Christian/Muslim ThreadsContradictions in the Quran :: Re: Contradictions in the QuranLoki, cant you see your own contradiction here. You are not really interested in if there explanations for alleged contradictions in the Bible. You just believe in it, and you think there are explanations and then you accept by heart when you see possible explanations. Likewise, we do not believe there are contradictions in the Qur'an, and we think there are explanations....we are as firm as you on this... So how can one understand which of them represents truth? With our limited human views, we just cant tell without God's guidance. Once we believe in one of them, we just keep the faith that God cannot make any mistakes or leave contradictions in His Word. This implies, we are not sent to the Earth solely to decide which Book is the Word of God, and which are not. Think for a second why would God send His revealation to humanity. Answer is to guide them and assist them so that they live their lives with peace of mind and heart and in a harmonious society. And that is best achived by seeking refuge in Him. (Do you have any objections to that?) This in turn requires that you should seek the truth of Message, not in what you were born into, but in what appeals to you and your needs more! In this regard, what you should fight is not Islam or any other religion but your own "self," because you might just be rejecting God's guidance by rejecting an aspect of His Message that appeals to you. This might not be a straightforward process, but still you can be honest and sincere in accepting good aspects of other religions. Some of you here behave in such a way that, Muhammad should not be a good person, or Qur'an should not be a complete book, so that the Message they represent be not truth. In a way you seek pretexts to reject the Message. This attitude is wrong, because that may mean you close a door God can guide you. Imo, the best attitude is to accept religions as they are. If they have any appeal on you, you may accept them or not accept them. In this light, acknowledging any goodness in Islam does not make you a Muslim in an instant, but can make you a better person in God's presence, so that He may guide you to the true path. My approach is this. I believe Bible is corrpupted, because Qur'an says so. But I do not need to invest on that to show you how it is corrupted. Actually I think when people become loose of Christianity they see these contradictions themselves. In fact, when I accept Christianity as you tell and represent it, I do not think it would do any good for me in my life, nor it has any appeal in my mind with its theology. One simple approach. Both Christianity and Islam, in early times, spreaded mostly among lower classes first and then upper classes joined. Message had appeal on lower classes first, because of their needs and expectaions for a relieve. Thats how God helps and guides people. Just do not get the channels clogged, by following your "self"s. |
