Muhammad not mentioned in the Koran...

Peace Apple Pie,

you stated

Your reply revolves around a distain for the Biblical concept of a Uniplural Creator entity that transcends time itself.

I appreciate the psychological analysis, but I'm afraid you're way off base. I have no disdain for your faith. But I do choose, rationally, to reject the concept. God has given us the ability to reason. It makes no sense that one must ignore reason in attempting to understand the nature of God. The word "Uniplural" is a perfect example of this, as it is an oxymoron, via an invented word that combines two opposites.

Ironically, the Islamic bias that surrounds the Biblical concept of the Trinity is entirely fabricated out of misunderstanding of the Muslim book of faith.

Of course that is your auto-response, and the very bias which leads you erratically from lexicon to fantasy, which in turn, leaves the reader wondering how someone with intelligence can veer so far from simple comprehension.

What you're doing, essentially, is clouding your own vision with your prejudice. Your mission should have been for truth, Apple Pie, but it is not, as you so readily admit.

It is a shame that too many Muslims are bent on following Islam instead of their book of faith?

The shame is in the power of indoctrination. I would hope that God will forgive you for your bias, since it is no fault of your own. You were taught to ignore logic as a fundamental of your faith, and this consequently crippled your ability to think rationally. Hence, a life wasted trying to make sense of it all.

It's become clear that your crusade against Islam has nothing to do with following the footsteps of Isa, but more to do with finding something for your mind to focus on, to keep you distracted from the apparent inharmony between mind and soul.

This discord cannot be healed by attacking others, Apple Pie. You're only making it worse. Reflect.

3105 Be not like those who separated and differed after the clear proofs of Truth had come to them. For such there is an awful doom since they cause divisions instead of unity.

417 Allah graciously accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance, and then return quickly to the right conduct. Allah turns to them in Mercy. He is the Knower, the Wise.

577 Say, ?O People of the Book! Do not overstep the bounds of Truth in your religious beliefs. And do not follow the errant views of people who have gone astray long before, and led a great many others astray, and those who are still straying from the Even Way.

May you find you way,
Tay

Greetings ApplePie,

You have access to the exact same extant manuscript evidence as I do. It is not something within my reach exclusively. This way, you can acknowledge or yoursel what I said here and you cannot claim is something that I manipulated or that you have no way of verifying for yourself (because I know that you will pull that stunt).

You sound reluctant to look for yourself

Once again, you have chosen to ignore the point. I already have looked for myself and I am convinced of what I have come across. It is YOU who is reluctant to look. Read the statement again friend....

ApplePie, dishonesty is a very stinky perfume. The entire Sura 86 is a small summary of the life journey beginning with it's clot existence all the way to the day of resurrection. This Sura has nothing to do With Jesus whatsoever.

Digest this

http//www.free-minds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=28737#28737

I have digested it and I am now spitting it right back out. Someone here at this forum (or maybe it's 19.org forum) has a signature quote that says It takes a Unique Mind to be able to analyze The Obvious.

As you yourself have noted, the name "Jesus" is mentioned eighty something times in The Quran. When The Quran is speaking about Jesus, then we would know it because The Quran would mention Jesus. My friend, please show me one verse in sura 86 that has the name of Jesus mentioned there. Just one.

Sura 86 is definately speaking on the concept of death, resurrection and judgement catching the wordly minded by surprise. Because of the Christian concept of Jesus coming Like a thief in the night, you wish to carry that concept from the Bible and apply it to The Quran. And now you wish to impose this concept and interpretation to sura 86. No dice!! Unless and until you can show the verse in this Sura that is mentioning Jesus, this sura will remain as it is.....a warning to mankind that The One who gave Life and maintains it will take it away from us one day and will judge as to how we have utilised this precious gift called life.

I personally like to think of myself as a fair, open-minded individual. I hear what you're saying. Here's what I ask of you....

Can you provide me with a couple of passages from The Quran and give me your views as to why you believe these passages point to a Tri-une element of The One GOD? What I will do is look at these passages myself and try to view them from your perspective.

If it's there, it's there. If it's not there, then it's not there. No big deal. But I do know that there are still many questions (by many people) regarding GOD using the plural term WE for Himself.

