I apologize

I apologize if you thought I was disparaging your faith. I am not. The issue was whether of not there are errors in the Koran and I am pointing out certain verses which a reasonable person finds incompatible with either science (that human sperm comes from a clot of blood or that the sun goes down in a pond) or places where the Koran says contradictory things. You say "Day" means an age in the Koran so it still does not compute. Did the holy one created the earth in 2 ages as it says or 6 ages as it say?

Is it OK to beat wives and keep slaves? Is warfare commanded for you or is pacifism Allah (the blessed) one's will?

Should I sacrifice a camel or does Allah (the compassionate) want mercy instead?

Should I build a house of prayer or is my body the house of prayer?

Did Yahshuah really die or was it just an illusion?

Was Allah (the all powerful) the father of Adam, or if not who was?

The Gospel of Luke says that Adam was the son of Allah (the merciful) , but the Koran says it is a blasphemy to say that Allah (the merciful) had a son.

Dear cousin I am not disparaging merely seeking the truth.

Salem to you
