Christian/Muslim ThreadsElahi Elahi Lama SabachthaniGreetings H2O,
And….in green no less… Ever wonder why Islam favors the colors green and gold….? Yup….yet another Biblical carry-over by the authors of the Koran… Anyway… It is always best to study “proof texts” in context, as this often times sheds light on what is actually meant by a certain passage in scripture. Let’s review your perennial favorite springboard…. بَل رَّفَعَهُ اللّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ اللّهُ حَكِيمًا عَزِيزًا Bal rafaAAahu Allahu ilayhi wakana Allahu AAazeezan hakeeman 4.158 On the contrary, Allah rose him (Jesus) to Him, and Allah was/is glorious/mighty, wise/judicious. بَل = “Bal” “Bal” definition: A particle of digression; it denotes emendation, wherever it occurs, in the case of negation or an affirmation; or it is a word of emendation, and denoting digression from that which precedes. When it is followed by a proposition, the meaning of the digression is either the canceling of what precedes, as in: عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan subhanahu bal AAibadun mukramoona 21.26 And they said: "The Compassionate hath gotten offspring:” extolled be his freedom from that which is derogatory from his glory, nay/nay rather/nay but they are honored servants." or... If it is used as confirmation, then it must be followed by a clause in the affirmative, no matter if the question which it follows is the negative or affirmative. It can be rendered as But, on the contrary, besides; much more; no; nay; rather. References: An Arabic-English Lexicon, E.W. Lane, volume one, pp. 242 - 245 The Dictionary of the Holy Qur’an, 1st edition, Abdul Mannan Omar, p. 62 We have two other examples of the cancellation and/or correcting of prior scriptures just within Sura 4, as seen in 4.49 & 4.155… Thus, it should come as no surprise, we can see for ourselves that 4.158 cancels what is said in 4.157 regarding the false claim that Jesus was not Crucified , and replaces this false claim with the corporeal Resurrection event as described in 4.158 & 4.159…. Furthermore, the authors of the Koran have provided Sura 86 which demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that Jesus was indeed Crucified, Resurrected and Judges the dead. In short, the Koran confirms that Jesus is indeed God Almighty… Thanks… |
