Re: Islam: A Religion of Lies...

Maybe it’s simply reincarnation?

Surah 30:19 He brings out the living from the dead…


You are quite the student of the Quran.

Actually Surah 30 says more than that:

30:2 The Roman Empire has been defeated-

30:19 It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead).

Hmmmmmmmm………..What's THAT supposed to mean?

I think you just hit another foul dude


Using your form of exegesis, as demonstrated above, I can understand your confusion. Muhammad could not keep his story straight. Except where he plagiarized the Bible.

Of course you can’t trust the quran for its reliability. After all it states that the sunset was found and that the sun was “setting” in hot water! ROTFL!!!

Surah 18:86 Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water. And he found near it a people...
Y

You seriously do not recognize an allegorical reference to "the Great One", who “walled up the people of Gog and Magog”? Call your father immediately. Apologize for taking his money and wasting it on bible school. Sell all you have, and pay him back. Then do something else. I mean seriously. Anything.

LOL! I already said Moses allowed this. I also said Moses allowed divorce as well. That does not mean God endorsed it.

Your bible actually says Jesus did endorse divorce. Are you now claiming that all of this law that Moses said came from God actually did not? The bible says it did. That would invalidate a lot of your bible. Even I wouldn’t dare say that. You HAVE to attribute large portions of your bible to Moses because if you don’t, then you HAVE to admit that your position here has been wrong. Would it not be better to admit error and return to what the bible says rather than declare that what Moses said came from God did not?

Did you know Moses murdered a man? That does not mean God endorsed the murder either. Of course you probably know this already but could care less. So if you could care less what else will you lie about?

Whatever Moses did, the law that I laid out for you still came from God. So many of the Prophets sinned, however when they declared a message from God it was a true message. You are wrong, so wrong, in trying to invalidate the message because of the man because the message does not fit your beliefs.

As mentioned many times Jesus pointed to the created order of one man and one woman in a monogamous relationship. Muhammad even plagiarized this portion of scripture. LOL!

Except for that troublesome water part, accurate but missing from any and all scripture. I believe in your shoes I wouldn’t actually have shared any of that.

LOL! It has been shown so often that the God ordained marriage is between one man and one woman that a person must wonder if you can comprehend anything that’s written. Apparently, it’s not just the Bible you cannot comprehend but the quran as well.

It was also shown that there are several other versions of God ordained marriage and I comprehended them better than you answered them.
There is much identified sin in the bible, not a single little passage where any of these were sin. Which is why you attribute it all to what “Moses allowed” while forgetting that many of these “arrangements” predate Moses. OOPS. Bible says “these words are from God”. Either you are wrong or the bible is wrong but you are not both right.


Again trying to understand the Bible with your Islamic paradigm. LOL! You used this before to try to prove prepubescent marriage and now you want to use it to demand it line up with islam, that women are forced into marriages. This logic is so ridiculous it has a name – an argument from silence. Note that it does not say she must be married to the man. See how simple and ridiculous your logic looks! LOL!

Let's read it together and see if a consensual marriage after 30 days sounds ridiculous in light of a captured woman whose husband has just been killed.

Note: Here it is supposed that this captive's husband, if she were before a married woman, was dead before, or rather was slain in this very battle, otherwise it would have been adultery in him that married her.
Antiquities of the Jews, Josephus, Book 4, Chapter 8, Section 23.


Yep, that's ridiculous. Next.

My background is the same as yours, except I’m from a little further south. I took a passage that ordered soldiers to take prepubescent girls for themselves then took the passage on what to do with captive girls and posted them exactly what they are. If a man can sell his daughter as a wife to another man in the bible do you really expect that you can make up “consent for a captive”? Do you even know what captive means?

I ignored your book? Know why? In the referenced passage there were no, zero, captives who had “husbands killed in battle”. If they “had husbands” they were killed too, and not in battle. So your book about “the happy end of widowed captives” was not even on the radar screen of relevent. I have no idea why you keep posting a happy little story about “captive widows” unless you are suggesting that the Israelites were “marrying” dead bodies. No wonder consent is not an issue! LOL

You are in error when you attempt to say there were more than one man and one woman created by God in the beginning. Apparently you don’t even know the quran! What else will you lie about?

