Rejected. No evidence for your god, and I think it's dangerous to accept unsupported claims.
Quote:2. The problem with relying on other then God is that you cannot know who is guided unless God manifests them with clear proof, and hence, cannot know who should be followed.
Rejected. No evidence for your god; therefore, no one is actually "guided."
Quote:3. The leaders he wants us to follow and who makes representatives of his religion are his chosen ones.
Rejected. No evidence for your god; therefore, there are no chosen ones at all.
Quote:4. God gives clear guidance with respect to the affair of his chosen ones.
Rejected. As in point #3, no evidence for your god and no chosen ones.
Quote:5. The ones he associates together in a mission, also happen to be the closest one's to each other, and they are "family" in ways normal blood relatives or wives related to them are not.
Rejected. I choose my own family.
Quote:6. Holy Ladies like Sarah and Mariam although don't take on the position were they should be taken as ruler by all humanity, are examples and signs of God and are part of the holy family that God has chosen for guidance. They are to emphasize that the path is meant for both men and women equally, although, the man and woman are not alike though people want them to be very similar in this century.
Rejected. I see no point whatsoever in accepting rulership by mythological or long-dead women from an alien culture, and no one chooses a path for me.
Quote:7. God has sacred numbers for the spiritual way the universe operates...
Absolutely ridiculous. No number is "sacred"; that's just a tired old superstition. Rejected.
Quote:8. God is consistent with his sacred numbers and has wisdom in them.
Rejected. Numbers are just numbers.
Quote:9. God is very clean in providing proof consistently and demonstrates by his way of the past, to the present and future.
Rejected. I have never in all of my nearly 60 years seen even one piece of evidence for gods, let alone "proof."
Quote:10. The number of Salahs, the number of Rukus, and Sujoods, in both day and night, and in each Salah, and combined, all have sacred value in Quran...
Rejected. Put down the numerology book and back away slowly.
Quote:11. We can listen to all sorts of people babble about the Quran but at the end, it's the family of the reminder who God wants us to seek knowledge from and directed humanity to ask when we do not know as all those sent before Mohammad were men who he revealed revelation to, and made the means towards him, and who were explainer of the revelation revealed to their hearts.
Rejected. Meaningless word salad and blind assertion.
Quote:12. As God leaves a legacy of knowledge through the family of the reminder, we are to seek light from their words, and not rely on others to explain to us the Quran, though we may council one another about the ahadiths and Quran, we need to come thirsty to the family of the reminder like we come thirsty to Quran. Together, they will connect us to God and Salah cannot be established without this realization.
Rejected. Just cultish unsupported assertions (and still no evidence for your god).
Quote:13. Innovations are not to be followed but rather all practices relating to the sacred have to have proof from either a legacy of news from God or by knowledge. There has to be traces of knowledge to rely on, and not conjecture.
Rejected. A belief that is not allowed to adapt to reality is already dead in the water. Tradition is not the virtue you seem to think it is.
Quote:14. God is the True King and Master in all this, and sufficient is God as a Guide.
Rejected. You have no way of demonstrating this: Even if you somehow manage to prove that your god actually exists, how are you going to prove that it's the only god, the highest god, or the most powerful god? There could be quite a few gods above it, unknown to you because they didn't think it was important to dictate scriptures to mortals on planet Earth.
Congratulations, MK. You scored 0/14.
