Tempers are running high and everyone should take a few days off, go visit a park or something. Try Yoga! If the Quran was easy to interpret so many people will not be having this many opinions, there would not be many sects and people will have no need to be wound up and start name calling. Now I am not the moderator or anything so you can ask me to shift if you like but when you try to reason with someone and they do not reason then there is a old saying "I pushed, it pushed not. I pulled it pulled not. So I left it be."
Peace

No need for curses brothers. But one should know that impossing ones opinions and translations on others is not going to work. You can only present your findings in the best possible way and leave others to judge and follow the most reasoned. Don't forget you wont be judged collectively, but individually.

Thank you for the reminder of the verses
6135 Say ?My people, work as you see fit, for I too am working. You
will then know to whom will be the punishment of the Hereafter.
The wicked will not succeed.?7310 And be patient over what they say, and depart from them in a
good manner.1585 And We have not created the heavens and the earth and what is
in between except with the truth. And the Hour is coming, so
overlook their faults gracefully.Key words here is "depart from them in a good manner" and "overlook their faults gracefully". No need for circular debate

Peace,
When I ask to butcher to "E-Qata 2 pound of Meat", He would Cut one 2 Lb piece from the whole Cow (The verb action is one action)...Then the Butcher would ask me by saying "Do you want to "Te-Qatta the piece of Meat" into small pieces (the Verb action would be repeated).
Thus, 5-33 refers to repeating the Action of Cutting in order to cut Legs and Hands, and 5-38 refers to Cut one thing (the Hand/s).
538 is refering to hands so your conclusion is incorrect. There are two different words that you are trying to force into the same meaning...The result of which is what we see here.
And as I told you and everyone who wants to use 12-75 as punishment for Thief, you are promoting "Slavery", because that was the Punishment in 12-75.
The punishment for the thief has always been 538 as has been pointed out many times (not 1275). Yet, rather than try to understand the verse correctly by using the Quran, you are trying to force an erronous interpretation using a very faulty knowledge of Arabic and no cross referenceing to similar verses (tarteel) - this is why 1275 comes up, because students of the Quran understand the need to arrange similar subjects/topics together as suggested by God (734) so as not to be miseld into a wrong interpretation.
Finally, 1275 only has slavery to your mindset (the same mind that wants to force a double amputation for theft!). Joseph held his brother in custody for the alleged theft - he did not own him (slavery is never permitted in the Quran).

invoking Allah's curse on your family is a very foolish thing to do, what have they done to deserve this? even if you phrased it in a very clever way?
you are playing with Allah's words...
no matter there is no way i can lean with you because of your approaches which are very unwise, neither people nor me can respond to your lack of logic and lack of rational arguments, and then be threatened with punishments if we do not do so, in fact you are already cursed, in the way you conduct yourself...
and if i were you, i will leave your family away from your dangerous word games...
you indeed are under the influence of a poweful shaitan qareen, and his wiswass makes you think you are unbeatable and closest to God in understanding...
never mind, i have spent enough energy with you, i have other fish to fry...Here how you should do it

My desire, which might dislike certain sever laws of 5-33 & 5-38, is irrelevant when showing the True meanings of God's Messages to the people. Here what would happen to any one who seeks to twist the established meanings of the laws in order to gain the acceptance of his community's cultural and Laws
Our logic about 5-38 punishment is based on the known human rights laws, however, if such laws would change, we would change with it...But does that mean we should change the message of our Lord? Our logic is incomparable to Our Lord's...Our Logic mostly reflects our desire
peace
You say your desire but that's not what i'm talking about. I spoke of reason and logic. They are seperate from desire. For example My desire is to eat more food but my reason tells me i've already had too much. They are completely different are they not?
Desire is more based on pleasure. Reason and logic are based on getting to the truth. With the food example my reason and logic know the truth, my desire may be different.
I acknowledge that sometimes we do not know all truths however
Let's consider your method to this situation (please forgive if my understanding of your method is wrong and correct me)
Ultimately does it not come down to the following when you judge an issue?
- Your interpretation is very likely correct. Let's say 99.9% or even dare you think 100% correct thus ignore reason (not desire)
- your reason is strongly telling you not to do this thus should you wait untill better understanding from the Quran or wait untill it is shown to you in knowledge or experience that upholding a certain issue is the truth.
YOU END UP WEIGHTING THE STRENGTH OF YOUR INTERPRETATION AGAINST THE STRENGTH OF YOUR REASON.
on the one hand, you do not possess knowledge of everything and thus your reason may be wrong but equally you do not possess 100% understanding of the topic in the Quran because equally your reason is limited also.
Don't forget that you used your reason and logic (not desire) to acknowledge the Quran to be divine (truth) Now when you come to understand it should you not give those faculties of getting to the truth a higher priority?
And they nearly diverted you from what We inspired to you so that you would fabricate something different against Us, and then they would have taken you as a friend!
1773And if We had not made you stand firm, you were about to lean towards them a little bit.
1774Then, We would have made you taste double the retribution in this life and double the retribution in death. And then you would not find for yourself any victor against Us.
1775You must understand that i'm not doing this to conform with today's society. If today's society acknoweledged amputation of the hand of thieves make no mistake i would strongly protest against it. For the faculties that God have given me protest against it.
I am uncertain with respect to the relevance of these verses of the Quran which you have quoted but know if you are applying them to free-minds or me as an individual, they can also apply to you.
You should know that i will think of you as a friend regardless of your beliefs provided that they do not clash with you righteousness (compassion, mercy, bravery etc)
If you believe in the amputation then it's concerning because TO CARRY IT OUT, goes again those attributes of righteousness. But as you have not carried such acts out (as far as i know D) Then i consider you a friend in which we disagree on a topic group
Our logic about 5-38 punishment is based on the known human rights laws, however, if such laws would change, we would change with it...But does that mean we should change the message of our Lord? Our logic is incomparable to Our Lord's...Our Logic mostly reflects our desire
I disagree with how you've concluded this. Please read the following carefully and reflect on it
You say our logic is based on human rights laws but our reason and logic have resulted in human rights laws and their bettering. They did not come out of nowehere nor did they just come from someone's desire. Reason and logic is what God gave us to get to the truth with and we are converging towards the truth constantly with respect to human rights.
This is what happens when we ignore our facluties of reasoning in favour of interpretations
In iran, There are cases of women being stoned to death as that is their understanding of Islam (from "obey God and obey the messenger" they reason that they must follow the hadith and sunnah where as in reality they are ignoring their reason)
Most people in Iran are against stoning including the very religious shias. They are prepared to say that that was a practice in those times to avoid such a barbaric act (I base this statement on people i have talked to) however there are also those who decide to be commited more to their belief or interpretations rather than their reason. I wonder if the Quran's meaning of follow their desires applies to these people. I cannot be sure but i think it is. Perhaps desire= the ignoring of your reason and logic for something else. Would you not think that shias or strict sunnis are following their desires?
Our logic and knowledge is as you say incomparible to our Lord's but he gave us them to converge to the truth in all matters including FOLLOWING and understanding THE QURAN.
2371 And if the truth were to follow their desires, then the heavens and the earth and all who are in them would have been corrupted. No, We have come to them with their reminder, but from their reminder they are turning away.
2371You've concluded that our logic is based on desire. I wonder if you think the same of heart and reason
How could we become corrupt if we were to follow our HEART REASON AND LOGIC without deceiving them?
on the other hand you've seen how people become corrupt from ignoring these faculties.Let me know if you still think logic to be desire or logic as a bad thing.