If wrongly attributing quotes as per below is a lie I guess you just did it.

I know. You will lie by attributing a quote to me that was in reality from the Islamic apologetic site you appear to use. What else will you lie about?

You cannot deny that you posted it, which is why it was attributed to you. My error was in assuming that you posted it because you agreed with it. See how that works? Unlike the above where you claim that I in any way implied that there was more than one man and one woman created by God in the beginning.

I am positive that you can’t see the difference. Though a shining light in using your quick mind and rapid wit to expose the Quran you really don't come across as the brightest light on the street in matters of logical thought


LOL!!! So says the muslim apologist wannabe that struggles with reading comprehension. I will not “adjust” the truth or invent it as is the case with islam. Just as you have tried to invent more than one man and one woman in the Biblical creation narrative that Muhammad plagiarized. Oh well. No worries. Critics have come and critics have gone but the bible is still the standing. LOL!

I described many different types of marital arrangements in the Bible however none of them referenced creation. What else will you lie about?

Like I said, Moses allowed polygamy and even divorce. Moses, not God. That’s the problem with critics. They have no understanding of Hermeneutics or exegesis. They think they find a contradiction and they can’t get past it. You’re not the first critic and won’t be the last. Yet the Bible still says what it says.

Deuteronomy says “from God”. Polygamy predated Moses and you sure won’t touch that. LOL you skip Abraham, focus on Isaac, then skip Jacob, the father of the tribes. The Law passed down from God through Moses has rules about polygamy, but even though it says in the book “from God” in order to make it fit your case you replace that with “from Moses”? That's really sad dude.

It’s clear that you refuse to acknowledge truth in any form. You will argue against one man and one woman in the created order even when your quran affirms the same thing. I suppose you can argue you were just “inventing” information to support your religion. Where I was raised that was called lying. There is no intellectual integrity and only a desire to justify your religion by sacrificing truth on the altar of justification. Have at it. It’s your right.

Truth is in the words and the words were cut and pasted from your book. You call this lying. Is your book a lie then? There are many, many specific examples of marriages and laws about marriage and descriptions of marriage and it was all neatly spelled out for you. If those words, cut and pasted from the bible are a lie or “invented” then I guess we can conclude something from that can’t we. Except they are not. They are there, they were not changed, they were directly copied, and you declare this “inventing a lie”.

This "invented lie" copied and pasted from multiply biblical passages directly contradicts your message here. THAT makes you a poser, a pretender, and there are passages on that too. Should I get them? Innocently wondering.

It’s pointless to answer a fool according to his folly… (Proverbs 26:4)

You can change. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Start with trying not to declare His books a lie?

2) There is no moral equivalency between a man’s commentary and the Bible. The Bible is where my foundation is laid not the comments of humanity.

Did I say that I agreed with that or did I say that Rashi said that? Page back a little maybe? I did not "attempt" to put forth commentary, I put it forth. You answered and the answer you gave, being that a there is no explicit age given in marriage in the bible, is exactly the correct answer. Otherwise, I am not exactly a follower of "Rashi" whoever he is nor do I especially care what he has to say on the issue.
1st This is the context of what YOU said:

That’s not the case, as has been pointed out time and time again. So, since there seems to be a comprehension problem here it is once again, a portion anyway.

Your response was: Posted 01 05 2015 09:06 AM
Please add "dim" to "humorless" in your long list of personality traits. What I think about this passage has nothing to do with what Muslims think. It has, as stated (much much WAY) earlier, everything to do with what the Jews who practiced and lived under these laws think.

Since you appear to be a preacher and have such a witful way of both jumping to conclusions and putting words in my mouth I guess I will save you the research and show you how those who lived under and practiced these laws interpreted them. They interpret them differently from you and why. My guess as to why this may be is this: There is no personal motive or gain to be had, as in this discussion, by glossing them over.

