Peace humble guest,

How do you know what you know about God if it were not for Divine Revelation. God Alone tells you about Himself. Moses did not go against God when similar laws were enforced.

Jesus told us all about Himself and the Father that He alone know becaue He is God, and He procceded from thr Father, All that Jesus told us came directly from God, literally.
Why send a monkey to do a man's work???
Why send a man to do God's work?
God 's divine final revelationis way to amazing and great for a any man to
deliver.
God has a Message so important to us that He came down and gave it to us.
He didn't do it secretly in a cave with a man, rather He showed us His face as Christ and taught us His way.

ou mean Revelations (2:23)?

That is obviously symbolic about Jesus smiting the evil.

Historically, The Prophet (pbuh) pronounced and carried out rajm (stoning) upon three married Muslims - one man and two women - and two Jews, a man and a woman.

Yeah, and they were two Jews!!! Not surprised.
Can't say Muhammed loved the Jews.

But why guess as to what God wants when He has clearly stated what He wants? We're not trying to make up laws and decide what is most merciful because God is Most Merciful and Just. That's the whole point of obeying God's commands, because whatever the ruling is it IS the most justice one can do for that person's Hereafter. People have to repent for their sins, and adulterers are given ample time for repentance. However, worldly punishments of hadd are a Mercy upon people who commit the most abominable acts because it detracts from their punishment in the Hereafter.

God did clearly state what He wanted.
He wants us to show mercy to sinners like adulteresses and prostitiues.
They are no more or less sinners than me or you.
If you stone an adulteress, you are saying "I am perfect and sinless so I can kill her for being sinful"
As Jesus said "For you that have never sinned, be the first to cast the stone"

Amen. But if you believe that then why second guess God? How do you know that someone can openly commit adultery, then spend the rest of their life in remorse, and this be better than openly committing adultery, sincerely repenting, then submitting to God's Will? Won't the person who avoided God's punishment now have to face the fact that they disobeyed God once again? (This applies to openly committed adultery, as adulterers are not supposed to confess their sins publicly, but repent to God).

I agree with you, but you can't foce people to do that.
Personally I believe adulteresses should be imprisoned for a time to reflect on their actions. but unfortunately Western society is too liberal.

I would say that Jesus (pbuh) lived by the Mosaic laws as Moses had lived, he corrected the corruptions, he didn't just throw the laws out.

Amen! You are correct!
So why does Islam add those corruptions back to the Law???

You can still uphold the law and love God and love for your neighbor what you love for yourself:

“You are a Muslim if you love for other people
what you love for yourself”

Not if you believe adulderesses and apostates should be stoned and this holy war concept.
Can't say Muhammed and Omae loved their neibors, Persia and Byzantine, as they incited their followers to wage battle against them.
No sir, that is not acceptable.

I don't see why you would surmise about this. Jesus was to Moses as Muhammad was to Jesus, except that Jesus is the Messiah and will return.

No, that is not so.
Stop treating the Messiah like he's just another prophet.
He IS the Seal of the Prophets.
All of the Prophets spoke about Him.
He is the Expected One, the Messiah.
Why is this so difficult for you to understand?

The Prophet Muhammad didn't incite his followers to act aggressively, but the Prophet did do what his Lord commanded, and that's not calling inciting nor being belligerent.

I do not accept that God wants us to use violence and coersian, that contradicts everything about Jesus Christ and what He taught us, the Law of God for all mankind.
Seems to me Muhammed and Omar wanted the great treasures and bounty of two of the greatest empires in existence.

Religion is not something to impose on anyone, whether it be an entire nation or a single person.

On what are you basing this on? That Jesus did not stone anyone? Islamic laws only apply in Islamic states, and arguably Jesus did not have a state from which to enact the Divine Laws.

One difference between Jesus and Muhammed. Jesus wasn't a killer.

But do you think that Moses (pbuh) would write laws that are contrary to the Will of God or His Justice?

