Teach me about contradictions

[paulpablo]

I would cut the quran some slack on contradictions because as you say there's poetic language to take into consideration and the fact I don't understand Arabic BUT....

The quran specifically challenges people in this verse -

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction.

So it's basically saying if I find opposing pieces of information in the quran it isn't written by god.

I wouldn't nit pick about it so much if it wasn't for the verse which basically says "Hey look at this book, no contradictions so obviously written by god."

The way I see it is god has already told them he does not forgive association this is in 4:48 of the quran, every translation is exactly the same and gives no conditions in which forgiveness might take place it simply says there will be no forgiveness.

So after this point you either have a ridiculously jealous god who holds a grudge for eternity against someone who was just raised in the wrong religion who might have worshiped Jesus or a cow or practiced voodoo or something.

Or you have a god who changes his mind about what he forgives.
