As with many things, terms change or lose their meanings with time. Fundamentalism and Liberalism were both movements within Christianity in the early 20th Century. They are not necessarily aligned with the terms as we use them today. -Pie Last edited by EatingPie; 10-04-2010 at 07:40 PM. |

as far as the koran, it is a known and widely accepted fact that after the death of mohammed, there was a bit of a power struggle, all known copies of the koran were confiscated, and it was re-written in a form more acceptable to those in power. |

I think stating that is even more offensive to them then the actual burning of their holy book. |

Your post is rife with terminology, but not a single citation to back it up. As a counter, Matthew's gospel was cited by Ignatius, who died around 107 AD (meaning the gospel existed prior to that and could easily have been an eyewitness account). The fall of the Temple is not mentioned in any gospel, something that would have bolstered accounts of Jesus' prophesy of that very event. This suggest that the gospels pre-dated 70AD. This is evidence that these texts were written by either eye-witnesses, or people like Luke who likely documented the events from other eye-witnesses. WT cited Ehrman, which I had read, and counter-cited Ehrman's mentor. Crap, I said I didn't want to go down this road. My intent had been to illustrated that the Koran did not continue the tradition of Christianity. Talk about lost in the shuffle. -Pie Last edited by EatingPie; 10-04-2010 at 09:26 PM. |

Hehehe!
We actually agree on other points, but I was trying to avoid retreading this subject.... I know what you're thinking: "How's that working out for you?" -Pie Last edited by EatingPie; 10-04-2010 at 10:01 PM. |

It takes at least 10 to 20 years to learn Arabic. I tried and at my age I had to give up. The english translations are good for explaining the message. I have a friend who has recently upgraded his Arabic skills and he says that the Koranic poetry is intence.
The english translation I now read is the Asad version. http://arthursbookshelf.com/koran/me...the_quran.epub Last edited by Arthursbedtime; 10-08-2010 at 10:15 PM. |
