Christians will be punished and are wicked???...

Have faith Freedom,
I do not understand where you get the notion that I do not acknowledge that God runs everything?
God is existence itself and the flesh is an expression of that existence (energy). Hence God sustains the universe and through this phenomenon the platform is God, so it is right to say that is the doer of everything technically. But the physical creation is an illusion and a test and is not the real realm of God even if it is sustained by God. The purpose of man with their souls is to reject the flesh and approach the spiritual realm. It is on a highly abstract level and it is difficult for materialistically inclined people to grasp the concept. It is talk about a kind of union like a symbiosis with the Creator that is the aim and this is through assimilation and spiritual affinity.
But if a man has spiritual ascension or not it depends wholly on whether the he/she has the right approach to life and the responsibility is on man himself. Through your mistaken conception then you indirectly blames God and it is God's fault that people do not "believe" as you call it. It is entirely a personal matter whether you have faith or not and we are responsible for our own souls.
You make a logical error in these claims.
Plus you give a factual error even in sectarian measures since traditional translations claim that the bad is from ourselves while the good is from God.
I am fully aware of the sectarian perception of Islam and I am propagating against it by researching on it myself on a morpheme level and also by pointing out logical errors and inconsistency in the mainstream interpretation. My understanding and work is difficult for me of course because when I discover an error somewhere in the understanding of an individual word I have masses of work because I cause a chain reaction throughout the whole scripture and it often appears I am wrong because this work creates incomprehension in current translations/interpretations. I must both argue the new discovery plus turn erroneous passages right or else no one will believe me. It is a tedious task.
But unless you change the perception and method in your approach to Qur'an then this talk about my discoveries is obviously futile. You rely heavily on available dictionaries apparently oblivious to the probability that they are biased and inaccurate. And I discovered a method of exposing false/incorrect interpretations by realizing that Arabic (as well as Hebrew) is based on a letter system which creates its words right out of the very letters. The order and combination of letters utilized in an Arabic word determines its meaning, plus the attached affixes which modifies the word but still based on the innate meaning of the letters. And exclusively all Arabic words work out from a trilateral root unless they are less sophisticated. Each "slot" where the letter occurs in the trilateral word gives a different feature to the final definition of the word.
and , for example, contain the exact same letters but in a different order and the order is very important for the meaning.
What led me to this conclusion about the innate letter meaning was the so-called Quranic initials, particularly in chapter 38 and 68 the letters are followed by a conjunction indicating that the first letter is supposed to carry its own meaning in the context.
Of course most people reject this as whims and desires, but it has helped me tremendously in understanding individual Arabic words. I argue that I can get a more or less 100% accurate definition using this technique. And Arabic words do only have one meaning compared to the mainstream scholars argue that they can have a handful of meanings.
I was looking at the word last night and its occurrences and I can tell it does not have to do at all with some hidden garden since the word is used for any perceived garden in the discourse. While it does not give relationship to the Jinn word, it still shows that you cannot justify 'hidden' using Jannaat. I cannot but make a qualified guess at this time, but it appears that the Jinn word refers to someone who is fleshly/earthly, probably due to that they cannot see more than their eyes can see. It could be why the garden is referred to by the same root usage due to the function and features of a garden. You may be right that the word does not directly mean faithless even if the person who is jinn is indirectly faithless. The literal translation of the two letters in combination is 'lowly entity' but it could probably also be understood as 'earthbound entity', i.e. someone who is attached to the fleshly illusion of this world.
I sense that you are not open to this discussion, but perhaps someone else is and reads this. It is too abstract and farfetched for most people it seems.
Commentary about your posted passages
Why do you think I argue against this notion?
This is true, but you have to give your own efforts as well. You do not enjoy a free-ride. Although I dispute the authenticity of the Corinthians part of the New Testament.
If you understood this passage you would understand that it speaks of avoiding materialism. Satan is tempting Jesus to indulge in the flesh.
Who would argue this notion but fools?
It is a rhetorical question.
And the curse is due to your behavior and spiritual neglect. How many are not the sectarian Muslims who believe in a Pagan-style religion?
Yes. And do you understand how? The people were probably jinns and very fleshly and the energy that the universe is made from is in ultimate control by God. Controlling these people are like controlling animals, i.e. easy, without intending to be insulting. I mean if you indulge and live a life in the flesh you succumb to it.
I was intending to answer many passages, but I noticed that you parroted so many of them.
I am still curious of how you (ab)use this to say God is responsible for everything. It is a logical error and it innately puts the blame on God and also we are living this live redundantly, i.e. it is meaningless. God is the foundation and responsible for the "platform", but we are responsible for what we do with it. You have the responsibility yourself for spiritual growth and attaining faith. No one will do that for you, not even God.
By this I take it that you consider yourself better spiritually "guided" than I? Thanks for your efforts anyway. But I think you are unfocused on the essence of faith and what emphasis to have. And you misrepresent Jesus since that man was stern against Paganism and formed his expressions based on this to avoid misunderstanding the nature of God. And since he was in assimilation/symbiosis with God he said "My words are not my own but of the one who sent me". The reason why he avoided using the word God (Elohim in his language) was due to this fact and he used Father instead which is supposed to indicate Creator. Jesus was fully aware of the "commandments" which says that "you should not make an image of anything in Heaven or Earth and use it in worship". It includes any image you paint in your mind to represent God. And what Jesus taught was spiritual assimilation and he emphasized on the symbiotic relationship between Creator and Creation.
Salaam
I get the notion because you said somewhere earlier that God does not interfere with the "simulation" and implied it "runs on its own" and continue to imply "we do what we will" and that we are the controllers of our actions and determiners of our fate, as if you made yourself born, as if you decide when you die, as if you do anything. Also, if you want to meet your Lord, you can simply end your life, if you have the power to do so. Then you will rid yourself of the flesh you seem to dislike, and you will assimilate with God who is like nothing.
"Plus you give a factual error even in sectarian measures since traditional translations claim that the bad is from ourselves while the good is from God."

