okeyxyz: Everything you write above is all abstract, but you have not nailed it down to reality...

A christian is simply someone who is free from sin through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For the law which condemns us of sin are now abolished. With the law no longer in the way, so likewise is sin no longer in the way.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law(1 Corinthians 15:56 );

It is impossible for you to sin.
No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God(1 john 3:9 )

Therefore All-Things you used to think were sins(makes you unworthy of godhood) are no longer sins, and you are set free to go as you please.[size=16pt]So se.x without marriage cannot be sin, drinking alcohol cannot be sin, gambling cannot be sin, smoking cannot be sin, etc[/size]
...FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS(1 Corinthians 10:26 )

You are left to your own senses to use this new found freedom as you please. You can either use it wisely to your own profit or foolishly to your own loss and sorrows,
All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify(1 Corinthians 10:23 )

but they are not sins for it is impossible for god to sin.

Segeggs: who told you catholics formed christianity?christianity is not a religion but a way of life started by jesus christ,the author and finisher of our faith;catholics only highjacked and corrupted it cos none of their worship and practices can be traced to jesus nor the early apostles which are the true new testament writers.catholism is pagan
Thank you my broda, enlighten the people. Christianity is not a religion like you have said. Very correct.
It was mentioned in the Scriptures, this is how the none believers see/call those that believe and practice the ways of Christ.
Catholic was not yet, when the world Christian was used in the Scripture.



Acts 11:26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.


Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?"

[size=14pt]Because trouser covers n.akedness more than skirt. cheesy Does that scripture mention trouser? Even if you're reading it to mean trouser and skirts, doesn't women have female trouser? [/size] Besides, isn't that written to the Jews? The New Testament ONLY supports moderations and doesn't tell women what to wear or what not to wear. I do NOT by any means teach that a woman should dress n.aked but that scripture was between God and the Jews. If you're gonna obey that scripture, you'll need to read the WHOLE passage and follow other laws in the same passage. Besides, which is better - To wear trouser to church or not wear to church BUT wear outside the church during the week?

Do you want me to quote the whole passage for you?

[size=16pt]It is reported from Ismail ibn Ibrahim from Ayyub from Naafi from Ibn Umar who said: "Let none of you say ‘I have acquired the whole of the Qur'an'. How does he know what all of it is when much of the Qur'an has disappeared? Rather let him say 'I have acquired what has survived.’” (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur'an, p. 524).

F00028: @plappville
then roman catholic bible has 73 books while that of protestants has only 66 books. did the catholics corrupt the bible by adding or have the protestants by subtracting ?
I see you still ignore the dirty in your nose and tend to clean up someone's own.

’Ibn Umar al–Khattab explicitly admits, The Quran is not a complete book, there are missing piece. You know nothing, these are Muhammed's companions.

"Let no one of you say that he has acquired the entire Qur’an for how does he know that it is all? Much of the Qur’an has been lost, thus let him say, ‘I have acquired of it what is available"’ (Suyuti: Itqan, part 3, page 72).

What about A’isha? (also page 72) adds to the story of ibn Umar and says,

[size=14pt]"During the time of the prophet, the chapter of the Parties used to be two hundred verses when read.
When Uthman edited the copies of the Qur’an, only the current (verses) were recorded" (73 verses).[/size]


The same statement is made by Ubay ibn Ka’b, one of the great companions. On page 72, part 3, the Suyuti says:

"This famous companion asked one of the Muslims, ‘How many verses in the chapter of the Parties?’ He said, ‘Seventy-two or seventy-three verses.’ He (Ubay) told him, ‘It used to be almost equal to the chapter of the Cow (about 286 verses) and included the verse of the stoning.’ The man asked, ‘What is the verse of the stoning?’ He said, ‘If an old man or woman committed adultery, stone them to death."’

This same story and same dialogue which took place between the companion and one of the Muslims is recorded by Ibn Hazm (volume 8, part 11, pages 234 and 235). Then Ibn Hazm said,

"’Ali Ibn Abi Talib said this has a reliable chain of authority (The Sweetest [Al Mohalla] vol. 8.)."

