ok 3:31,2:222,9:108
But why is this love only expressed from allah to his believers and within themselves in setting theirselves apart for allah alone?

PastorKun:
This is the koko of the matter, it's not about if the word love is mentioned in the quoran, it's about whether the quoran teaches it's adherents to love.

@OP maybe you should rephrase your headline to ask if the quoran teaches love.
Noted cool, may a thread on that will be coming soon!

Surat Al-Jāthiyah (The Crouching) - سورة الجاثية

45:14
Say (O Muhammad SAW) to the believers to forgive those who (harm them and) hope not for the Days of Allah (i.e. His Recompense), that He may recompense people according to what they have earned
This verse does not address my post above..i specified about the love to unbelievers, neighbours etc.

Ifeann:
To be fair on the muslims the word'LOVE' appears about
45 times in the whole of theQuran mostly in expressions such as( in love; love of wealth; love of life; love of Allah; love of woman; love of self; love of other believers or love in the abstract; 2:177; 3:31, 103, 119;5:54; 9:23; 19:96; 38:32 etc).
[size=18pt]
TheQuran, unlike the Bibledoes not encourage love of strangers or any others who are not'believers in Allah and his prophet'.[/size]

In theBibleon the other hand, this word is mentioned at least[b]155[/b] times in all its forms and manifestations. In the form ofloving the STRANGER(Lev.19:34; Deut10:19) & NEIGHBOUR (Lev.19:18), the Quran is silent.

The ordinances on how well to treat the stranger and neighbourare over[b]150[/b] times in theBiblewhile none are mentioned in theQuran.

"Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are harsh to the unbelievers but merciful to one another" Quran 48:29
Thank you ifeann...I myself I doubted it, cause I was not really sure about it but at least am sure of what it is now..but that last verse which you quoted from the quran in your comment is really troubling.

Chapter (3) sūrat āl ʿim'rān (The Family of Imrān)
l Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will[size=17pt] love[/size] you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful

Chapter (2) sūrat l-baqarah (The Cow)

And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah[size=17pt] loves[/size] those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."



Chapter (9) sūrat l-tawbah (The Repentance)

: Do not stand [for prayer] within it - ever. A mosque founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy for you to stand in. Within it are men who love to purify themselves; and Allah [size=17pt]loves[/size] those who purify themselves.

Chapter (3) sūrat āl ʿim'rān (The Family of Imrān)

: And as to those who believe and do good deeds, He will pay them fully their rewards; and Allah does not [size=17pt]love[/size] the unjust







SHOULD I CONTINUE
Thanks for your contribution..but you did not specify the particular verses of those chapters. I also noticed that the love proclaimed in these verses are only from allah to the believers...what about love to enemies, neighbours, one another, families and even spouse?

Will love to see more verses tho!

Heaven is a metaphysical realm..no one has been there except the one who descended from there (the son of God). so no one can really say much.

Did you bother reading any post of this conversation?
I gave an account of a christian cult asserting the earth to be 6000 years old....you asked follow up questions on that(which is a normal thing to do), then went on to ask for "evidence" in the "bible" from someone who doesn't hold that belief(which is me)...
If anyone is presenting a strawman(i.e misrepresenting a case), then it's you.
Mr. the age of the earth is not my problem here...my question was over the claims that Adam lived alongside dinosaurs and I asked which evidence do you have for that and you referred me t one "ken ham and dinosaurs"...which sounds like a fairy tale to me..and I said I would have taken you seriously if it were from the bible which I believe in and base my argument. You dont have to belief in the bible to refer to it just like you didnt take "ken ham and dinosaurs" for truth before pointing to his article as your source.

Now in a nutshell, since this is not from the bible which I strongly believe in then your "ken ham and dinosaurs" story is.....
























In my dustbin right now. undecided

Same happened to you too by believing in a virgin birth and human living more than 900yrs in mere 6000yrs ago despite davien was wrong too cus science projected more than he estimated about time frame of dinosaurs existence on earth
Of course humans lived that longer because they were the early creations, strong and durable to their natural surrounding , the bible attest to it, but how Davien came up with Adam living and riding alongside with T-Rexes is an empty claim to me. undecided

ayoku777:
You obviously didn't understand the point Maamin was making.

Adam was 130 when he gave birth to Seth (Gen 5v3). And Adam died at the age of 930 (Gen 5v5).

Meaning that Adam was still alive for the first 800 years of Seth's life. Seth was 800 when Adam died. And Seth died at the age of 912 (Gen 5v8).

So for you to get the time frame that elapsed between when Adam was born to the time Seth died. You can't get it by adding Adam's age to Seth's age (930 + 912). That will presume that Seth was born after Adam died. But Adam was only 130 when Seth was born.

So if Adam was 130 when Seth was born and Seth lived for 912 years. The total time frame will be:

130 + 912 = 1042

Not;

930 + 912 = 1842

Also Seth was 557 years and Adam was 687 years when Methuselah was born; meaning that Seth still lived for the first 355 years of Methuselah's 969 years

So the total timeframe between when Adam's birth and Methuselah's death would be:

130 + 557 + 969 = 1656

Not;

930 + 912 + 969 = 2811

Their lifetimes intersected, some lived in eachother's lifetimes. So you can't get the correct total timeframe by adding up the age they died. That will give you a wrong overbloated figure.