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you - even though you be in towers raised high. "Yet, when a good thing happens to them, some say, "This is from God," whereas when evil befalls them, they say, "This is from thee !? Say "All is from God."

and that it is He alone who causes to laugh and to weep;10107
If Allah afflicteth thee with some hurt, there is none who can remove it save Him; and if He desireth good for thee, there is none who can repel His bounty.

So who said the letter J and the letter N and the letter N again means this, or that the letter J itself means what you say.
Do you know how language works? Why can't you talk to a non-muslim linguist so maybe they can teach you how language actually works.
Words are arbitrary designations of symbols that attach to concepts, the concepts they attach to are the definitions of the word. You don't figure out what the word DOG means by taking a D and saying D means whatever you make it up to mean, and then O and then make up some meaning for O (where do you get these meanings?) and G means this (and make it up from where? Then say "DOG" means what this combination means. No, that is not how language works at all, Dog are letters, letters represent sounds, the combination represent a sound combination for a word, Dog, Dawg, Dogh, the spelling isn't even relevant, it is the definition that is relevant, so if someone says "Dog means the color blue" they have defined that arbitrary set as meaning blue, so then in some language the sound and word Dog can mean blue, based on its definition. Dog has the definition in English of referring habitually to the dog animal, canine, do you understand? If you say "no the D means dirty, the O means Open, the g means gate, Dog means dirty opened gate" people will say, fine, YOU are making that definition for it, in your weird method, but the common folk living in the real world use the term to refer to the canine animal in the English language. This is how language works.
So who tells you what the "J" means and what the N means? and what the N means again? You based your etymology on "Gen" and "Gentile" thinking it is a Hebrew word, it is not a Hebrew word at all, and the root, often transliterated as GNN in Hebrew, has the same meaning as JNN. How do we know what the root refers to? We look at what it has been designated to refer to, language has no inherent meaning, we look at examples of what it has been used to refer to, that is the same as how we understand the word DOG, the word DOG has no meaning, its the definition, people have designated it to refer to that animal, and so you look back to see how people were using it, you don't say that all the books talking about dogs are talking about dirty opened gates because you say so and have discovered some amazing secret by saying each letter has a definition which (you make up, or who makes up?).
Trust me, I don't doubt a word you say, I believe every word you say is from God and that you are probably genuinely convinced of this "discovery" thus is God's power over you infinitely strong, even if you don't realize it