God just gave him the Ten Commandments, but the Israelites were so rebellious and hard to control that Moses wrote a strict code of laws for them.

But I still think that marriage is a goal to be strived for.

"When the servant marries, he completes half of his religion; so let him fear God in the remaining half."

Wedlock is very important in Islam.

I agree with you, for most of us I believe.

I don't think it's quantifiable like that. How do you weigh this in, because God hasn't revealed which acts of obedience/worship are ranked in comparison to each other.

Oh, I believe it is.
PErcisel;y why Jesus's Law is more superior than Islamic law.
Jesus never gave us rankings for commandments, only two commandments did He give us, "Love God above all things and love our neighbors likewise."
Helping to improve and save the lives of many sick people is very pleasing to the Lord. The Lord wishes we all could be that way for fellow man.
What is the best is if the husband and wife would do such work together!
Marriage is a full-time partnership.

Because they brought no proof that they 1) had the word of God revealed to them 2) that they were the Prophets of God and 3) they came after the final Messenger.

Then their proof s are no more legitamite than Muhammed's.
What Biblical references you use to justify Muhammed are used very incorrectly, another reason why I am not a Muslim.
To force myself into such a level of ignorance is not possible.

Well we can't say ALL people, but many Prophets were sent. We don't really know how distorted their messages eventually became by observing the tribes and civilizations that were left around them, but we know they did deliver the message.

Well, that's all conjecture to me.

A story is either True or it isn't. I say that the accounts of the Qur'an are Absolute Truth. Now if another account kind of matches this, then they are "kind of" true only where they match the Qur'an. Think of it this way. You have a classroom of students writing an exam. Two students, one sitting behind the other, wrote very similar answers to a certain question. Can the teacher accuse one of them of cheating just because she sees their answers are similar? No, because the fact that the answers are similar only means that they both convene to the correct answer written in the Class Text Book. The fact that they have similar answers alone doesn't mean that one can accuse the other of having copied anything, because they could both be correct WHEN they match the correct answer in the Text Book. The teacher would be bearing
false witness if she made an accusation without proof of cheating.

Well, I mean t the Quran has exact stories as found in some apocryphal writings except for a few minor disparities.
The story about Jesus under a datepalm commanding it to bring forth water and dates is the same exact story found in a 400 AD infancy gospel, except in that story Jesus was born in a cave as opposed to under the datepalm. That is too small of a disparity to be considered a coincidence.

I disagree. The Qur'an states some very clear things about the nature of Jesus (pbuh). He was a man, a Messenger, the Messiah, he was born of a virgin birth, he was not crucified but was ascended to God, he is not coequal to God, nor is he part of the Trinity Godhead. I don't see what can be more clear than that. It's not a misunderstanding, it is a negation of certain theological points which Jesus did not make.

Actually that IS complete misunderstanding of who Jesus Christ is.
Three enitire chapters of pure OT prophecy is about Jesus's Crucifixion, and Jesus told his disciples three times about His passion, death, and ressurection.
These astonishing prophecies and the word of Jesus in the Gospels are not taken into account in the Quran.
Jesus said He is not from thos world but came from the Father and his one with Him.
Everyone called Jesus "Lord", and Peter called Him the Son of God, and people worshipped Him. He never stopped them because He knew they understood who He was.

Oh ok, then you should focus more on it and learn about it. Give me some examples of what you mean about the "misunderstanding".

I give you an example.

"9:30" And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before;may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

How Jews view Ezra and how Christians view the Messiah are totally different. These two different things are botched together in this Surah showing serious ignorance.

The purple portion is incorrect because in Psalm 2 and 2 Samuel 7:13-14 God Himself tells us the Messiah is His Son.
The underlined portion just doesn't make sense.
The red portion is a nasty inappropriate comment that I doubt came from God.

And he's the last Messenger of God to return to Earth, that's why he returns and nobody follows him.

When Jesus comes back again, He's not going to be a human messenger, He will come back to judge the living and the dead.