The Zamakh-shari also cited it in his book, "al-Kash-Shaf’ (part 3, page 518).

These are unquestionable statements made by the pillars of the Islamic religion who transmitted Muhammad’s sayings and biography, "The Tradition", and who interpreted the Qur’an— among them Ibn ’Umar, A’isha, Ubay Ibn Ka’b and ’Ali Ibn Abi Talib. Ibn ’Umar states that a large part of the Qur’an was missed. A’isha and Ubay Ibn Ka’b assert that dozens of verses from the "Chapter of the Parties" have been lost. ’Ali confirms that, too. In regard to this particular verse, the following incident is recorded in "The Itqan" by Suyuti (part 1, page 168),

"During the collection of the Qur’an, people used to come to Zayd Ibn Thabit (with the verses they memorized). He shunned recording any verse unless two witnesses attested to it. The last verse of chapter of Repentance was found only with Khuzayma Ibn Thabit. Zayd said, ‘Record it because the apostle of God made the testimony of Khuzayma equal to the testimony of two men.’ ’Umar came with the verse of the stoning but it was not recorded because he was the only witness to it."

One can only wonder and ask, "Does ’Umar need another witness to agree with him? Would he lie to God and the Qur’an? Because of that, ’Umar said after that, "If it were not that people would say, "Umar has added to the book of God’, I would have recorded the verse of the stoning" (part 3, page 75 of the Itqan). Refer also to skiek Kishk’s book (part 3, page 64). Another confession by A’isha:

One can only wonder and ask, "Does ’Umar need another witness to agree with him? Would he lie to God and the Qur’an? Because of that, ’Umar said after that, "If it were not that people would say, "Umar has added to the book of God’, I would have recorded the verse of the stoning" (part 3, page 75 of the Itqan). Refer also to skiek Kishk’s book (part 3, page 64). Another confession by A’isha:

How come a Domesticated Animal can do so much damage by Eating the Kuranic Verses and Allah just sit and watch it? tongue

God didn't need to restore the Torah period! His last revelation supersedes it
Muhammed and You muslims are the ones with problem, the prophets and servants did had any.
According to the Scripture, they used it. The meaning of the pen of the scribes has nothing to do with changing what was penned down by God.

If God cannot restore His word and allows His prophets/servants to practice it, then He is not a God at the first place. Hence the bible cannot lie, Muhammed is the false prophet according to the bible. He is the one that came to curse damage to the word of God, He is the one who have decieved many.

F00028: The rightful translation of the meanings of this
narration is;
ﻋﻦ ﺍﺑﻦ ﻋﻤﺮ، ﻗﺎﻝ : ﻻ ﻳﻘﻮﻟﻦ ﺃﺣﺪﻛﻢ ﻗﺪ ﺃﺧﺬﺕ ﺍﻟﻘﺮﺁﻥ
ﻛﻠﻪ ﻭﻣﺎ ﻳﺪﺭﻳﻪ ﻣﺎ ﻛﻠﻪ؟ ﻗﺪ ﺫﻫﺐ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻗﺮﺁﻥ ﻛﺜﻴﺮ،
ﻭﻟﻜﻦ ﻟﻴﻘﻞ : ﻗﺪ ﺃﺧﺬﺕ ﻣﻨﻪ ﻣﺎ ﻇﻬﺮ ﻣﻨﻪ
Ibn `Umar, who said: ‘None of you should
say that he has taken the whole of the
Qur’an; how could he know what all of it
was (before some of it being abrogated)!
Substantial part of the Qur’an has passed
him by (due to abrogation)! Let him say
instead: ‘I have taken of the Qur’an that
which (remained and) became apparent
(after abrogation).”
Now it hurts you so much that you now have to put the fault on translation? Did you care looking at other translations in Jeremiah 8:8 before jubilating undecided undecided
thinking you have put a hock in the throat of those with the Bible? Well, i have nothing positive with the quran after all, i know it is not a confirmed book. There are so many proofs.
But, everyone has His opinion. You believed it for a reason, good for you, vise/versa. This exposition of the quran is so plain!
You mistook Jeremiah 8:8 out of context not minding the consiquencses, JEREMIAH himself made it plain what he meant.
In Jeremiah 26: 4-6 we are told that the Law still exists and should be followed:

"Say to them, ‘This is what the LORD says: If you do not listen to me and follow MY LAW, which I have set before you, and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened) then I will make this house like Shiloh and this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.’"( Jeremiah 26:4-6)

Hence if the Mosaic Law still exists and should be followed, how can it be corrupted? And Interestingly a few decades later Daniel the prophet reads the book of Jeremiah: Ezra Jesus read it, but you follow Zawadi to say they didn't read it or that they read the corrupted book? shocked This is crazy, how can God pretend/lie to His prophets?
Infact, Wazadi must be dreaming, He exposes the Koran the more with his weak and assumptious arguments.

According to your Quran, God didn’t need to restore the Torah since it wasn’t corrupted and was already perfect as the prophet David explicitly taught:

THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PERFECT, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are TRUSTWORTHY, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7

This alone is a big blow to Zawadi's weak claim, He made the Quran contradicts itself.. tongue
Christianity Etc › Re: According To Jesus Christ Being A Muslim Makes All The Difference! by plappville(f): 2:19pm On Jan 31, 2013
[size=16pt]Conclusion[/size]
Zawadi: Jeremiah 8:8 is explicitly clear when it states that the Law has been corrupted. We are not even sure if Jeremiah is really the true author of this book. We don't have any evidence to confirm if he wrote the whole book. So even if Christians try to come up and show verses from the book of Jeremiah that give authority to the Law then that would just simply be contradicting Jeremiah 8:8. Maybe others added to the book to try and cover it up. Only God knows best. Maybe Christians might criticize me for saying that Jeremiah is not reliable yet I use Jeremiah 8:8 to prove that the Bible is corrupt. Well either Jeremiah 8:8 is a true verse and the Bible is corrupted or Jeremiah 8:8 is a corrupted verse but it is in your Bible so your Bible is still corrupted! However, do not expect a subjective Christian to believe the implications of Jeremiah 8:8, they would simply dismiss it. However, use it for those truth seeking and objective Christians.
Jeremiah 8:8 backfires on Mr. Zawadi, and Islam in a much more harmful way, than Zawadi could even imagine. As for the Law of God being corrupted, here is what the Quran has to say:

[size=14pt]Shall I seek other than Allah for judge, when He it is Who hath revealed unto you (this) Scripture, fully explained? Those unto whom We gave the Scripture (aforetime) know that it is revealed from thy Lord in truth. So be not thou (O Muhammad) of the waverers. Perfected is the Word of thy Lord in truth and justice. THERE IS NAUGHT THAT CAN CHANGE HIS WORDS. He is the Hearer, the Knower. S. 6:114-115 Pickthall
[/size]


If the Quran is the word of God, and it claims that nobody can change God’s words and the Law of God was originally God’s word, how can Mr. Zawadi contradict his very own Quran and claim otherwise? He has just made Allah a liar! Returning to the Quran, we read:

"All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel made unlawful for itself[b] before the Torah[/b] was revealed. Say, 'BRING the Torah and READ it, if you are men of truth.' If any, after this, invent a lie and attribute it to God, they are indeed transgressors." S. 3:93-94

They measured not God with a true measure when they said, ‘God has not sent down aught on any mortal.’ Say: ‘Who sent down the Book that Moses brought as a light and a guidance to men? YOU PUT IT INTO PARCHMENTS, REVEALING THEM, and hiding much; and you were taught that you knew not, you and your fathers.’ Then leave them alone, playing their game of plunging. This is a Book We have sent down, blessed[b] AND CONFIRMING THAT WHICH WAS BEFORE IT…[/b] S. 6:91-92 A.J. Arberry