Of course, if you are willing to provide these passages, I cannot immediately get back to you because I will have to take the time to seriously and un-biasly examine them.

I think I know what you're getting at, but it is my goal to see if that picture emerges or if it makes any sense at all based on The Quran Alone.

Done

Greetings Andya Primanda,

Thanks for your reply?

Is it so hard? One does not equal three. Jesus is not God. He's a man. A man can't be God.

Your scriptures paint a different story?

Only Christians accept this illogical doctrine. Muslims and Jews can do the maths better 1 3.

You are preaching the Islamic mentality?

Perhaps the Koranic mentality is the one that you need to preach.

Besides, I thought the premise that made the Christian concept of Jesus as God is that Jesus comes as a saviour to redeem humankind's sins? This is something we don't believe in.

?We? is who?.Islam?.

We don't believe in the doctrine of original sin. We don't believe in the fall of humankind. We don't carry the sins of our ancestors. We believe that Adam has been forgiven. Therefore, we don't need a saviour.

Can you bring forth Koranic scripture to back up what you believe?.? wink

Ergo, the crucifixion and death of Jesus is not important to us.

It was to the authors who penned the Koranic text, as we know it today?

Quote
Quote
then the Bible would also be teaching strict monotheism, not trinitarianism.

Back to the audience seat.

Ironically?.the authors of the Koran get the ONE God concept from the Holy Bible.

This is quite a new status for the god allah, as this fictitious entity has its roots in pagan Arab god worship?

The authors of the Koran have simply attempted to wrap the pagan Arab god allah with the Biblical deity ascribed unto Jesus, from centuries prior.

They even copied-over the Biblical concept of the ONE God as a triune entity?

If this is true, then why did the Qur'an managed to assert that trinity is blasphemy?

Surely if it only want to parrot the bible, it would endorse trinity. But no, we read the Qur'an and it said the concept of trinity is blasphemy.

The ?blasphemy? is to take Jesus, Mary, and ?allah? as the Trinity?

This is NOT what the Trinity is?.hence, the authors of the Koran are correct in stating that this rendition is indeed a ?blasphemy??

Understand?.?

You need to read your Koran in context?.in order to understand the authors? intended messages?

So your choices are

If the Qur'an parrots the bible , then the bible does not endorse the concept of trinity.
But if the bible endorse the concept of trinity , the the Qur'an do not parrot the bible.

First of all, it is fact that the authors of the Koran parrot the Holy Bible. They said that they did. Unless, of course, you are challenging what they stated?

Secondly, we can see that the authors of the Koran tell us what the Trinity is not, in sura 5?.and then demonstrated to us what it is in other parts of the Koran?

Who would have guessed??

Then we are in agreement?.there are NO extant ?original? Koran?s in existence anywhere in the entire known world?.the oldest copies are mere fragments of suras dated to a century after the supposed life and times of Islam?s ?prophet??

Proverbs 299 a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, no rest.

salam guys,

do you still think his goal is anything other than getting under our skins? the "seeking knowledge" excuse is obviously some bizarre ploy, since he has completely rejected any advice or knowledge imparted to him.

The only treatment for someone of that low a calibre is to completely ignore him, until he shows a shred of rational thought which in his case would begin with an apology to the Muslims here for his behavior. There are shayateen in this world who feed off of arguing and causing strife and irritation. Why continue to feed them?

2111 And they say "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."

2120 Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say to them "The Guidance of God,-that is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against God.

Is it so hard? One does not equal three. Jesus is not God. He's a man. A man can't be God.

Your scriptures paint a different story?

Oh is it? Then why does it contain these verses

4171
You The Book's people, do not exaggerate/exceed the limit in your religion, and do not say on God except the truth , but the Messiah, Jesus, Mary's son is God's messenger and His word/expression He threw it away to Mary, and a Soul/Spirit from Him; so believe with God, and His messengers, and do not say "Three." Stop (it is) best for you, but God (is) one God, His praise/glory that to be for him a child; for Him what (is) in the skies/space and what (is) in the earth/Planet Earth, enough/sufficient with God (as a) guardian/protector .