Rashi’s commentary on Genesis 25:20 says:
[I]forty years old: For when Abraham came from Mount Moriah, he was informed that Rebecca had been born. Isaac was then thirty seven years old, for at that time Sarah died, and from the time that Isaac was born until the “Binding” [of Isaac], when Sarah died, were thirty seven years, for she was ninety years old when Isaac was born, and one hundred and twenty seven when she died, as it is stated (above 23:1): “The life of Sarah was [a hundred and twenty seven years.”] This makes Isaac thirty seven
years old, and at that time, Rebecca was born. He waited for her until she would be fit for marital relations three years and then married her.— [From Gen. Rabbah 57:1
Source: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_...showrashi=true
End Quote

You wanted to “show me” what they believed. Which is something you NOW attempt to distance yourself from. Do you agree with Rashi or not? To clarify for you, did they “practice” marriage at three years old? We will keep it simple… Yes or no?

If yes you’ll have to demonstrate how an 11th century man knew, infallibly, how they “lived under those laws”. “Those laws” were millennia before Rashi. Very poor “scholarship”. Your “proof” has the substance found in a vacuum.

I have already demonstrated the fallacy of Rashi’s commentary and by extension the wishful rationale for using him as a source.

2) You tried arguing that it was a cultural norm hundreds and thousands of years ago. This is problematic because:
a. Culture is not morally equivalent to the Bible.
b. Islam has this enshrined in its law, Shariah. It is perpetuated today in Islam because your prophet and his teachings made this a valid marriage for all Mohammedans. Therefore, it is a practice that continues today not just hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

Posted By WII
In other words: As shown, the Bible does not give explicit age for someone to get married, but what it does give, reading the passage, ‘puberty’ is the minimum age for a girl allowed to get married. Thanks
ROTFL!!! No. LOL!!! You have demonstrated once again your inability to comprehend what you read! Thanks for the entertainment! LOL!

It's a lot more resourceful justifying something someone actually did than it is discussing something someone else did from 1400 years ago.
ROTFL!!! So you DO AGREE and ACCPET the fact that Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine! Go to your own source! ROTFL!!!

Welcome back to the straw man museum! You have failed to prove Rebekah was three years old and now you are fixated on saying she was a “teen”. As though that is equivalent to Muhammad consummating a marriage with a nine year old. News flash, it’s not.

Posted By WII
I never tried to "prove" that Rebekah was three years old. The posted source did. You returned with sources that declared NO she was at least in her early teens, to disprove a source that I never agreed with in the first place. Then you followed up by declaring puberty as the biblically acceptable age for marriage. No answer on the early teen and 40-yr-old (Isaac was 37 when his mother died, married Rebecca three years later, no mystery there) marriage but you said enough.
What “source” did I use that said Rebekah was in her “early teens”? What “context” was it given in? I have directed you and others to the source of your statements so keep up and do the same. If you make an assertion, back it up with facts. It’s apparent that you just post whatever is convenient at the time.

Are you referring to the same one where I, in context, was pointing out the fallacy of your absurd logic? The same one where the Islamic apologetic site disagreed with your premise?

ROTFL!!!

I can't "make" anything other than what it historically is however the 3-yr-old thing cannot be traced either to Texas or Islam and as such search for an agenda elsewhere.

My agenda was to obtain your personal perspective on marriage age from a biblical standpoint, previously asked but not answered.

Maybe you should look up what a "theory laden observation" is?

Seems I can make you state the truth even if it takes a week to get it out of you. You have stated it. "As shown, the Bible does not give explicit age for someone to get married, but what it does give, reading the passage, ‘puberty’ is the minimum age for a girl allowed to get married."
Are you now suggesting that “they” did practice marriage with three year olds? Above you said:
Posted By WII
“I never tried to "prove" that Rebekah was three years old...” [/QUOTE]

Now it sounds like you are – “I can't "make" anything other than what it historically is…”. Please try to keep your story straight. That type of marriage cannot be traced to Judaism either. That Islamic apologetic website admits as much.