It is quite clear from these passages that the original Torah and the uncorrupted Book of Moses were in the possession of the people of Muhammad’s time. If they were corrupted in the time of Jeremiah then we must conclude that Muhammad mistakenly believed that a corrupt law was actually the very one that God gave to Moses, thereby proving that Muhammad was a false prophet since a true prophet would have known better. In light of the foregoing there really is no need to elaborate further on this apart from saying that Mr. Zawadi has given us another dagger to stab his false religion with! tongue tongue

F00028 Is God not able to preserve the Torah?
He is able to but just because he allowed it to become corrupted does not undermine His power. It could have been God's divine plan for it to have been corrupted because the Law was probably only meant to be followed for a particular point in time unlike the Holy Quran which is the final revelation of God and has remained intact and preserved and is meant to be followed for all time since it has been revealed.
Since Zawadi believes that the Quran is the word of God, and remains intact for all time, then he needs to explain this to us:

Say: Have you considered if it is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, and a witness from among the children of Israel has borne witness of one like it (mithlihi), so he believed, while you are big with pride; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people ... And before it the Book of Musa was a guide and a mercy: and this is a Book VERIFYING (it) IN the Arabic language that it may warn those who are unjust and as good news for the doers of good. S. 46:10, 12 Shakir

One of the greatest Muslim commentators Ibn Kathir wrote regarding the above:

<(at the same time), a witness from among the Children of Israel has testified to something similar>

meaning, ‘the previous Scriptures that were revealed to the Prophets before me all testify to its truthfulness and authenticity. They have prophesied, well in advance, about things similar to that which this Qur’an informs of.’ Concerning Allah’s statement ...

<and believed>

‘this person who testified to its truthfulness from the Children of Israel, due to his realization that it was the truth.’

<while you rejected (the truth)!>

‘whereas you have arrogantly refused to follow it.’ Masruq said: "That witness believed in his Prophet and Book, while you disbelieved in your Prophet and Book." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir (Abridged) Volume 9 (Surat Al-Jathiyah to the end of Surat Al-Munafiqun), First Edition: September 2000, pp. 52-53; cf. online edition)

The late Christian scholar of Islam Sir William Muir wrote about the Quran’s view of God’s true word:

A Jew, either residing in the vicinity of Mecca, or having visited it perhaps from Medina or elsewhere,—at any rate known at Mecca,—is quoted to the people of Mecca as bearing testimony to the correspondence of the Corân with the Jewish Scriptures, and accordingly believing in it. "Does not this," says Mahomet, "prove the divine inspiration of the Corân, and yet ye proudly reject it?"

So Baidhâwi,— على مثله مثل القران وهو ما في التوراة من المعاني المصدقة القرآن المطابقة له أو مثل ذالك وهو كونه من عندالله فآمن أي بالقرآن لما رائي من خبر الوحي مطابقاً للحق


"To the like-thereof, i. e. like the Corân, and the meaning is that the contents of the Tourât (Pentateuch) by their purport attest the Corân, as corresponding therewith, or resembling it;—and thus prove its being from God. And believed, that is, in the Corân, when he (the Jew) saw the intimations of Inspiration corresponding with the truth." (Sir William Muir, The Corân: Its Composition and Teaching, p. 84; bold emphasis ours)


Note the structure of the argument: because he assumed the divine origin of the Torah, the author of the Quran argued that since his Quran is "like the Torah" this therefore proves that it is of divine origin as well. In this context at least, the Quran seeks to derive proof for its inspiration from the authority of the Torah. In light of this, how can Zawadi remain a Muslim when he believes that the Torah was corrupted before or around the time of Jeremiah whereas his false prophet Muhammad believed the contrary, going so far as to claim that his Quran is actually a verification of it in Arabic?

In fact, using Zawadi’s logic would further prove that the Quran is also a corrupted text since it is nothing more than an Arabic version of a text that had been falsified by the lying pen of the scribes!

F00028: Daniel Chapter 9 shows that Daniel read from the Book of Jeremiah and also believed in an uncorrupt Torah. This shows that Daniel did not understand Jeremiah 8:8 to mean that the text of the Law was corrupted.