Hmm.. fair enough. But I think you made a point that this verse doesn't refer to Christians as I don't hear them say God is the Messiah and neither do I hear them say God is a third of 3... It would be more that God is a manifestation in 3 forms as you said, the father the son and the spirit. In fact, I think 99% of religions that have multiple "Gods" don't see them as separate deities as such. It's like they might say the God of love and God of hate.. really, they most likely acknowledge that they all form one supreme God. I don't think that believing in such a way is "bad" as long as there is an acknowledgement of that following a system of justice, kindness and universal human rights is the ultimate system they should be following. People say believe in the one God... But what is God? That you cannot answer... Though you can describe its attributes. If God encapsules the sun, moon, sea, land etc, then what are we told to believe in? When God speaks of shirk, is it really about multiple Gods? Yes, serving something that doesn't harm nor benefit you is pointless, and I dislike pagans for this, but there is something deeper as to why shirk is condemned... As armaniz pointed out, shirk is described as unforgivable. People who say God is a third of 3 can be forgiven, so is this shirk? I think not...
But is shirk something that "diverts" you from the straight path to "God"? I.e. following your own desires and ego and arrogance, strutting the earth like the unbeatable, like you have power to deceive and make people follow your own ideas, your own religion, brainwash people to satisfy your insecure needs of power. To me that is shirk, people who are simply ignorant to the truth have an obligation to not be ignorant and seek truth as well as possible, but those who cover the truth, who know the truth but speak lies and falsities to gain power and brainwash and cause corruption and oppression, these are the rejectors, the kafara...
If I am wrong, May I stand corrected.
Peace
Salaam Sushi,
You may have noticed, the Qur'an, does not or mainly does not condemn people by atnia or religion or whatever distinction, but by what they do or do not do. It is the people themselves who put themselves in the slot by their actions and ommissions. It is not that God takes a collective and pronnounces slavation or condemnation.
Want it or not we are the heroes of our own battles. putting on ourselves a label is doing nothing for us. Or even ahdering innocently out of a sense of loyalty to a label, is going to do nothing for us.
As to what the Christians say I merely pointed out certain things, concerning the formulation in the Qur'an and concenring my actual observation of facts as I have come to known them, and I did that for the sake of clarity.
I think I mentionned in this thread, if not in another one, one saying, may be a hadith, but I really cannot remember which goes
Shirk is when you fear other than God.
There you have it. Shirt is in us, we fear many things, porbably more than God. Not falling into shirk is our daily battle. It is not something that happens to people who have this or that image and bend in front of it though of course that applies to it too, it is in us. It is a matter of growing in certainty.
My own idea of religions and more pricesely that of the anciente egyptions and that of Aztecs, for me it is undoubtedly monotheist, but the names of God, which we learn in the Qur'an, are formulated somehow else. I do not much about religion of the anciente egyptians but it comes accross to me as very spiritual and real understanding of rahma and justice. As to the old azte religion, that I am 100% it was monotheist. They had very clear concept of the unity of Go and of the infinite manifestations, in degrees, like, the had what is purported in other religions to be our earliest fathers for them, to put it in "pagan" language, which they did not use, it was first manifestations down the scale of them; godess-2, go-2, that is first their a manifestation in the splitting of two, then three, whatever number you care, and that is why, the same as the names of God in the Qur'an which grated into one another, the deities graded into one another, that is the same one turned another one under certain conditions.
In spite of it all, and just as happens with every people in the world, the tendency to give too much weight to the manifestations or the saints or the deceased prophets, or whatever, is always there. God, abstract idea of God may be too much for people to get close too and they become attached to Saint Rit, or whatever... But that I think happens in every religion, because it is in the persons themselves. Others worship their beloved one, make him or her the foundation of everything...
And I already pointed out the three enemies of the soul of the chatholic catchism world, devil and flesh, they are like a trinity of evil that many of us worship, sometimes we fall more for one or two of the three, but any one you fall in love with will lead to your undoing.
Then, there is another aspect, and it is the passional aspect. Many people may have a funny mental idea of Godness, but as far as feeling, passion, is concerned, they are right, they are compassionate, fair and just to a fault, selfless self-giving. The mental for them is not the ruler, so they in fact are right and truthful. Let us not forget the names of God. Your mentl idea may be off, but while you are compassionate and act so for others, in fsct you are fully woshipping the Compassionate, just as you worship the Ghafur, when you forgive others...
For those religions which had human or animal or things representations of the names of God, what is important is the real pressence of the essence of man, if a human representation of a virtue inspires the person to be the qualities represented by the human representation, wll and good. I think for instance, of Isis, ?what a moving story! and what stimulus to be perseverant in doing good and trusting God in a quest for giving self for the life of others... It supposed it is an allegory, but a very moving and effective one.
Labels do not make a good or bad person, sincerity and good deeds do.
Salaam

