What is sharia law?

[samaan]

Yes. And while these questions are contemplated, keep in mind that the Qur’an is the “perfect word of Allah for all time,” and “not subject to human interpretation.” “It is what it is.”

You have hit on a very important theological topic most Moslems don’t like to discuss.

As you pointed out, the Koran has neither beginning nor end. It is uncreated and eternal.

If the Koran never had a beginning and was not created, that means it always existed with Allah
However, the Koran isn’t Allah
Therefore, the Koran by necessity must exist one in being with Allah, but not Allah.

Translation: The Koran is a second person within Allah

It wasn’t difficult. Sister Amy provided me with the statements.

Sometimes I get the idea that since the Koran “is not subject to human interpretation” that Muslims think the same about every Muslim statement, written or spoken. They don’t consider that statements they make have to agree with other statements. This gets back to Warner’s thesis about Islamic dualism, that “A” and “A-not” can both be true at the same time; you just have to put them into the correct “context”.

I’ve been waiting for him to respond to me. I find it so amusing how he persistently refuses to finish the last discussion we had, let alone start any new ones