First of all the only evidence of what verses that Daniel read from the Book of Jeremiah are Jeremiah 25:11, 12 and 29:10 where God predicts that Israel would be taken into captivity to Babylon for 70 years. This does not prove that he read the whole book of Jeremiah.
Even if there was proof that he read the whole book of Jeremiah that does not mean anything. Daniel could have easily misunderstood the passage just like how Christians are today. Maybe he twisted around its true meaning just like how Christians do today because he they don't want to admit that their scripture is corrupted.
It is very apparent that Mr. Zawadi is obviously arguing with nothing but hot air. Logically if he concludes that:
Because Daniel read parts of the law about the 70 years captivity in Babylon it doesn’t prove that he read the whole book.
It can logically be concluded also that: Because Daniel didn’t read the whole book, that THE WHOLE BOOK WASN’T IN EXISTENCE.

F00028: God could have restored the Torah just like how he did with Jeremiah's own revelations in Jeremiah 36:1-7, 20-32, 27-32
Irrelevant, because Jeremiah 8:8 does not say that God restored the Law. Yes he could have done it. God could do anything. But the verse didn't say that.
God didn’t need to restore the Torah since it wasn’t corrupted and was already perfect as the prophet David explicitly taught:
THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PERFECT, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are TRUSTWORTHY, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7

According to the Quran, David was given his revelations and wisdom by Allah himself:

"Before this, We wrote in the Psalms (al-Zaburi), after THE REMINDER (Zhikri): `My servants, the righteous, shall inherit the earth.'" Surah 21:105

"Then if they reject thee, so were rejected messengers before thee, who came with Clear Signs, The Scriptures (Zuburi), and the Book of Enlightenment." S. 3:184

"Without doubt it is (announced) IN the revealed Books of former peoples (Zubu-ril-'awwaliin)." S. 26:196

"Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity IN the Sacred Books (Zubur)?" S. 54:43

"And if they reject thee, so did their predecessors, to whom came their messengers with Clear Signs, Scriptures (Zuburi), and the Book illuminating." S. 35:25


Finally, the following citation demonstrates that there were Muslims who had no problem in accepting all of the OT Psalms as revelation:

Then Allah, may He be glorified and honored, revealed to Da'ud (David), the Psalms, that is al-zabur, which are ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY in number and IN THE HANDS OF THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS. (Abu 'l-Faraj Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Nadim, The Fihrist - A 10th Century AD Survey of Islamic Culture, edited and translated by Bayard Dodge [Great Books of the Islamic World, Inc., Columbia University Press, 1970], p. 43; bold and capital emphasis ours)

Although this source erroneously attributes all 150 Psalms to David, this nonetheless demonstrates that some Muslims wholeheartedly embraced and accepted all of the OT Psalms as God's revealed Word.

Hence, not only does the Quran say that Allah personally wrote the Psalms, but it also says that the Psalms were given to other Prophets besides David!! Therefore, since Zawadi believes that the law was corrupted, and yet since David believed that the law was perfect and flawless, then he has basically shown that the Quran is wrong and corrupted as well! Amazing! If David says that the law of God is perfect and then the Quran claims that Allah wrote the Psalms through David then this means that both Allah and the Quran are liars based on Mr. Zawadi’s fantastic research!

F00028: Jesus gave authority to the Law in the Gospels

How do you know that Jesus even read Jeremiah 8:8? How do you know that Jesus truly gave authority to the Law? Because your Gospel says so? How do you know that the Gospel writers truly quoted Jesus' true words? This will get into a discussion of the authority of the Gospels so lets not go there. However, you cannot use the Bible to prove the Bible has not been corrupted. This is just circular reasoning.
Mr. Zawadi’s argument becomes more humorous by the second. He claims that:
However, you cannot use the Bible to prove the Bible has not been corrupted. This is just circular reasoning.
Now since he is such a master of logical fallacies, it apparently never occurred to him that on the flip side:
You cannot use the Bible to prove that the Bible is corrupted for this would also be circular reasoning.
Why is it okay to use the Bible in his argument, but then call the very same reasoning circular if used by Christians to prove the exact opposite? If Mr. Zawadi objects to this then why does he say in his conclusion below:

Well either Jeremiah 8:8 is a true verse and the Bible is corrupted or Jeremiah 8:8 is a corrupted verse but it is in your Bible so your Bible is still corrupted!
It is obvious that he is using a circular argument by using the Bible against the Bible, but won’t allow Christians to use the Bible on behalf of the Bible. Mr. Zawadi seems to be ignorant of the fact that Bible ISN’T ONE BOOK, but a collection of many books brought together from over a span of 3000 years as one authoritative source from God. Hence, it isn’t circular reasoning to use the Bible in defense of the Bible for in history as well as scientific study, different sources validating the same information is considered sufficient evidence.

