Everything you've posted on here makes perfect sense. What you just posted on here makes no sense.
It seems to me that either Muslims bend over backwards to believe there's no contradictions or Arabic is a language where there can be no contradictions whatever you say.
You're right that it's common to make a case generally and make an exception but it still is a contradiction. It's just a common contradiction that people do because we're just imperfect people.
Someone might say "All the cats are white but this cat is black." The person saying that might not be corrected because we know what he's talking about, but all the cat's can't be white if one of them is black. It's still a contradiction.
Do you have an example of this kind of language being used in any law or legal document?
Nobody claimed that Arabic is immune to contradiction. It's a normal language that can mean ramblings or logical meanings.
As an official place that "gives an exception" to a general rule; the examples are too many that I don't know which to choose:
Quote:exception
ɪkˈsɛpʃ(ə)n,ɛkˈsɛpʃ(ə)n/
noun
plural noun: exceptions
a person or thing that is excluded from a general statement or does not follow a rule.
One verse contained "the general statement".
The other contained "the exception".
You are expected to read the whole Quran, with the contexts it gives; a belief cannot stand without taking the whole book into consideration. In other words; you cannot say that God "forgives all sins" without saying "except associating others with him". It has nothing to do with Arabic.
Cherry picking is not allowed with the Quran; it's a whole book.
