I'm not complaining about the translations but I don't want to learn arabic either, my point I'm making is how suspicious do the translations look, considering 4 out of 5 people take the meaning as days in that context, and also it's suspicious considering 6 days is in the torah 6 days is in the bible 6 days is in the quran until apologetics gets involved as i said.
The second point i would make about this is how it's suspicious god would create a book which can so easily be translated wrongly, god has the power to anything, he could right now as i speak have an angel come down and scream in my face "THE QURAN IS RIGHT PAUL, AND THE CORRECT TRANSLATION CAN BE FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE" or basically any number of ways an all powerful being can communicate to me.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
