But all men are sinners. Would you 'cast the first stone'?

˹This is˺ a sûrah which We have revealed and made ˹its rulings˺ obligatory, and revealed in it clear commandments so that you may be mindful. As for female and male fornicators, give each of them one hundred lashes, and do not let pity for them make you lenient in ˹enforcing˺ the law of Allah...

I’m reading the Book of Ezekiel again. It seems to me that the early chapters are about the destruction of the temple and the second deportation of Jews from Jerusalem under Zedekiah, and also about the eventual return of the Jews to Jerusalem after 70 years captivity in Babylon? Perhaps later...

However you do concede that Shariah and Jihad are written into the Quran?

So you believe the enactment of Shariah Law in Islamic states is rebellion against true Islam? Of course this was against everything Christ stood for in the New Testament. It was abuse for power and politics and had no root in Christ. It still continues. However the big difference is that Jihad...

"An Indonesian woman has been flogged 100 times in Aceh province for adultery while the male involved, who denied the accusations, received just 15 lashes. Ivan Najjar Alavi, the head of the general investigation division at the East Aceh prosecutors’ office, said the court handed down a...

Nevertheless Christians and others are not safe in Pakistan, Nigeria, Sudan and numerous other Muslim majority states. Muslim apostates and anyone speaking out of turn about Allah or the Quran are very harshly treated -- and all the persecution is justified by passages from the Quran itself --...

When did Muhammad enter Israel? The country named Israel was only established in the 20th Century. Or do you mean the land occupied by the people of Israel after their release from Babylon? Up until Roman times it was called Judea. Was Ezekiel in 570 BC predicting the modern state of Israel...

Ok @Tony Bristow-Stagg I'll play How did I lose the context? The question I asked @muhammad_isa was not whether Muhammad (pbuh) claimed divinity, but whether he claimed to represent (avatar) the nature of Allah or to reflect (mirror) the nature of Allah. The mirror image is the one Baha'i use...

That looks very nice. Yum!

I mostly eat rice and veg, with a pie or sausage roll, these days

Is the problem that @OupaPiet does not agree that Islam is a peaceful religion -- in which case he is entitled to express his opinion -- or is it the way he says it?

Within just two years after the death of Jesus, according to Bart Ehrman:

Thank you. So just to be clear: Muhammad (pbuh) at no time claimed to represent or to reflect the nature of Allah in his own person -- but only (as the prophet) to faithfully relay the words of Allah given to him by the angel Jibreel?

So a thousand years, max?

How long do JW consuder it to be? A thousand years? Ten thousand years?

Just stop it @Tony Bristow-Stagg Many have died for their beliefs through history -- right or wrong Waiting on @muhammad_isa Because unlike you @Tony Bristow-Stagg I prefer not to tell others how to understand their own holy scriptures without knowing enough about them myself. However at...

Sigh ... context @Tony Bristow-Stagg Nevermind -- Baha'i forum, I'm out

Not always. He fed the 5000. He changed water into wine at a wedding.. He performed several public miracles. Far more than that. He sacrificed himself as God’s only begotten Son upon the cross – the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world – to end blood sacrifice forever, and then was...

I think would think it necessary to read the Book of Ezekiel in context before extracting chapters and then sentences from chapters, and then words from sentences to try to make Ezekiel support Baha'u'llah as a true prophet of Israel. It's just more of the same cherry-picking, as far as I'm...
