    Why would God's ultimate power come with ultimate responsibility?

    This has nothing to do with what you and @Trailblazer are talking about, but you guys are very different in some ways, but look at how she gave you a friendly even though you disagree. I also note the friendly icon above.

    Yes, I am well aware that Muslims sometimes stone adulterers today. @Twilight Hue was talking about the Jews today. This incident involved Muslims. Apples and Oranges. I don't think Muslims should be doing that as indicated in my post. I have difference of opinion with Muslim ulama.

    Here you are being illogical to defend your position. How about the possibility of free will of the driver, which God for His reasons thought was best. I'm not going to argue with God. Your perspective will differ, of course.

    We are not talking about today. It was to 620s in the CE calendar. In the first hadith, clearly Muhammad was applying the Jewish law because they were Jews, and the Jewish law was stoning. The Jews weren't following their own law out of expediency. Narrated Ibn 'Umar: A Jew and a Jewess were...

    Stoning to death (رجم Rajm), according to traditional interpretations of Islamic law, is a punishment for married adulterers as well as certain other unlawful sexual relations including homosexual relationships, and is one example of abrogation (naskh) being applied to Qur'anic text (which...

    You are not talking of people not following Qur'anic religious law. For instance there is no law in the Qur'an for stoning an adulterer. 2. The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication -- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: let not compassion move you in their case, in a...

    Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

    5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good...

    Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

    I see this a little differently. For me, the Most Great Ocean to me is the Holy Spirit. It is not about whether God exists, but using your spiritual powers or susceptibilities to attain spiritual enlightenment, so to speak. Just knowing that God exists does have some utility, but it's nothing...

    Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

    Because of this stuff there was a person named Marcion in the 2nd century that God created a demi-urge, and this demi-urge was the "God" of the Old Testament, and the real God was the God of the New Testament. Completely illogical, I know. I see the Old Testament as less reliable than the new...

    Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

    Wow! I'm blown away about the first one. I noticed I did see the second one since I gave it a like at the time, though I don't really remember it since it was awhile ago.

    I didn't know before your husband is a Christian, and also heard in the past here he supports you as you are. What a great person!

    Oh, you now subscribe to medium! I used to once, but since I was paying little attention to medium, I terminated the subscription. Dale Lehman writes short stories on Medium. Look him up.

    Very logical, but I doubt this person will buy it. That's not the point for though, is it?

    It is the latter. The Baha'is believe in the Imam succession. Though I took a course in Shi'i Islam where evidence was presented which threw doubt on the existence of the 12th Imam. It was a course run by Baha'i scholars, by the way.