F00028: Even your own Quran says that Jesus came to confirm the Law

The Gospel was given to Prophet Jesus to confirm what remained intact from the Torah; and the Glorious Quran was given to Prophet Mohamed (saws) to confirm what remained intact from the Gospel and The Law!
Let’s look at what Jesus had to say about the law:

"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." Matthew 5:18

Jesus claimed that the Torah as it exists would not pass away until all was fulfilled. Zawadi obviously may have a problem with this and may claim that since it comes from the Gospel it proves nothing. But the problem for him is that he has no Islamic source whatsoever from the time of Jesus that says something different. So basically Zawadi wants us to accept Muhammad and the Quran as more authentic sources of information on the life of Jesus, even though they came 600 years after Christ, and discard the documents that came from the first century period right around the time Christ actually lived!

Let us now move on to the meaning of Jeremiah 8:8. After all, if Jeremiah 8:8 does not mean that the text of the Torah had been corrupted what then did Jeremiah mean by the statement that the lying pens of the scribes have falsified it? A careful reading of the context leads us to believe that Jeremiah was referring to the written commentaries of the scribes whereby they falsely interpreted the law of God, leading people astray by their traditions. A similar situation arose between Jesus and the scribes and Pharisees:

"Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 'Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat!' Jesus replied, 'And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?... Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 'these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'" Matthew 15:1-3,6b-9

In a similar fashion, Jeremiah was rebuking the scribes for their traditions that were leading the people to reject the word of God. This can be seen from the passage that immediately follows verse 8:

"The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have REJECTED the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have.” Jeremiah 8:9

As we said earlier, it is pretty hard to reject God’s word if that word was no longer available! Thus, we see no
evidence whatsoever that Jeremiah believed that the text of the Law had been corrupted.
Since Zawadi has been trying to quote the Bible to prove that it is corrupted, it is time for us to return the favor. Here is what Zawadi’s false book says about its own text:

[size=14pt]"Like as We sent down on the dividers Those who made the Quran INTO SHREDS. So, by your Lord, We would most certainly question them all, As to what they did." S. 15:90-93 Shakir[/size]

Since he believes that the Quran is the word of God then he should obviously have no problem with the Quran claiming that there were those WHO SHREDDED IT! Islamic scholar Alphonse Mingana made the following interesting comments regarding these verses:

[size=16pt]"Finally, if we understand correctly the following verse of Suratul-Hijr (xv. 90-91): 'As we sent down upon (punished) the dividers (of the Scripture?) who broke up the Koran into parts,' we are tempted to state that even when the Prophet was alive, some changes were noticed in the recital of certain verses of his sacred book. There is nothing very surprising in this fact, since Muhammad could not read or write, and was at the mercy of friends for the writing of his revelations, or, more frequently, of some mercenary amanuenses." (Mingana, "Three Ancient Korans", The Origins of the Koran - Classic Essays on Islam's Holy Book, ed. by Ibn Warraq [Prometheus Books, Amherst NY, 1998], p. 84; bold emphasis ours)[/size]

F00028: @Plappville
Zawadi makes a valid point: Jeremiah says they corrupted the law with their "pen" not with their mouths e.g by false interpretations, false readings,etc

and he's right, if it was just a question of misinterpretation or false reading why not simply go to the pure text and ignore the scribes?

however Jeremiah 8:7. tells you they don't know and Jeremiah 8:8 tells you why i.e the "lying pen" of the scribes has altered the text?

and please note by bringing up other portions of the bible that command following the same law Jeremiah has declared corrupt actually does not resolve the issue rather it complicates it for you.

for the question arises: " why would God let one prophet command observance of a law that another prophet has declared corrupted?" undecided


ps: I have not forgotten your post about the Qur'an. I will reply it.
God would not allowed suche because it was not the case. Like i have said before, Arguing from the passage in Jeremiah 8 that the Torah is corrupted in its text would be going against the testimony of Jesus, against the testimony of the whole of God's prophets, and is an argument from silence, since it does not say so at all. The context makes it fully clear that this speaks about false interpretation and application of the word of God.

