muhammeds purpose

[paulpablo]

Response: Once again, an example does in fact have to be related to a command, in order for it to be an example of Muhammad. For muslims are only obligated to do what is commanded. So modeling Muhammad would be to mimic what Muhammad commanded. Muhammad never commanded anyone to marry a 9 yesr old, so it is not an example of Muhammad.

This was what you said in your message to me, you say that an example does have to be related to a command.

I said according to the dictionary you are wrong, NOT ME, the dictionary, according to the dictionary an example is an ideal, a concept worthy of copying.
An examplar is somone worthy of copying or somone who it would be good to mimic.
Now i didnt make any claim here, im giving you the text book definition of what the word "example" is, regardless of the point which the quran is making.

Muhammad never commanded anyone to marry a 9 yesr old, so it is not an example of Muhammad

This is incorrect, i dont just mean because you spelt the word years wrong, i mean an example of somone could mean anything that they do or say or anything that is an example of their behaviour or code of conduct. Its like you saying "if somone wants to follow the example of bill gates they should not earn lots of money because bill gates didnt command anyone to earn lots of money"

This argument isnt even about the quran really, its about your special definition of the word example that doesnt agree with the dictionary

So the better question is how long will you drag out your pleading before you actually state your agenda?

Im not pleading, either tell me if you think the quran verses i posted are correct translations or dont, its really no skin off my bollocks either way
