ArchivedCan one know God only from a logical sense?If you want to say you don't want to believe the Bible to be the word of God because it has "contradictions" then why do you accept the Qu'ran as the word of God when it has contradictions in it also? You have to be fair when making your arguments. The fact that the Qu'ran has internal contradictions is not the reason I do not accept it as the word of God though. I don't accept Islam because it contradicts God's plan frm the beginning. Let's take a look at some internal contradictions in the Qu'ran: 1. Sura 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4] which adds up to more than the available estate. A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of the available property. 2. How many angels were talking to Mary? When the Qur'an speaks about the announciation of the birth of Jesus to the virgin Mary, Sura 3:42,45 speaks about (several) angels while it is only one in Sura 19:17-21. 3. How many days did Allah need to destroy the people of Aad? One day [54] or several days [41:16; 69:6,7] 4. Six or eight days of creation? Sura 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59 clearly state that God created "the heavens and the earth" in six days. But in 41:9-12 the detailed description of the creation procedure adds up to eight days. 5. Heavens or Earth? Which was created first? First earth and then heaven [2], heaven and after that earth [79:27-30]. 6.Further numerical discrepancies Does Allah's day equal to 1,000 human years (Sura 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Sura 70:4)? --- How many gardens are there in paradise? ONE [as stated in 39:73, 41:30, 57:21, 79:41] or MANY [18:31, 22:23, 35:33, 78:32]? --- According to Sura 56:7 there will be THREE distinct groups of people at the Last Judgement, but 90:18-19, 99:6-8, etc. mention only TWO groups. --- There are conflicting views on who takes the souls at death: THE Angel of Death [32], THE angels (plural) [47] but also "It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death." [39] Angels have 2, 3, or 4 pairs of wings [35]. But Gabriel had 600 wings. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 455] I'll stop here. "There are MANY more." You see oneGOD, I am never the one to start an argument on how many contradictions the Qu'ran has. I only use that as a defense when a Muslim tells me that he/she rejects the Bible by telling me how much contradictions it has. Also, if you reject the Biblical theologians explanation of the Biblical "contradictions", then why should I accept yours or any other Muslim's explanation of the contradictions in the Qu'ran? To you, the Bible has many contradictions because you think it was written by many men not inspired by God. But how can the Qu'ran contain this many contradictions when it was written by God Himself? |