For your Quranic reply, take ur time bro..I continue from DANIEL.

F00028:It is very clear from the text that the scribes have corrupted the Law (first 5 books of the Old Testament). How did they corrupt it? With their mouths by giving false interpretations? No! They did so with their "pens". Meaning they altered the text of the Law. How else could a pen corrupt something
Hahahaha, Bassam Zawadi has been refuted correctly, there is no cough of him again on this issue. See it:

Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD. "`How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? the wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. SINCE THEY HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD, WHAT KIND OF WISDOM DO THEY HAVE? Jeremiah 8:8-9

Even the stork in the heavens knows her times; and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming; but my people know not the ordinance of the LORD. "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. The wise men shall be put to shame, they shall be dismayed and taken; lo, THEY HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD, and what wisdom is in them? Jeremiah 8:8-9 RSV


One who looks at the immediate context will see that God poses a question to show why the false scribes cannot claim to be wise, and in verse 9 he answers that question by saying BECAUSE THEY REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD (HIS LAW). In light of such rejection, WHAT TYPE OF WISDOM COULD THEY CLAIM TO HAVE? We see that there is no mention that these scribes corrupted the Bible. If verse 8 was claiming that the law was corrupted then why is God calling it his word in verse 9? This is something Mr. Zawadi has failed to address.

F00028: Jeremiah 26:4 says that God still
commanded them to follow the Law. How
could this be if the Law has been
corrupted?
God will not command His children to follow a corrupt law, He will not allow such, this is where Zawadi's argument remained blind.. tongue

Read the bold yourself...assumption is baseless....: I will post verse that proved that when God talk about the prophets, This include Moses bro...don't be decieved by Zawadi.

[size=14pt]This does not necessarily have to be
referring to the Law of Moses.[/size] It's
possible it could be referring to the
revelations that God had sent down to
Jeremiah. e.g.. Jeremiah Chapter 7 and 36
In Nehemiah, chapter 8 we find that Ezra
reads the Law to the people of Israel for a
whole week, day after day. For example in
verses 8, 13-14, and 18. This is in about
430 B.C. about 180 years after Jeremiah's
temple address which took place in 609 or
608 B.C., the first year of the reign of king
Jehoiakim (see Jeremiah 26:1). In Malachi
4:4, God tells the people to follow the
Law.
When confronted with an obvious kryptonite response to his argument Mr. Zawadi must now revert to the typical Islamic misinformation by claiming “oh well, it doesn’t actually refer to the Law of Moses”. So let’s assume that he believes that it was referring to the revelations God sent down to Jeremiah, this is still going to work against Mr. Zawadi, for the very verse he tries to use in his defense, Jeremiah 26:4, backfires against him:

Jeremiah 26 4 Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have set before you,
5[size=14pt] and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again [/size](though you have not listened)
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh and this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.


As you can clearly see, this passage mentions that:

1. You must follow the law, which God sent down WHICH WAS BEFORE JEREMIAH (eliminating any chance that this only refers to Jeremiah since many prophets came before him).
2. You must listen to the words of God’s servant’s the prophets, which God had sent over and over again.


So based on this passage, the law God was referring to is that which preceded Jeremiah and the words of the prophets refers to the message that God sent Israel throughout their history, calling them to repent and turn back to the law in order to avoid its wrath. Mr. Zawadi’s entire argument crumbles before our very eyes and his explanation falls flat on his face. tongue

Again, see how Mr ZAWADI atricle misled you:

F00028:[size=14pt]This does not necessarily have to be
referring to the Law of Moses.[/size]
malachi 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
This same corrupt law is to be remembered?...get knowledge and stop running around ZAWADI'S ARTICLES.

