Quote:Mo3, I realize you are active on other threads but I'm just curious if you have any argument against my observation that Islam takes religious special pleading to a whole new level?what do you mean?
Quote:At this point, I'm not even going to ask for any proof that Muhammad spoke to God. We both already know there isn't any. Religion would never rely on "faith" if there was any legitimate proof they could use.you cant start from this place(trying to prove did he talk to god or not) you have a book that claims to be the word of god you must examine it to see wether it is the word of god or not
who said that i am or any muslim rely on faith?(do you mean by relying on faith that we just believe without reasons?)
Quote:What I want to know is how you reconcile the idea that Muhammad knew Jesus better than the people who told him about Jesus, who's very church was established by the people who allegedly knew him? He also knew the Jewish prophets better than the Jews did.the Quran is the word of god not muhammed(pbuh) anything written in the Quran doesnt mean that he knew the prophets better than them
Quote:Many Muslims try to quote the Bible to me to try to prove the legitimacy of their religion, essentially confirming that their religion is based on the faiths of those who they say got it all wrong.we believe that the bible still contains some of god word.but plz give me an example of how they use the bible to prove the legitimacey of islam?
Quote:This is not just special pleading. We're past that. If I were to adopt a faith, I'd stay as close to the source as possible. Jews should be expected to know Jewish prophets best. hristians should be expected to know Jesus best. An active and personal god, involved in human events, would ensure that scriptures wouldn't be corrupted.the people that lived during moses and people who lived during jesus you mean. but after that it was a long time and a lot of things happened according to islam they just started adding and removing things from the scriptures for their own benefit untill most of their scriptures was lost(the word of god is all preserved in the Quran)
