"we have to follow the Qur'an because it's Allah's revelation; we know the Qur'an is Allah's revelation because Allah has revealed it to us in the Qur'an"
Like Jesus is God but not the Father who is God but not the Holy Spirit who is also God... in different places at the same time....
Going into the why the Qur'an is Allah's revelation... come on... I know you know more about Islam that what you stated. If not, there are many threads dealing with the issue. I'm pretty sure that we would only stray even further from the topic...
Where IS Welmel? :)
"The essential part of worship remains the same before & after changes are made to liturgical/devotional/local practices."
Obviously not a big deal for you... I guess bc Jesus never actually did any of these actions verbatim so they are subject to change.
"At the end of the day, Catholic doctrines aren't hurting anybody, so please just let it be."
That's okay by me... I've been letting them "be" for years now. :)
