no

That ayah refers to when the romans were coming to destroy madinah, so god told the muslims to go fight them and not wait for them until they are subdued. there is no ayah on not to make friends with christians, and furthermore, the early muslims befriended the christian king of abysinnia

ok i know that. I didnt say anything about this issue

I already adressed that.

i do believe in the quran and cannot follow these ayahs cause they adress an issue that occurred and was resolved 1400 years ago

that will probably never happen, but why not (rhetorical)

Why did you come here if you are not a native American?

and you got it
