Quote:such as? put it here, so we can prove how the Qur'an never contradicted to each other.
Well, see, it's not quite that simple.
First of all, if you'll notice from my post, I didn't say that I'm trying to prove contradictions in the Quran. It seems that people keep trying to "limit" me to this 1 goal, but that's not it at all.
When I say things are contradictory, that does NOT simply mean the Quran contradicting itself. That could mean the Quran contradicts earlier revelations yet claims to be essentially the same message or from the same God. It could mean that there are contradictions between Quranic teachings and Hadith; it could mean that there are contradictions between the Quran and history or archaeology, it could be all of these or more.
Secondly, you brought out only this 1 item of <i>contradictions</i> while leaving out the rest of what I said. Some things simply aren't clear, don't make sense, etc.
The last thing is, I can't simply sit down and write a couple of lines of text explaining all the unexplained/unanswered questions about Islam (which, of course, is more than Quran alone). I would probably have to write a book to contain it all.
That's why, as questions emerge or take the forefront in my mind, I'll usually just start a thread or make a post with that question.
What's been happening is that with 1 seemingly simple question, it takes around 20 posts just to even get started with getting answers. People sometimes assume what I'm saying and thus end up off-track in providing a response; or there are links to other sites posted that I have to go read, then come back with a response; sometimes I have to provide background information on what I already know so that we can move beyond that, etc., etc.
So, you see, if it takes all of that JUST to get started with ONE question, then there's no way that I can list out ALL of them at once. We'd have total chaos around here. :-)
