Peace
With global message, i refer to the oneness of God, the resort to peace and goodness, that the Quran is connected with the other scriptures, that we should be aware of outside sources and so on. These are the global themes in the Quran, that can be understood even by almost all translations. But when it comes to deeper details even to the above subjects, the arabic must be investigated further.
I see. I had even thought those items were what you took as main, when I mentioned belief in God + good deeds, now I see you add the item other scriptures/sources. It's clear.
I still think those deeper details can be as important as those you have mentioned, especially in regards to the life of muslims and non muslims today and in future time, they effect in the life. I wish you and the rest of people who are studying the quran the best of success in your research and the most possible objectivity.

Er enquirer?!? Where are you? Even your 'back-ups' didn't take this long to reach you as your replies to these queries are?
Yeah, where's the promised response to my "thesis"? ???
-
Peace all. Enquirer is back... bravo
The ad homineum,and unanswered questions still continue...
The 'cheerleading' of incomplete answers still continue...
In response to your clutching at 'straws' of 25 years,.....25 years studying islam (which includes a study of quran.) but more specific,detailed study of quran in later years,which does not equal 25 years,unless totalled including the 'early' years of learning ...If you cant understand this,then thats not my problem....
Its funny all those who try to discredit,and attack,cannot refute,or explain away all the inconsistencies in the 'plethora' of interpretations,and all the discrepancies of their 'theories',with reality.......
As for the 'timelessness',well i know many of you liked this theory of modern technology not being mentioned in the quran because of the quran supposedly,being timeless...Well if it WAS timeless,then why does it mention events and technology which are not timeless???... That flat out demolishes,the 'timeless' theory,which many of you 'cheerlead'...
And finally,i would just say,when any of the more objective of you,actually understand,agree upon,and can explain clearly what the quran says about certain topics ( topics such as salat,hajj,allah,zakat,shura,right hand women,kaaba,muhammed,democracy,who believes and who doesnt,science,amputations,sticks into snakes,sea splitting into mountains,black magic,whippings,etc,etc...) ,and if you can ever establish/explain how a succesful 'political' or practical 'quran only' system can run, (before the day of judgement please...) then please post these explanations on the forum for everybodies benefit.....
.....I will be waiting for your replies....
My 25 years,taught me to recognise the limitations and 'false rhethoric' of the scriptural interpretations,as explained by the cheerleaders,and followers of illusions...
Peace all. ps; oh,and if anyone can even ATTEMPT to answer why no record of an 'established' quran only political state in the past 1400 years,then please do so...if not for me,do it for other people who would like to know....
We are all free to believe in what we deem correct....but the proof of the pudding is in the eating...
Take it easy people...take my post as 'constructive' criticism... sun group -
No no no. You don't get to dodge this time.
I expect a point by point response to my "thesis."
This means actually responding to each argument, not simply skirting the issue and tossing out 15 other arguments at us that do not even belong in this thread. Wasn't this thread about technology in the Qur'an? All your other hit-n-run arguments belong in other threads. This thread has nothing to do with salat, hajj, political states, etc. so leave it elsewhere.
Don't think we don't see what you're doing. When you cant fully answer all the points, you simply hide behind other "arguments" that have nothing to do with the original thread.
I'm sorry, does that offend you? Is that too ad hominem for you?
Some words of advice
- Grow a thicker skin. You live in the real world. Not everyone has to walk on eggshells just to have a discussion with you.
- When you ask for arguments, and someone takes you up on your offer, then have the decency and respect to respond to their counterargument.
Peace.

