to make it short and sweet, its all about faith.

If you have faith, none can take it away from you and if you don't have faith none can give it to you.

U gotta believe my brotha

So you have fallen for my trap, despite the fact I told you exactly what my trap was.

Your whole thing is not faith but trust as I said. You trust that the books, what people believe, and what you believe is true, you call it faith.

union wrote:Muslim people believe the Qu’ran to be the word of God unchanged and unchangeable. A book which no falsehood can approach from the front nor the back, a merciful revelation from the sovereign of heaven to guide his creation to the path of righteousness and piety. A book unique in its style, most eloquent in its speech, clear in its expressions of the lawful and unlawful, conclusive in its proofs and protected from addition and omission. With that said, any textual scholarship of the Qu’ran which disagrees with progressive Muslim teachings is inherently incorrect.

I think the key word here is "believe". While Muslims wholeheartedly believe in the purity of their scriptures, others may not. Every belief system claims to be upon the truth, and every belief system claims to be the only route to salvation. I think what PO is trying to say is that it's easy to see the flaws in the logic of other belief systems, but we tend to temporarily suspend reason when it comes to our own. If we're being honest, every religion basically claims that what this book says is right because this book says it's right

lol @ your last sentence btw.

You don't live 1400 years ago, so you have to trust that it is all there, which adds on to the first trust you already have, which is that it is all true.

Perfect_Order wrote:Union by far is the most interesting case. As I understood from his post, the book is inherently wrong. It is wrong based on the standards, customs, ideals of the people who look into it. If it is wrong for one time, then it is wrong for all time. Union if one statement can be wrong, then all the statements of it can be wrong. That is just logic.

Is that a direct quote, it's hard to read your arabic.

I also believe that cutting limbs in the most literal sense is part of the Quran and has been accepted by every single major scholar of Islam.

But in the 21st century, union of snet thinks that, that ayah is no longer acceptable in these progressive times, as if the Quran is like the Torrah or Bible.

May Allah protect us from these kinds of men, who try twist and turn the Quran, and make it suite them as the Jews and Christians before them did.

You have a serious obsession with chopping of limbs.
