Nozzi: You are wrong someone did escape death. Jesus escaped death and he was a human according to the Koran.

Nozzi: You wrote:

>>The phrase, Every soul shall have a taste of death, in Quran 3:185 implies that nobody on this earth could ever be smart enough to escape from death and that includes you, Plato.<<

Somebody did escape the taste of death. Jesus by the claim of the Koran was just another human. The Koran also tells us that he was raised to heaven and did not die.

>>What is that event that is mentioned in Quran 3:185? It is none other than Quran 3:185, "...(that emphasizes that) shall be paid full recompense". The phrase, shall be paid full recompense, in Quran 3:185 certainly refers to the sins for non-muslims and whatever evil deeds that have been done.<<

What about the sins of Muslims? Do they never commit any sins? What about the extremist Muslims you keep talking about. What will be their recompense?

>>Those muslim extremists that encourage muslims to fight against non-muslims while they are on earth right before the last judgment day, certainly do not respect Allah's instruction since Allah wants all these to be dealt on the last judgment day.<<

Now read this verse:

009.005 YUSUFALI: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Is this verse asking you to wait till Judgment Day to fight the pagans? Where does the Last Day fit into this blood-curdling verse?

Let me ask you again, Nozzi, what is the recompense of these extremist Muslims who think they are doing Allah's work on earth.

religion. Muslim religion is indeed a religion that is filled with mercy since it shows us how merciful that our Allah is and yet you have abused it for your own motive.<<

Tell your readers what kind of mercy does Allah convey with these verses:

014.017 YUSUFALI: In gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.

014.050 YUSUFALI: Their garments of liquid pitch, and their faces covered with Fire;

003.056 YUSUFALI: "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

Allah promises terrible agony for unbelievers in this life itself. How many unbelievers have you seen suffering terribly in your lifetime. Compare them with the Muslims who suffer terribly. Hint: Read what is happening to Muslims in Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.

>>Just imaging if Allah would destroy all the pagans in this earth without showing revelation to Muhammad about the Last Judgment Day, all of us would not have a chance to hear the message of Allah and we might continue the path of idolatry and ultimately causes us to be condemned on the Last Judgment Day.<<

Nozzi, I think you think Allah is some kind of idiot. Why would He create pagans and destroy them? Would He create them in the first place and waste His time destroying them? Allah is not doing anyone any favour by revealing His Koran. If He did not reveal who would be there to admire it or reject it?

>>Allah wants us only to deal with non-muslims on the Last Judgment Day due to he is willing to wait patiently for the repentance of non-muslims.<<

Muslims are supposed to deal with non-Muslims on Judgment Day. You have no clue what the Koran says about the Last Day. Only Allah will be the one who will speak or do anything else on this Day

Regards

Plato
