Do I need to ask the scholars of the Torah and New Testament if I have my own copies of both? Was He talking to me or to the illiterate Arabs of the 8th Century who did not know the Torah and New Testament by heart?
If you read what the scholars say...it also applies as a general statement to all human beings that we shouldn't just try and interpret the scriptures in whatever way we want. (whether it be the bible, torah, or quran)
Now considering you can't even read the quran I wouldn't consider you in the position to interpret anything.
In fact could you please interpret the following verse (without the help of scholars)...
"Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly,
I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah." And whoever takes Shaitan (Satan) as a Wali (protector or helper) instead of Allah, has surely suffered a manifest loss."
What does slitting the ears of cattle refer to here?
Let me explain something to you so you will understand the nature of our current argument from my point of view: You are an unrepentant Transgressor of the Faith of Al-Islam who, according to the Qur'an, will experience a pain so great on the Day of Judgment, it is likened to burning in a lake of fire for all of eternity. One of the ways you got to that point is the way in which you have studied the religion you were supposed to be following and the conclusions your particular mind decided to come to about it, and you honestly think that I, as a God-fearing Muslim, am going to take ANYTHING that you say as some kind of at-face-value truth about Islam? I really don't care about 1.) your opinions about Islam 2.) your opinions about the "true nature" of "correct scholarship" in Islam 3.) your opinions about how I live my Islam.
I suggest you not continue along in that way. Everything you personally think about Islam will send me to hell, so I am not talking anything you say as a truth or something I should aspire to emulate.
I see what your saying "im an apostate so therefore my argument is invalid"
I figured you might say this so thats why I showed you the evidence from ISLAMIC SCHOLARS...i guess they are also apostates that are going to hell?
In fact, every Muslims on the planet doesn't understand the religion and are going to hell except you. And you came to this conclusion by reading an english translation of the quran that one of those hellbound scholars translated for you.
No, I accused you of having the traits of a bigoted Arab because you said, "I find it hilarious that you consider yourself a learned man of the scripture..." because I'm not fluent in Arabic. Implying that I'm not allowed to read or learn anything from the interpretations at all.
You are saying you are fit to interpret a scripture that you cannot even read let alone understand.
