 3rd person in the Godhead. He will bear witness of Jesus (John 14:26; 15:26).
The Holy Spirit is the angel Gabriel (2:97; 16:102).
Salvation by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9).
Salvation by sincerity and works (3:135; 7:8-9; 21:47; 49:14; 66:8-9).
The Devil is a fallen angel (Isaiah 14:12-15).
The Devil, Satan, is not a fallen angel, but a fallen Jinn (2:34; 7:12; 15:27; 55:15).
Man is fallen, a sinner (Rom. 3:23).
Man is basically good.
Disciples were Christians (Acts 11:26).
Disciples declare themselves Muslims (5:111).
Worship on Sabbath (Exodus 20) then later on Sunday (Rom. 14:5-6; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:1-2).
Worship on Friday (62:9).
Miracles, numerous are recorded (1 Cor. 15:3-5, etc.).
No Miracles recorded, except they claim the Qur'an is a miracle.
Makes numerous prophecies (Isaiah 53; Micah 5:2, etc.).
Makes no prophecies.
Douglas, when I read your initial question I thought you were trying to do word for word comparisons. What you're really are interested in are comparison charts between various religions and between cults and orthodox Christianity.
I don't know of anything in Logos like this.
Here are some links to some non-Logos resources. I don't know anything about the ministry that produced these:

Keep Smiling [:)]
Good finds Thank you. I wanted a few steppers if not to convince, to obviously end the conversation on solid ground. And having Logos right there (especially in tablet or an Acer Iconia-6120 14-Inch Dual-Screen Touchbook), if we can get past the lies, we have all the truth we need! Thank you again Logos for all of the Hard work in Blessing the Body of Christ.
Sincerely,
Douglas