Freedom,
You have serious interpretation problems, in reading what I write.
You seem to see it as if God is nothing to me and I do not understand from where you get this notion. And you write that I can take my life and well I would if I could.
It is not about distaste for this world, it is just that this world is a mere illusion and not really the real world. Fleshly indulgence is the trap of this world.
And I said God runs the world as a kind of simulation although God sustains it. It is a "platform" that is dependent on God and God is the sole Administrator.
And are you going to blame God for you unrighteously laughing at me? You have already been disrespectful against the God you make into such image.
And if you think qatal means fight then you are on really thin ice. You missed the point completely.
I have the deepest respect for my 'Rabb', but I do not involve God in unrighteousness.

I think you might be mistaken, I'm the one who says God is like nothing. You seem to believe in some abstract realm that you hope to will yourself to assimilate with, I believe God is Annihilation, Death, Absolute Non-Information, so can not be experienced directly, but creates all information, but can not be "assimilated with" or become a "co-creator with" (I know you aren't saying the co-creator thing), but when you cease to experience any information and are thus not individuated by a set of information you are experiencing as "yourself" it is called "returning to God" but "you" can't experience that, as there is nothing at all to experience, God is not made of information, God creates all information, and God is only One, nothing can be partnered with it, everything is information and fettered and bound by God to do as God wills, God animates all aspects of this shimmering curtain, and behind the curtain is Nothing but Annihilation.

God is the source of the good and the bad, if you read the numerous quotes I provided from the Bible, you might see the same message there as well. Lord of Evil, Master of Good, King of Devils, who binds and fetters all wills, ALL CREATIONS, EVEN THE CREATION CALLED "unrighteousness" is from GOD, don't let your piety make you blasphemy (but you will say as God bids you to say).
God sends the delusion on people, the Bible says so too. God makes them fight, God hardens their hearts, God makes them say what they say, it is all God, the Bible says it, the Qur'an says it, the Old Testament says it, the New Testament says it, and I showed so many verses, why not take a peak? Surely you can will yourself to do it, no? You can never do it, unless Allah wills you to do it

Congratulations then Freedom. Unfortunately it does seem like a hypocritical statement because God is an image according to your ways of presenting God to me. Your understanding of God is heavily materialized. God is not an image representation of an object whatsoever to me so it is a kind of unfounded accusation you come up with.
God sustains everything and is the only "entity" in existence and we are part of that existence. We should be an integral part of it and that does not mean indulgence in the illusive flesh, because that is not the real reality. A jinn is a worldly person who has not understood the importance in life.
Unrighteousness is not from God. Stop humiliating God will you?
There is a reason why God carries the adjective Al-Rahman in the beginning of nearly every chapter right after Allah. It suggest strongly a good foundation.
And even in sectarian interpretations it is written that all the bad is from yourselves.

