Can you please explain what evidence you have that the Bible is a forgery? I find this comment counter productive to civil conversation. I could just as easly say that the prophet muhammed is a false prophet making the above quote null and void.
Did you read the link that Shenango provided? It is **not ** the Muslims who are saying it was an addition…reread the link.
I thought we were people of the book? The thing I dont understand, is why it is that Islamic people think that Christians are living out a lie based on forgery. It seems like the truth is that Islam would like to remove Christianity from the face of the Earth but just fails to come right out and say it. Are we Christians simply all living a lie? What does the Koran offer for advice in dealing with such people?
Yes, Christians are believing in a lie that has been told to them. Allah advises the believers to call Christians back to the truth and out of the misguidance that has reached them. Our duty as Muslims is to call to the truth…as you will see from the verses below.
The Quran says:
So if they dispute with thee, say: “I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me.”
And say to the People of the Book and to those who are unlearned: “Do ye (also) submit yourselves?” If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah.s sight are (all) His servants (Quran 3:20)
Say: “
O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah. that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.” **If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims ** (bowing to Allah.s Will).(Quran 3:64)
I must admit that Mohamed did the right thing in letting her have the baby. There is just one problem after that. He committed murder. The right merciful answer is ‘go and sin no more’ not ‘stone her to death’. The only places on Earth where these sort of Islamic murders for adultery are taking place are in third world countries that lack the very essence of true civilization and justice for all people.
The lady in the story understood her mistake and sought her punishment. The prophet peace be upon him turned her down several times, telling her to go away…and she would continously come back…for 3 years this happened.
There are some people on this earth who when they do something wrong, they dont run from the consequences. She was one of them…and that is probably why her repentence is enough to cover the sins of 70 men.
color=black]For all of it’s faults the US won’t kill you for making a mistake like cheating. And since God is love he is willing to forgive us. When you hear the words from Christians “God is love” do you agree? Or is God something else in Islam?
One of Allah’s 99 names is “the Loving” But that doesnt mean we dont have punishments for people on earth or that there is no such place as Hell.
Why dont we just not punish anyone? Why do the murderes have to go to jail for their “mistake”? why dont we just have a place where if you make a mistake, you are just forgiven, and you go home…hmm.
Like I said, the punishment is an act of mercy…it removes the sin…that is why the lady in the story chased the prophet peace be upon him down for 3 years.
She makes an error and gets pregnant out of adultery. She then gives birth to the child and gets to see the wonderful creation of God in her childs eyes. She is then wrapped in her clothes and forced to endure a horrific death. The child gets to grow up without it’s mother in a broken situation. There is nothing Holy or of God about any of that. The entire scenario stinks of brutality and hatred. I suppose little people should be encouraged to watch when these things take place as well? After all why hide the will of God from children.
This is your conjecture. Have you seen what is inside her heart? From the story, we know it was to repent from her sin…or else that prophet (pbuh) would not have prayed for her and he would not have said what he said about her repentance.
There were many hypocrites in the prophet’s (pbuh) time. For example, ther was a man who died in battle…and everyone was praising him saying “he gave his life up for the sake of God in defense of his religion and people” and the prophet (pbuh) told them that that man is in hell (i think it was either b/c he committed suicide or b/c he was fighting to show off and not for the sake of God).
