Christian/Muslim ThreadsContradictions in the QuranI've been explaining that all along. Muslims and Christians have very different mindsets on this. You more seek outer references, we more seek inner references. Outer references are important but only through faculties God put in you, you can correctly understand and evaluate those outer references. In that regard, rationalization may be good or bad thing. It is essential as it is what makes us sane creatures. But you can rationalize everything. If you use this ability in the way satan used, to legitimize your conjectures over God's orders, then you are in sheer trouble. So what makes difference is the "peaceful mind" (aql al saleem). There are objective qualities one can possess that will please God. You know the meaning of justice and acting right and being consistent whatever your religion is. And you can act accordingly. If you take that approach, that means you take God's guidance over yours and therefore deserve it. With such peaceful mind, your initiative will be "understanding" the wisdom and reasons behind God's words or plans, because this process will be a guided one. Otherwise, if you say "i'm this and this is what i'm supposed to be" by using your mind to legitimize your position, that is not good. This attitude might be seen cross religiously or within a single religion. Remember the attempts to legitimize homosexuality within religions. About Islam, you say nothing new. If you want to help us to truth, you should address our understanding of Islam, not try to exert on us a wicked understanding of Islam. You are wasting your time. I have not seen here any sound claim against Islam on a theoretical basis. Actually there was one on a theoretical basis (legalism), but it is not sound. We have different understanding of Jesus and original Christianity, but we are not trying to exert this on you. We are addressing the beliefs that you currently hold. Because discussion on outer sources is not fruitful. Btw, this is my last message on this topic, otherwise this will not end. |
