memorizing, writing down revelations in scrolls/books and spreading to the people are the way of all companions of the Messengers of God.

how widespread was the spreading of the books of the followers of Jesus and the Koran ?

[submit]

the early Jewish followers of prophet Jesus spread the teachings onto Israelites.
the followers of prophet Muhammad spread the teachings onto mankind.

So did Allah ask the followers of Jesus to spread the book to only Jews or to all mankind, like the Koran ?

What did God say to the followers of Jesus regarding the books that the followers were spreading ?

Yes followers of Jesus would be spreading covenant onto Children of Israel.

And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic." 61:6

The covenant brought by Messengers are guidance against falsehood. Among the falsehood are making idols, believing in parts of God becoming flesh on earth, God having equals etc.. These are among the falsehood.

Prophet Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) was sent for Children of Israel. But in the end, the Jews attempt to kill him. Certainly they do not succeed.

Among message from Jesus to Children of Israel is that, there will be a messenger after him sent for mankind.

Isnt every messenger from God for all mankind ?

The core of the covenant from God will be the same for mankind. So if Israelite prophets met non-Israelite, they will invite them to the same teachings of prophet Noah submitting to one singular God. But their covenant are for Children of Israel.

~~
Paul's role in God's plan is what is defined by the term falsehood onto the covenant of God.

Paul's teaching is against the covenant of God brought by all messengers. Hence why no Noahites or Israelites accepted his teachings. But hellenistics pagans accepted Paul's teachings as the concept of human gods is cherished in Greek cultures.

~~

Jews attempted to kill prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as well.

[brian464]

submitting to one singular God

Paul did submit to one God and God's Word (who appeared to Paul ), just as muslims submit to Allah and the Koran (Allah's word)

You do know that when God says the Word "I", both "I"(the Word)  and God are not two different beings but one God.

Isn't Bible supposed to be the word of God too? I mean, Jesus was just one word, whereas the Bible is much greater than that. So... is Bible a bigger God? Or at the very least, it should be a God too. Right?