What CAN be traced to your prophet is the prepubescent marriage and consummation by Muhammad.

I have told you time and time again, that the Biblical standard is the standard set By Jesus who pointed to the creation narrative. Remember? One man and one woman who are mature. So once again we see your disingenuous declarations…

ROTFL!!! Once again you point out that you cannot comprehend what you read. You seem to like the reference from the Islamic apologetic website that disagreed with your presentation.

In case you have “forgotten” already allow me to once again reveal this.

Once more from your site! LOL!
Kaleef K. Karim
“In this article I will establish that the age for marriage, when someone is allowed to get married Biblically, is when one enters puberty. The Bible makes mention the general age of girl allowed for marriage.

As shown, the Bible does not give explicit age for someone to get married, but what it does give, reading the passage, ‘puberty’ is the minimum age for a girl allowed to get married.
…In conclusion, the Bible provides no explicit age for when a girl is allowed to get married. But, what it does give us is that YHWH – God of the Bible, allows for marriage to be consummated when a female has hit puberty. Ezekiel 16 proves, once a girl has hit puberty, she can get married.”

Your straw man argument is once again reveled to be a logical fallacy.

Posted By WII
We are not talking about "common sense". We are talking about YOUR bible according to YOU setting the age of marriage at puberty, be it 7 or 17. Now you want to apply "common sense" to dispute what you earlier stated was your own interpretation of the bible's position? If you are, it's too late for that.
I agree we are not talking about “common sense”. There has been very little of that displayed by the “evidences” put forward by you. On the one hand those “evidences” support a Jewish marriage of three years of age. On the other hand the same site specifically states that the Biblical marriage is, well let’s use the quote you are so fond of:
“As shown, the Bible does not give explicit age for someone to get married, but what it does give, reading the passage, ‘puberty’ is the minimum age for a girl allowed to get married”.

Therefore, there is no common sense to the evidences at all.

As far as “me” setting the age – once again where was that ever said? You can blather on and say “I said” whatever. That does not make it so. If you are going to make an assertion about what someone has said then document your assertion. The reason why you can’t do that is because it was not said. You are at best misrepresenting what was said. Thanks for once again proving the title of this thread. Of course in islam that’s okay. Too bad for you there is another world that actually demands integrity.

Situational ethics must be highly “exalted” in islam…

Wow! Where did I say “teen”? Wait I know! You must have found Rashi’s crystal ball! LOL! Regardless of Rebekah’s age she was NOT a nine year old girl. That is clear from the Biblical text. There you go with your inventions again.

Once again, welcome to the “straw man” show where we watch WII tap dance all around the point. Watch as he sophomorically attempts to juggle meaningless data to try to justify his religion. Even if Rebekah was fourteen there is a world of difference between that and the example set by Muhammad, the man with an exalted character. ROTFL. Aisha was nine years old which is just a little less than half that age (technically it’s about 65% of that age – fourteen).

Here’s a hint. Try to find something biblically that is equivalent. Oh wait. You can’t! Oh well according to islam you can invent something and it’s not a lie.

Posted By WII
I did. Actually you did, firmly and directly. "As shown, the Bible does not give explicit age for someone to get married, but what it does give, reading the passage, ‘puberty’ is the minimum age for a girl allowed to get married."

But I already told YOU that. You're just a week behind.
ROTFL!!! This again! Wait… ROTFL!!!

Get some help with your reading comprehension! LOL!
And learn how to document your assertions and keep them in context. Find a dictionary and learn what context is so you don’t continue to look foolish. Just trying to help you out here…

OK you are kind of slow so let me explain point by point.

The text: All the stuff that Rebecca can do, discussed and pointed out by you several times.

No age though.