2544 Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle;- nay, they are worse astray in Path.
Try to understand this verse with the low level intelligence you possesed. The person who has no intelligence to read and understand the message. There is no way you can see the Qur'an social and political message.
I really had eough of you in your previous life on the forum.
-
Ah I see he's back. I have to agree with CavemanDoctor here. This has gone far enough. Please respond to people's posts when they have taken the time out to address your concerns or do not start new topics rehashing the same.
-
Peace arnoldyasin. Ok,you make a very valid point...I will try to respect the fact that you and others hold the quran in awe and reverence....
I dont know exactly what you could say to convince me the quran is 'divine' or absolute....more conclusive evidence?
I would also ask that you and others think about your comments to sunnis,shiahs,non-muslims etc... and references to idol-worhippers,kafirs etc,etc...
Peace all. ps; many are pretty critical of 19ers,sunnis,and many other religious view-points/ideologies as well....For consistency i hope you address the forum on these 'disrespectful' comments to others as well...Let me analyse this message. Do you really have any respect? Not at all. This message was a desperate attempt to get some support. You really have no respect at all in you. If you had any respect you would have created a forum of your own and start spreading your stupid message with people like you instead of coming here and keep creating topics against Qur'an.
I respect all the religions. I don't go to Hindu, Christians, Budhists forums posting insulting comments about their religions.
-
Peace all. Pot,kettle,black... You dont want to answer my questions,fine....
Mr cavemandoctor....my 20 word reply was sufficient as a reply to your thesis....
Peace...Seems some of you 'cant handle the truth'..... sun -

Bro his lines about us holding the quran in awe and reverence is trying to insinuate that we hold it as an idol, otherwise there is no need to write it like that. Personally, I would call respect as responding like oneway did, he had the integrity to respond to people in detail while he was here. Some people have all the time in the world to sit and create flaming topics but not respond when people do address them. -
Peace KGB.
I just wanted to say something here. I understand your frustration, trust me. But we (this includes me) must try hard not to attack enquirer. I'm not necessarily saying you are attacking him here but enquirer is a bit sensitive (not trying to attack you here, enquirer, just stating an observation) and if someone's tone is somewhat negative, enquirer will use that as an excuse to not respond.
Since I want a full response to my "thesis," I don't want to give enquirer an excuse to take another hiatus. Even though it is quite clear to me that he has some sort of agenda (disclaimer this is not an attack on you, enquirer, just stating an observation), we must still try to be as respectful and polite as possible. Again, I say this for two reasons
- It's obviously important to show respect to people you are discussing with.
- It is clear enquirer can't really respond to some of the arguments in this thread. If we attack him, he'll use the the attack as justification for not responding to the arguments. I want it to be readily apparent to all observers that it is actually the arguments he cannot respond to. I don't want them to think that he can respond to the argument but simply chooses not to cause of the "ad homineum" attacks on him.
Peace.

Silly me for entertaining your "ideas." sun

Peace all. And i suppose those who are currently 'flaming'/cheerleading,dont say the christians,sunnis,shiahs,jews,hindus,etc,etc... are 'idolators',and always fully respect the respective religions of others ...? (never mind that some call even other 'fellow' 'quran onlys',and 19ers idolators as well. o)
peace all. ps; oh,and reading into someones posts that deeply has its drawbacks and limitations....Amateur psychoanalysis from some members... rotfl
Oh,and people respected one-way.... rotfl Was he regarded as a person of the book,or 'kafir/idolator by some on the forum...??? And why do i need respect from the members that 'cheerlead'.....? Where have i 'explicitly' called anyone an 'idolator' in recent posts...?
Mr cavemandoctor; look into your responses....have you answered my questions....? If not,then dont say what you dont do yourself...(612) ... ) Take it easy all. -
Mr cavemandoctor; look into your responses....have you answered my questions....?
Yeah, I did....a few pages back. Maybe you missed it.

You see, unlike you, I don't regard labelling someone as "kafir" as the only form of disrespect. I don't care about labels. I am here to discuss the Qur'an and learn from others. In that vein, you are one of the most disrespectful posters on the forum. Why do I say that? You throw out hollow, superficial "arguments" and dare us to respond to you (at the beginning of each thread, you do this, of course, in a very high-horse condescending manner). When we respond, you fail to respond, or respond with (literally) 20 words that do not even address the bulk of the argument. You then go back up on your high horse and use smilies and couch your posts in "happy" language as if to imply that you're above all this "pettiness."
You accuse us of being subjective. You accuse us not being able to handle the truth. Look in the mirror pal.

Mr enquirer, look into your responses. Have you answered his questions? No. Because, you said it yourself, a "20 word response is sufficient." Brother CavemanDoctor wrote out a two post response to each of your arguments. With all due respect, don't play this off as if he didn't answer. All of us here are still waiting for your response. Good luck.
Peace.