517
Those who said "That God, He is the Messiah Mary's son." had disbelieved, say "So who owns/possesses from God a thing, if He wanted that He destroys the Messiah, Mary's son, and his mother, and who (is) in the earth/Planet Earth all together? And to God (are) the skies/space and what (is) between them (B)'s ownership/kingdom , He creates what He wills/wants, and God (is) on every thing capable ."

572
Those who said "That God, He is the Messiah Mary's son," had disbelieved, and the Messiah, said "You, Israel's sons and daughters, worship God, my Lord and your Lord, that he who shares/makes partners with God, so He had forbidden on him the Paradise, and his shelter/refuge (is) the fire , and (there are) no victoriors/saviors to the unjust/oppressors."

573
Those who said "That God a third of three." had disbelieved, and there is no God except one God, and if they do not end/stop from what they say, a painful torture will touch (E) those who disbelieved from them.

The whole chapter 112
Say, "He is God, The One. God on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And none is His equal."

Only Christians accept this illogical doctrine. Muslims and Jews can do the maths better 1 3.

Perhaps the Koranic mentality is the one that you need to preach.

I'll be preaching the same thing then. Even if you ask me to preach Judaic mentality it'll still be the same 1 3. God is One, not three. Jesus is not God.

Besides, I thought the premise that made the Christian concept of Jesus as God is that Jesus comes as a saviour to redeem humankind's sins? This is something we don't believe in.

?We? is who?.Islam?.

Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, everyone but Christians.

We don't believe in the doctrine of original sin. We don't believe in the fall of humankind. We don't carry the sins of our ancestors. We believe that Adam has been forgiven. Therefore, we don't need a saviour.

Can you bring forth Koranic scripture to back up what you believe?.?

So the devil inspired and talked to him, he said "You Adam, do I guide you on to the immortality's/eternity's tree, and possession and free will/kingdom (that) does not wear out?"
So they ate from it, so their shameful genital private parts to be covered appeared to them, and they started and continued to stick on them from the Paradise's leaves, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so he was misguided/failed.
Then His Lord chose/purified him, so He forgave on him, and guided

We do not carry the sins of others

5.116 And when allah said "You Jesus Mary's son, did you say to the people 'Take me and my mother (as) two gods from other than allah?' He (Jesus) said 'Your praise/glory, (it) is not to be for me that I say what is not for me with (a) right/truth, if I was (had) said it, so You had known it, You know what (is) in my self, and I do not know what (is) in Your self, that You, You (are) all knower (of) the unseens/hidden (unknown).'"

Say, "He is God, The One. God on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And none is His equal."

Additionally, the authors who penned this text have used the Biblical gospel material and are stating that the ?god allah? of the Koran was not created, and that he does not give birth?.which is a clear knock ? off of the Book of Luke in which the Koran also states that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Sura 112 is once again a Biblical confirmation that there is only One God.

This is what makes Christians seem so illogical to me. You said there is only one God. But you claim that God is God, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God. What part of '1 does not equal 3' do you not understand?

Or, if you agree with our monotheism, you should know that there is only one God, and Jesus is not God.

Gone through every verse you quoted. I can't find any original sin there.

I am now more cognizant of what the Qur'an teaches. It teaches me 'That there is no such thing as the original sin.'

Get it? No original sin, no need for a saviour.

No need to worship Jesus.

It appears that you are attempting to make 1+1+1 = 1

Now try 1x1x1 = 1

Islamic monotheism has absolutely nothing to do with Koranic monotheism.

Koranic monotheism proclaims Jesus as God Almighty.

Sound familiar?..?

Looks like you need to become more cognizant of what your Koran teaches instead of what Islam is force-feeding you?.

Gone through every verse you quoted. I can't find any original sin there.

I am now more cognizant of what the Qur'an teaches. It teaches me 'That there is no such thing as the original sin.'

Get it? No original sin, no need for a saviour.

No need to worship Jesus.

Let?s quickly review your Islamic-based claims?

