Salam,
I wish this to be a debate between me and infidel_01 regarding his repeated question:
| Quote: |
I'll answer your post, once you will make your position clear on this question:
If we show you an error in quran, will you consider that quran is not from true god, since a true god can't make a single error? |
I will explain in more detail if infidel_01 shows up.
Thank you. |

Hello Farid,
I wasn't aware of this post. Bro HM just let me know of this. Thanks to him. As you might have noticed that I am not active on FFI for couple of weeks due to work pressure at office. Anyway, I will be more than happy to be a part of this debate.
My question still stands. Can we start with you answering that simple question?
PS: I hope that your intension for this debate is not for winning/loosing thing but to find out the truth. _________________ It is NOT IMMORAL for muslims to have non-muslims as slaves and sex slaves; But it is definitely IMMORAL for non-Muslims to own Muslim slaves -- Allah Diya, MTD & NAV;

Salam,
Thank you for showing up. I did not expect you to see it that fast. I was going to message you probably. Anyways, it seems as though you know the details. So we can start.

Well, I expected you to answer so I can see your position. Here is the abridged version, so you can answer:

So, is the Quran not from God, if it has an error?

Farid,
Honestly, I didn't get your point. Please explain.
In my understanding god is supposed to be free from error and can't err. So a book which is claimed to be from god, like quran, can't have an error in it, else it is not direct word of god.
Now what do you think?
Can a book from god have error?
Will you consider such an erroneous book as a divine book? _________________ It is NOT IMMORAL for muslims to have non-muslims as slaves and sex slaves; But it is definitely IMMORAL for non-Muslims to own Muslim slaves -- Allah Diya, MTD & NAV;

Farid,
Lets see what Quran says about Allah:
112:4 "and there is nothing that could be compared with Him"
It means Allah is absolutely perfect beyond any comparisons. Erring is the nature of human beings hence Allah should stay immune to this too. Otherwise, his own claim of being the "incomparable one" will crumble.
BTW, do you think your allah is not perfect and not infallible? _________________ It is NOT IMMORAL for muslims to have non-muslims as slaves and sex slaves; But it is definitely IMMORAL for non-Muslims to own Muslim slaves -- Allah Diya, MTD & NAV;

Salam,
Infidel_01, how is this evidence that the "true god" is perfect. Even if you believe in Quran, this is still no evidence. Are you saying that the Quran is from the "true god" and therefore it has the description of the "true god"? Then by your own admission, the Quran is from the "true god", but you believe it has errors. So therefore, by your admission, a divine book can be from the "true god" and still have errors.
You still have not provided any evidence that the "true god" is perfect. I will be waiting for it.

Thank you. |

Farid,
I was in an impression that you are a muslim. Correct me if I am wrong.
And as I said earlier, I wasn't having a clue what was your point of debate. You never clarified that, even I asked you to do so.
Are you debating about TRUE GOD or ALLAH or both?
To me, Allah mentioned in quran can't be a true god.
So are we debating allah can't err or a true god can't err?
I don't believe that quran is true god's word and since allah/MO claimed in quran that it is allah's word, this allah guy can't be true god. Do you agree with this?
In the second part, you admitted that you don't know whether allah exists or not. So what is your point? If you are a muslim, you have to believe in allah and his messenger MO. If you doubt allah's existance, you are no more a muslim.
If you are not a muslim, then which god/true god you are reffering to? First make your position clear so we can be on the same page. _________________ It is NOT IMMORAL for muslims to have non-muslims as slaves and sex slaves; But it is definitely IMMORAL for non-Muslims to own Muslim slaves -- Allah Diya, MTD & NAV;

Salam,
Yes I am a Muslim.
It seems as though you are confused. Let me make it very simple. You say that Allah can not be a true God, since a true God can not err.
I want you to bring evidence that true God can not err. very simple.
Thank you. |

Thanks farid for admitting that you are a muslim.
In response to my question
| Quote: |
| “BTW, do you think your allah is not perfect and not infallible?” |
you responded with this
| Quote: |

Short and simple answer to you then.., you definitely should have a claim that is contesting to my claim. Otherwise, there is no need of a debate at all.
For example, we would debate on whether global warming is a real threat or not.
Here it is again,
Since you are a muslim, do you believe that allah is perfect or not?
Can allah err or not? _________________ It is NOT IMMORAL for muslims to have non-muslims as slaves and sex slaves; But it is definitely IMMORAL for non-Muslims to own Muslim slaves -- Allah Diya, MTD & NAV;

Salam,
Infidel_01, please do not change the topic. This thread is about your question that you posed. And now I ask you provide evidence that the true God can not err. Then once you give me that, we can judge by that criteria if Allah is the true God or not.
If you have no evidence, then your question should be retracted as it is baseless. That is my point and that is how your question is answered.

