Sharia law comes from the Koran and the hadith, not from the Torah. You can google it.
“Sharia is the body of Islamic religious law based on the Koran and the words and actions of the prophet Mohammed and his followers.”
Lisa 44,
You were looking for a quote in the Torah, Bible or Qur’an on stoning??? Boy! and You asked me to reduce my information in one or two sentences??? Can you kindly reduce the number of questions to just one or two? - Some of those questions you asked, aren’t requiring a short sentence, are they?
Why did Jesus stop people from stoning to death the adulterous woman?
And then why did God instruct the Muslims to bury women up to their necks and stone them?
Why did Jesus tell men to have only one wife? And then the same God says, ok, 4 wives?
Why did Jesus tell men not to put their wives away? And then the same god tells Muslims they may have divorce by saying to their wives 3 times “I divorce you”?
Those are some of the questions you asked - Hey! Piece of Cake can you take these questions to the other board (you mentioned) and see if my answers were any good? You know I had to compare them with another board**
Seems like you have copied and pasted information for me to read, thank you but i’ve read through them years ago. Sharia law is from the Koran - didn’t say that it wasn’t, what I said was that they reflect or mirror the Torah in aspects of the law, and for example:
Purification
Dietary Law
Code of Conduct
Family law
Only nations that prefer skullcap (kufi or kippah) for men.
Governing legal system - ones that hear and interpret the law
I could go on and on…The Five Pillars/ Proverbs lists Seven: “Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:”
The arkan ad-din or five pillars of religion form the basis for sharia law. The first, Shahadah, is an affirmation of belief. The second pillar, Salat, is a solemn obligation to pray in accordance with strict rituals. The third pillar is Sawm Ramadan, which involves fasting. The fourth, Zakat, regulates alms-giving. The last pillar is Hajj, or the pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim must undertake.
Morningsong51 previous quote:
Sure - in one or two sentences. These laws that we’re reading about in scripture and in other religions, is based on maximum usage of the law - there was no compassion when they deliberated them. Christ - taught the law and also taught them how to follow the law “What does the law acknowledge, Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful and be to one another kind, compassionate, forgiving one another, so as God also in Christ has forgiven you” In some cases today and in the past, compassion, mercy and good judgment, is/was not being used within the law - that’s why so many women/wives/people are leaving the faith and converting over to other religions - so it is a wrong. It necessary to understand, that Christ was obedient in every way, and that He was One with the Father – in likeness, image and in wisdom - and in Precedence in law - to be able to argue the fact of.

You lost me again, in reference to the OP question, I still have no idea what your position is. What law are you talking about? The ten commandments says thou shalt not murder.
Sharia is a term which refers to a way in which a legal code can be devised in accordance with (Islamic) theological principles. Since man is by default imperfect, and man devises a worldly legal code, and God devises the spiritual master legal code, we (humans) can only do our best to try to form a legal code which is in accordance with divine principle.
Therefore if a law seems unjust or immoral, that is the fault of the person who interpolated that law (in other words, made it up based on his understanding).
Per quote: would you like my source? We both can view a scholar’s thoughts
That all said, the law of the Hebrews is very similar. If one understands Mosaic law there is a lot of sense to be made out of it. Jesus didn’t come to say, ‘we don’t need all this stuff’, he came to say ‘remember WHY we are doing this stuff, there is a reason, don’t follow the law(rules/practice) mindlessly, otherwise what’s the point?’

Direct quote to Lisa: Do you know the verbiage or correct pronunciation for the word Governor in Arabic - or in Farsi? Is that a strong hint! **
A local Islamic scholar whose school I have visited for lectures before used to always teach us, Islamic law says you must follow the law of the country you live in. If it compromises your faith, you can leave that country, but you should always obey the law of the land. And who governs the laws in that country? Who assigns Qadi? …
Qadi (also known as qaadi, qaadee, qazi, kazi or kadi) (Arabic: قاضي qāḍī) is a judge ruling in accordance with Islamic religious law (sharia) appointed by the ruler of a Muslim country. Because Islam makes no distinction between religious and secular domains, qadis traditionally have jurisdiction over all legal matters involving Muslims. The judgment of a qadi must be based on ijmah, the prevailing consensus of the Islamic scholars (ulema).

Islamic law represents one of the world’s great legal systems. Like Judaic law, which influenced western legal systems, Islamic law originated as an important part of the religion.

As you say the Catechism teaches we worship the same God just like the Jews. Ok we have been blessed with a special favour a more personal loving disclosure, but none the less the same God. Which then of course asks the question why this debate carries on?