Consensus of the majority: At or near puberty, minimum early teens. Which you also said.
LOL! Another one of your “insults”…
Okay so you said you would stick with the Biblical text but now decide to follow the majority. Must be why you’re in islam. A sheeple for your imam. LOL! Glad you can at least acknowledge the many mature things Rebekah can do.

Oh and there you go with unfounded assertions once again. I never said what you have asserted. This is at best a prevarication on your part. We’ll chalk it up to your lack of reading comprehension and analytical skills. Must be why you can’t figure out if the Jews practiced marriages at three years old or not… LOL!

Maybe you should look up what a theory laden observation is. You are basing your conclusion on the assumption that each and every camel was filled up with the maximum amount of water that a camel can hold. Ever seen a camel? They abound here.

When their handlers give them water they don't give them "20 gallons each". LOL
Once again misrepresenting what I said… Nothing new. Thanks for confirming the title of this thread.

Here is what I said (01 04 2015 06:06 PM):
Note: this is called documenting an assertion…

“Naturally common sense demands that a marriage covenant be between two people of sufficient age and maturity to enter into the covenant. Well unless you’re the “messenger of god” (according to islam). Once again going back to the scripture you referred to about Rebekah. The text makes it clear she was of a mature age physically and mentally. She was able to not only go to a well by herself and take back enough water for the family for the day. She was also physically able to draw water for the camels of Abraham’s servant. That is no small task concerning the amounts of water camel’s drink!

They drink large amounts of water up to 20 gallons at a time.”
http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/camel.html

They drink till their satiated which scientifically is up to 20 gallons. Which is exactly what I said.

Hopefully they have an elementary school “over there”. Perhaps you could try to get some help with reading comprehension. I would say get some help with intellectual honesty but that does not seem to be a very high character trait among muslims.

An agenda like say twisting verses to mean one thing when they actually, in

multiple versions and translations, say the opposite thing? I am thinking you are not quite the caveman you think you are.

NIV sez

2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
Auth "queen james version" sez
2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: 3 all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Young's literal translation sez
2 saying, `On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;
3 all, then, as much as they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but according to their works do not, for they say, and do not;
OH and "queen james" version (appears there is an authorized one and another one for the regular folks LOL):
Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

You already got the clever little link. Go back to where I sent you to bible study if you have difficulty finding this again.

Summary: Those who developed the Talmud WERE the ministry and Jesus validated that.

Which is what I said. In a week or so, or even if this goes to 10,000 pages, you will eventually admit that too, like you (good God FINALLY already) admitted that there is no minimum age for marriage in the bible.

This is, of course and naturally, in conflict (with)your earlier "look how much worse you are than me" declarations.

Sez you to me: "The Bible is in perfect harmony with itself. It needs no other standard. You, on the other hand, prefer to torture the text to make it say what

you want to say"

Were you being deliberately or accidentally deceptive in the pompous declaration above? Do you tell fibbies then forget what you said? Do you and "your special friend Bruce" develop your own translations for yourselves?

Perhaps you should not play "cavemen with Bruce" alone at home anymore.

ADVICE: When you do play "caveman with Bruce" at home keep it to yourself, don't publicly giggle while you are doing it, be consistent if you are going to tell fibs, and post pics elsewhere!

“Summary”
1) You apparently can’t make up your mind if you believe the Jews practiced marriages to three year olds or not. You said above:
a. “I will save you the research and show you how those who lived under and practiced these laws interpreted them.”
i. This is a declarative statement.
b. “I never tried to "prove" that Rebekah was three years old.”
i. You tried to prove how “those who lived under and practiced these laws interpreted them”.
c. “I can't "make" anything other than what it historically is however the 3-yr-old thing cannot be traced either to Texas or Islam”
i. The implication is that it can be traced elsewhere – Judaism.
You appear conflicted. Which is it?
2) You often misrepresent what has been posted.
a. How many false assertions have been made concerning what you claim I said? Too many to count. Must be why you fail to document your assertions.
3) You continue to miserably fail to document your assertions.
4) You apparently do not know how to spell a simple word like “says”. You spelled it “sez”. This after insulting someone else’s typo of “mush” for “much”. There were others as well. In Christianity this would be called hypocrisy.
5) You have no understanding of hermeneutics or exegesis. This is witnessed above.
6) Those who developed the Talmud were Rabbi’s not necessarily Levites. Come on keep up. No minister has the right to change the Bible. I understand your dilemma. It takes common sense to understand this…
7) LOL – Jesus validated the Talmud ROTFL!!! That’s a good one! You do know when it was written don’t you?