But it seems like you like the passivity of your faith and could it be that it shows in your personal representation. It is not a help to your salvation to think you cannot affect your fate, because you can. It is called willpower and the right path is to aim for anti-materialism and work on your spiritual self.
All this, is only to prove or make manifest who it is who really Surrenders.
Indeed it does. You have surrendered to passivity, have you not? Because you do not have to care about anything for God controls you, does God not? If you make fun of me then God did it and not you? Talk about disrespect towards your foundation.

I am the one who says that God is not any information, literally no image, and you seem to say that God is a spiritual realm perhaps and that you are a co-creator with God perhaps, or can be (and even if you do not say this directly, you say it in the following way) by saying that You create your destiny, You create your fate, You create your own decisions, You will a thing and You make it happen, that Allah only supports what You decide, that Allah is thus like a Servant that does Your Will. So that when You decide to stand up, Allah make it so by supporting YOUR decisions, NO. You do not command Allah, Allah commands you, if Allah makes you stand up, you will stand up, even if you think the thoughts are your own, those thoughts came from Allah, they are information created by Allah, all events are created by Allah, if Allah wills you to stand, you will stand.
Everything in the Heavens and the Earth obeys Allah and is submissive to his will, willingly or unwillingly, there is never any choice, no "free will" except Allah who wills freely, who is not bound to his promises, his words, or justice, but does and creates whatever, and can change it in an instant.
You try to make yourself a God with Allah, by saying that You decide things, and Allah follows and upholds you and your decisions. Then you literally also say and imagine what seems like "experiencing God" or "Being God" when God is NOT INFORMATION, there is NOT ANYTHING TO BE EXPERIENCED, it is Non-information because God was BEFORE INFORMATION and CREATES INFORMATION, there was not INFORMATION WITH GOD, it is GOD who created it in the first place, and God is not made of any information so CAN NOT BE EXPERIENCED IN ANY WAY DIRECTLY, and what "you" are is what God tells you you are, and what you do is what God tells you you do, and what you think is what God tells you you think, and you "return to Allah" when you cease to experience information, thus you are nothing, non-existent, and have no experience, and that whole thing is "skipped" because "non-information" can not be experienced, and the next thing you know will be information again. So if there is an Abstract Spiritual Realm as you imagine THAT TOO IS INFORMATION MADE BY GOD, All your experiences no matter what they may be are information, and only God is not made of information and is like nothing at all, not empty space, not black or white, like nothing at all, except that God creates all information, which is what YOU are, what YOU do, those are ALL creations of Allah, every moment you experience information that information is God's creation, EVERYTHING YOU SEE AND THINK AND HEAR AND DO AND EVERYTHING THAT IS PROVEN AND MADE MANIFEST is information created by Allah only, there is no other creator, you do not create your thoughts, you do not create your deeds, you do not create ANYTHING WHATSOEVER NOR CAN YOU DO ANYTHING EXCEPT AS ALLAH WILLS YOU TO DO, so it will be made manifest and proven as to WHAT YOU ARE, and some are CREATED FOR HELL others CREATED FOR PARADISE according to the Qur'an, and you have NO CHOICE ABOUT THAT, it is with will of ALLAH alone.
Thank you!