We do have different point of view and thus making this a debate. Let me tell you my point of view again. I have not seen Allah, nor do I know Him, therefore, I can not judge wether He is perfect or not or if He errs or not. I do not know "true god", therefore, I can not say that "true god" errs or not. You on the other hand seem to be saying that the "true god" does not err, else your question is simply baseless. So I ask you to provide evidence. Again, if no evidence is brought, your question will discarded as it is, again, baseless.
Thank you. |

Farid, you need some basic understanding. In a debate, we need to have two contesting claims. Since you are not having any claim, there is nothing to debate.
YOu said that "We do have different point of view", but in reality you don't have any point of view. When I say, " god can't err" either you agree with it or you don't. If you agree, no need to debate. But if you don't agree, means you say "god can err", then we have different point of views and then only we have a point to debate. I think, I made it very clear.
You don't know your allah, you don't know true god, you don't know whether it can err or not, you don't know it is perfect or not, but you want to debate about them. This is simply ridiculous.
Okay, let me make it simpler for you. Please tell me what do you understand by god? Or tell me about your allah, which may be easier for you. If you keep evading this basic thing, how can you debate about them?
As you admitted that you don't know about allah and / or god, please learn first and then come to debate.
I don't want to be harsh upon you, but you are lacking basic requirements to be in a debate. Please research more and learn about your allah and / or god. _________________ It is NOT IMMORAL for muslims to have non-muslims as slaves and sex slaves; But it is definitely IMMORAL for non-Muslims to own Muslim slaves -- Allah Diya, MTD & NAV;

salaam,
Infidel_01, you seem to be evading the point of this thread. I have made it very simple for you, yet you have not answered it. You are talking off topic.
You are exactly correct when saying that I do not make any claims, but you do make claims and I am here to ask for that claims evidence.
You, infidel_01, have made a claim that God can not err. Do you have evidence for this?
The point of this thread is to show you that your question does not have any bases and therefore should not be even asked. That is the point of this thread. So please provide evidence that God can not err.
You ask me to learn about God, if you know of a way, then please let us know. Knowing about God is not something basic.
Thank you. |

Oh boy, Am I evading the point of this thread? No dear farid. Its not me but you, who is not able to take any stance and still want to debate. Sorry dear, it does not work that way.

One more time, let me inform you that in a DEBATE, we need two contesting claims. Since you don't have any claim whatsoever, where on the earth the question of a DEBATE arises? Simply out of the world thing, isn't it?

Have you answered my question that what do you understand by GOD or allah? No, you just evaded that. If you don't know anything or don't want to say anything about god/allah, how can you DEBATE about god?

When I asked you this question in another (a month or so ago), we were discussing in reference to allah and his islam and his quran, iirc.
So it all related to your so called all-powerful, all knowing allah. In that topic, we all were discussing based on islamic belief of allah, quran and islam itself. So when I asked you this question it was related to allah. If you really want to be logical, then first proivde the evidance that allah exists. Don't try to play word game. If you want to be logical, be perfectly logical and porve that allah exists, since allah was the centre point of that discussion and hence the context of my question was fully related to allah and quran.

First step to learn about god is to make yourself free from evil cult like islam. Once you do this, you will find the way to god. If you wont, don't hesitate to ask me for further help in learning about him.
Knowing about god may or may not be basic, it is relative. But I was referring to the basics of a debate (which was supposed to be about god, as your thread's title suggests).

So what will you do if we show you an error in quran?
Will you consider that it is not from true god, since true god can't err? |

Now read it and decide by yourself what was the context of my post and to whom I was referring to and to whom it is related to?
PS: By any chance, are you the PUREISLAM as well?
Yeah, I mean multinicking, that too in the same thread!!! Too bad  _________________ It is NOT IMMORAL for muslims to have non-muslims as slaves and sex slaves; But it is definitely IMMORAL for non-Muslims to own Muslim slaves -- Allah Diya, MTD & NAV;