Here is a quote for you (this will also help you learn how to document your assertions. Of course this also demands that your assertions be correct LOL):
“In his early years Rabbi Judah, the son of the Patriarch Simon ben Gamaliel II, traveled to the scattered yeshivas and it grieved him to observe this disunity and schism. It would seem that in place of one Torah there were several Torahs, each in contradiction with the others. What was kosher in one yeshiva was not in another; what was clean and permitted in one place was unclean and prohibited in another. It was then that Rabbi Judah conceived the idea of collecting all laws and discussions concerning them and arranging them in one systematic code.”
The Talmud, An Analytical Guide to its History and Teachings, Isaac Unterman, Bloch Publishing Company, New York, Third Printing 1971, P 59

This was in the second century AD. LOL. There was no Talmud when Jesus walked the earth to “validate”. ROTFL!!!
Grasping at straws once again..

8) And there you go once again making an assertion without documentation. You stated:
a. “like you (good God FINALLY already) admitted that there is no minimum age for marriage in the bible.” Another false claim by you.
I guess that’s okay in islam. Invent whatever saying you want. Well fortunately there is another “universe” where people actually request real scholarship.
9) Now to your other failed assertion about my “pompous declaration”. The Bible is indeed in perfect harmony with itself. Thanks for underscoring your lack of understanding hermeneutical and exegetical principles. We already understood this from your multitudes of eisegesis examples. Don’t know any Bruce. You must be referring to A. T. Robertson, the renowned Greek scholar that wrote Robertson’s Word Pictures. You do understand he was a well-known and highly respected Greek scholar right? Apparently not. But thanks for demonstrating your lack of reading comprehension once again and your memory problem.
Here is a portion of what he said:
a. “The point made here is that they are only teachers (or preachers) and do not practice what they teach as God sees it.”
Here is what the NIV says:
b. “But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.”
Hmmm… Seems like the translators made the same observation as A. T. Robertson. LOL!
10) Muhammad was a pedophile. His consummation of his marriage to Aisha when she was nine years old is well known and common knowledge.
11) The quran states that he had an “exalted character”.
a. Surah 68. AlQalam: “4. And verily, you (O Muhammad) are on an exalted (standard of) character.”
12) The quran states that his example is a “good example” to follow.
a. Surah 33. AlAhzab: “21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much.”
13) Mohammedans across the globe follow that example and are pedophiles because it, pedophilia, is inherent within that depraved religion.
a. “Marrying a young girl before she reaches the age of adolescence is permitted in sharee’ah; indeed it was narrated that there was scholarly consensus on this point.
i. (a) Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the ‘Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubt (about their periods), is three months; and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their ‘Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise” [alTalaaq 65:4]
ii. In this verse we see that Allaah has made the ‘iddah in the case of divorce of a girl who does not have periods – because she is young and has not yet reached puberty – three months. This clearly indicates that Allaah has made this a valid marriage.”
14) You have miserably failed to demonstrate any kind of “moral equivalency” because there is none.
15) You continue to defend the pedophilia of your prophet and other Mohammedans.
16) What a depraved religion you have.

Told you, he's interesting. Like finding a fascinating new bug. You don't have to take action to clinically be a pedophile. You just have to be obsessed with it.

What's worse? Someone manipulating and exploiting little girls or the one who tries to bring attention to the fact?

What's worse? Someone justifying the manipulation and exploitation of little girls or the one who brings attention to their plight?

Well, we know your answer...