But it seems like you like the passivity of your faith and could it be that it shows in your personal representation. It is not a help to your salvation to think you cannot affect your fate, because you can. It is called willpower and the right path is to aim for anti-materialism and work on your spiritual self.
Indeed it does. You have surrendered to passivity, have you not? Because you do not have to care about anything for God controls you, does God not? If you make fun of me then God did it and not you? Talk about disrespect towards your foundation.
Salaam
I'm pretty sure you're the one who said God passively supports whatever you decide in the simulation, and I am the one who said in response to that, that God's power is active.
Surrender is willingly or unwillingly always the case, we are only either given the realization or not given the realization. See if you can earn your way to paradise. You will not be able to accomplish it, save if Allah wills. Do you ignore all those verses I show you?

Please check out these verses from the Bible as well if you can

will ALWAYS judge in fairness and equality. Justice will be served, I have no fear about that.
Justice will be served? Allah will be served, and Allah makes up whatever is justice, and can change it. Fairness and equality are also the creations of Allah, Allah does not serve them, they serve Allah, and Allah can change them entirely.
These are called "partners" (which is what shirk means). The "gods" of the past had these same names, "Justice" "Fairness" "Honor" "Love" "Equality", and people would comfort themselves by saying that God is bound to each, partnered with each, that God is bound to do justice "ALWAYS" as you said, and whatever else. Thus they would feel safe with their lie they imagined, and they would not have felt that way or experienced that comfort, except that Allah willed it to be so. The fear of Allah is an extremely important part of the Surrender.
Allah is not fettered to justice, nor fairness, nor honor, nor love, nor equality, nor balance, nor time, nor any of his various creations which are all just information Allah creates and animates, just like you and makes you believe what you do.
If you find that you are not afraid of Allah, then you are not experiencing what the Qur'an says a Muslim should be experiencing (I am not saying you are not a Muslim).
So I try to show you and give my speeches so that you might refine your religion, even as I refine mine.

Freedom,
No I do not ignore them. But either you just quote them out of context or they are poorly translated.
God supports or not, God has given respite to the beast, so people are let to live their lives. If God knows the outcome and decides whether we "believe" or not then the test is quite redundant, do you not think?
The test is where we put our preferences and whether we choose to be worldly or spiritual.
Have you ever tried to apply logic to your reasoning?

You say God decides you stand up. Okay.
Do you say that God makes you laugh sarcastically at me or that you lie or lose your peace too?
I find that you are disrespectful to God and you are a bit confused about the matter of God.

I never said I laughed sarcastically at you, I said I find your name amusing and I liked it. I don't think I really literally laughed either, I've been silent this whole time, but the laughter, if it ever occurred, or the joy, was inside, not out of hubris.
To me, you're nothing but what Allah makes you to be, it isn't your fault, it is the responsibility of Allah alone. You're as pathetic as me, even if you don't realize it, all information is equal in its humbleness before God, none can defy God, the sun is no more powerful before God than any of us, so it is our brother, and has no authority over us, only God has authority over everything we do.
Correct the wrong things I say.
If I made some speech where I said I'm laughing at you, I didn't really laugh at you literally as far as I know, but I find your name to be funny and amusing. Man of Faith vs FreedomStands, and that I'm the one who is totally opposed to the idea of Freedom for myself, and I am the one who lacks all faith but might seem so blind in what I'm saying. These are the jokes of Allah, Allah makes us all a joke if Allah wills.

There is no "test" as if Allah doesn't decide or doesn't know. There is only "proving" and "making manifest", to "prove a thing", "make it apparent", that means "creating" Allah only "makes" it revealed or manifest or exist, Allah is not ignorant or "seeing how it plays out" as if besides Allah there is "luck" or "chance" or "random results" or Allah is rolling dice and doesn't control all outcomes.
Whose religion is better? Mine or yours? If you think yours is better, then can you explain why you think that? Why do you think it is better that you think I'm blaspheming perhaps by saying Allah is the King of all Evil and controls all harm and benefit to you, and you seem to be saying that Allah "leaves it to chance" to "see if they do this or that" and doesn't control it, as if "chance" is a factor, a partner to Allah, and as if the people each have their own power to will anything.
Even though Allah will decide between us, don't you think my way and what I say is far better than yours? If not, please explain why not.