Shalom!
Thank you very much for this explanation..i told Op to study 'Timeline' I guess he just want to make a blind argument but is left for him to get his calculator to work..i have dropped their timeline above for him. cool

You ve got to be kidding me, why is it that christians always love to defend their beliefs without reasoning? Well according to my post there, Adam and Seth are only the ones in the same timeline. If you can still calculate, you would notice the error, by the way, try to reason this time and not just saying whatever that pops into your brain.
If you know the person typing behind this keyboard, you will understand am not the religious type, it amaze me why you are already thinking am a christian but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I hate lazy students that cant make simple meaning or assessment of issues. Here is their timeline from Wiki,please help yourself out of your misery. And dont bother Quoting me again cause I will not reply you.. I dont talk much.

The timeline of the Tanakh can be estimated using the ages given in Genesis and Jubliees. Starting with the creation of Adam and adding the information when his son was born, the age of his son, etc. this gives a timeline from Adam's creation to the death of Jacob 2255 years later (according to the Masoretic text, the Septuagint timeline is significantly longer).

1 - Adam (generation 1) is created.[1]
130 - Adam and Eve receive a son, Seth (generation 2)
235 - Enosh is born (generation 3)
325 - Kenan is born (generation 4)
395 - Mahalaleel is born (generation 5)
460 - Jared is born (generation 6)
622 - Enoch is born (generation 7)
687 - Methuselah is born (generation cool "Methuselah" can be translated "when he dies it comes."[citation needed]
874 - Lamech is born (generation 9)
930 - Adam dies, aged 930
987 - Enoch taken up by God (did not die [Gen5:24]), aged 365
1042 - Seth dies, aged 912
1056 - Noah is born (generation 10)
1140 - Enosh dies, aged 905
1235 - Kenan dies, aged 910
1290 - Mahalaleel dies, aged 895
1422 - Jared dies, aged 962
1556 - Noah has three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth (generation 11)
1651 - Lamech (Noah's father) dies, aged 777
1656 - Methuselah dies the same year as the flood comes, aged 969
1658 - Arpachshad is born (generation 12)
1693 - Shelah is born (generation 13)
1723 - Eber is born (generation 14)
1757 - Peleg is born (generation 15)
1787 - Reu is born (generation 16)
1819 - Serug is born (generation 17)
1849 - Nahor is born (generation 18)
1878 - Terah is born (generation 19)
1948 - Abraham is born (generation 20)
1958 - Sarah, Abrahams wife, is born
1996 - Peleg dies, aged 239 - this is the first death mentioned in the Bible after the flood
1997 - Nahor dies, aged 148
2006 - Noah, generation 10 after Adam, dies at the age of 950
2026 - Reu dies, aged 239

2049 - Serug dies, aged 230
2083 - Terah dies, aged 205
2085 - Sarah dies
2088 - Isaac is married at the age of 40, to Rebecca

2108 - Jacob is born, with his twin Esau (generation 22)
2123 - Abraham dies, aged 175
2126 - Shelah dies, aged 433
2156 - Shem dies, aged 600
2187 - Eber dies, aged 464
2228 - Isaac dies, aged 180
2238 - Jacob moves to Egypt at the age of 130

The Bible tells us that:
Adam lived 930 years. (Genesis 5:5)
Seth lived 912 years.(Genesis 5:
Methuselah lived 969 years.(Genesis 5:27)
And Noah lived 950 years. (Genesis 9:29). If we calculate those years, they are close to 4000 years. If we add up the generation of moses, Abraham, david, and jesus . I'm sure they would be more than 2000years all making 6000 years. Also according to the bible, Jesus died 2000 years ago. But the bible said the world is only 6000 years old.
I'm not that good at maths but i'm sure there is an error somewhere. Either that or our bible writers couldn't count.
Yes there is an error somewhere and it's from you.

Did you consider that the time frame in which this patriarchs lived is not exactly sub sequential after another? But intertwined within specific time and age of there existence or at which they were given birth to. For example you are in existence and fully grown I believe, Buhari is 72 and am sure you are not up to 30 yet but lets assume u are 30 we cant add up your age and that of Buhari and try to compare it within the time frame or time line of you both existence though the sum up might be a 102 years but the time frame of you both can not be up to 100 years or even 80 because there is an overlap between your age and Buhari's.

Op. I urge u to do more research on the questions u raised plus try to understand the term "timeline"

This topic has been flogged over and over again on NL before. The trinity co-equality is hoax. The Father is not the Son the Son is not the Father the Holy Spirit is more like a force nature and attribute of God, the Holy Spirit can only be of God it proceeds from God who in his nature is a spirit...it was this very spirit that Christ was Anointed with. The bible also made it clear that "it pleases God for His spirit to dwell fully in bodily form of Christ"