You now realize that the Koranic concept of the ?trinity? was to denounce the false claim that Jesus, Mary, and ?allah? where the ?third of three??hence paving the way for the Koran to correctly proclaim other elements of the Biblical Trinity?
You claimed ?We don't believe in the fall of humankind.? However, I showed you several ayahs from your Koran that clearly show the fall of mankind?.same as its source, the Holy Bible?
You claimed ?We don't believe in the doctrine of original sin.? However, it is clear that the Adamic story has its roots in the Book of Genesis, where it is clear that Adam sinned and all offspring are sinners. Additionally, the zaboor proclaims that we are born into sin.
You claimed ?No need to worship Jesus.? However, sura 86 states that Jesus is God, and that He is worshiped as God.

Hence?.if you are denying these things, then you are calling into question the authors of the Koran?

What?s it going to be??Islam?..or your book of faith?..?

Thanks?

Apple Pie,

Your last reply to me contains a flaw, namely, assuming the Bible is true in the first place.

Since I don't believe that the Bible is 100% true, and I use the Qur'an to verify what parts of the Bible that is/was true and what is not, I see the whole matter in a different way.

Whatever you may think about my thoughts on surah 5 verses, the message is There is only One God. Claiming that God is someone other than God is equating partners with God, and this is blasphemy. So I would not say that 'God is God, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God'.

The Qur'an never say Jesus is God. At many instances it is shown that Jesus is God's messenger. A messenger is not God. And I am not convinced your exegesis of surah 86, which you claim proves the divinity of Jesus. Everyone here know that Jesus wasn't even mentioned in surah 86, and you just twist words to suit your agenda.

You say that the Qur'an approves the concept of the original sin. I show verses that say Adam has been forgiven, and we do not carry the burden of others. But you ignore these and come up with the idea that if parts of Genesis show up in the Qur'an, it must be the same as in the Bible. I don't give a damn to what Genesis says. What matters to me first is how the Qur'an tells the story--and it tells me, 'No original sin, no fall of humankind, no need for a saviour'.

Yes, I am denying your claims, and I base my stance on the verses of the Qur'an.

It is apparent that we are using different standards of truth here, I use the Qur'an, and you use the Bible. Hence our differing viewpoints. I see no way out, except leaps of faith. Therefore furthering this argument may be pointless.

We don't need Jesus as our saviour. We will work towards our salvation ourselves. Don't bother selling Jesus to us.

Greetings Andya Primanda,

Thanks for your reply?

Your last reply to me contains a flaw, namely, assuming the Bible is true in the first place.

Why deny the authors who penned the Koran??

They understood the truth of the Holy Bible?.that leaves you the odd one out? wink

Since I don't believe that the Bible is 100% true, and I use the Qur'an to verify what parts of the Bible that is/was true and what is not, I see the whole matter in a different way.

Since the Koran never once mentions that the written word of the Holy Bible to be in error in any way, shape, or form?.and since the Koran never once claims to ?correct? any of its source material?..you really have no leg to stand on?.and you are letting Islam do the talking for you?.again?

Whatever you may think about my thoughts on surah 5 verses, the message is There is only One God. Claiming that God is someone other than God is equating partners with God, and this is blasphemy. So I would not say that 'God is God, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God'.

Looks like you want to continue to turn your head and cough?.totally ignoring the context of the same sura which tells us of Jesus, Mary, and ?allah? as the third of three?

The Qur'an never say Jesus is God.

Wrong.

The Koran is overflowing with the proclamation that Jesus is God.

At many instances it is shown that Jesus is God's messenger. A messenger is not God.

Jesus is known by many attributes?.as a messenger, a prophet, as well as God Almighty in BOTH the Holy Bible and the Koran.

If you want to understand who Jesus is, then you have to look at the totality of His attributes?

Unfortunately, Islam has a stranglehold on most Muslims and totally discourages their freethinking on the matter?including looking at all the available evidences?

Islam is a classic dictatorship faith?

Ignorance and oppression is the name of the Islamic game?

And I am not convinced your exegesis of surah 86, which you claim proves the divinity of Jesus. Everyone here know that Jesus wasn't even mentioned in surah 86, and you just twist words to suit your agenda.

Feel free to directly rebut ANY portion of my sura 86 exegesis?.if you are confident in what you just stated.

Unfortunately?.you are not very confident?as you understand that my exegesis is absolutely unimpeachable?