Jesus also instructed His disciple to put in practice this corrupt law?Matthew 23: 2 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.


Do you know what it means by "MOSES SEAT"? when you sit on that seat, you have no right to interpret the scrolls, you just read what is in it to the hearing of the people. That is why Jesus told his disciple, "So you must obey them and do everything they tell you." But once they are no longer siting on the seat, they do things different from what they read in the scroll. So this Book was not tempered with, hence, Jesus wouldn't use it likewise other prophets before Him.


In Nehemiah, chapter 8 we find that Ezra reads the Law to the people of Israel for a whole week, day after day. For example in verses 8, 13-14, and 18. This is in about 430 B.C. about 180 years after Jeremiah's temple address which took place in 609 or 608 B.C., the first year of the reign of king Jehoiakim (see Jeremiah 26:1). In Malachi 4:4, God tells the people to follow the Law.

Again mr ZAWADI says:
F00028: This is irrelevant because Christians are
assuming that these books of Nehemiah
and Malachi are truly from God. Maybe
they were following the same corrupted
Law that Christians are following today.
This proves nothing.
Actually Mr. Zawadi is wrong again. Let’s reiterate what he said earlier:
He said: Jeremiah 26:4 says that God still commanded them to follow the Law. How could this be if the Law has been corrupted?
Mr ZAWADI: This does not necessarily have to be referring to the Law of Moses. It's possible it could be referring to the revelations that God had sent down to Jeremiah. e.g.. Jeremiah Chapter 7 and 36
But what does Jeremiah 26:4-6 say:If you do not listen to me and follow MY LAW, WHICH I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU, AND if you do not listen to the words of MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened)

As you can see, both the law AND THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS were considered equal in God’s eyes, therefore prophets like Ezra and Malachi wouldn’t be following a corrupted law, and their words would be the very words of God himself. Also Mr. Zawadi doesn’t explain to us how this is irrelevant, because apparently he doesn’t know. Claiming that Christians are assuming that Nehemiah and Malachi are from God as the grounds to reject their testimony as irrelevant IS BASED ON HIS ASSUMPTION THAT JEREMIAH IS FROM GOD AND NEHEMIAH AND MALACHI AREN’T FROM GOD. In other words, he accepts Jeremiah 8:8 as God’s word, as trustworthy enough to prove that the law was corrupted. Yet, when other writers and prophets prove him wrong, or show that he has no clue what he is talking about, since that verse doesn’t say that the text of the Law was corrupted, he then rejects their testimony on the basis that they are not prophets and their views are therefore not necessarily true!

If Mr. Zawadi wants to reject Christian thinking because of their assumption, how can he answer our supposed assumption WITH ANOTHER ASSUMPTION? He has committed the fallacy of begging the question, calling Christian thinking irrelevant without proving it irrelevant other than assuming that Jeremiah 8:8 is more trustworthy than all the other verses in the Bible, and even more reliable than the rest of the statements of Jeremiah that happen to explain what Jeremiah 8:8 does and does not mean! That's like answering a question with another question.

I will come to you with the rest refuting when am chanced, becareful of ZAWADI'S Articles. Im just loving this because He contradict and confused himself. grin

Pacify: Because you do not believe in all the trash you wrote does not mean everyone must follow suit. And because of your lack of faith and disparity, you have not been endowed with the blessings of praying the rosary. If you must know, the CAtholic church still remains the single, most populated religion in the whole world with an estimated ONE BILLION people so as far as the Church is concerned, you are just an insignificant few. And as for the rosary that you ignorantly spoke about, I as a person, has been blessed beyond compare from praying the rosary. I don't have to defend God or fight you over your ignorance, but one thing I must tell you is that neither the Bible, Rosary nor even Jesus Christ can heal you or grant you your heart request if you have no faith. I pray the rosary and I can categorically tell you that I have received EVERY SINGLE THING I ever prayed for through it.