You say that the Qur'an approves the concept of the original sin. I show verses that say Adam has been forgiven, and we do not carry the burden of others. But you ignore these and come up with the idea that if parts of Genesis show up in the Qur'an, it must be the same as in the Bible. I don't give a damn to what Genesis says. What matters to me first is how the Qur'an tells the story--and it tells me, 'No original sin, no fall of humankind, no need for a saviour'.

The Arabic of the Koran loudly and proudly copies the Holy Bible, and proclaims the fall of mankind and original sin.

Unfortunately, you don?t bother to study the classic Arabic of your book of faith.

Yes, I am denying your claims, and I base my stance on the verses of the Qur'an.

You deny because Islam is pulling your puppet strings?

It is apparent that we are using different standards of truth here, I use the Qur'an, and you use the Bible. Hence our differing viewpoints. I see no way out, except leaps of faith. Therefore furthering this argument may be pointless.

I am using ayahs from your very own book of faith to buttress the Biblical position.

This is no ?leap of faith??..

Unless, of course, you are in denial of your book of faith?

We don't need Jesus as our saviour. We will work towards our salvation ourselves. Don't bother selling Jesus to us.

Sura 86 is already packaged in your book of faith as a constant reminder to all Muslims that they require Jesus as their lord and Savior?

If you deny this, then you are denying your own ?prophet??.

Thanks?

Peace Apple Pie,

Please provide your evidence that an Arabic Bible existed prior to the advent of Islam.

I want to focus on this part, because the rest is just a shouting match (you always resort to that when you ran out of verses).

Unlike your allegations, I do read and study the Qur'an in classical Arabic, I can read Arabic letters and I use the Qur'an as primary souce for word meanings.

Return to the verses I quoted before, you will see that the Qur'an said that Adam has been forgiven (237, 20122), and we do not carry sins of others (4111, 6164, 5338-39), and nobody will redeem anyone (2123). No original sin, no need for a saviour, no need to worship a man as God.

If you insist that the Qur'an endorses the Christian concept of original sin, then why do the Qur'an contain verses that negates original sin? We can start a new thread on this one.

Peace Apple Pie

Sura 112 is once again a Biblical confirmation that there is only One God.

The authors who penned the false bible did not believe in one God.

unknownuser

Greetings Tay,

Thanks for your query?

Please provide your evidence that an Arabic Bible existed prior to the advent of Islam.

Why would I need to do that?.?

Observe...

Waalkitabi almubeeni

43.2 And The Book, the clear/evident.

What is clear and evident??

The Book.

What is ?The Book??..?

Reviewing the classic definition?

= ?alkitabi?

?alkitabi? definition

Lane references sura 22 in his definition

Thalika alkitabu la rayba feehi hudan lilmuttaqeena

That The Book no doubt/suspicion in it, (it is) guidance to the fearing and obeying. (22)

?That is the book, or scripture?; as though combining in itself the excellences of all other books or scriptures; or meaning that is preeminently the book, or scripture. The Pentateuch or Mosaic Law; and the Gospel, or Book of the Gospels; the Scriptures of the Jews and Christians. Divine prescript, appointment, or ordinance; judgment, or sentence; fatal decree or predestination.

References
An Arabic-English Lexicon, E.W. Lane, volume one, p. 74; volume seven, p. 2590

?The Book? is the Holy Bible.

Period.

The Holy Bible is proclaimed as being clear & evident.

So much so, that look what happens...

Inna jaAAalnahu qur-anan AAarabiyyan laAAallakum taAAqiloona

43.3 Verily we have made it an Arabic Koran, maybe/perhaps you reason/comprehend.

What is the Koran?..?

is so called because it has collected the histories of the prophets, and commands and prohibitions, and promises and threats, and the verses or signs, and the chapters.

Look at what has occurred.

The Holy Bible ?alkitabi? (OT & NT ? written in Hebrew and Greek), is proclaimed as clear and evident
The Holy Bible is made into ?jaAAalnahu? an Arabic ?collection? or Koran

Thus?

It is obviously stated in the Koran itself, that the Holy Bible was converted into Arabic by its authors?

But?

Who were the authors that made this bold proclamation?.?

Observe these interesting comments by Lane?

Every language without a written literature tends to decay more than to development by reason of foreign influences; and the history of the Arabic exhibits an instance of decay remarkably rapid, and extraordinary in degree. An immediate consequence of the foreign conquests achieved by the Arabs under Mohammad?s first four successors was an extensive corruption of their language; for the nations that they subdued were naturally obliged to adopt in a great measure the speech of the conquerors, a speech which few persons have ever acquired in such a degree as to be secure from the commission of frequent errors in grammar without learning it from infancy?.

Such being the case, it became a matter of the highest importance to the Arabs to preserve the knowledge of that speech which had thus become obsolescent, and to draw a distinct line between the classical and the post-classical languages. For the former language was that of the Kur-an and of the Traditions of Mohammad, the sources of their religious, moral, civil, criminal, and political code? and they possessed, in that language, preserved by oral tradition, - for the art of writing, in Arabia, had been almost exclusively confined to Christians and Jews?.

The classical language they called, by reason of its incomparable excellence, ?el-loghah,? or ?the language? and the line between this and the post-classical was easily drawn, on account of the almost sudden commencement, and rapid progress, of the corruption.

?.I often have found in my knowledge of modern Arabic a solution of a difficulty; but without great caution, such knowledge would frequently have misled me, in consequence of the changes which have taken place in the applications of many words since the classical age.

It is quite inescapable that Islam?s ?prophet??.which is not even mentioned in the Koran? did NOT write the Koran?

Moreover?the authors, who did finally put pen to paper, and translated the Hebrew and Greek into Arabic, were more than likely Christians?..!!!

Simply amazing?

Tay

Peace Apple Pie,

You asked,

Why would I need to do that?.?

Because to claim that the Qur'an was copied from the Bible, you must first establish that a Bible existed in a language understandable by the alleged authors. You claim that they were Christians and Jews, yet you provide no reference for their references.

Since you failed to provide evidence of a written Bible prior to Islam, from where do you presume your alleged authors received their information?

Thanks,
Tay

I have to ask did your vision fail you after you read the very tippy-top of my reply??

I provided irrefutable evidence from your very own book of faith, as to where the Koranic material emanated from?

Don?t turn and run away now?. o

Perhaps others who can handle the truth will take the time to verify what I posted as truth?

Perhaps brother Wakas?

Peace Apple Pie,

Holy Moly!

You are truly amazing- a spin doctor if I've ever seen one.

How you take "as though combining in itself the excellences of all other books or scriptures"

to mean

"The Book? is the Holy Bible. Period."

is beyond me.

I wonder if English is your native tongue?

I'd like to have a crack at this spin game. I take it all I have to do is bold-face the part that I want the reader to pay attention to and then make any connection I want from the many meanings the Almighty Lane has given us? It shouldn't be too hard...

?That is the book, or scripture?; as though combining in itself the excellences of all other books or scriptures; or meaning that is preeminently the book, or scripture. The Pentateuch or Mosaic Law; and the Gospel, or Book of the Gospels; the Scriptures of the Jews and Christians. Divine prescript, appointment, or ordinance; judgment, or sentence; fatal decree or predestination.

So there you have it bro...432 is saying that the appointment for the fatal decree is evident.

I happen to agree. We all gotta die some time, right?

May peace be upon you,

p.s. let me know if you ever find an Arabic Bible that predated Islam wink

Repetition helps.

First of all, by ?taking a crack at this spin game?, you have just admitted to the authority of Lane?s definition?.as you have not produced (nor can you) any other authoritative definition(s)?.but are content to use the one that I posited?

Secondly, it really does not matter what part of Lane?s definition you use, as the one that you highlighted indicates something that was written down?which, the Koran was supposedly ?oral? during this time; thus it would have to be referring to something other than itself.

Thirdly, 43.3 specifically tells us that it was made into ?jaAAalnahu? an Arabic ?collection? or Koran.

This specific Arabic clarifier is not necessary if the original ?prescript? (as you now want to call it) was already written in Arabic?

p.s. let me know if you ever find an Arabic Bible that predated Islam

Please let us know when you can begin to trust what your book of faith is blatantly telling you?

Perhaps you will learn to stop asking us questions when you keep running away from the answers?

Thanks?
